Thanks for posting. It looks like it should be a fantastically produced stunt.

Some more pics of Jessie Wallace as Pat Phoneix: http://lifeofwylie.com/2010/08/26/coronation-street-birth-of-the-cobbles/

Daran Little also Tweeted about an upcoming episode he's writing with Janine, Bianca, Kat, and Alfie. I wonder if Kat and Bianca will interact. Daran knows how to write for strong bitchy women with a sense of humour.

I think Janine is the only bitch-type character without a conscience most of the time, though she does have a soft vulnerable side.

I also wouldn't classify Jane, Denise, and yes Heather as typical bitch characters.

Then there's a character like Kat who has so many layers and puts on a loud and proud front on the outside, when she's really a vulnerable and fragile soul on the inside.

Through the show, Corrie as well, was built on edgy female characters. Though, tragic heroine characters like Sharon and Kathy have also been a big part of its foundation. Though, even Sharon had a nasty and arrogant side to her at times.

I don't know, I feel as if it's a chore to watch for you. As if you're really struggling. There's something about it that you don't understand or something like that. So my post wasn't really about your remark about the bitchy women, it's more "in general".

I can imagine that Kat will have a lot to say to Janine about trying to take

What is Vanessa screaming about? Does she think that Jody is in the fire? I'm not loving how they are involving her in so much of Max's life.

Not a chore at all. I'm falling in love with the show. Being a former watcher of Days of our Lives, I can tell you that I would not watch if I did not enjoy. Nothing is worth that pain. I do admit there aren't a lot of characters I can say I absolutely love, but the strong writing and acting (for the most part, of course there's always a few dolts) have kept me in it. Like most other shows, I haven't really found that character that makes me light up instantly when they are on screen. The transition doesn't help that. Plus, there are some characters I just could never like, because historically, I never have. (Heather, Phil) But maybe that's wrong of me. Maybe it's wrong to try and find a favourite?

Like I said, I probably feel this way because this show has no innocent ingenue. I love my Jennifer Hortons and my Jenny Woleks. Plus, I have yet to find a character that I feel is mine! When I get that, I'll be more emotionally connected to the show I'm sure.

I think that it is a struggle to find a favorite character on EE. Some of the characters aren't well drawn and others can be so unlikable at times. My current faves are:

Christian - I just love him. He does make me light up, especially now that he is back to being himself.

Dot - now she is no longer a mean bitch

Ian - He is such idiot at times, but I have liked him since he was a teen

Denise - I love her fierceness

Zianab - Nina Wadia makes me keep her on my fave list even though I have been ticked off at Zainab since she started her bigoted rants.

      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.
