It was nice to see Adam treated as one of the main faces for the 30th, especially as his role in the 25th mostly amounted to watching a home video with Dot and getting berated by Phil. Ian should be a central character to Eastenders, yet for whatever reason he often is treated as just the opposite.

For anyone who didn't want to search though the EE Live Backstage clip, here is the trailer alone of upcoming scenes:

Tons of sh!t with the Carter's obviously, but I'm mostly interested in the other stuff - Peter/Lauren's goodbye, Sharon's bio family, Sharon trying to help Dot, and the Harry revisitation with Kat (as I hope this is a fully realized and character-driven story for her finally).

I'm guessing Kat refuses to initially participate in a case against Harry when one of his other victims pops up, and Linda finds out and tries to project her own insecurities about her own rape on to Kat, which causes the fight in the Vic.

That first one veers on the far side of parody (although Mark beating Nick's ass is pretty much perfect television)

Whatever happened with Pete in his last years in Walford always creeps me out a little. He went from being a very real, believable man (and yes, Peter Dean couldn't act, but he still worked in the role of the meathead who tried but it was never enough) to being a game show presenter who got lost on the Square.

I love Toddy Carty/Mark Fowler. Mark was such a gentle soul. I hate when they killed him offscreen, which was totally unnecessary. People with HIV live long lives and now with science getting one step closer to curing this ailment, Mark should still be living and be on the Square. He's another death that I wouldn't mind seeing them undo as he died offscreen.

I'd add Angie too the list as well but that would be too much.

Back to Mark, I loved him because he was one of the few to stand up to Phil even though he used to lose to him. I also hated how that sow, Peggy, treated Mark early on when everyone learned he had HIV. Makes me miss Pauline too because besides Sharon and Pat, no one could read Peggy for filth.

Does anyone know if Todd Carty still acts? I miss his presence onscreen.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
