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.

    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set ablaze?). Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole now live in the tack house.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her?
