I am loving this Cindy right now. It's like she's seducing Jason for all of us, and I'm incredibly thankful.

On the other hand, Ste and Sinead are the most disgusting thing imaginable. Like Scott said, "I feel violated."

Bringing in Ben was a great move to keep Sienna viable. I am loving her again, where for a good while she just felt tired.

So, Daniella Westbrook's HO return was scrapped for "breach of contract," and then apparently she went on This Morning and gave an interview so full of claims and accusations about her ex that it could only be aired once.

I think we've probably seen the last of her...it's a shame she has messed her life up so much, as I did like her as Sam Mitchell.

It really is a shame. I thought her last EE stint was fantastic for her and her character. Of course, it was the first time I have ever experienced her, but I thought it was cool that she wanted Ricky and couldn't care less about Jack. Is it wrong that I like to fanwank that they have reunited now? Before Bianca, what was the writing like for them as a couple?

I still remember Heather practically begging her to leave Minty alone and you could see she wasn't trying to be mean, but at the same time was honest with Heather about her intentions. It showed she had a heart and self-awareness, but it didn't stop her from being selfish. Plus, that story was the first true build-up to my girl Ronnie going off the rails.

Anyway, Kirkwood seemed to truly adore her as well, hence her HO role. I was wondering what he would have done with her this time around, too. The only people that really interacted with her before were Trevor, Jacqui and Theresa.

I think a lot of the tension between them pre-Bianca involved her modeling career. I remember an odd sequence where Sophie Aldred (!) and some guy met her at a party and tried to get her to have a threeway with them.

I do wish she could turn herself around while she has a chance.

I interviewed Danniella up at Elstree on the same day she'd been fired from EE back in 1996. She was charming and funny and looked like a battered rag doll. I remember her launching into an amusing rant over Gwyneth Paltrow, asking why the f*ck she had become a movie star. She asked if I'd been given a tour of the set. At that point I hadn't yet. She said "Well, I'm fired so I could give a toss and I'm going to give you a tour." And she did, a very quick one before the huge set lights were turned off for the night. And it was a pretty magical experience.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).

      Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means.

      Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?

      For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed.
