Bright Eyes

16 is the age of consent.

When Val's actions come back to bite Emma in the ass (my speculation), my heart will break. I wonder if that is what will send her to the depths of doolally town.

I saw yesterday that Sean Wilson (Martin Platt) is only turning 50 next month. Was the age difference addressed when Martin was with Gail?

It still shocks me that they're allowed to say p*ssy on this show. Caleb called TK one in today's episode.

I disagree about Kane. I usually hate most child/teenager characters, but Kane never comes off as a brat to me. KJ Apa has everything going for him; he can act, sing, play the guitar and is beautiful. There are already rumours of him leaving soon and when he does he has all the makings of becoming a star. If someone lesser was in the role, Kane might come off how terrible he seems to be to you, but Apa always rises above that stuff and makes me feel for him.

I read on DS awhile back (I don't go to the forums anymore) that at one point Ken and Deirdre admitted they didn't love each other anymore and only married for companionship. It sounded quite interesting, but apparently the show dropped the ball on it or something.

The actor playing Kush was impressive tonight. Being EastEnders, this was probably the happiest episode of the year.

Fascinating. But that is Brooke in a nutshell. It was always obvious to me that the writers loved writing for her. Even at her lows, they managed to keep her dignity in tact, something you don't see a lot of with her type of character these days. Was Bree around during any of the relationship with TK? God knows, Brooke's hands were much too full to steal anything with her and her momma around.

No. I only started in August of 2012. Brooke is my absolute favourite character, though, so please tell me more. Or is that just a tongue in cheek reference to all the men she's stolen.

Jessica Fox is a lucky woman. Nancy has gotten the best quality of men than any other soap character ever.

Is it ignorant to say that it's hard to believe that Donna's dwarfism isn't a huge obstacle to her being single on this show? The shows attempts at putting her with Alfie, Martin, Fatboy or whoever else have just come off awkward and uncomfortable.

Carly's feelings about Donna have yet to be explored on screen. She is practically a brand new character, however, I read an interview with Gemma Atkinson and Donna is one of the reasons Carly is difficult with Bob, on top of the abandonment issues. Emma only knows that Ross loved Donna and lost her tragically. Hadn't you already started watching by the beginning of the year. You should know this. And Carl, to disagree with you some more (sorry!) David and Alicia had already been solidified as a proper couple prior to this story. Proof being that they got the wonderful Christmas wedding, with Leyla shockingly showing up and being thrown in the closet.

Emma doesn't want them together. She knows Ross' reputation as a playboy and clearly sees that he is hung up on Donna so has pushed Carly in his direction to help get him back to that. No way does she even remotely believe it would be possible that they'd become anything substantial. Of course, unfortunately for her, she has no idea how much it'll probably blow up in her face once Carly and Ross find out about each others connection to Donna.

And there you have it ... Pania is a full-on bitch. The show hasn't had a character like this since I've been watching. Rachel lashes out when she feels helpless, Brooke may have lied and schemed, but she was never malicious. Having her treat Bella like dirt was a ballsy move by the writers. I did love her shutting up the horrible Clementine though. I also find it fascinating how they have brought on this kleptomaniac character and are truly treating him like he has an illness. Stuff like this you can't get anywhere else but Shorty.

This is what JKJ looks like now. Brace yourself.

With Jason Herbison confirming that someone will be killed off, it is being heavily speculated that the victim will be

I like both Alya and Zeedan. However, like Luke and Steph, they could work without their useless elder family members.

One of the most boring actors ever. Happy to see that Leanne will be free from that block of nothing.

I never watched RH, but when you guys refer to Siobhan, should I be pronouncing it like it is spelled or like Shavon?

I liked it. The creator, Michael Morgenstern, has done some other really good short films (Shabbat Dinner). Plus, I always thought David Gregory got a bad rap on this board.
