Wasn't Who Shot Phil? in April 2001 too?

I was ready for Ricky to leave. He was entirely lost without Bianca the first time around, and I won't even get into his stint during the early part of the Louise Berrridge era.

Patsy is starting to annoy me. Don't return if you don't want to, stop stringing the show and the fans along.

To be honest, the way she's treating the show as some safety net in case a bigger opportunity doesn't work out screams disrespect. She's lucky Matthew Robinson isn't the EP, he would have had Bianca killed off much like he did with Tiffany when Martine was pulling the same crap.

I agree. This isn't new for Patsy - she didn't speak kindly of the show while she was gone, she complained about being paired with Ricky again (not that I can blame her), and then there's this. I think she never would have come back if she hadn't needed to financially, and while that's true of many actors, some bother to hide it a little more.

I would miss Bianca, but to me the character wasn't the same after her initial run. I hated some of her writing in 2008 and even in 2009 there was too much of the shrieky stuff. It's only been with Carol's return that the quieter and more human Bianca returned again. I know Carol probably won't be around forever either but as long as she and Pat are there I don't miss Bianca that much.

Yes (well I think it might have been March) but the article is actually talking about April 2000 when Lisa had her miscarriage and when Ricky left. You'd think Inside Soap would have done ten years ago rather than eleven, especially with the who shot Phil and the rape storyline on Corrie being big news back then (Corrie for the wrong reasons lol) but oh well...

If Bianca doesn't come back, then i would bring back Daneilla Westbrock (Sam) so they can have someone for Ricky to spring off with. I can't see Carol lasting until 2012 personally. I like Carol more than i did this time last year, less overbearing and more comfortable. I wonder what will happen to the kids if Patsy doesn't come back ?

"I don't mean to sound funny, but I don't eat foreign." Line of the night!

I was getting misty eyed during the Zainab/Syed scenes. One step closer, two steps back. EE is always great for me when the Masoods are front and centre. However, I feel the actor that plays Tamwar is quite limited, unfortunately.

That scene with Syed and Zainab floored me - by far the best work I've seen from Marc Elliot. In the past he used a mopey face as a default but this time I genuinely believed Syed daring to hope, in spite of knowing he shouldn't.

What is so great about Zainab is she is so effortless in any comedy or dramatic scene. What a comparison to the labored Heather.

I really wish Zainab and Yusef would not go the predictable affair route. I also wish they could find a way to dig Masood out. The family is like a car crash now - you can't look away.

Tamwar is the most limited actor of the family, although he works in the supporting role. I do wish he'd grow up a little more.

Great character mixture having Janine pop in there.

Thanks. It's nice to see she has so many friends from the set - and it's nice to see Martine again (she looks about the same as she did ten years ago). More and more I don't think Patsy will be back on Eastenders.

I kept counting the number of "y'know...".

    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
