I couldn't blame them after the way Masood acted. He's so selfish, especially since he has a young child he never sees. Shirley is just grotesque. It would be interesting if they had Roxy sexing up a rapist to explore her toxic daddy issues, given how ardently she defended Archie, but most likely it was just because he sort of looks like Charlie and they wanted to shock us. There was a clip from the day Roxy and Ronnie arrived where he hit on her. I guess he finally got his turn.

I think the idea of it was to be inspirational, which it may have been if Charita hadn't been ill

I wish they'd done more with Clem. 2 and a half years and nothing.

Thanks! I knew she looked familiar.

Nancy Frangione ad at about 7 minutes in.

The ratings for BH didn't really go up with prized new additions, and NY hasn't either. I think the days of most of the Housewives shows having any audience beyond what they already have are probably over.

Rita McLaughlin in the feminine hygeine product ad around 4 minutes in (or a bit later). Dorothy Stinnette in another one later in the clip. Who is the black woman in the ad right after Rita's? She looks familiar.

That would have been interesting, although I wonder if she would have fit the Y&R style.

Really enjoyed this trailer.

Is the clip of her dying at the wedding available?

Not sure if this will help you or not: http://edgehomepage.com/storylines-1981.html They also mislabel April 23, 1979 as April 20 (I have it as April 23 on my channel).

A great example of a silly scene improved by crisp, interesting direction. A Doctor Who director (he directed Colony in Space) talked about how he directed an episode of Eastenders and tried to give direction to the actors, and someone in production came and told him he should just say, "Act better" and not bother with the rest. He said he never did get asked to direct another episode... I saw someone on DS post a few weeks ago that they met Nina Wadia after a play and she told them that if they wanted Zainab back, to write to the show, because it was the show's choice not to bring her back. If true, that's a shame, as this story would be a lot more interesting with her. Today was one of Matt di Angelo's better performances, but all the focus on poor Shirley and Shirley's woe and Shirley's boozing again makes me wince. Speaking of wincing, everything with Stacey and Kush is forced and mostly feels like an excuse to tear Stacey down so she can be on the gormless idiot Martin's level. She has little to no chemistry with Kush, and this instant attraction between them, her undercuttiing Shabnam in public because of him, her trawling the kitchen talking about how she needs him and how lonely she is - it's just trash. And boring trash at that. The Roxy/Ronnie scene was probably the only good scene in the whole episode.

Never seen this one.

I think he was fired both times, but didn't he want to leave the first time? I can't remember.

Sunny seems like one of those female characters who only had a chance on soaps from the late '70s to the mid '80s. I wish we had more now. Sherry had a lot of spirit that helped make Liza seem less like a victim. Something else rare on soaps now, which are all about degrading women.

Thanks! This is the last of the clips I had saved (I think - there may be one more around somewhere). I'm glad I found this one again as it's one of the only glimpses of Steve I've seen on Youtube. My heart breaks every time I see Sherry Mathis. So gorgeous.

I found two more from that channel. Can anyone tell me who all the people are in this clip? I know Sunny and Janet, and one guy is named Buck. And can you tell me who played Scott's son Eric (?)?

I uploaded the March 1998 episodes I had. Unfortunately there are a lot of gaps. You can find the summaries starting here for the episodes I don't have. http://emmerdale.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_2330_(3rd_March_1998) There's also this clip, which someone put up a few years back, and must have been sometime in March, I assume.

Do you remember who any of the other actors were? Sad about John Colenback. Handsome man, and while I have only seen a little of his work, I can see why he was popular in the role.

Liza/Sherry sings in clip #7 - what a gorgeous voice Sherry had. What a talent. This Travis and Liza stuff seems so cheesy, in one way, but they have such chemistry and they sell it with all their heart.

I haven't seen much of the show so I can't say, as synopses don't tell the whole story, but I get the feeling the actors likely did a lot to make the characters seem more gray. I have to admit Val Dufour doesn't really do much for me though. Anyway, for anyone who wants to see them (sorry Monika - I couldn't remember if you'd seen these before or not).
