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.

    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • 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!!
