Josh was "bad" as he was known for coming between Morgan and Kelly. He also had sex with one of Carrie's alternate personalities.

I was reading more information about background players today on the SAG/AFTRA site. http://www.sagaftra.org/background-extra-performers How does a background performer qualify for an upgrade to principal performer? There are several ways to qualify for an upgrade to principal performer. Here are the most common: A performer is directed to speak a line (other than omnies); or A performer is performing an identifiable stunt; or A performer is in the (1) foreground, (2) identifiable, and (3) demonstrating or illustrating a product or service or illustrating or reacting to the on/off camera narration or commercial message. (The performer must meet all 3 criteria simultaneously in the spot to qualify for a principal upgrade.) --I think some of our background people on The Doctors who don't speak fall into this, they are shown, we can identify them by name...and they are reacting like if Carolee passes them something or the phone rings and they pick it up on screen even if they don't say anything we can hear. So basically it looks like the silent people on "The Doctors" weren't truly extras/background, but were dayplayers, under-5 status at least with how things work today.

From what I understand you have to pay an actor more if their character has a name when they appear than if they do not when they are a dayplayer. (I have no idea if that was how it worked when "The Doctors" was in production.)

It is ridiculous if they block things and only allow Australian viewers to watch as people in the UK and US (via Hulu) actually can view the show legally in those areas. If there isn't a music issue or a spoiler we shouldn't be seeing yet, they shouldn't do that. They turned Neighbours vs. Zombies on worldwide.

I like that Kieron says that Ste has been treating John Paul horribly throughout the characters' relationship. There is some weirdness in the interview, but I wonder were they sober?

Harlem lust, right. It just has an added saxophone.

Considering Patrick is an abuser, I don't want JP with him. What about the new teacher Mr. Loveday, that could work

What that's annoying, thanks I guess. Better to be forewarned then being shocked and annoying. Hope it was the performer's choice to live and not solely the show's decision.

On Linda Dano's Facebook page there is a video of her and Stephen Schnetzer when they ran into each other in NYC earlier this week.

Nick makes me feel sorry for Brad being his brother-in-law...

This wouldn't work for a 12-part miniseries. For something that long the cast should be about a dozen people in major roles. If you'd just do the part with Zach and James, and Spaulding-Lewis that would be enough story. It felt like fan service that if anyone was omitted that people would be upset, so nearly every character that was on the show in the last few months (or their kids) was mentioned.

Ed moved into the house on the hill, by the Spauldings and the Lakeland Country Club, while married to Rita. Before that, he lived in much less posh surroundings. Bert only moved into the house years later when she was in the wheelchair, so it wasn't ever really Bert's home...

Thank you for posting that reply video, I read about Eddie Redmayne praising Karl & Susan (as Karl and Susan not Alan and Jackie), so it was great to see this. Maybe Bossy gets a love interest for the 30th anniversary!

It is an issue with the RTV channel the uploader has. I didn't have a problem with RTV cutting off the closing credits of episodes of The Doctors.

I appreciate Eddie Redmayne for saying what he did though I wish he used their real names.

Ste's Dad Danny is dead so he is a non-factor.

Marcia Cross as Emily Norris perhaps, Ken and Janet's daughter who grew up away from Springfield...

Did RTV show two episodes on Friday? I got the same one twice.

Tony and Danny were cousins. The episodes should be around 40-42 minutes from that time frame including credits...

I read years later in one of the magazines that Lenore Kasdorf had health problems, which made Rita's return with her in the role not feasible. (We may have discussed this on the board, but I cannot recall.)

They could have taped things out of order as the wedding was a remote. So even if that isn't the last thing that aired with Vigard, it may have been the last material she acted.

Thank you for sharing the note from Carolee. Her character is one of my favorites watching this show I never watched during its run. When I read the history of her acting training at least now I sort of understand why I see what I do within her performances.

Peri, and that's a good thing since Lochlan is her Uncle and her name isn't Sienna. I can't stand Diane, though I loved how she reacted to Tony and Sinead's relationship. I do wonder since the marriage wasn't consummated if Tony won't lose half of everything. (No idea how it works in the UK.)

Constantine is ending after 13 episodes, and it is unlikely that NBC will make more for next television season. I doubt those fans of the Hollyoaks story will be happy for long.

I'm glad that Nancy and Darren are broken up for good due to what went on before the wedding. That said I have no idea who they would put Darren or Nancy with in the future. I also hope that it was Jessica Fox's decision to leave if she does go, because she's been on the show for so many years. Of course, if Nancy does die, the Tom curse continues - poor kid.
