You're probably going to puke Carl, but I am looking forward to Friday's episode when Janine declares her love for Ryan as he leaves. The spoiler pics look very sweet and romantic. LOL!

I love scenes like that. You know, when one person is leaving, but the person that loves them and wants them to stay goes after them and gets them in the end and they share a kiss. LOL!

I like Janine and Ryan.

I'm not going to puke, but I am confused. Can you tell me when she even decided she loved Ryan? She threw him over for Archie without much regret. She has mourned Archie for months and said he's the only man she loved. Meanwhile, Ryan suddenly started scolding Janine over her personal choices even though he came on the show as a somewhat sleazy, bad boy (at least he's forgotten he's related to Whitney -- can't blame him there).

I think this is just being done so that Janine can freak out over Stacey and the baby. It's always this big plot driven stuff with her, they don't bother to write for the character. I think they see her as some type of Dynasty figure.

I don't know, I think I always saw that they had feelings for one another underneath it all, but were too proud to admit it. They've developed a strange co-dependency with one another, I think it's only natural. Then again, I know quite a few relationships that started this way.

And yeah, it's probably done so they can cause a rift whenever it's revealed Ryan is the father of Stacey's baby. With Stacey's luck, I'm wondering if that baby will even live to see his/her first birthday.

It all just looks so romantic in pictures. LOL!

They never knew what to do with her. Being used as Jack's piece is degrading. Who can forget the notorious coke addiction that lasted for about 2 weeks. Knowing Eastenders, Libby will probably be the one who stays forever.

Apparently, Emilia di Girolamo was lured back to EastEnders to write one final episode that's "big." :unsure:

She goes on to say she's agreed to do another episode and they will both air in August, which will be well into the new Bryan Kirkwood regime.

Funny enough, she also Tweeted with Daran Little and her final two episodes will be airing the same week as his episode:

I wonder who her favourite Script Editor is? I think she originally left EastEnders to write for the UK edition of Law & Order.

I don't think it's unrealistic for them to fall in love but it's more that I don't think they have bothered to tell a story where Janine has ever loved him. He did seem to care for Janine, but she rejected him over and over for Archie and his memory. I don't think she'd care about Ryan unless they wanted her to be used to prop Stacey.

Wasn't that script editor the one who was around during the generally awful 2006 period?

      DAYS: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      By te. · Posted

      Considering his family was involved with Mike Horton in the past, I feel like they'll make him Mike's son and Jeremy's half-brother. Just my guess, and unfortunately it makes me wonder if we're in for another Charlie / Tripp situation where it'll end up being a case of mistaken identity. Just my gut feeling and not based on spoilers.

      All: Soap actors that also worked BTS on their shows

      By titan1978 · Posted

      With the recent Kate Mansi directing going on at GH, I was wondering what other performers also did double duty on their shows? I guess we could also talk about folks like James Hougton that wrote for Bell shows after he appeared in them (he did do double duty on Knots though). Off the top of my head I think Marie Masters wrote at ATWT while also playing Susan, Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t she do more than scripts too? Did Gillian Spencer appear on AMC as Daisy while writing there? Susan Flannery probably stayed at B&B so long because she got to direct there too. Tony Geary and his writing partner submitted stories for Luke and Laura’s return and the Endgame Cassadine one that he later said was none of what they planned. But that’s not the same as writing for the whole show, or directing. Apologies if there is another thread about this topic, I couldn’t find it!

      Unfortunately, @Vee will never achieve the success of JFP. She’s got 11 Emmys. Remind me how many Emmys you have?

      Since Mansi did direct, I think it puts the lie to those who say Frank V doesn't like her and would like to get rid of her.

      date: Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | Ron Carlivati, Jazmen Darnell Brown | Michael V. Pomarico Not Dana letting Vernon know that she is aware of his presence at the Bowman. No bueno. She cannot handle keeping things to herself for a period of time. Spoilt bitch, no offence, but I cannot stand you. You are getting everything you deserve. I like that Ted is not willing to take sides in Eva's battle with her sister. That is smart. As much of a problem as I have had with Martin since day one, I appreciate him seeing Eva as she is: his sister. So refreshing. Not Anita overhearing Dana and Vernon's conversation. How unfortunate. I love how happy Martin is for Eva. That is what a sibling does! And speak on it: the spoilt bitch needs to shut her trap before someone (Eva) shuts it for her. Aw, how cute is it that Andre and Dani are re-exchanging vows? Just a shame it will not last when Dani goes back to Bill and Andre goes to Ashley. And he said the four-letter word! Eva and Martin's banter is so cute; I love that she offered to talk to Samantha, whom she formed a bond with at one point in time doing her hair. And her face when the spoilt bitch made her presence known is how I feel whenever she shows up, opens her mouth, and acts like she is God's gift to the DMV. "Well, not anymore," get her, Eva. GET HER! Yesssssss. Anita has a vivid imagination? Ooh-la-wee! Anita, let us in on it. Please. Why do I feel like Dana is not talking to Ted about Peaches but about what Vernon is [supposedly] doing with Sharon? Hmm. Wow... I am surprised. It IS about Peaches. Colour me surprised. Ooh! I am so happy that Martin overheard the spoilt bitch wish Dana had "gotten rid" of Eva. Let her have it, sir! DO IT! Notes: Right when I thought I would catch a break after writer2 yesterday, today we are stuck with the writer. At least, like Danielle Paige yesterday, we have one of this soap's best scriptwriters (Brown) writing. I am sorry, but this soap's take on half-siblings or even step-siblings is very off-putting, as if they are less than full-blooded siblings, when in reality they are as special and important. The food at Uptown definitely rivals Orphey Gene's; it does look absolutely delicious and comforting. Sean Freeman (Andre) showed up today with the emotional pull. I knew he had it in him, and it is beautiful to see at the hands of Brown's scripted words.
