Scott Maslen is leaving Eastenders. He will have a big exit (of course that's what they always say).

I had a good laugh at some of the comments at DS about how wonderful he used to be, and oh aren't we sad when any Santer character leaves. It was Santer who made him a manwhore and seemed to have zero idea what Maslen could actually play. The only popularity this character had was with Ronnie obsessives, and for sexiest male awards. Worthless.

Oh good. Jack was so boring. I never minded his interest in Sharon, but man, he pretty much added nothing to the show. Shame. What a waste. Not that I thought he was spectacular but I doubt he was horrible. I just don't think they had any interest in him. He just felt like he was "floundering" the entire time I was watching, up until the Jack/Phil/Sharon ... whatever it is.

Probably b/c he's been doing a hell of a lot of theatre work since leaving EE. He always seems to be promoting this play or that play in the West End. So, he's never really had the time for big TV roles.

If you would go to YT, Carl, then I class that as watching in some capacity.

He was on Hotel Babylon in its death throes.

I read that Sharon and Ian apparently don't even acknowledge each other. What's with that? Why did they bring Sharon back?

Speaking of death throes, I ended up watching some of the episode where Pat and Yolande fought in the Vic, as Kevin Wicks was about to leave. He got involved with the fight, then his daughter arrived, etc. It's difficult to think of other actors who were so jarringly terrible and wrong in every line the way that Phil Daniels was.

Sharon and Ian have talked many times since she returned to the show (well mostly in her first few weeks) people may be talking about the other day when Ian went to the Vic for his birthday with his kids and Dot. Sharon should of likely been with them.

Ian and Sharon were very close once again when she first returned. Sharon even helped Lucy and Ian pretty much come back together. It did seem to taper off I guess. Ian's like an afterthought it seems. Shame.

And back to Jack ... he is likeable but I guess I can easily do without him, too. Not a big loss in that sense but in terms of losing a nice, likeable guy, yeah, it is kind of a shame.

    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went).  Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
    • So Cat wasn't a creation of Ron C.. but something that the strike writers generated? Perhaps the new writers will give her some layers and purpose on the show that doesn't revolve around Chad since isn't he on his way out next year?
    • Another good show today, but -- Why is super agent Joss holding that thumb drive in plain sight instead of stashing it in her denim shorts? Make it make sense. -- Dante going after Gio (in the previews) for Rocco's alcohol poisoning is lame and cliche, just a contrived way to drive a wedge between father and son.
    • Didn't he get all angry because the strike writers set her up to be Abigail? And he just went with the first thing that came to mind in order to prevent that?

    • That was an incredible interview.  I cannot imagine it ever happening with a performer currently on a soap.  I remember being extremely disappointed in Michael Malone.  I wish we had all of the backstage scoop on where things went wrong with him.
    • Go 'head, Brandon!! I was worried about this meltdown, but he's giving a pretty good meltdown. Knowing when to do it and just the right moment to pull back a bit.    These Kat vs Eva scenes. The best soap rivalry has the rivals have some empathy for the others though they dislike each other. And they are giving.    Yay! A brief SilkPress vs Dani moment.
