The Cameron siblings are the worst. I hope that Full House reboot flops hard on this b!tch so so can be even more irrelevant than she already is.

It's hard for me to pinpoint exactly where they went wrong with Rita, but I think it was a slow build up over the years and things just got worse when she became Tina's biggest defender. I do love what the character was though.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

I also don't get how Dot and Jim have become romanticized over the years. Dot didn't marry Jim because she was in love with him, she married him because she was lonely and needed a companion. Dot has also never really fit in with the Branning's outside of Jim, Sonia, and I guess Bradley

I wish Michelle's exit was up, I've only ever saw it once. Surprisingly, she didn't get a Julia's Theme (nor did Sharon a few months prior). In those days, they used it very sparingly. The last scene is the only thing that's up at this point:

It's nice to know the special will focus on the show as a whole as opposed to the more recent years. The all really did grow up nicely. When I watched the first few seasons, I never thought Miriam McDonald, for example, would ever turn into something passable or pretty. I was surprised when she suddenly blossomed somewhere in season 5, the same is true for most of them.

I wonder if Carol's caner will come back and she'll die. Obviously, Bianca wouldn't come back though.

They have to be trolling us with this sh!t, right? https://www.facebook.com/eastenders/photos/a.171304504938.120340.169383494938/10153422160869939/?type=1&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22O%22%7D

I don't think this is the right choice for a comeback single, but it's not that bad and maybe she doesn't care. She's almost 50, so it's not likely she'll have a mainstream hit at this point. I was hoping for a faster dance track to remind us of what she used to do best. The boring ballads of her later years helped lead to her commercial downfall, IMO. The ballads on All For You, Damita, Jo, and 20YO were tortuous. I really hope this new album and tour is a return to form for her, I think this is her last chance for a real comeback.

They were great together this last time around, especially since French and Brooks never worked together in the past - they just clicked and the characters are very much two lost souls with a lot in common. Not now, but maybe in a few years, Janine needs to have a return similar to the one Sharon had in 2001 where she's revealed as the new owner of the Vic and evicts the Cartner's. Maybe she can return with a husband and a son, and of course an older Scarlett. I keep debating if I want Scarlett to be the total opposite of Janine and more of a heroine, or a rotten kid who is always causing trouble for Janine (sort of like payback for Janine for her own misdeeds). I really think Janine's extension is the future of the show. This is one if they have the writing behind them though...

Carol's past exits weren't particular happy exits, and I wouldn't be surprised if this one was the same. Or maybe they just won't care and will give her something rushed this time. I doubt we'll ever see her again to be honest. I think it was Patsy Palmer (who I hope never returns as Bianca was a disaster by the end and Patsy was never committed to the show at all) who helped convince her to come back this time around, and unless she really needs the money sometime in the future, I think this is it for Carol in Walford.

I'm glad she came back for as long as she did since she was adamant about never returning to the show when she left the last time in 1999. The fact she stayed on this long was a treat.

I'm already sort of over it before its really begun.

Yes, when I discovered the Time Life Coronation Street collection series, I was surprised Raquel had one dedicated to just her. Outside of Des and the McDonald's, most of the characters that had a collections were characters that had been on the show for a very long time or ones that were hugely iconic. There's a great bubbly innocence to the character that makes you want to root for her. She was naive at times, but it never really seemed that annoying. I also really liked her friendship with Bet, and how protective Bet was of her. The relationship with Curly was good for a time too.

I wonder if the audience took Raquel as their sweetheart immediately or if it took some time. She seemed like one of those characters that was embraced and loved from the beginning very strongly by the general audience. She's also probably Corrie's most successful female introduction of the 90's, if we're being honest here. Didn't Tanya seduce and run off with one of Bet's men after Bet fired her at The Rovers? Was that her exit storyline?

I don't know what reason she would have to come back without Grant. Walford is not her home, and her recent memories of it are from a decade ago when she was a kid. The Mitchell's are also a very fragmented and weak familial unit, and her ties to the ones on the show are very loose. She could very well show up, but I don't see it happening any time soon or the show knowing how to properly utilize the character.

I don't think we'll ever see Courtney without Grant. She barely knows Phil or any of the Mitchell's on the show. Though, I do wonder if she would know her uncle Phil is married to the love of her father's life...

To be honest, none of their other shows ever grabbed me the same way Degrassi did.Maybe because I was never in the right demo, but still... Radio Free Roscoe was boring as f.uck, South Of Nowhere also looked boring, and Instant Star was an abomination.

Isn't Degrassi like their last piece of original content, and their highest rated show? The network was so much better and more mature when it was called The N. Now it's just a wasteland for various Nickelodeon sitcoms that have long since gone off the air.
