Thank you all for your optimism. I hope my boo is still alive. But deep down, I know he isn't. And I can't even be mad at Pete b/c my boo was a whore. But I blame the other whore in this situation, Debbie! That harlot lead my men down a destructive road. Much like she's done other men. That b-tch is a black widow! She drives all the fine ass men cray cray! Andy. Cameron. Ross. Pete. I'm sure I'm missing a few more too. That aside, I agree that this incident involving Chrissie makes big things happen for the Home Farm family. I'm glad that the curse continues involving the current occupants of Home Farm being cursed and destructive.

Poor Lisa. Seriously though, she was a little better before she left. More like her old self. I think they made the right decision in showing so much of Ruby, because as much as we may worry about the "bigger" characters, we know most of them will be safe. We went through the process of dying with Ruby, and unlike some actors on the show who are good at certain things but not at that type of drama, Alycia Eyo really managed to play all the beats, as did Laura Norton as Kerry, who was absolutely superb. I actually cried during these scenes - they moved me that much. It also made the whole thing feel more "real" to me than, say, when Dawn Woods died, and there was mostly a lot of weeping and wailing from various characters. Without those scenes, I would have still had a high opinion of the episode, thanks to the performances and the wonderful direction and decent scripting (Owen whatever the rest of his name is has really impressed me with this script and the two when Robert was holding Aaron at the lodge), but it would have felt more boilerplate to me. And I would have been more annoyed by the heavy, intrusive focus on Ross/Debbie/Pete, complete with a final scene that belonged to Ruby IMO. Agree about the stunts. I saw a sneering article in The Guardian (sneerfest central at that paper, sad to say) about how soaps were stunted out and since they were garbage anyway, they should just have stunts all the time. And I have seen more focus on the stunt, and the CGI not being great, than anything else. The show and ITV brought that on themselves by hyping it up, but it still sucks that the episodes after, like last night's, won't get as much attention. From what Kate Oates said in an interview, she felt the Spencers "ran their course." I take it that means Ali will be gone soon (we know Rachel will be). Dan mostly exists as a single character and a duo with Kerry, so I guess they'll stay. I do wonder why Ali wasn't there - not to be rude, but I wonder if they felt the actress wasn't up to the material. As for Val, Hidden Content Glad that The Guardian sees what I am talking about. And as for Val, I am glad that it went that route. But I AM not pleased with the fact that Ross was killed too! Damn them to hell!!!

Wow. That helicopter crash was stellar. Yeah, it was cliche about Debbie's recording being exposed during the wedding but at least it was good soapiness. Anthony Quinlan/Pete really blew me away with his reaction to finding out the truth, and you can see the venom and hatred in his eyes. I hope he takes Debbie's ho ass through the ringer for the remainder of their marriage. Any my poor Ross. They stay abusing my man. But thank God he survived that fall. I hope Cain's ass pays for what he's done to my bae. Chrissie is a hot ass mess, but I am glad that she f-cked up and caused this accident. Now Robert has something to dangle over her head in the foreseeable future. I just cannot believe that she didn't notice those gas tanks before setting the car on fire. Poor Ruby. Sad to see her go but she (like the rest of her family) was a waste of space. IMO, all the Spencers could've been offed in this sweeps and I would've been content. None of them do much for me. I kinda wish that Val would've been killed off by the plane crash too. Not that I hate her but I think it would've been dramatic and a cruel twist of fate for her to die via the crash rather than the expected, her HIV status. Overall, this was a stellar stunt episode. Better than anything on the US soaps produce. I do however, wish that UK soaps would tone it down when it comes to stunts because it's getting to the point where people expect the climax but don't give a f-ck about the resolution. Especially, when the resolution is not well thought out on many of these shows. *cough* Lucy's death on EE *cough* But I can't knock ED because despite the stunt, which again I LOVED, they still give me good ole' character driven stories.

*sighs* I miss saynotoursoap's YT channel. I wish it was still online.

Thanks, Carl! My bae is looking so fine in these interviews. Still a pity that he has to be paired with Debbie.

OMG. Thanks, Carl for posting this! I hope more episodes of this show pops up eventually.

Episodes of Sally's husband, David Thatcher being murdered and her lover, Catlin, being the primary suspect:

What did everyone think of Lola's exit the other day since the boards were down, thus preventing us from talking about it? I found her exit to be dry and pointless. Why have her fight with Billy and leave the Square only to resolve things before they left?

This episode features: The climax of Rachel's car chase The renowned Howard Rollins Jr as Ed Harding Aunt Liz and Julia (Shearer) meet with a movie producer named Milo RJ heads to the police station to give his statement on the arson attack Henrietta continues to give Bob grief over his affair with Quinn Rachel is conflicted about what to do about Mitch Rachel and Steve kiss

Mitch Blake's attempt to kidnap Matthew/Rachel car chase:

Beverly Penberthy/Pat Randolph's last episode:

Poor Russ. I felt so bad for him over the loss of Tracey. Since I've been watching episodes from 80/81, I've found the two to be a real cute couple. I didn't pity Jason, however. But Warren Burton seems to play the whiny, spineless, tragic villain well. At least he did on GL and AW. I loved how the news of Tracey's death spread around Bay City and we saw how everyone reacted over it. From Liz feeling guilt to Ada being reminded of her recent lost (Charlie). Just a good episode overall.

OMG. I hate how everyone is coming down on poor Robert. I could care less about the rest of them. I hope he bounces back!

Congrats to Kandi! But I am not ready for her and her constant, hormonal crying.

Poor Rachel. She wasn't in the slammer for a good few hours and the vultures, Cecile and Miranda, were swarming around her family. Ada broke my heart this episode. It had to be hard for her to watch Rachel be hauled off to prison. Constance Ford's performance broke my heart. It's subtle, heart-wrenching performances that deserves EMMYS. I don't know how she and Vicki Wyndham never landed one. But they are in a class of greats that were never rewarded one either. I did find myself becoming pissed with Mac. I can't wait until later episodes are uploaded so I can see Ada chew into Mac. You could see her wanting to burst at the seams and rip Mac a new one over his treatment towards Rachel. Susan Keith's Cecile is just endearing to me. I'm loving how she's slowly starting to cause rifts throughout Bay City and only a few are catching on. She's working hard to place her hooks into the Cory clan. I just wish we had a social climbing minx like that on soaps nowadays. Instead, they are brash and obvious from the start. Hilary on Y&R had potential like this but it was quickly squandered.

I've grown to somewhat appreciate TayShanna. Especially after the Brandi years; however, I want Camille back out of past housewives. I want the cast to be: Kyle Lisa Lipsa Eileen Camille 2-3 new housewives Yolanda (friend) Taylor (friend) Adrienne (friend) I'd even take Brandi in a lesser role.

I didn't know that Michael Tylo was on Another World at one point. But Aunt Liz is a hoot. I miss busybody, messy characters on soaps like her. Her intentions are good but the way she goes about trying to convince Pat that Phillip is not a good man is too much. I enjoy watching Cecile being in charge of Brava. I've enjoyed watching her try and bag Jamie subtly too. Susan Keith's Cecile has such a girly, childlike aura about her that is endearing. You'd never imagine that she was a minx. I guess that is what makes the transition of Cecile from Susan to Nancy a good thing. We saw her emerge from a sheep in wolf's clothing under Susan to a full-fledged sheep with Nancy in the role. And I am sorry but this Marianne looks a bit too old to be in the role. Wasn't she supposed to be in her early/mid 20s around this time? She looks like she is older than Pat. Maybe it's the lighting & frumpy clothes but she doesn't give off the impression that she is youthful.
