Speaking of vaccines, on Tuesday I actually became part of the Phase 3 trials here in the UK for the Janssen vaccine. Officially I don’t know whether I received the vaccine or a placebo, but judging from the way my body reacted within 24 hours of the jab, I suspect I got the real deal. The whole study is meant to last up to 2 years and 3 months.

It’s official...

This is really cool. I’ve come to enjoy this Twitter account. Three major characters debuted on this day back in 1982...

I work in the UK Civil Service over here and we are under so much pressure from all sides due to Brexit and the pandemic. In fact, the government department that I work for is buckling under the strain so badly that it’s going to take years to fully recover from the damage that’s been caused.

I was today years old when I learned that these two were *married* at one point! 😳

Oh I’d say the UK has come pretty close. Our government here has been reactive the whole time, and usually does not take the appropriate emergency measures until it’s too late. Add the Brexit chaos on top of that, and you can visualise the complete s**tshow we’re in right now.

I’ve said this before on these forums... but definitely bring Alex Donnelly’s Diane back (I’m sure they can retcon her death somehow). She has chemistry and history with both Jack and Victor, bitchy rivalries with both Nikki and Phyllis, and it would more importantly give Kyle an actual meaty storyline!

Funnily enough, Eileen Davidson resumed playing Ashley at the tail end of that triangle. In fact, there used to be a juicy scene from 2000 floating around on YouTube where ED’s Ashley confronts Heather Tom’s Victoria at the GCAC, culminating in an almighty slap from the former.

This brought a smile to my face...

Hey all. I recall a few years ago there was a scene after AJ’s shooting, and Sonny had a scene with the Three Carlys in the chapel (SB, TB, LW). Is my mind playing tricks, or was there *another* scene where they did the same thing, only this time they had all four Carlys (including JB)?

He and Daniel Dale are both frickin heroes for having to endure that crap day in and day out. They both deserve Presidential Medals of Freedom, to be fair!

39 years ago today, Demi Moore debuted as Jackie Templeton. Incidentally her first scene was with Genie Francis! And I can see now why they cast Kim Delaney as today’s Jackie. She could definitely pass for an older believable version!

For those not aware, GaysOverCovid is an Instagram account that has been exposing so-called “circuit gays” who have been deliberately flouting mask and social distancing rules during the pandemic...

*Twenty* years ago today...

OMG that’s what happened in that episode? What was the backstory behind that? Why was she stealing money in the first place??

Still a spinout for me seeing Alec Baldwin and Kim Zimmer together in a daytime soap storyline! I’m obviously relatively new to the Doctors because this is the first time I’ve ever seen Kathleen Turner in action as Nola. In the short scenes she had in that episode, I can tell she had the same energy about her as Kim Zimmer did when she took over the role, which I imagine would have made the transition appear rather seamless (but any long time viewers are more than happy to correct me on that).

This is heartbreaking... CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski and his wife lost their baby daughter to cancer last night 😢

I believe it has been stated previously (most likely by Meg Bennett herself) that she was not allowed to write for her own character, much in the same way that Randy Holland was forbidden from writing for his character Rick Daros while he was on the show.
