Does anyone know how far behind the UK Canada will be when Vision TV starts airing episodes (with Emmerdale) tomorrow? Apparently they're picking back up from where BBCCanada stoppes showing it last Spring. I hope it lasts longer than the 2 or so months Showcase showed Eastenders a year or two back (probably, Vision doesn't care nearly as much about ratings as Showcase did and they seem to be hoping a lot of the BBC viewes will move over)

That fight looks great and it's been a long time coming.

I don't remember Kat and Janine mixing it up much during their first stints together, outside of that time Kat jumped into a fight between Zoe and Janine. Janine mostly mixed it up with Little Mo (who she bullied when she decided she wanted Billy), Lynne, and Zoe. Though, Kat does look pissed in that pic, and maybe doesn't jump in because she's heavily pregnant.

Is it me or this a good time for Natalie Evans to make a return to Walford ?

Think about it.

1) The Bill`s Cancelled

2) Ricky & Bianca Are Back In The Square

3) Janine Is Back In The Square

Its not a bad idea if you think about it.

Bring Natalie and her son Jack back into the show. And an idea to bring her new abusive husband (A story to kick her off with). They could return just after their wedding (Wedding Dress & Suit and everything) after they bought a house in Walford. But on the inside he controls,hits and demeans her. She could find comfort in Ricky who Bianca may suspect she is after her man again.

Just an idea ?

You can see a brief clip of Kat's first scenes with Big Mo from tonight's episode in this clip:

The Slater's were the bets part of today's episode. Dot and Patrick were good too.

I loved how Stacey and Charlie lit up when they realized it was Kat who walked in through the kitchen door. We didn't get to see enough Kat in this episode amongst all the Minty/Heather nonsense (which is thankfully ending tomorrow).

Ronnie is acting more and more like Archie, this side has always existed in her, so I'm not shocked she thinks she can control everyone's lives.

The Vanessa/Jodie scene was nice, but the girl playing Jodie does not have a very flattering crying voice and I found her very annoying today.

Gotta love how Sam is working Minty so he can run off with her and be her support system, not because she actually likes him. That's the basis of what they have, I'm glad they aren't coming up with some stupid story where Sam magically realizes she's in love with Minty, because she really isn't.

I loved when Dot recounted the Slater's history on the show to the guy who was after Kat. Like how they arrived on the day of her dear friend Ethel's funeral, they had 4 daughter (5 if you count the one that ain't really :lol: ), and a father and a grandmother. A nice little nod to 10 years ago this week...

I'm so glad Minty's time is coming to an end...

They seem to be working in Kat gradually, but I can't wait to see more of her.

More details on the Stacey/Janine fight.

It looks like they fight more than once next week, and Kat does step into it in one of them.

Oooh, it does look like Shirley and Kat will be friendly:

I had seen a negative-ish reaction to this episode at several boards so I was surprised at how much I liked it. Probably because I liked how much time was spent on everyday little scenes building up to the christening, like speeches being prepared, women getting ready, men being impatient.

I understood what Jodie was trying to get across and I thought the actress did a decent job but the dialogue was odd and having her say those things while she was doing that strange crying was an odd choice.

The scenes with Dot were very good (poor Jim, that was a bit of a low blow she made bringing up his abandoning Paul and Anthony). The scene where she talked about the Slaters reminded me a lot of Corrie for some reason, although it was a nice nod to history.

Great that Kat's back. She's brought out the first spark Mo's had in years, and seeing Charlie and Stacey greet her was nice. Jean's reaction was also a bit odd...

I'm going to miss Sam, there's something very interesting about her this time around, how she is very selfish and sometimes tries to fight this.

Ratings were unusually high last night. Think the Kat/Alfie promo worked, or are more people settling down and watching soaps now that autumn is quickly approaching?

19:00- Emmerdale: 7.0m (35.2%)

19:30- Coronation Street: 8.8m (39.5%)

20:00- EastEnders: 9.2m (37.7%)

20:30- Coronation Street: 8.8m (35.8%)

22:00- EastEnders (BBC3): 911k (4.71%)

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
