Bright Eyes

That Ian/Carol scene was really good. And Sharon apologizing to Ian was one of those moments where you could feel the writers apologizing to the audience, too. I never stopped loving her, but that still felt good to see. David and Carol break my heart with the quickness. As soap children go, I really like Rebecca so far and want to see more of her.

How was Verity Rushworth as Donna in her first run? I ask because she has been such a breath of fresh air on the show. Not only does she always knock it out of the park, but her and Ross are hot as hell. Girl is smart to get on that as her last ride. I feel so bad that any writer ever paired her with the horrible Marlon? Why waste such a babe on that ugly mug? Sandy whizzing around in his scooter with those goggles he wears always cracks me up. I love him so much. Diane is trying to kill Annie Sugden. Why else would she invite Debbie downer to visit her with kids? True evil.

I hate that little pipsqueak, too. Luckily, he just got suspended from the show. A small justice.

So happy Tracy wasn't the killer. But what a waste to 1) Not to get a goodbye scene with David and 2) Carla never got to confront her. That's bull.

Why do they have to break my David and Carol loving heart? Great soap and completely unexpected way to keep their journey tragic. But f*ck. They also popped out another unannounced return (short term) tonight. Were any of you a fan of hers before? This is my first time seeing her. And in news that warms the cockles of my cold heart, Dexter has been suspended from the show for a few months, just like Fatboy. #smalljustice

TINA: The only thing that confuses me is how you find the time to be a complete and utter bitch. TRACY: I set my alarm early. ... and then after Tina tells her to get stuffed ... TRACY: You really are in the wrong line of work. I mean, you're about as good at this barmaid lark as your dad was at swimming! Sometimes bitchTracy just makes my day complete.

The most shocking scene in soap opera history finally happened ... Debbie and David actually spoke to each other. I truly never thought it was possible. I am floored.

Yes, he is, which is why I hate myself for sympathizing with him today. Jake Wood is too good. Still, I yearn for the day he bangs the wrong woman and gets himself castrated. Peter and Lauren referring to him as a dirty old pervert was right on the money. I wonder if the writers would ever go down the sex addict route with him because they need to do something if I'm ever to believe in him having a real relationship with someone.

Thanks for posting. How fascinating to hear Annie talk about Jacob, how he was a good man, but a bad husband. Having watched the first two volumes from the DVDs, when they were posted on YT, Annie is everything I want in a matriarchal figure.

I really like the twist of Donna using Ross. I hope she treats herself to him. She deserves a break and he's so hot. The guy Finn with is hard to watch, physically. He looks like an alien. So happy Charity ended up having that abortion and now she'll blame Megan for the "miscarriage" I'm sure. Can't wait. The bitch has still got it.

It's the end of the world ... ITV finally made a good promo!

Such an underrated show. It'll be good to see him again.

Did anyone else want Lysa to wise up right at the last minute and push Littlefinger instead? I'll always love Aiden Gillen for my favourite movie, Buddy Boy, but when Littlefinger gets his comeuppance, assuming he does, it better be glorious. (Please, no one spoil if he does or not!!!) What happened to Michael Huisman? He did not look like that on Treme. Yum. Oberyn has so quickly turned into one of my favourite characters ever. I have to watch everything he does and says, explicitly. I'm also happy Loras wasn't who Cersei chose to fight for her. It would've meant the end, presumably, and I don't want him to go yet.

My advice? Watch faster. Also, my comment you quoted was about Dany's brother, not Joffrey.

I have no idea who Callum Monks is, but if the Sam Strike is any indication, we'll have no problem since Strike is absolutely perfect. That sounds hyperbolic, but I don't care.

Bianca better be leaving with her kids, and that especially includes Whitney. It's too bad she can't take Dexter with her, too! LoL

That sucks the big one. He's my favourite male character on the show. This only makes those speculations that Carol will succumb to her cancer even stronger, and if that happens I will be gutted.

I'm excited! Emma is a definite favourite. This story seems likes it's going to be a good one. He'll probably do something big during the feature episode. They do one of those every year, right? As for today, I really hate Harry. The pretentiousness, the cockiness, the braces (LoL). If any kid ever needed to get decked ... And see, Ula is already back having a story with Garett, who's a brand new sight for sore eyes.

After today's episode, I had no idea Shirley left her infant son to die. I was never a fan of hers and now I have even more reason to hate her. Dean tearing a strip off her was great.

Ben Mitchell to be recast - http://www.digitalspy.ca/soaps/s2/eastenders/news/a571071/eastenders-return-for-ben-mitchell-confirmed.html#~oElxf7tGvHYZ84 Very happy Joshua Pascoe isn't returning. He was a pill.

Not even half way in and Cain and Charity are proving why they run this show. Of course, it's also highly amusing that Ross is treating Debbie like the garbage twat that she is. That's justice.

Alison King is such a brilliant actress. Her laying into Peter Monday night was everything. Todd is such a punk. I loved Tyrone punching his lights out. I'm not a longtime Corrie fan, so that may affect my view, but I'm really loving this Maria story. Steph and Luke are the best new characters this show has had in awhile. I really hope they don't screw it up.

How did she die?

I find the first part fascinating as long as I'm not spoiled, which, thankfully hasn't happened yet.

He's Niall Rafferty though ...
