Thanks!

What power did they take away? So many seemed to love Porsha's behavior. I'm glad Bravo didn't...

I'll be happy to post them. If you've already sent them I haven't gotten them (sorry).

From what Melanie Smith has said I tend to wonder if he was "difficult."

Shana was also involved with Mike Donovan before Jim - they had a lot of ups and downs before he realized he still wanted to be with his wife, Noreen. The backstage relationship between Susan Keith and James Kiberd also had a lot of ups and downs, with dislike and tension paving the way for love and marriage. And at one point in her 1990 return I think she went against Cabot for control of Alden Enterprises, because she blamed him for the plane crash that killed her husband and son.

Monika I found another Anne Wyndham article (you may already have it). October 1976 Afternoon TV

Thanks. Are you enjoying UU right now?

For me that really helps make the scene even more powerful.

They have a classic section on their DAYS forum - I'd give a link but I don't think we're supposed to.

Thanks. You may want to post at Daytime Royalty too.

Big summer spoilers, complete with a cheestastic photo shoot (Danny Miller will never live those shoes down) and some ridiculously OTT quotes from the ITV soaps guy that sound like he's been reading too much Daytime Confidential. The stories don't do much for me, but we'll see. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a647752/emmerdale-chrissie-sugden-to-discover-robert-and-aarons-affair.html#~pcOBnyCAZYmqyY http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a647757/emmerdale-boss-teases-future-plots-debbie-is-on-a-collision-course.html#~pcOjHcRJ2JqyQO http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a647734/emmerdale-gears-up-for-steamy-summer-of-infidelity.html#~pcOjGTCnjyClnP I'm still so worried for my beautiful Leyla

That's hilariously bad. I don't remember Janet Leigh showing that much breast either. How do you think 1996 compares to recent years?

That triangle is very Illuminati. I'd never seen the Olympics one. Whose piano was that? Random faces for the circles, although it was nice to see Gita included.

Jai and the departed Nikhil are Priya's brothers. Their parents are Rishi and Georgia. Priya and David got involved while Alicia was in prison for pucnhing Val. David was in love with Alicia but they had a lot of communication problems. When she got out, Priya and David got engaged, but he ultimately left her for Alicia. By this time Priya was pregnant. A teenage eating disorder resurfaced and the baby nearly died. Priya decided to try an arranged marriage, which is how she met Rakesh. I don't think they're actually married yet though.

Jai is Rakesh's father. Rachel is the mother. Rachel and Jai had sex while he was married to Charity. There was an endless deception to keep Charity in the dark (at one point Jai's father pretended to be Archie's father), but she ultimately found out and ran Rachel and the baby off while dumping Jai. Geez BE no wonder you couldn't take her. What Mary Sue writing.

(this skips 06-07) This comment amused me.

She was more long-suffering and somber, as her difficult marriage to Jim defined her. I didn't realize she was with Des - didn't she have a thing with his brother too?

Chrissie is such a whiny loser and Louise Marwood is so bad at dramatic scenes I'm surprised you could root for her.

Is the VJ recast as bad as I keep hearing?

Thanks for all those details. I really appreciate it. Do you think this period is worth watching? So Tom was gay - was he just jealous of Jule with Florian like on a friend level, or did he have feelings for her?

I realized I never left a comment on some of these... Loved Iris trying to get to Rachel and the Corys through Felicia. Great writing. Having the bond between Sharlene and Mitch grow, as those close to them struggle with it, is a very smart choice.
