If that's the case it doesn't work. Nothing against Steven - nothing can make that work. It's goodbye time for Ian. What I would do is kill him off and have a very bitter, drug addicted Peter return for his funeral, in a clash between "good" Steven and "bad" Peter, only for viewers to know it's nowhere near that simple.

Other than this with Ben and Johnny the show has had mostly chaste gay characters, and all in supporting roles, for many months. They also try to pretend that Steven is straight. The show is lucky that after looking so ridiculous over the Kathy return, Gavin, etc. no one cares what EE does anymore, as if Emmerdale turned a bi or gay character straight there would be a real backlash. I think Johnny and Steven would make the better contrast, although I wouldn't say no to Ben and Steven. The problem is Steven is so boring now it's obvious the show just isn't even bothered. He's there to be dull so that we can seemingly cheer for useless Lauren to get dicked.

That's quite an article. At first you think it's sympathetic but as time passes it paints him as a sad, lost child. I imagine he will love it. So it looks like the adviser with half a brain (Kushner) wanted him to steer clear. Not surprised he didn't listen. This made me laugh: In the midafternoon, a beaming Mr. Trump climbed into the rig of a black tractor-trailer, which had been driven to the White House for an event with trucking industry executives, honking the horn and posing for a series of tough-guy photos — one with his fists held aloft, another staring straight ahead, hands gripping the large wheel, his face compressed into an excited scream.

I guess that explains why the scene was so poorly done Gwendoline Christie had to go out and tell viewers that Stannis was actually dead. I still can't believe someone got an Emmy for any of that.

Everyone and their brother probably already saw this years ago but I hadn't. It's weird watching it in 2017. It's also kind of funny that Kandi's sketch comedy "bitch please" face is much less exaggerated than the one she uses on the show.

Thanks. I never knew of any articles with her. Wow. She's too hard to play Jill at that stage. She looks a lot like the actress who currently plays Faith Dingle on Emmerdale.

Oh you haven't missed anything. I just think you might enjoy these past Tuesday episodes if you ever have free time. The rest I'd say skip.

It was more than a day, definitely, as there's even a photo of her in an old SOD synopsis. Clips of her used to be online - it was when Jack was dating Lindsay Wells.

Pelphrey looks a lot like Fred Armisen now. He always did, actually. Nia Long (not a soap star in recent years but always Kat Speakes in my heart) seems to have gotten into some sort of media flap about alleged bad behavior on the set of Empire. I've seen people speculating this will lead to her getting the Monique treatment. I hope not - she's too good for that fate.

Their banter scenes on Tuesday were actually pretty funny and not as embarrassingly stilted as they have been recently. You may enjoy those. Otherwise it's just forced. But they randomly brought in a third guy their age as some longtime friend of Jay's that we have never seen or heard of to play a part in the laddish pratfalls, so maybe he will stay around and they'll move away from that with Ben and Jay.

It's blame Obama time...and many in the press will lap it up. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/mo-brooks-blame-obama-health-care

Is that ever going to be released? Ben and Jay have incredible chemistry and I think the show is uncomfortably aware of it, which is why they call each other "bruv" when they never did that before last year when it really started getting notice, but sadly I doubt the show will ever go there.

I'm not sorry it's been postponed but I do worry what will pass that will be even worse (either that or they will just let ACA die and have nothing as a replacement as they also gut Medicare and Medicaid). I'm also dreading the inevitable pud pulling from many over the "principled" far right Congress hacks. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-freedom-caucus-health-care-236418

I'd have it as Johnny because it would cause a lot of drama with Mick as well and help bring Mick down, which he needs. I have never been that attracted to Johnny (although Sam Strike had a nice ass), but I do think Ted Reilly is cute. I also thought that kissing scene with Ben on Tuesday was way hotter than I would have expected.

He should have an affair with Johnny. I doubt the show will do it though. It's very clear the show now sees gay characters as supporting only.

That's disgusting, and sadly not surprising. You'd think this would lead to a lawsuit as didn't they pass laws about this years ago? Is anyone else getting more and more spam calls and scam calls in recent months? I sometimes get one or two a day, week in and week out. My mother got one and was nearly tricked into agreeing to donate money. This is something else I thought had gone away.

I believe part of 1980, but someone else will know more.

It sounds to me like this man never grieved properly for his son and this is the result we get. I guess that isn't very nice of me to say. I have limited sympathy for the endless amount of Trump voters who always seem to talk about the many sacrifices they make and how let down they are. It's one thing to meet someone in a diner and hear them vent about it, another to know they endlessly get to sell their stories. I don't see the Washington Post rushing out to interview the disabled person who can barely leave their home and depends on government funding to pay their rent or pay for basic meds or food and for this basic attempt at survival is repeatedly told that we are being compassionate to them as we throw them on the street and lock the door behind them.

Thanks for the rundown. I'm looking forward to the new faces and momentum. I'll miss Anna though...

I think it has more to do with how incompetent, stubborn and deluded he continues to be and how inept his team is. I think a lot of people in and out of the government were willing to give him a chance. He didn't bother. Even now he's getting more of a chance than many would. Anyway, I usually wouldn't link anything from tired, faux-contrarian Slate, but this headline about this oaf really says it all: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/03/22/energy_secretary_rick_perry_weighs_in_on_texas_a_m_student_election.html

Has he ever talked about whether he was written out or wanted to leave? Jody Lee is such an interesting character in that they always gave possibilities of more, but they never went beyond the surface. Not really. I wish they had. Still, I enjoyed him, and his relationship with "Liz Liz." I've been slowly catching up on the show with my mother. We're in August 1969, with two frankly not very good stories (Althea's amnesia and the Nancy/Mike saga) having gone on and on and on and on and on for months (Penny's terror tantrums being the not very good story preceding the amnesia one). They took a break for an episode that was mostly Jody Lee and Liz in the park, Jody Lee singing, Jody Lee and Liz talking about the problems of the world. There was even a scene where they joked around and wrestled a bit in an elevator, like she used to do with Steve. It jolted me, because it was so much more what the show used to be before early 1969. I've heard it gets much worse soon - not looking forward to that. I don't like Liz's hair at all. The "gamine" hair and frilly cuffs and collar is all very early '30s. I guess that was back in vogue in the late '60s but it doesn't suit her.

The fake "mainstream" and Trump, I agree. The Fascism Caucus, sadly I disagree. Anyway, I braved a bit of the Gorsuch hearings and, not that it matters to confirmation, but I was surprised at how phony and "I feel your pain"-esque he seemed. Very patronizing game show host circa 1981. I guess that's why Trump was drawn to him. I'm glad that a lot of the Democrats have basically just said over and over and over that he's a puppet and have read words back to him from Republicans confirming he's a puppet. He may have been prepared for it in theory, but you can tell it flustered and annoyed the hell out of him very quickly.
