Thank God. Joey was ruined when they paired him with drunken ass Lauren I'm that disgusting romance. After that, he plummeted. Plus, his constant obsession with Alice and him walking around the square like a brute didn't help either.

Now if they'll just get rid of Masood and Tamwar--heck Kat and Alfie too then all will be well.

The 'Top Two' of Treadwell-Collins and Davis being part of the team in 2003-2005 that turned Family Affairs around and made it more watchable. Life is funny sometimes.

At the time, Davis was Series Producer to Paul Marquess EP and DTC was Series Story Editor to Ian Aldwinckle Story Producer. (The latter may not be accurate).

Just tuned back in, first time in awhile. Loved Michael/Alice/Janine's showdown, though it's a shame we're losing Michael (I'm probably just saying that because that's a fine-looking man ;)). Reaaaally enjoyed those episodes. As for the new team, do we know when their episodes will first air?

Ricky Norwood has re-signed with the show.

http://entertainment.stv.tv/showbiz/330763-ricky-norwood-extends-eastenders-contract/

I had a good laugh at some of the meltdowns over this on DS. Is this seriously the biggest problem with EE at the moment? I don't care about Fatboy, but Norwood is a charismatic and not all that horrible actor. I saw a post that said something like, "What does it say when they ignored ALL of our axe lists?" Well, it says you aren't in charge of the show. If the show dumped Kim, Tamwar, and Fatboy, at a time when they've already fired a number of minorities and have lost almost any sense of diversity they ever had, that would look terrible.

And I have no idea how these characters are more pointless than the likes of Roxy Mitchell.

    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
