I missed out on the alleged horror story that led up to it, but I loved the moment she stood up in prison to reveal her pregnancy. It was the first time I experienced that sort of pregnancy reveal, and her subsequent time after in Walford was perfect. Of course, Kirkwood copied himself unnecessarily with Theresa McQueen, and they did the same with Charity on Emmerdale, so it's lost a but of its lustre. Still, that she named him after Ricky cracks me up.

Kim actually also appeared in more episodes than Danniella, probably down to the Den murder story in 2005 (and the fact she never had serious, um, "issues"). 

 

Though, Kim's Sam felt like a completely different character, not that I minded though. I've never felt Sam to be much of a character in the first place.

Was tonight the sad sap's episode of EE? I couldn't with all the moaning and groaning tonight. 

 

Kush getting drunk and moping about just solidified my newfound dislike for him. I hate how he's been made the victim (along with Stacey) when he is the co-culprit in the paternity of Arthur. Carmel is starting to piss me off too with her constant coddling. IMO, she should be calling him out on his f-ck up instead of encouraging it. It further unnerved me too that Carmel went to Sonia of all people to seek help. Ugh. 

 

We then move onto Buster moaning about Shirley.... Perks about these scene are that they were to FF. No Mick. No Buster. No Shirley. Thank you, Jesus. 

 

Moving onto the interesting part--Jordan. I hate how Kim, Patrick, and Vincent were so hard on him. Especially, given their current (Kim/Vincent) or past (Patrick) history with unsavory characters. I also didn't like how they kept comparing him to Lucas. Jordan was nothing of the sort. I am glad that Denise is getting story and Jordan is back. Can't wait to see how this pans out.

Whoa! Talk about an ending. I did not expect Jordan to have a child! May I also add that Jovian Wade is a true gem! What a find for EE. After 2 episodes, I've already fallen for this version of Jordan. I was heartbroken when he divulged to Denise that his whole reasoning for needing the money and stealing the money from Chelsea was to help his family escape and to pay off his late girlfriend's debt to her dealers. 

 

 

Pam digging into Kathy's ass was everything. Kathy is such a simp now to believe and take the bait that Babe tossed out there.

 

Have these people forgotten that Ben is gay?! 

 

It is obvious he'd gravitate toward Paul constantly because that's who he is attracted to! 

 

I am not here for Abi's skeevy, no self-esteem having ass plotting to try and win over Ben knowing damn well he's gay. I hate this story. Have her go sniff after Jay! Just makes me wish that Abi would've left the Square with Lauren. Doesn't help now that DTC is about to add another obstacle to the mix....

Ok. Tonight once again reaffirms that DTC and his writers must be looking at US soaps and their tropes b/c they are using one of the oldest tricks in the book--trapping a gay man with a baby. 

 

Abi and Babe are equally pathetic and this story is stupid. Is Abi even really pregnant? If so, how is Abi gonna play this off when she's not showing in a few weeks? Or when she goes to the doctor and is confirmed not be pregnant? This story just wreaks of stupidity, but I hope it quickly wraps up. 

 

Moving on to a story I actually like, I am glad that Patrick eased up and realized that Jordan needs to stay with them. Given Paul's sketchy past, I am shocked that DTC didn't make Patrick instantly want to keep Jordan around--a way to somewhat sort out his demons with his son, who he lost to the violent streets. Kim continues to annoy me with her assuming that Jordan is the gateway to Lucas returning. Regardless, Lucas was gonna return into Denise's orbit if given the chance. I don't see how that is on Jordan.

      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.
