I know they filmed these months ago but for episodes that are verging on summer I'm surprised at how suffocated and drab the show feels these days. You go from one dingy setting to another and one depressed person to another. As stupid as this sounds I could barely even get through tonight's episode, it was just so damn drab and so many of the characters looked like they were about to go on a rampage. Some of those closeups of Hayley were scary, the look in her eyes. I was just weirded out for almost every scene.

Nick looks so emaciated. I know you have to choose between your body and your face as you age but it's getting to be like Thinner.

I wish they would just put Graeme in a different outfit, even if they are trying to hide a weight gain for Craig Gazey (?).

Was anyone else hoping the constant leaking in the factory would electrocute Sean?

Izzy reminds me so much of someone. I'm not sure who. Amy Irving, perhaps.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jason and Carla get together. He was already with her lookalike 4-5 years ago.

This stuff with the binman is dumb. I also don't know why he'd keep these tickets secret from Carla.

Thanks for posting.

Uh...it looks strange, no? They should just left the people out. It's almost like they're trying to say "See, this street isn't depressing at all! Look at all of the action, all of the business! It's just like Albert Square!" But it's not. At least the title screen looks nice.

I don't love the Vaseline lens stuff. The initial part of the theme is a bit too muffled, more like a "Best of" video than a theme.

After that somewhat shabby shot of the CGI pigeons, the opening gets much better. The title card is stunning and represents what the show should be.

I guess they don't have the cat anymore? :(

The cat's there! It just looks like the poor thing is about to fall to its death because it's going from a higher part of a roof to a lower part, but the lower part really isn't in the frame.

What's going on with the scheduling this week and next? I've pieced together what I've read, and it looks like this:

Monday, May 24 - One episode.

Wednesday, May 26 - One episode.

Thursday, May 27 - One episode.

Friday, May 28 - Two episodes.

Monday, May 31 - Two episodes

Tuesday, June 1 - One episode.

Wednesday, June 2 - One episode.

Thursday, June 3 - One episode.

Friday, June 4 - One episode.

Is that right? Or are they still sneaking Sunday episodes in there?

I know I am being mean but for someone who was cast as a "hunk," I am not sure I can remember more guys being less attractive than Ben Price. I just cannot stand looking at his face.

Not that I have a lot of pity for the Platts (although this story has done David a service), but Tina's continued blind spot about her father does her few favors. Neither do the heavy undertones that Jason just doesn't get her while Graeme does. Yes, the guy who treats her like a broken china doll is her salvation. :rolleyes:

The best scene was Eileen and Lloyd arguing and hitting each other with rolled up newspaper.

      Yes. That's called good writing.

      interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character's traits for future plot developments.

      I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.

      No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.

      I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.

      You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.

      Well good for you. But that's what makes us people. We like and dislike different things.
