Thanks for the transcript and the video, both of you!!

Wasn't expecting this. Kirkwood has some kind of odd charisma about him, he always has. And he's wearing the flannel shirt which most gay soap producers and characters seem to wear...

I'm glad to hear Carol will be getting a story that will change her world. I wonder if she will have an illness.

The line about seeing whether people deserve to be on Eastenders might rankle some but I think he has a point, and most of his firings so far have been correct.

Interesting to see a glimpse of Kat and Alfie. Shane's facelift hasn't been TOO damaging but I hope he will still have the expressiveness he used to have.

Steve is going a great job as Phil but the snot pouring out of his nose was gross lol, was it real snot?

Lily was such a cutie when she was sitting in Stacey's lap and smiling at Jean.

Ryan is way too hot for Janine, I like her as a bitch but I don't like her pudgy face.

I love Billy he is so sweet, he should have more scenes.

Im going to miss Peggy, the Mitchell family will not be the same without her. :(

I am missing Madeline Duggan already as Lauren. She was very pretty, sweet but was rebellious at the same time. I saw the pic of the new Lauren she looks mean, too old and fugly.

Today's episode:

I thought it was fantastically gripping from start to finish. Much better than that overrated sh!t of a Live episode.

Lacey Turner and Steve McFadden were both fantastic.

I don't think it even mattered that no one died, not even Peggy. The real loss was the Vic, which is a character in itself on the show, and the thing Peggy probably loves as much as her faaaamily.

Realistic reaction from Zainab as well, given that she supposedly went through a bad fire years ago.

Poor Stacey getting slapped by Pat and then being trapped with Lily upstairs.

I kind of thought Phil would die when the roof collapsed on him...

Glad to see Janine shouting, "Where's Pat!??!"

I thought the scenes with Ryan rescuing Lily and Stacey were heartwarming, and then when they were all on the street, Stacey tells him "She's your's ....she's your daughter." and Ryan froze was well done.

It was nice that you also got to see everyone's reactions, even people who didn't go to Janine and Ryan's reception. You had people like Ian, Patrick, Denise, and Carol running out of their houses to see what was going on and to witness the centerpiece of Albert Square - The Vic burn to the ground.

I'm surprised Peggy didn't run back in to get her precious Queen Victoria bust. :lol:

They also dropped hints about Ronnie's pregnancy in this episode. Like Roxy yelling to her to help, and Ronnie said rubbing her stomach, "I can't!"

Oh, and drunk Dot was hilarious, especially when she was dancing around. :lol:

Anyway, this episode just flew by, and was very entertaining and well-written from start to finish. I know it's a special/stunt episode, but I thought it was rather well executed, acted, directed, and written.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
