Bright Eyes

THE ZIT REMEDY! That's not in Jr. though, right?

SNOW PATROL - Same

Considering Jack has been on the show for the almost all of the show's run like Tony, do (did) they have a close relationship of any kind? I will do my best, QUICK, go pick up "The Secret" at bargain bins across North America. We can do this! No, I never saw that stuff with Dominic as I only started watching after Y&RWorldTurner jumped on me enthusiastically about Clare Devine. Your mention of Hollyoaks cancellation got me thinking. I know it's a dead end in the US, but is there any hope of a new soap being created in the UK, ever again?

I read that today. Now I might actually have to watch this crap? ... If I can.

BRAND NEW - Me. vs. Maradonna vs. Elvis

If the show was smart, they would beef up Cindy's role in India's life. It would be a great and particularly easy way to make me care about her. Did anyone notice that nasty ass yellow/diseased tooth father Valentine had? Other than me completely ignoring anything hypocritical Sasha has to say, it really took me out of the scene. I'll really miss Kyle. Potential WASTED. But damn, Anita victimized again? Can this girl just kill herself already? I'd say turn her into a stone cold bitch, but the actress would never be able to pull that off. What the hell was that ish with Jack and Cheryl? More importantly, WHY is Cheryl NOT paying rent and, more importantly, NOT doing her own goddamn laundry? STUPID.

My heart just sank reading that. My Frankie would NEVER!

Wow, what a great episode today. Just all around good soap.

I'm shocked you guys liked the Masood/Beale scenes. I thought they were boring for the most part. Ian was pretty funny though. I don't know why but today Ben's voice got on my effin nerves. I couldn't stop laughing every time he opened his mouth. IT. WAS. TOO. MUCH. When is the actor gone? And I'm assuming we saw the last of the current Lucy awhile back, right? I absolutely am all over this Lucas story. I totally think he's lying that the body was Denise. It's all in his devious plan to pin her as Owen's murderess and get off scot free. Kirkwood has done a great job at making this story a winner.

Honestly, if after the six months that Alex Carter is supposed to be on the show is up, I'll make my decision on if I'll keep watching. But my God, if they even HINT at pairing Lee and Cheryl, I WILL EXPLODE!

Cheryl just gets more aggravating with every episode. I. JUST. CAN'T. I don't mind Beth Kingston much either and the character seems likable enough, I just don't see why I should care about her. As for Charlotte, I kind of like her, but the actress doesn't do anything for me. I am going to say it ... I LOVE KYLE. Neil Toon has a lot of screen presence, and as a villain, he's believable. At least from what I've seen. Is he one the the characters departing? I really hope not. I loved Theresa in their scenes together where she went back and forth from standing up to him and being scared. I was really invested in those scenes. Two decent actors just giving us good drama. Yeah, I didn't buy Steph buying Loretta's BS either. What's going to happen now, Loretta's going to cause some crazy stunt, die, and Jake will be blamed for it?

It was his first "wife." In the episode I just watched, Jack admits they were never actually married, but since they lived together for a good amount of time, she assumed his last name. Lynn was only seen in one episode though, so far anyway. I absolutely love Janie Harker. She's a breath of fresh air. Her and Frank are a good couple, too. On the other side of the coin, I HATE Jack. He's an as*hole, a prick and severely pompous. It drives me crazy.

I just finished with episodes 26 on YouTube and with that I have a random observation/comment. I think it would have been a smart move to have Val be Lynn Sugden, maybe with a secret child?

Agreed.

Ugh.

This is not good at all. I'll miss Amy and definitely Malachy. With Amy leaving as well as Eliott and Steph, Nancy really doesn't have ANYONE left at all. Horrifying. And with the latest episode where Cheryl was practically EVERYWHERE, I am scared to think of what will happen to Hollyoaks. I'm sorry, but I don't really care about Charlotte, Jem, Duncan, Cheryl, Ricky, India, Ravi, Anita, Gaz, or Rae. I'm prone to giving the Sharpes, Costellos and O'Conners a chance but if they fail all this show will have is ... Tony, Cindy, Darren, Jack/Frankie, Holly/Tom, Gilly, Rhys, Nancy, and the McQueens. Hopefully, they'll pair Lee and Nancy!

With Carley Stenson leaving, Jessica Fox is the best actress on this show and my personal favorite. Through everything, I have ALWAYS loved Nancy so Marquess better get clever and give her something to do. If he lets her leave, I'll be FURIOUS! As for Davies, I really enjoyed him with Leila before I stopped watching. Maybe he'll leave with Michaela

In the This Morning interview Bylthe said we'll be seeing more of her soon. I'm hoping that's true.

You must be somewhat happy that they're bringing on Declan's father, eh? I hope they pair him with Betty, I miss her.

Wow, that stuff he mentioned about Moira sounds really good. One thing I like about this drug plot is that the writers are having Holly be addicted to lame drugs like pot or "pain killers." Even cocaine is pretty light and I like that he's using that to get Holly more effed up!

Aaron was so NICE today. It kind of threw me for a loop. Chaz/Charity steal EVERY scene they're in. F U C K, I LOVE THEM! So he's dying ... okay.

So Phil is now a rapist! Of the musical variety! Same sentiments as you Alvin. I got a couple questions ... 1) Does Heather have feelings for Darren at all? 2) How did Jack end up in the hospital? Also, does Shirley own a brush at all?

The show doesn't use her more because ... I have no freaking idea and it pisses me off. The actress is wonderful and SHOULD be the next big heroine of the show. Le sigh. She does share scenes with Andy every once and awhile. They get on really well. Andy lives with Ryan Lamb and Rhona Goskirk. Victoria is off to Spain to visit her and Andy's grandmother, Annie Sugden. I don't know for how long, but it's NOT permanent.

Don't forget Victoria, Ben. Though, the show always seems too.

Totally with you Carl. The whole thing with Cheryl was very ... WTF? Lucy Allan really forced her into having some sort of pseudo relationship with every single person on this show, eh? How utterly horrible. I thought the stuff with Dave was quite funny. That fat ass Duncan is staying and Dace, who is actually very likable, will soon be gone, drives me batty.
