Thanks for posting all this. I really enjoyed the interview with Andrew Moss. I think their best moment was Rhys being revealed as Noel's biological son, but the anorexia story was also very powerful. I'm glad Rhys will get a love interest and possibly be happy. I wonder who it will be? He's already been with Mercedes (I liked them together a lot) so that probably isn't happening. Carmel? Jacqui? Are there any other women who aren't leaving? Nancy? Nancy/Rhys would be interesting.

I can't get excited about this Mitzeee stuff. I hate that name and saying Duncan will be involved is not a good way to start. The Costellos sound very contrived, I sure hope they will come across better onscreen.

Is it me or does this new character Doug look like several men mashed together? Nathan from Emmerdale, and a bit like Guy Burnet, and his hair looks like a Frosty. The girl looks like Lily Scott from American Idol.

The past two episodes were pretty good (except for the Cheryl stuff). What an emotional episode with the Ashworth's, and yeah, Andrew Moss was amazing. Why is he still with the show? He has the looks and talent to make it big. Kyle's scenes with Anita, then Theresa made today's ep.

Goddamn, I got so excited when Moss said he was moving in with Darren ... but why did he have to ruin my dream so quickly? :( As for his new love interest, my first thought was Nancy, though that could have been because I love her too. Just watch them get together and then be written out. :(

Pretty good episode with Calvin's funeral. Very happy they didn't try to deify him. He was scum. From that bizarre funeral photo where he looked half-drunk to having his own sister run through the church defaming him, that was a funeral to remember. Dominique Jackson did a good job. She's better when she doesn't have a lot of dialogue, when she can just show her emotions. This was a nice showcase for some of her better moments. And it was great soap, especially when she tried to rage at the coffin and it, along with Lauren, collapsed.

Smart choice to have the comedy elements, not the HA HA LAUGH NOW stuff, but more situational. I loved when Michaela and Myra had their mutual smirk, and when Myra reminded Mercedes that some of Carmel's eulogy had been used at Mercy's wedding...her FIRST wedding.

Michaela seems to have so little connection to most of the family now, or most of the characters. I keep forgetting she and Zak are even still on the show. She was such good light relief today...it's not going to be the same without her :(

I love when they actually use Myra. Having Myra tail Theresa and call the cops on Kyle, then unknowingly brings the whole force in. She basically ended up saving Theresa's bacon, without meaning to. Yet now Carmel knows the truth, in that quiet and beautifully acted moment where Theresa's guilty look at the DI's claims told Carmel all she needed to know.

The only downside was Duncan Pugsleying his way back to the show, but at least they finally found a shirt that fit him, so we're moving forward.

Don't forget about those tree trunk thighs and the muscular backside. The show's recent decision to put Ravi in tight trousers in every scene he has was the best Ravi-related decision they ever made.

I can't say I will miss him, he was never very interesting and they seemed to pretty much give up after the story that they pushed on him (which he, and probably a lot of other actors, would struggle to carry off), with the bisexuality and Kris/Nancy stuff flopped.

I guess this means Charlotte will be the only GLBT character left,

Is anyone else surprised that people still keep leaving? Every time I think that it's done, someone else goes. Is this like a combination of Marquess firing people and other people deciding to leave a sinking ship? I hope this isn't caused by some bad backstage atmosphere, as that already seems to have lost us Hollie Jay Bowes. I just don't want one of the real talents who are left to suddenly go.

I wonder what they will do with Relish -- Anita can't run it herself. I don't even know what they will do with Anita. Sheree Murphy is only around short term isn't she? Perhaps Anita can go with her.

    • 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? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
