I Am A Swede

If a show needed an Urkel to save it, then it wasn't worth saving.....

Wouldn't that have been lovely?! There have been very few characters, if any, more annoying than Steve Urkel!

So, another Emmerdale character (Dan Spencer) gets sent away for a long prison term, following in the footsteps of Nick Bates, Steve Marchant, Robert Sugden, Meena Jutla etc. Yet we can't seem to get anything else than short-term prison stays for any of the Dingles....and even when they do go to prison they keep appearing.

What's ridiculous about it? Hope has obviously moved on and harbours no ill will towards Liam, and a birthday party for your daughter is supposedly a happy occasion so it's only natural that she would smile.

Or perhaps she's acting like an adult at her daughter's birthday party?!

Oh my, what a terrible trauma that must have been for them.... I don't mean to be rude or flippant, but that seems like a very childish thing to complain about. If they happened to see such a thing for a moment far to the right on the page then it's really not that difficult to look somewhere else, is it? Or did it physically hurt them? Did they have to seek medical attention? I really think people are getting too sensitive these days.

I would imagine that the extra security is situated at the property boundaries, so by the time you reach the front door you've been cleared.

That's sad. I really liked his talkshow. With William Friedkin just recently, now Michael Parkinson, and also this that's three celebrities born 1935 who have died in less than 10 days.

This video (by one of my favourite Youtube channels) also talks about this movie and I can't say it made me interested in watching it back then.

You can't help but wonder how Liam would have reacted to all this Finn/Sheila business if his marriage to Hope had been solid.... It would actually have made for a better story if Liam and Hope were still together when all this happened. Liam could still be fearful for his daughter's (and Steffy's) safety and his saviour complex kick in. That would give more credibility to Hope's turn towards Thomas.

It's different because both Krista and Thorsten are so different from Hunter and Ronn in the way they play their characters. I know Thorsten has played Ridge for a long time now, but I'm still not won over by his portrayal of Ridge. In comparison I adjusted very easily to Winsor Harmon's Thorne when he took over from Jeff Trachta.

Why anyone would want either Tridge or Bridge now is beyond me. And why either of these two women still want Ridge is one of the great mysteries of life. He has treated them both appallingly over the years, but they still come back for more.

Wow, Y&R gained two whole ratings points from one week to the next!
