Is there something I'm missing about Denise Alexander? Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't understand why she was so popular at her height on both GH and DAYS. I don't think she's that great of an actress or pretty to look at...

They've cast Derek's daughter: http://www.digitalsp...hter-alice.html She looks a bit like Martine McCutcheon. She probably would've made a good Courtney Mitchell, looks-wise at least. I was hoping they'd get rid of Derek altogether, Jamie Foreman is atrocious.

I think Patsy's always been full of crap and has never really been loyal to the show. She's always made it clear she sees it as her meal ticket. She only came back in December, after having a year off, and 5 months later, she's already taking 6 months off. I don't mind it with Charlie or Lindsey, as they've never slanted the show while they were off of it like Patsy did (though Lindsey did say at one point she never saw herself playing Carol again) in the past. They're also not prone to taking back to back breaks.

Oh, the episode where Mandy looses poor Rolly and he ends up dead. Sharon blames Grant for it all though... The Greek-looking girl that played Janine is in this episode too. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BQ5MO4AbmwY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/683OFPUiSkc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The follow-up episode ends with the Jazzy version of Julia's Theme in scenes between Ian and Cindy: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8m0K_xCnthM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NaOpgzoVndA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I'll always have a soft spot for Nigel. He was one of those loser-type characters down on his luck constantly, but there was a genuine niceness about him that wasn't forced.

That offer with the tour tickets really helped first week sales, it's on her for not promoting the album at all though. A lot of people didn't even know she had a new album out, as she did no mainstream interviews or press for it. I think she just focuses on touring above all else in her career at this point, but I guess that's where the money is in this dying music business.

I think it just depends on what types of characters and stories you're looking for. EastEnders, at times, has an amazing ability to reinvent itself through many different eras.

Patsy and Lindsey are taking a 6 month break off the show. I can maybe understand Lindsey, though she hasn't done much since January, but Patsy just came back from a year off. Not that Patsy's ever been loyal to the show anyway... It's probably for the better, as Bianca has been an annoying runt since she got out of prison. Janine is the only character whose extended break will seriously impact the show, as she's become such a vital character. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/tv-film-news/eastenders-patsy-palmer-aka-bianca-786483

Hung Up was a massive hit and #1 globally, and has some type of record for hitting #1 in most global markets. But that type of music wasn't in at US radio at the time, and Madonna was over 45 (and ageism does exist on American radio), so it was never going to be a massive US hit.

The fact that she had those couple of top 10 hits on the Hot 100 during the 2000's is actually impressive though. No one else from her generation or age group was even making the top 20 at that point. She's held up well for an artist whose first album was released in 1983. Thanks in part to her her advanced age, she can pretty much know that her career has as a singles artist has met a natural end. She'll never really be able to compete with those half her age or get substantial radio airplay again. But of course, worldwide, for the most part, her singles can still be top 10 or #1 hits. I guess that's just a different ballgame though. She's squarely an albums artist and a touring artist at this point in her career.

Kristina looks stoned. Aretha looks like a drag queen, not to mention, she's annoying as hell there.

The Revealed episodes tend to be narrated by random people, usually former stars of the show. There's never been a standard host. The Heather one was narrated by Josie Long, who has no connection to the show, but is a comedian.

I don't mind the Mitchell's during their first 5 years or so on the show. Phil and Grant were actually quite goofy and light-hearted characters in the beginning (which is apparent in the episode I just posted). But by the late 90's, they were getting tired and really started to dominate the show.

I think this episode is from 1990 is from Grant and Phil's second week on the show: And damn, Michelle Collins always looked so much older than Adam Woodyatt, and Peter Dean was always a terrible actor. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pU8BTpTuyQA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8yA9kWwTEh0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5vr1GKv2diI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I've never found Elizabeth Keifer particularly attractive... She eventually grew into the role, but Sherry Springfield was always my Blake.

A new picture of Maureen Garrett was uploaded to her IMDB profile in January, I wonder if she's looking for work again. She does look great for her age. http://www.imdb.com/...85472/nm0308171

A mere three weeks after Give Me All Your Luvin' hit #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart, Girl Gone Wild has hit #1. This is of course her record-extended 42nd #1 song on that chart. http://www.djricomix...d.php?tid=16360 Hot Dance Club Play Issue date:04/21/2012 Download Options: Text| Excel TW LW Title Artist Label/Dist Label *G1 *G4 Greatest Gainer Girl Gone Wild Madonna Live Nation / Interscope 2 *2 Naked Dev & Enrique Iglesias Indie-Pop / Universal Republic 3 *3 Respect Melanie Amaro SYCO / Epic *4 *5 Never Forget Dave Aude Featuring Lena Katina Audacious *5 *6 Wild One Two Jack Back Featuring David Guetta, Nicky Romero & Sia Big Beat / Atlantic *6 *9 Part Of Me Katy Perry Capitol 7 *1 Love On Top Beyonce Parkwood / Columbia 8 7 Domino Jessie J Lava / Universal Republic *9 *15 Starships Nicki Minaj Young Money/Cash Money / Universal Republic 10 8 Give Me All Your Luvin' Madonna Featuring Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.

I wish I could tell what the Benassi twins were saying.... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/08LHkDOKFuk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I wonder if Sharon comes back for Ian's 100th wedding. Though, I'm sure she'd be shocked Ian's marrying the woman who killed Roly (even if she blamed Grant more for that than Mandy)!

Well, that was fast. Mandy is being written out. I guess this is the start of cleansing the show of Kirkwood's influence. Though, I'll miss Mandy. I think they just started using her to her full potential. However, the on/off stuff with Ian was bound to get tired fast. http://www.thesun.co...edding-day.html
