I Am A Swede

Jake MacLaine on B&B. Sure, he hasn't exactly been front and center (), but the mere fact that he showed up at all after something like twenty years was quite a jaw-dropping moment.

I wonder if the Chinese really think that anyone will believe this?!

If the only alternative to the constant misery and death that Emmerdale provides these days is "boring", then I would take "boring" in a second.

^^ That would be great if Brenda Lee ended up at #1 !

I definitely prefer the Czech entry over the Bulgarian, but I'm not crazy about either of them.

Yeah, nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like a burned corpse.... right?! I wish I could say that I care who the unfortunate one is, but I really don't. I'm gonna take a guess though that it's not Manpreet. That would be too obvious and I'm sure there's a twist somewhere.....

I'm sure the Dingles have been/still are popular. Otherwise they wouldn't have lasted as long as they have or dominated the show as much as they have done over the years. But I have never liked that family. Quite the opposite in fact. I have hated them since they first appeared on the show way back in 1994, and I wouldn't shed a single tear if they were all written out tomorrow. I would dance with joy.

Fixed I didn't know people like that existed!!
