    Thank you, dannigold! :)

    If you find out anything about possible Breakfast appearances, let us know! :)

  2. I really, really like those two. But that doesn't mean their storylines don't suck badly. Because God knows they do.

    I'm just able to separate the two: great character and sucky story.

    They started great on this show, but Treadwell-Collins threw them into mud and some just don't like them anymore. Which is a shame.

  3. This is just juicy. And a mess.

    If I were Cameron, I'd summon Clegg immediately and replace Laws. Simple.

    Yup, Harris lost, he was all over the BBC during elections, though. As a commentator or something, if my information are correct.

  4. More fun from Britain! :lol: First Government-related scandal:

    <span style="font-size:19.5pt;">MPs' Expenses: Treasury chief David Laws, his secret lover and a £40,000 claim</span>

    <span style="font-size:13pt;">The Cabinet minister charged with rescuing the Government's finances has used taxpayers' money to pay more than £40,000 to his long-term partner, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.</span>

    <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">By Holly Watt and Robert Winnett

    David Laws, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, claimed up to £950 a month for eight years to rent rooms in two properties owned by his partner. The claims could be against parliamentary rules governing MPs' second home expenses. On Friday night, Mr Laws apologised and announced that he would "immediately" pay back tens of thousands of pounds claimed for rent and other housing costs between 2006 and 2009. He also referred himself to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.

    Mr Laws said: "I regret this situation deeply, accept that I should not have claimed my expenses in this way and apologise fully."

    His controversial claims were not uncovered by an official inquiry into MPs' expenses last year because Mr Laws did not admit that his landlord was also his long-standing lover.

    The disclosure is the first big setback for the Coalition. Mr Laws, a Liberal Democrat, has the task of implementing public-sector cuts worth more than £6  billion.

    He has already drawn up tough new rules limiting the pay and perks of hundreds of thousands of public sector workers. However, his hard-line approach could be undermined by the disclosure of his own controversial use of public money.

    The Daily Telegraph's Expenses Files show that between 2004 and 2007, Mr Laws claimed between £700 and £950 a month to sub-let a room in a flat in Kennington, south London. This flat was owned by the MP's partner who was also registered as living at the property. The partner sold the flat for a profit of £193,000 in 2007.

  5. I thought I read something from earlier this year which brought up the new set thing. I hope that's still happening, otherwise I would wonder if ITV are not sure about the show. They've already canceled so many of their long-running shows...

    I don't know, they got more than 6.6 million viewers in the week that ended on 16th May.

  6. Apparently, the Vanessa Gold character is Simon Ashdown's brainchild, so, I wonder if he'll see that much care is poured into her development. and Kirkwood did say he "loves" working with Ashdown.

    EastEnders is like instant coffee: you put the powder in the cup, pour hot water over it and you're done. Unless Kirkwood changes the way things are done and brings someone else instead of Dominic. Which won't happen until Yorke says it needs to happen.
