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...".
