He doesn't seem gay to me. The seeds are ready seem in place for him and Stacey to screw soon enough.

@DRW50, yes, there are still good moments but the show does seem hollow (as you stated). I just seems to be floating by the seat of its pants with nothing really going on.

Tamwar's been around for nearly a decade and always added to the show - I think he deserved it. True but even then the exit was more about Masood--well Mick than it was Nancy and Tamwar. You know they were eager to give Mick a Julia's Theme moment w/o him actually leaving the canvas.

Besides David's cancer story and Ashley's dementia, I can see my time watching ED decreasing. I don't care for Belle boinking some doctor, the Whites and their woes, Charity/Ross scheme of the week, or even Robron at the moment. I feel like 2016 is gonna on a dull note. I did enjoy the Carly/Finn/Tracy scenes tonight along with all of David's scenes. Other than that, meh.

Question--Are they now giving Julia's Theme to everyone that makes an exit on this show? I thought the song was only played for extremely special occasions. Sorry, but I don't find Tam and Nancy leaving being one of them. Ugh! Denise, why did you listen to Sharon? She should've left the photo of that thieving twat in the shop window. Of course, they'd have Louise get one over on Denise, which pisses me off. I hate the character of Louise and already wish a bullet was in her ass and she hasn't been on the show a year yet. Again, I hate how Jay is surrounded by nothing but jailbait. I'm actually glad to hear that there are rumblings of him and Abi reuniting. I never cared for the pairing before but dammit, I am all for it now if it means getting him out of the orbit of these prepubescent tarts. Glad Masood came to his senses. Honestly, I don't know why he didn't before. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that your adult kids don't want to be traveling around the world with you and their significant other. Dear God. Stacey hasn't even recovered from the affair with Kush and they already have her eyeing another man on Square. Is this all the material they can give Stacey? Whoring herself out one second and being crazy the next? If so, Lacey Turner needs to leave again. Being actor, it has to be frustrating to get the same damn material time and time again.

Dear God they've reduced Masood to a clingy loser. I cringed at the scene where he bought the tickets for him, Tamwar, and Nancy after he gave Tamwar the green light to go with Nancy to Italy while he took a private vacation to Thailand. I'm over Carmel. She's becoming a mopey sap like Kush. I hate how Denise had to but in to rectify her and Mason's issues, which are stupid by the way. Sharon moping about because she's officially no longer part of the Mitchell clan is even more pathetic. Can they please put this woman back in charge of The Vic and call it a day? I'm grossed out with how they have Louise preying after Jay. Bad enough, he was tricked by Linzi. I just don't see this ending well for Jay.

But didn't the show resort back to it's college element in the early 90s with Coop, Steffi, Ally, etc? Or was it just touched on? Reading up on this show, I think it had potential to be a great show.

This site has thorough history of Alex Masters' history on LOVING that I stumbled upon last night. Quite interesting: http://www.stybz.com/monszter/RM/lov87.htm

Yep. There was tons of Zainab bashing along with Tamwar basically declaring her a poor parent. Yesterday practically decimated any remnants left of the foundation that was Masood clan. I hate too how they had Jane and Masood exchange wistful looks while the topic of Zainab came about.

Looks like you were right, @DRW50: http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/news/a791155/goodbye-paul-coker-eastenders-star-jonny-labey-is-leaving-the-show/

That isn't the first time Andy's done so. He always subtly suggested he's a top. The first time he originally did so was on Wendy Williams a few years back when he said he preferred to be on the outside of the spoon.

Yes, the Ro/Mike scenes were painful. I was just glad that they didn't even attempt to go there anymore.

I don't think there has been a cast that hated each other so much by the end. I think it's a clear divide. Charrisse/Katie v. Robyn/Gizelle/Karen. I think Ashley is trapped in the middle and will be forced to pick a side soon enough....

I don't think she'll be the only one storming off. I can see Gamble and Lydia storming off at points of the reunion too. This reunion is gonna be a mess.

Well, we know that she gossiped about at least two HWs -- clearly, she boasted that Gina's man, Dean, couldn't stop hitting on her. I, too, think that it was something malicious about Bruce and Chyka. That's so funny that you thought Bruce was gay! I think he is 100% straight Aussie metrosexual. Or let me rephrase that -- he is 100% Chyka-sexual, lol. I really believe in their love story, and think he is one of the best hubbies in all the RH franchises. Lydia's hubby though -- yeah, it crossed my mind. Definitely. ETA: Janet implied that Lydia said she had lots of affairs, too. Damn, Lydia is such a Lydiot. Well then it's a misread on my part. I do think that he genuine loves Chyka but something about him just makes me go.... Again, I am taking your word. Again, Lydia can't talk b/c she's bearding and it's obvious. Plus, I do believe that she gets around. I think she's projecting what she does on Janet. I know this reunion is gonna be a mess. The dynamics of this group are ever changing.

Honestly, IDK why Mona brought on many of the characters she brought on. We don't need Tammy back as she didn't work the first time she was on. She was dud then and is now. We don't need D. Smith b/c it's obvious Mona did this bull for shock factor and attention. Mona needs to steer from social issues to focus on ratchet. She does a disservice to the transgender community. With D. Smith comes Betty Idol, who isn't needed either. Tommie and Tierra were good enough finds IMO. Plus, they should've brought Kaleena back.

ATWT was ranking #2 regularly in the ratings behind Y&R in 92. Even during the 93-94 year ATWT ranked in the top 5 of soaps. P&G stop caring after Marland passed away. The writers still had the outlines for the next year but the stories were so boring and stale….they didn't have Marland vibe to them. But I think it was even before that. Weren't NBC allegedly going to cancel AW in the early 90s? I doubt P&G cared as they didn't care when it came to SEARCH and EON.

@Cat, what do you think Lydia said? I've been hearing Lydia might've said something about Bruce, Chyka's husband, and that Chyka was his beard. If so, I find that totally hilarious as I've been thought (and said) that both women's husbands are fruiter than picnic baskets.

P&G stop caring for their shows since the 90s, so they never cared to change regimes. They wanted to kill their shows off. With CM, I never got the impression that Rosanna was being written as Dixie. However, I did not like them making Rosanna poor and having her work in some damn countryside co-op farm outside of Peapack or whatever. Alexander Cabot was f-cking loaded. Ain't no way Rosanna's entire fortune was squandered like that. Most people would at least have some money tossed aside. I just thought it was so stupid how they came to write Rosanna. Much like Meg and Emily, Rosanna only became obsessed about Paul and producing babies. I missed the days when she was a scheming minx that was out to make Carly or anyone miserable.

I don't remember hearing that but if it was said, that's gross. I wouldn't be surprised either. CG & JP threw out any ounce of history once placed by former writers.
