I just hope it was Nitin's choice to leave and they didn't give him a push. They wasted and degraded him this year, but Masood still had something to offer if given the chance. 

 

I'm mostly concerned that we are hearing nothing about the worst characters leaving.

Exactly. Why haven't the Carters been axed already? I mean all of them. Shirley included. That family is dreadful. 

 

Why is Shakil or Louise still on the show? Jane? Hell, even Stacey? 

 

I tried watching tonight's episode and I couldn't. I FF through most of it. I am so over the capers of the Mitchell clan. It's old and tired.

I can't get over this show entertaining him and Courtney flirting. It's just gross. 

 

Is this still DTC's material? If so, he has some weird issue with banging siblings. He wanted to go there with surrogate siblings, Jay and Louise, and thank GOD he didn't. I can't sit through Mark & Courtney. I just can't. I'll return once Grant and his seeds are gone. This story is just abysmal. 

 

The biggest secret in EE/UK soap history ruined with a stupid story. Everything is wrong about this story. Mark's accent, his backstory, no Michelle, Grant hardly being around, the reveal....<_<

Lots of kinky shots of Ben and Jay tied up would probably be the sole value, and I don't even expect that, sadly. 

 

Mark is creepy, boring, and weird. He also looks 25-30, like Louise. I don't understand the casting for young people on this show. I haven't in some time. This is one of the laziest, tackiest, and most pointless stories in EE history.

Yes. Hilariously, apparently the soap person on This Morning had to make it clear yesterday that this is NOT the new producer - I guess because people were not thrilled. His material will start kicking in next week.

Thank God. I hope O'Connor wraps this Grant story up quick. Love Ross Kemp but I want Grant gone. Sucks b/c I've wanted a Grant return forever but this story is garbage. 

 

 

I would've found the story more interesting if we just had Mark be an actual American young man coming to the Square looking to get close to his father's family. This arc should've all occurred before Peggy croaked for starters. Mark should've came and stayed with Ian, but trying to feel out the Mitchells in the process.

 

Sharon, though she's Michelle's BFF, shouldn't've known about the secret of Mark's paternity either. It should've been a huge shocker for her too upon the reveal.

With Linda going, Mick possibly going with her for a while, Lee going, there aren't too many left. The problem is the worst are wretched (Babe). She needs to go ASAP, and the Carters need to leave the Vic. After that I don't mind if they stay, even if Dyer's ego needs checking. 

 

The only parts I had any interest in were the Mitchells (aside from Sharon, who is oblivious and sad as always now) clocking Phil time and time again about Jay. He hated it, because he couldn't do anything about it. He's at his weakest state and his family aren't putting up with his ego trips anymore. I don't even want Jay in that house, I want him with Billy and Honey or in a place of his own, but I was happy to see Phil feel so small. Of course it couldn't last, and we got that silly BOOM! PAM! POW! audio bit at the end. That scene could have worked but not the way it was done. Harry Reid's done well the last few weeks but hearing him shout "Oi!" isn't exactly frightening.

    • 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
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • 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). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. 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. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • 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.
