I wish more of the 2004 Dot/Den two-hander was on YouTube. It's one of the few highlights from 2004...

Carol seems to feature on Harry Hill's TV Burp every week now. Not exactly hilarious sketches but it's nice to see her getting attention. They have someone who impersonates her, they never show the face though. It would be hilariously random if Lindsey showed up in one. :lol:

Looking at her credits, she was on Manchild, which was a comedy type of show. I only watched one episode or so before losing interest. It was about middle-aged men and their problems.

I haven't watched this week's episodes yet so wanted to say thanks for your recaps. When is that Dot photo from? Early 90s?

Here's a new interview with Lindsey; unfortunately Eammonn Holmes is involved. Let's see if he manages to avoid telling us that Corrie's Jack Duckworth (who is, you know, dying of cancer) proves how depressing Eastenders is...

Yeah, Ithink it's either very late 80's or early 90's.

That was actually a pretty good interview, despite Eammonn being there. Lindsey's new haircut looks nice too, though I doubt the show would ever let her showcase it.

Derek Martin was on Loose Women last week. He seems so much like Charlie Slater, even as he's not in the role here:

Lindsey Coulson was heartbreaking today. Carol looked physically haunted and gutted. It was sad when she had that mental and psychical breakdown when she was riding in the car with Alan and Blossom and had Alan stop the car so she could get out.

Poor Carol was also reaching out for someone and for some comfort finally when she tried to kiss Alan in the kitchen and her blocked her ass and told her he was married. Though, it was a sweet moment when he kissed his hand and then rubbed her cheek.

I had to laugh at Billie's gang friends circling the Square as if they're so hardcore and threatening. Really? I don't know anyone who would feel threatened by those people...

Anyone notice Tiffany was missing while the entire family was at the wake at Dot and Jim's? I guess they couldn't use Maisie Smith today, which is only a good thing.

I really like Blossom comforting Carol. I like Blossom a lot in fact, too bad she's only here for one or two episodes.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Janine comforting Liam and Morgan. I was even more surprised to see Janine and Ricky share a moment about their mother and how they felt when she died. It's a little moment, they didn't have to do it, but it was nice and I was happy for it.

Janine (to Liam and Morgan): Well, would you go to my funeral?

Pat: Everyone will be at your funeral, they'll want to make sure you're still in the coffin.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Does anyone else think from the brief glimpse we saw of Alan's new wife that she looks like a slightly younger Carol?

Loved seeing Kat and Stacey having fun and clowning around. I think Kat helps bring back some of Stacey's playfulness that was more apparent in her earlier years. They were a nice contrast to the rest of the episode. Oh, and Tracey talked again!

I'm intrigued by the Vanessa and Harry stuff. They're only just now starting to peel away the layers in that relationship.

Can't wait to see the episode, to get a little glimpse of Blossom again. I heard she looks the same as she did all those years ago.

It's too bad that a lot of fans can't seem to see Carol's pain and instead just write her off as being nasty. I keep hoping Lindsey will win some awards but that type of dislike for the character might make that less likely.

Coulson def deserves some awards. Carol does come off as unlikable shrew but Coulson acting just makes you feel bad for her.

Blossom totally reminds me of someone. Loved her story of Billy getting water from the toilet. I loved how the entire family gathered at Dot's.

I'm really liking Alfie & Roxy's new friendship.

Lauren needs to be punched in the face. And that gang? Hilarious. The rest of Monday's episode was great. Weird gripe though, Janine Malloy just does not have the same de riguer as Janine Butcher! Of course, with what is coming up, I don't think that will be a problem much longer.

When the Butcher's came on the scene, was Ricky/Janine's mom already dead?

Yes, Frank's first wife was dead when Frank, Diane, Ricky, and Janine were introduced.

Frank will always be the best thing about the Butcher family, I don't care how many times Mark Reid left and came back until his unfortunate death. He's truly one of the best characters EastEnders has created, as well as the ultimate love of Pat's life.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
