I think we are just starting to find out how dangerous or not this virus is. Most information about it was based off data from China, which I'm not sure can be 100% trusted. A lot of our medical experts have been saying only 2% of people who get this will die, because that's what happened in China. South Korea's is way lower than that, but Iran's death rate is 4.8% and Italy's death rate is at 6.8%. They have been saying it mostly affects older people because that's what the data from China showed, but both Italy and France have announced people under 60 are also in the ICU. Today France said 50% of their people in the ICU due to this virus is UNDER 60. I think the more data we get from other countries the more we'll know if this is overblown or not.

So I loved Friday's episode and the entire week. I thought they did a good job of merging all the stories together, wrapping up a lot of existing stories and starting a bunch of new ones. I'm admittedly a newer viewer (I did watch EE for a time several years ago, then quit), so I'm not as familiar with every legacy character, I do understand why people are upset with Dennis dying, especially since it sounds like EE has killed off young legacy characters several years in a row. I don't think legacy character should always be exempt from being killed off, but you do have to be strategic about it. You can't be killing them all off either. Make sure you have a long term plan if you're going to do it. Hopefully EE does. I personally would have killed off Phil, since I find him to be the Sonny Corinthos of EE, but I knew that's not ever going to happen.

It's not perfect, but I've been enjoying this week so far as well. I keep changing my mind on who is going to die. I hope it's not Bex or Dennis either.

His only real successful pairing was with Roman. I wish someone on the show would remember that Deniz is bisexual and give him a MALE love interest.

It seems strange to me we never got a Phil and Keanu scene or a Sharon and Keanu scene post reveal. You have this big reveal that Sharon is carrying Keanu's child and most of the key players are sidelined in the immediate aftermath. Instead it's been mostly about Ben, Martin and Linda. An odd choice. I suppose it's possible the show is waiting the 35th Anniversary in February and Keanu will come back to blow things up.

For one, I found it boring. I don't read spoilers and I still saw most of the twists a mile away (Except Linda firing the gun, that was a good twist) and we didn't even get that many twists either. I didn't feel it was worth a gimmicky "flashback" episode, especially since I don't think Keanu is all that interesting of a character, nor that great of an actor. I'm glad you liked it though. Just shows that not everyone likes the same things.

Today's flashback episode was pure garbage IMO.

I've been getting into Eastenders and have been watching daily since end of August. Last time I watched EE, was several years ago. Overall I've been really enjoying the show, but it's not perfect. The Christmas episode I thought was meh. Some moments I liked, but for most part it seemed it was all about shock value than actual plot. Especially since they announced the New Years Day episode will be a flashback episode of Christmas Day and will show what really happened. I don't believe Keanu is dead. Martin was freaking out over a hit and run accident just the day before. Being turned into a murder in just one episode would be quite a leap. Victoria Foxton, I'm with you on your concerns over Ballum and Ben. Even if Keanu is alive, Ben still ordered the murder. Are we really supposed to want Callum back with a guy that ordered a murder? I wonder if Ben with Martin, helped fake Keanu's death?

Someone does upload english subs for the gay storylines on Unter Uns and Sturm Der Liebe, but I don't think anyone does full episodes.

16. Dennis Grabosch as Roman Wild [2006-2011 | 1299 eps] * † I miss Roman so much. Deniz and Roman are my favorite tv couple, and not just "favorite gay couple", but favorite couple period. There was something about them that was special. 13. Ulrike Röseberg as Annette Bergmann Zadek [2006-2012 | 1452 eps] † Another favorite I miss a lot.

So Huntress, I know you don't normally cover Sturm der Liebe since I think it's sort of a telenovela, but someone'e been subbing the Boris and Tobias storyline. I've really been enjoyed it a lot. Then I found out that Tom Chroust is on the writing staff. Given he created Oliver and Christian on VL and Deniz and Roman on AWZ, I have to imagine Boris and Tobias is his idea or has a hand in writing it.

Wow, they moving fast with Easy's storyline.

I hope they don't end Ringo/Valentin, someone's been subtitling it and I've been really enjoying it so far, but going from no gay stories to two, does seem a bit much. Maybe they are going to converge and Ringo/Easy are endgame? I wonder why UU is skittish with the gay story lines? Verbotene Liebe and AWZ never were, though AWZ seems to have completely forgotten that Deniz is bisexual.

Yay! Thanks Huntress! I really hope someone on the internet uploads subtitles online.

Thanks Huntress! Let me how or if it develops into anything!

Huntress, so I was reading on another site that Ringo on Unter Uns might be finally getting a male love interest, Valentin. Does it sound worth checking out? I was vastly disappointed in how the Ringo and Yannick story turned out a few years ago.

Jenny? I know sometimes people come out later in life, but this seems a bit "jump the shark" (or whatever is the German equivalent of the saying). Bring on a guy for Deniz! He's already Bi. Vanessa won the poll for AWZ? I must have radically different tastes than the viewers, I've never ever liked her. LOL

Sonja and Deniz don't have any chemistry and Sonja as a character is dull as dishwater. Same goes for her ex-husband Thomas. With the upcoming departures of Pia, Bea and Flo, AWZ seems to be cleaning house again, so I hope that some more characters get the axe. The only ones I would keep are Richard, Simone, Jenny, Veit, Vanessa, Christoph, Marie, Tobi and Isabelle. Even though they are long-running characters, Ben, Lena, Marian, Deniz and Ingo need to go to make room for some fresh faces. Sonja, Thomas and their son Leo should be killed off immediately, and Iva... I just don't have any words for this stupid b*tch. Has any of Deniz's pairings post-Roman worked? Agreed, they should write him out

I'm happy to see CBS finally making a Star Trek show, but I'm disappointed it's going to be for their streaming service. I get they want CBS All Access to be more like Netflix, but Star Trek should be on CBS proper or the CW at least.

That's exciting to see a new soap opera launch. Strange they'd try to launch it in a timeslot that has other soap competition

That's cool Jo's character is still around. Sad to see he's stuck in a boring story. I saw a picture of Jo and Igor together, IF ONLY.

I like the Nate and Aaron story, but so far I don't see any chemistry between the actors.

Not dead yet. Degrassi to live on Netflix: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/09/degrassi-next-class-netflix

Yeah, Supergirl won't move to CW if it's canceled, unless WB is willing to cut the budget big time. Being on CBS, it's not going to be able to fly with ratings the ratings Gotham and SHIELD deliver, it's going to have to be more. I'd guess it's going to have to at least do about what Scorpion does (maybe a bit less since it airs an hour earlier).
