Does anyone know how far behind the UK Canada will be when Vision TV starts airing episodes (with Emmerdale) tomorrow? Apparently they're picking back up from where BBCCanada stoppes showing it last Spring. I hope it lasts longer than the 2 or so months Showcase showed Eastenders a year or two back (probably, Vision doesn't care nearly as much about ratings as Showcase did and they seem to be hoping a lot of the BBC viewes will move over)

That fight looks great and it's been a long time coming.

I don't remember Kat and Janine mixing it up much during their first stints together, outside of that time Kat jumped into a fight between Zoe and Janine. Janine mostly mixed it up with Little Mo (who she bullied when she decided she wanted Billy), Lynne, and Zoe. Though, Kat does look pissed in that pic, and maybe doesn't jump in because she's heavily pregnant.

Is it me or this a good time for Natalie Evans to make a return to Walford ?

Think about it.

1) The Bill`s Cancelled

2) Ricky & Bianca Are Back In The Square

3) Janine Is Back In The Square

Its not a bad idea if you think about it.

Bring Natalie and her son Jack back into the show. And an idea to bring her new abusive husband (A story to kick her off with). They could return just after their wedding (Wedding Dress & Suit and everything) after they bought a house in Walford. But on the inside he controls,hits and demeans her. She could find comfort in Ricky who Bianca may suspect she is after her man again.

Just an idea ?

You can see a brief clip of Kat's first scenes with Big Mo from tonight's episode in this clip:

The Slater's were the bets part of today's episode. Dot and Patrick were good too.

I loved how Stacey and Charlie lit up when they realized it was Kat who walked in through the kitchen door. We didn't get to see enough Kat in this episode amongst all the Minty/Heather nonsense (which is thankfully ending tomorrow).

Ronnie is acting more and more like Archie, this side has always existed in her, so I'm not shocked she thinks she can control everyone's lives.

The Vanessa/Jodie scene was nice, but the girl playing Jodie does not have a very flattering crying voice and I found her very annoying today.

Gotta love how Sam is working Minty so he can run off with her and be her support system, not because she actually likes him. That's the basis of what they have, I'm glad they aren't coming up with some stupid story where Sam magically realizes she's in love with Minty, because she really isn't.

I loved when Dot recounted the Slater's history on the show to the guy who was after Kat. Like how they arrived on the day of her dear friend Ethel's funeral, they had 4 daughter (5 if you count the one that ain't really :lol: ), and a father and a grandmother. A nice little nod to 10 years ago this week...

I'm so glad Minty's time is coming to an end...

They seem to be working in Kat gradually, but I can't wait to see more of her.

More details on the Stacey/Janine fight.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/spoilers/a276812/a-furious-stacey-attacks-janine.html

It looks like they fight more than once next week, and Kat does step into it in one of them.

Oooh, it does look like Shirley and Kat will be friendly:

I had seen a negative-ish reaction to this episode at several boards so I was surprised at how much I liked it. Probably because I liked how much time was spent on everyday little scenes building up to the christening, like speeches being prepared, women getting ready, men being impatient.

I understood what Jodie was trying to get across and I thought the actress did a decent job but the dialogue was odd and having her say those things while she was doing that strange crying was an odd choice.

The scenes with Dot were very good (poor Jim, that was a bit of a low blow she made bringing up his abandoning Paul and Anthony). The scene where she talked about the Slaters reminded me a lot of Corrie for some reason, although it was a nice nod to history.

Great that Kat's back. She's brought out the first spark Mo's had in years, and seeing Charlie and Stacey greet her was nice. Jean's reaction was also a bit odd...

I'm going to miss Sam, there's something very interesting about her this time around, how she is very selfish and sometimes tries to fight this.

Ratings were unusually high last night. Think the Kat/Alfie promo worked, or are more people settling down and watching soaps now that autumn is quickly approaching?

19:00- Emmerdale: 7.0m (35.2%)

19:30- Coronation Street: 8.8m (39.5%)

20:00- EastEnders: 9.2m (37.7%)

20:30- Coronation Street: 8.8m (35.8%)

22:00- EastEnders (BBC3): 911k (4.71%)

      I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol

      "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

      I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore.

      Y&R: April 2025 Episode Rankings

      By Broderick · Posted

      It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
