I really like how you've started setting up what I assume will be a battle between Cleypoole and Martin/Barclay over the plans for downtown. I think it's an intriguing storyline that should really cause some big drama for a lot of the residents of Somerset. Everything is being set up very well. Just enough information is given to keep you intrigued.

I really enjoyed the premier. I thought it established Susannah and Jack fairly well as well as tying the past and present together. I've enjoyed the general feel of the series that I've gotten from reading the other stuff that you've posted. While you bill your "Somerset" as a loose revival, from what you posted it sounds like you've truly captured the spirit of the original series, which is more important than original characters. I think that it is okay if you sacrifice the established characters if your staying true to the general vision of the series, but that's just my two cents

Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next episode.

Five days in a row of a woman over forty-five. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. What were you thinking?

Interesting, Meg Dale Harper Aleata Crawford Marriott was murdered. Looking at her ex-husbands alone that's four suspects, but then again I think Charlie Harper died on the show didn't he?

I liked the issue with funding, just as it had been a problem on the tale end of the original series. I'm curious to find out what Alex Marriott did that upset step-grandmother Meg so much. I was shocked that Alex was Lynn and Andy's son and that Allison was Amy and Andy's. People surely have been busy since the show ended. Even Andrew Marriott has managed to snare two wives since the show ended. lol

I'm loving Joy and Chaz. I like the idea of the fun loving party girl and the rebel. They seem like a fun couple. If Joy's mother and step-father are who I think they are, I have a feeling that is going to have some fun and nasty reprocussions for Ben and Betsy.

I like the way that people are getting cut off before revealing their secrets. I get so mad because I want them to spill, but I figure a lot of them are worth the wait. I thought the way the stuff at the funeral with Eddie and Chaz played out really well and very naturally, or at least as naturally as they would occur in a soap.
