Bright Eyes

Damn, now I'm going to have to watch that trainwreck. LOVE Tanya Franks, or at least her portrayal of Rainie.

I can't watch Emmerdale anymore. Every single story is either an affair story, is derived from an affair story or is turned into an affair story. Plus, they refuse to give Victoria a story at all, which is just retarded on every level. Not to mention the cast is full of useless dead weight and/or tired characters. Zak/Marlon/Ashley/Paddy/Cain/Edna/Bob/Rodney/Nicola/Katie/Rhona/Laurel/Chas/Debbie/Pearl/Carl/Jimmy/Sandy/Brenda/Lizzie/Moira/Adam/Jai/Priya/Declan/Alicia/Amy/Cameron/Alex/Rachel/Sean/Abby/Ruby/Rishi/Dan/Megan/Robbie and anyone else that isn't Alan/Betty/Andy/Victoria/Eric/David/Val/Diane/Gennie/Nikhil/Charity should be given the heave ho. I know that list is extremely unlikable to see cut, but damn, Emmerdale sucks that bad.

Skye producing Wave? BRILLIANT. That's a very nice chess move. An Adam / Skye scene. I really want an Adam / Skye scene. And Mateo dead wouldn't hurt, LoL. I wonder what Viki will have to say about Clint's plans.

Educate me, why do Skye and Erica hate each other? That last scene was a sure fire way to make me instantly like Clint. On another note, Lorenzo is dead, right? Where is Lila Rae exactly?

One which they gladly do. They should have said the child Lou gave up was instead Albert's and the woman he had an affair with that Lou never knew about. It's this and the endless amounts of Lou's children that I just don't like.

You're bringing in these newbies correctly so far. Half the fun of the show is all these different interactions. Personally, I would have liked to see a little more hesitation and reservation between Hayley and Skye, but there's no way their relationship will be all roses so I'll just wait. Linking Anjelica to Lindsay was a very nice touch. I wonder what she did that put her in the clink. LoL

I find Never Too Young to be such a gem. The whole "Oh, gee. Good Golly." atmosphere never feels to brighten my day, though I can understand how that could get tired for a daily program, especially a soap opera.

Mac saying Beanie had written an original spelling of traitor was a pretty polite way of saying he spelled it wrong. LoL Meg has to be one of the most fascinating characters in soap opera history. And Beanie looked like such a playboy in that robe. I hat usually hate children, but I thought the actor playing him was great. Carl, do you have the link to the episode where Beanie's friend is run over?

I also can't wait for Skye / Haylet. Their relationship (or lack thereof) will be one of the most interesting things of the series, for sure. Hayley / Clint was an interesting interaction. I wonder if he and Erica will clash. Peter's a very naughty boy it seems. I imagine Peter isn't his real name either?

Are these people from New Hampshire, especially Brianna, aware of Hayley's alcoholism? I guess this will be a huge point in the Hayley/Erica relationship. GH history question: Did Skye and Ric ever hook up? It seems like they would, but I wouldn't want to assume. Interesting to see Skye knows Lucas by a different name. Which brings me to a random thought, don't you think it's time a soap had a male prostitute. So many females have been on the game and never a guy. It'd make a nice change. And now this Jacqueline person ... is there a reason her last name hasn't been revealed? Considering all the other new characters have them, me thinks she's related/connected to someone we all know. Oh, and cute title!

Finished 1986 this afternoon and what a stupendous year it was. Probably the best year the show ever had. And the end of year cliffhanger was the PERFECT way to cap it all off. I'm going to take a bit of break from Walford before I get to downloading 1987, but the memories of the past year will keep me in soap opera heaven until I do.

Ah, my Skye is back in my life and though I love her facing off against Skye her remark about Blair having children with many men was odd. And I know Mateo has disappeared, but why does Hayley go by her maiden name? Is this a CELEB thing or are they divorced? And with Rick Her(b)st on the cast, I just have a feeling he'll be getting between Blair and Skye. The chemistry sure as hell would be on fire.

Thanks for the clarification on that Jaqueline scene. As for Erica, now that Kendall is finally dead, I like to think that Erica is back to the age she's supposed to be and the De-SORAS'ing of her character can be forgetten.

Yay Kendall's dead! JR is a hero! I'm guessing (and hoping) that Blair's competition is SKYE! And if it is we can finally see more of the Skye/Hayley relationship. And as a plus, I love that Blair is away from all her unwatchable baggage. Let's keep it that way for a nice long time. "Erika Kane is going to New Hampshire." The line of the episode. Absolutely hilarious. All in all good first episode with intriguing bits like Mateo's disappearance to make us want more. However, this part confused me ... "(Outside of the empty restaurant, Victoria answers her cell phone) Jacqueline: Well hello, Ms. Rappaport. I didn't think I'd be hearing from you again." Whose Victoria? Whose Ms. Rappaport? This scene made no sense to me.

I like reading your speculation. Just put it in spoiler tags in the future.

It was announced at least a month ago, but I'm very happy to see that a fourth volume for Emmerdale Farm is being released August 27, 2012! They must be selling marginally well, right? A description of what to expect ... Joe and Carol's romance; the recently bereaved Matt Skilbeck's ongoing struggle to bring up the twins; the arrival of George Verney's young nephew, Mark, and subsequent conflict with Mark's father; the combined efforts of Jack, the Rev. Ruskin and Dr Scott to help recalcitrant widower Charlie Nelson; and local victory in the annual Beckindale vs. Robblesfield cricket match.

My favourite Foster the People song!

I NEED to see this movie. Channing Tatum looks better than ever, Alex Pettyfer is a dreamboat and BIG DADDY COOL (Kevin Nash) is in it, too!!! This movie will be hilarious, one way or another.

The writers really stretched themselves out naming his character, eh?

Ben's exit is excellent news. Him murdering Heather made my day and I'm happy to read that his stay won,t be extended illogically. Assuming he probably won't be gone until the fall when Derek's contract is up with the show, I hope he Derek learns his secret and Ben is found out after murdering Derek as well. Alls well that ends well.

I, too, am shocked at the mention of Mike having a girlfriend. I'm sure this Sharon was extremely minor as a character, but I always believed the Trish/Linda story was Mike's first foray into relationships. I wonder if Sharon might have been mentioned during that story. Carl, I'm not positive, but I think Burt worked for Anderson Manufacturing. I also believe he and Mary were once engaged. The real delight in these synopses are the small details never mentioned before, such as David being in military school and Mary having left for South America. Thank you so much for posting these will81.

Is it too hopeful of me to wish that Carol returns without the children? With her on her own, it would be quite interesting to see who'd she interact with.

When it comes to looks, they are certainly nice to look at, so at least there's that. It's better than the frat boy type like Tyler, which always unsettles me. Regarding Whitney, I can't speak for the pedophile story, but she certainly was a great character to watch during the prositution story. I never understood why it fizzled out so badly.
