The actor that played Jake quit during Kate Harwood's tenure in charge, right? Very little she did made much sense.

I'd love to see Chrissie again, but I don't think she'll ever come back and there's nothing really left for her in Walford anyway. I always thought Chrissie was the best thing about Den's return...

I think that there's always a chance for Chrissie if Sharon ever returns. I think Kirkwood would love to have Chrissie on his show, she's very much his type of character.

Yeah Jake left when Harwood was there. That was all the Johnny Allen stuff and Ruby and bleh.

That's right, didn't Chrissie swear revenge on Sharon for sending her to prison?

Whatever problems the show has with Letitia Dean, they need to sort it out. There's no reason why Sharon shouldn't still be on the show. Did you know that when Letitia left in 2005, it was only supposed to be an extended break, according to a BBC spokesperson? She never came back...

I know that Letitia has said in interviews that she's very open to returning too. Though, Kirkwood's said after Kat and Alfie return, he doesn't want to do another return for at least a year, which I think is wise.

Letitia's been working consistently in musical theater for a few years now but I'm sure she'd be happy to return if the story is there. With Ronnie and Roxy probably past their peak years and with Phil losing so much else in his life I think it's probably a good time, sometime in the next two years.

I always wonder if that "it's just a break" thing is genuine or a way to help ease fans into accepting a longtime departure. I think Natalie Cassidy said the same thing, and Leah Bracknell (Zoe Tate on Emmerdale).

When Ben returns, I wish they'd do a story where Ben still loves musical theater and dancing, and actually is straight, and Phil becomes a bit of a father figure to a young man who is very macho and can defend himself and is very confident, and who is gay.

Denise/Lucas is gripping although I think the story itself is kind of stupid. The acting is top notch which makes the drama. I can't wait for Thursday. I predicted those high ratings so I'm not surprised that people are loving it as I am.

I love the Max/Darren comedy. I couldn't stop laughing. It is a good start to setting up Darren as Max's surrogate son and an unofficial Branning. Darren has no family left in the Square. Max was a crap father to Bradley so he can redeem himself by being a good father to Darren. I hope Abi's crush on Darren goes nowhere.

These producers have got to stop making excuses. Walford will always need Sharon. Letitia should be asked back and parked in the Vic where she belongs.

Ugh. I didn't realize that Kat and Alfie were coming back for a long stint. I never liked them though I know they were popular. .

The Cast interest me. If i compare my interest from Series 1 , i would say i was more interested in Series 1`s Cast than Series 2. I do like that they are bringing in A New Brother Duo. Exactly what we need. Sadly the two girls aren`t as hot as the lovely Zsa Zsa from January.

OH

ROXANNE MCKEE COMING TO EASTENDERS HAS MADE MY DAY. Dream come true this is. I know its ok a guest appearance (New BBC 3 Drama she is in) but hopefully she can become a regular. That would be awesome.

It doesn't sound like this new cast will be transitioning to the main show, which is something Santer made clear when the first series started.

And no thanks, I don't need to see Roxanne McKee on the main show. Awful actress with nothing but looks.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
