I love this pic of Violet Carson (Ena Sharples). 

It's a sad day indeed. BUT couldn't Tony Warren's death signal the beginning of the end for Antony Cotton as Sean?

I think Antony Cotton socialized with Tony Warren from time to time. I've seen a few photos of them standing next to each other at various functions. Sean was the CS character who most closely resembled Warren in a superficial sense, wasn't he? So it makes sense that they were friends.

I was shouted down at DS for daring to suggest that Cotton's job might be in jeopardy down the road following Warren's demise. Oh, please. I made a point of how sad it was that Warren has passed but perhaps a silver lining  in this cloud could be that Sean might finally be sent packing.

 

ETA Is it becoming obvious now that Pat Phelan will be found with one of Charlie's chisels sticking out of his back? I think he'll end up seriously damaging Jason's business so Jason and Eileen can be added to the list of suspects which includes Anna, Michael and Gary. I hope Michael is revealed to be the killer and we won't have to endure Les Dennis anymore.

And...uhhh...is it possible that Rama's not who she seems to be? Why is she insinuating herself into that family and why is she focussing on Zeedan? Is it at all possible that she's radicalized and is out to recruit him? I know that seems a tad far fetched but still...

Watched Monday's double as I'm always a sucker for Todd and Sarah (I wouldn't even be that bothered if they ever "turn" him back into a relationship with her). The writing was very skimming-Wikipedia, but they made it work, especially Bruno Langley. I'm so glad the show remembered Billy and how his death has haunted them both. That's the Corrie I love. 

 

The rest was the Corrie I try to avoid - shocking caricature (Mary, Sean, Tracy too but at least she made me laugh), entitled nastiness (Anna trying to throw Todd out of a diner that is not hers; Fiz and Sean spouting off at length to their bosses), and unpleasant drudgery (nasty Anna and nasty Eileen at dinner with blubber man and hapless Kevin; Tyrone and Fiz money woes). 

 

Kylie and the old man and Aiden and Eva and the plot device immigrant were like Shakespeare in comparison.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • 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. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
