Pete's my number one pick, and Harris is number two. He reminds me so much of Obama, including his approach to the issues.

It's almost a tradition for every incoming producer to recast Ben and reinvent the character. It's a shame.

I think the next HW's aren't any better, Mel and Ethel Brez I believe? Although things do get a little better after those two leave.

For all that Joe Stuart had done(good and bad), I think he would've been a better fit for TD during this time. Jeff Young clearly was out of his league while helming this show with changes to the sets, theme music, and revolving door or writers. TD would have benefited from someone with a steady hand to steer the ship especially while soaps like GL were expanding to an hour during this period.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
It's been a long and bumpy road, but I do believe Eastenders is watchable again. I've found myself watching daily , and there's been a few interesting plots building up over the past few weeks.

Glad I wasn't completely sold on him, and yes this does serve as a silver lining.

Not every guy in the picture indulged in the salute, it should be noted that there's one student in the top right corner standing with a somber look on his face if only others in that pic had his way of thinking.

With each passing day, I get less confident that the midterms will restore some sense of sanity in this country. Between voter suppression tactics in Georgia and the lack of interest by some folks in voting, I'm starting think things are gonna get even worse before they get better. It's saddening.

I want to like Avenatti, but a part of me can't help but to feel as if I'll get the rug pulled out from under me with him, similar to Anthony Weiner.

I would have loved to have seen what the Dobsons would have done with Search for Tomorrow.

Speaking of Nola, KH has great chemistry with AA's Mike. She would've been a great spoiler for Toni and Mike, who I am kind of over at this point.

Toni is not Carolee's daughter. However, Toni's half-brother, Billy, is Carolee's stepson from a previous marriage to Dan Allison. Carolee took Billy in as her own after Dan's death, and it was around that time that Billy's actual parentage was revealed that he was the love child of Toni's mother and a man she ran off with. Toni's mother Barbara gave the child to Dan Allison and his first wife to raise as their own. Dan's wife died, and he then married Carolee. Jada has already started airing in a few scenes. Carolee was written off originally as leaving town during a rough patch in her marriage to Steve (which in some instances was fueled by a scheming Ann). I tuned out for much of this so I can't really give more detail other than that. As for the actresses ages, after some research it does appear that the show de-aged Carolee a bit by recasting the role with Rowland. Cenedella created Jerry and Joan if I'm correct. DePriest expanded the family to include Nola, Lew, Sara, and Virginia. Marland is slated to take over in the fall of 1976. It might be in October that we start seeing his name.

I always wanted to know the backstory between Chrissy and Lachlan's dad, looks like we'll never know. Oh well.

If Beto O'Rourke wins in Texas, and that's huge IF, barring any surprise scandals I can see him becoming president one day. His campaign in TX reminds me of Obama's run for Congress in IL.

The show really suffered IMO from not having a long-term antagonist like Dan Allison (a John Dixon type character) to stir the pot in Madison through the years. Love to know what your ideas Khan as to how you would've saved Dan.

Despite Margaret DePriest's faults as a writer, I can honestly say the show is pretty entertaining now(IMO it hasn't been this way since the height of the Pollacks tenure). I love how the Dancy storyline is involving much of the cast.

It seems like NBC has poured plenty of money into the show with the revamp of the hospital, Matt's office, and the Conrads set as well.
