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.

      That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.

      Knots Landing

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively.

      Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

      Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.

      This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By DRW50 · Posted

      I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

      Knots Landing

        I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
