I wonder what will happen with the staff at the Vic overall. Chelsea, Roxy, Ronnie, and Peggy won't be there. Will Kat and Alfie keep Shirley on? Tracy will definitely be kept on, since that's her only role.

Plus, I'm sure Mo and Michael will be living with Kat and Alfie if/when they get to run the Vic.

I think Mo would still do her wheeling and dealing on the stall. Michael I can see working there. Probably Shirley too. The show may want to keep a Mitchell presence so I won't be surprised if one of Ronnie or Roxie still work there sometimes.

If it were me I would have Pat, Shirley, Tracey, and maybe Christian and Jodie.

If Sam were here to stay longer, perhaps she would have been a good Mitchell left over presence there. Alfie always seemed like a better big brother type to her than Grant and Phil ever were.

Kat and Alfie are on the cover of the new Inside Soap Magazine, new pics of Jessie and Shane are used, Michael is also on the cover, as well as stock pics of Peggy and Roxy.

Someone on DS also said that Kacey Ainsworth (Little Mo) was spotted at the Elstreet Studios today, though she may be recording something for a possible Kat/Alfie Revealed special. Though I can see Little Mo back for a short while if they kill off Charlie.

I hated how they f.ucked over Little Mo and Billy with the rape fiasco and then Little Mo/Alfie. If they every write Billy out, I'd want him to reunite with Little Mo.

That cover is so badly put together.

I agree that Kacey might be there for a Revealed special more than an event. Sadly even if Charlie dies I don't think they will bring anyone back.

I really liked Billy and Little Mo together. It was a mistake to ever let them be apart. At first at least he got to be happy with Honey after what happened with Little Mo but over the past few years he's just been miserable and pointless.

Walford Web has some new photos up. One of Billie in fatigues, looking as stupid as ever. A few of Ryan and Janine. And one of:

Lewis Daley (DEKA WALMSLEY)

Who is that?

Thanks! Well, hopefully this means he and Carol might have a story together for a while, if he has a photo.

Didn't you think Patsy Palmer looked very pretty today? Either they are making her look less frumpy for some reason, after years spent as a drudge, or she's glowing from the pregnancy.

It was strange that Bianca was suddenly going on about Ricky not giving her any loving, as, the way she's generally treated him over the years, I'd always assumed Ricky was the one who would probably be kept at arm's length.

Lucy Benjamin was on This Morning today:

Patsy did look pretty. So did Carol, btw.

I would think the opposite. I can't imagine Ricky wanting to bed that harridan other than as last resort. She badgers and nags him constantly which is a definite sexual turn off for most men.

Thanks for posting that interview. I think Lucy's had a jab of Botox.

I always liked Lisa, even though she was a weeping wreck. I am glad they're at least going to try to explain Lisa's absence, as this story never made any sense to me.

I don't think we'll ever be seeing Lisa again, although as Lucy said, she never thought they'd even bring her back!

I just wanted to say if anyone wants to see other Lucy Benjamin stuff, and also a fun, cheesy, but at times surprisingly deep and moving space/soap opera, you should try Jupiter Moon. It's available on Netflix if you have Netflix.

Yeah Lindsey looked great. But then I have a soft spot for Carol.

I guess the reason I thought that Bianca was the one who wouldn't be interested in sex is because they've generally acted like he is a burden to her and she's not very interested in him as anything other than a stable father for her kids.

We both said this, we have good taste.

I think Elizabeth was his daughter though.

I'd love to see some of the people you suggested.

I'd like to see Sue Osman again too, and Mehmet and his wife, and their kids.

And perhaps Naima or her child if she had one.

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time. 
    • I hope it's okay to post this here(as in from DC)  
    • Quick question - did Christie and Leann share any scenes together in the '80s before Leann left the show?
    • This is the perfect way to encapsulate the situation. So many morally-reprehensible stories were foisted on the show and its characters in ATWT's dwindling years. Rape should never be used as a cheap plot device or in a way that degrades the victim. Jack's sexual assault was another heinous example of how nasty the the show's tone had become. The fact that people like Hogan Sheffer, Ron Carlivati, Jean Passanante, Charles Pratt, Dena Higley, etc., somehow end up winning awards for their material, decimates the credibility and integrity of the awards, IMHO. Soaps used to have a solid moral core and did not originally wallow in the gutter, rolling around in filth and depravity just to be cool, hip, campy, or whatever else modern-day PTB aim for. Thank you. Cruelty, degradation and misogyny are not components which lend themselves to successful soaps, which have always been predicated on warmth, family bonds, and providing a comforting haven for their audience. The genre has been crippled because the cynical and ignorant executives in charge understand neither the shows nor what the audience wants to see.
