Sexy Santas - I was hoping that might be the guys. Remember Garry's Santa calendar?

Does the Billy/Julie stuff remind you of Hollyoaks when Jacqui was sent back inside for a few months because she missed her curfew after a night with Tony?

It will be good to see more of Dot and Pat together.

That caption for Glenda cracks me up. While I don't think the show is as overly sexualized as some are claiming (it's not any worse than last year where Ryan was bedding Janine/Ronnie/Stacey within a week or two of each other and Ronnie was with Ryan and with Owen), it isn't necessarily a bad thing to see characters like Glenda who know how to use sex as a weapon. It's true to life anyway.

Spoilers for Charlie's exit.

Aw, he hasn't had much to do in years, but I will miss Charlie. The Slater's and the time they originally hit the show and helped to give it a new life will always be near and dear to my heart. I will always hold them as the last successfully introduced soap family.

I wonder what makes Charlie leave. Kat looks a lot like her 02-05 self in those pics. They've toned her down recently and she seems like her old self again.

Is that the same tube station btw where Charlie had his heartattack when he was trying to find Zoe who had run away?

I think he must have a bitter argument with Kat. They have been building up to that -- she hasn't been all that warm to him on her return.

I'm glad they didn't kill him off, it would have been too much with Kat thinking she's already lost a baby.

I wonder who Charlie goes to live with. Belinda, Lynne, or Little Mo? I doubt he's going wherever the hell Stacey will be or wherever Zoe is.

I wonder if they're keeping the Slater house for the Slater's with Jean coming back next year and all...

I cannot wait for Lacey Turner to exit. She annoys the sh!t out of me. The character and the annoying actress really ran their course.

Which exiting cast members did you miss when they left?

Fern Britton Meets June Brown

I wanted too mis her, Carl, I really did. I even liked a character until not so long ago. But seeing how neurotic they've made her, trashed her then made her a saint... Sometimes in a matter of episodes: she was a hysterical, psychotic mess in that hotel room and now she's this happy young woman doing the laundry chatting with her uncle while doing it.
