Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 The Mitchell's were better when they were exclusively tied to Sharon. It's easy to forget that Phil and Grant were created for her and to give her story, not to consume huge amounts of the show, which they did by the late 90's. I think the early 90's had a best of both worlds feel for the show. It still had a lot of its 80's grit, but was also more progressive and evolved with the then times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that the very very hard work of some previous uploaders was undone by stupid policies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 I love that clip with Mandy and Kathy. I had mixed feelings on Kathy, mostly because she became such a miserable person, but I like it when you see some fire in her, as you do in this clip. Revisiting the Donna story was just brilliant and I'm sorry they never did again. I really like how the show used the Mandy character to push buttons. Yet she doesn't seem like a plot device. You may enjoy this somewhat random clip of your favorite character's first boyfriend, going to be interviewed on BBC Wales.

Members Skylover Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 The actress that plays Mandy really reminds me of Lacey Turner and the character seems quite similar to Stacey. I like the look of her, was she a really big character at the time and quite memorable? Everyone I've told doesn't seem to remember her! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 11, 2011 Members Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Her voice reminds me a lot of Lacey's, but I would say that Mandy is more similar to Janine in her peak years than Stacey. Though, you could say Stacey also resembled some aspects of Janine as well, at least in her beginning years. Mandy had a one-night stand with Ricky before she left. Too bad Sid Owen is taking a break from the show, since Ricky is one of the remaining characters from that era who knew Mandy well enough. Mandy didn't meet Bianca and Carol, since they debuted permanently in January 1994, which is the same month Mandy left. And here's Nicola and Sid Owen together again on Bad Girls, at least in the recap scenes in the beginning and 3:06 in: Please register in order to view this content Edited June 11, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Janine/Lydia story will also lead to a story for Pat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 I didn't think Pat would be getting a love interest again (outside of the "comedy" stuff with Peggy) so I'm looking forward to this, even if it probably will just be short-term. I'm looking forward to seeing what he will be like. With Lydia for a mother he's probably going to be very weak-kneed. I guess this will lead to some war between Janine and Pat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 He sounds like he'll be like an older version of Ricky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Jessie and Letitia were both used heavily during the 2001-2005 era, but strangely, I can't recall many scenes between Kat and Sharon. I know Sharon interacted with the Slater's quite a bit when she returned as owner of the Vic in 2001, as they were the big new family on the show then, but that seemed to calm down a few months after her return. Anyway, 3:45 in is a scene where Kat visits Sharon on her wedding day to Dennis, and Chrissie later interrupts. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LQRiGJj-H9w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited June 12, 2011 by Y&RWorldTurner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think the only time they interacted was the Den murder story. You'd think they might have when Sharon's annoying fiance died helping save Little Mo from the fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 They also interacted when Zoe ran away after the Kat/Zoe reveal as well. I think it was during Lynne's wedding at the Vic, where Sharon was comforting all of the Slater's. A lot of the characters that were heavily featured during the 2003-2006 era seemed to be isolated from one another and rarely interacted much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2011 Members Share Posted June 12, 2011 I guess that was the start of the lack of character interaction under Santer. It's gotten a lot better over the last year - still not where it was at EE's best, but markedly better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
