They might have thought most viewers who remembered Sharon would remember she was on the tape. I do wish that Ian had gone into a bit more details -- I think he mentioned everyone in the band but Sharon.

Kirkwood said he was a big Eastenders fan and if he is then I guess you can see that most in him doing his own "teenage characters form a band" story on Hollyoaks a few years ago, with the Dirty Diegos.

The people who ran Eastenders at this time I think went on to say the story was just awful but I think it's kind of a fun adventure for teens. Back then on Eastenders, and in life, teenagers were still allowed to have fun and slowly go into the real world, aside from Michelle of course.

Apparently, Sam's last episode and Minty's is at the end of September. I guess they go off happily together, even though I suspect Sam will always treat him as her last resort, since she has no one else in her life to look forward to.

Even if the baby isn't his, I can see Minty still wanting to raise it with Sam.

Maybe they'll still have Sam occasionally make visits from time to time. Phil doesn't have any immediate family anymore, yes he has Ronnie, Roxy, and Billy, but they're not his siblings.

I was just watching an episode from when Sue Osman was pregnant and not far from giving birth, and Ali was fussing over her, and Dot said something like, "That's how Charlie was when I was carrying my Nick. Or he would have been, if he'd been there." :lol:

I disagree with almost everything on that list. How can Grant be above Den? I can't believe Angie is so far down or that Ricky is above Kathy or Nick Cotton is above Ian. It must have been deliberately done to stoke controversy.

Daran Little is writing the Monday episode to that week, right? When was the last time someone wrote that many consecutive episodes? I know that was being planned for a while, as Dominic Treadwell-Collinns said Simon Ashdown was writing all of Barbara Windsor's final episodes.

I guess this is how Ryan will find out about Lily, and it's also a Vic Fire spoiler:

    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.  
    • Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
    • I think she's her daughter but even if she's not, I can see Nicole forgiving her. The Duprees were kinda painting Eva out to be a victim of her deranged mother today with the way Anita was laying it on think on how horrible a mother she was. Even Nicole used language such as Eva being weaponized against them. She's a psychiatrist and can see that this is a clear case of emotional trauma and manipulation. Nicole is in her feelings right now as she should be but I think she will realize that Eva isnt the villian here and is a victim of sorts on her own
    • I do actually. Nicole seems like the forgiving type; plus she is a Psychiatrist. It is probably easy for her to be sympathetic. Absolutely agree.
    • Dana has proven to be beyond unhinged from day one.
