I don't know, the show has a record of not mentioning people after they've left.

Shirley herself mentioned last summer that she wasn't like Sharon, Kathy, or Lisa. So, I guess from that, Phil must have told her something about his love life at one point.

But they did acknowledge Sharon having some thought for Phil since she's left. In the Christmas 2008 episode, when Ian was on the phone with Sharon, she told Ian to wish Phil a Merry Christmas from her.

Thanks for telling me. I will need to watch while I still can, before any of that becomes priced out with all the upcoming broadband caps and so on. I'm glad they're giving Carol more to do, I love her character, and hopefully this will help Lindsey get some more votes for the BSA.

Eastenders won the royal television society awards last night. It beat out Corrie and Casualty in the soaps and continuing drama category. The panel said that Eastenders was “Economically written, beautifully executed, a real class above the rest with a stunning central performance from Lindsay Coulson.”

I'm glad Eastenders won. The episode with Billie's death was superb, the best on any soap in a long time, and Lindsey deserves this. What a contrast between that and the bad camp that Phil Collinson serves up as drama.

Thanks Dannigold.

I've been watching EE the last few weeks to see just how bad it's got...and its got bad. There are so many inconsistencies at the moment and everything seems to be falling flat. Thank God for Carol and Janine.

I loved the episode where Janine had a go at Lauren for being such a brat. :lol:

Ok, I might be forced to eat my words. Having posted on here just a few hours ago that EE was awful lately, I then watched Thursday's episode.

I thought it was great to have Lauren and Janine be the ones to find Whitney. And God I love Janine. She's probably my favourite soap character of all time, though I have never been happy with the stereotypical way they've written the character since her 2008 return. But I liked the way Simon Ashn showed that caring side of Janine to get Whitney to come home with her. They always seem to write her as some panto villain, but I'm glad they have finally shown another side to her character which never seems to be shown. To be fair they did go a bit overboard with Janine in what she was saying to Whitney, I don't think she would have been so mellow in reality. I could have done with Janine saying something along the lines of "Can't you see what he's doing, you stupid little girl?!" but instead she acted far more adult.

Lauren finally seems to have improved as well. And I think Shona McGarty has really proven that she can act serious storylines, and I would even go as far as to say she's a worthy replacement for Stacey. Of course Lacey Turner is a whole other league, but Shona comes pretty close IMO.

      Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.

      He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.

      Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.

      It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.

      I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.

      I agree 100% with both you and Mitch64.  Soaps have been going further and further off-course since 1981. TPTB just don't have a fundamental understanding of what makes soap fans so loyal. I'd love to be on a writing team with both of you.  Maybe we could put together a real soap opera, and show people what its all about...

      They weren't in town, but Fletcher worked at the paper (and we saw anniversary Journal headlines for the 50th, although I don't remember if Roger was one of them), and I'd think Alex would have at least heard of him due to the damage he did to Spaulding only a few years before her return to the fold. I know I have to remember it's not real life, of course.
