Yeah, I'm keeping that whole random outcome in mind. Complete let down that was.

So far Lucy's murder has been written better - the emotional fallout at least. It does have a good creative edge over other murder mysteries, which usually follow a formulaic pattern.

Yes! I'm glad that she's getting showcased more nowadays. I felt that past regimes didn't know what to do with her. I'm glad that DTC might see her as being one of his crown jewels (along with Adam Woodyatt and Lindsey Coulson)

I thought I was the only one that felt that way. :P I really feel that this character is pointless and hope her days are numbered.

What is it with EE and creating obnoxious disabled characters? I really don't get why she needs to be a regular character - recurring at best. It feels unnecessary having Bianca and Kat involved in another war with a market trader.

Hi, everybody, I had the great (albeit exhausting) pleasure of reading posts here dating from 2008 onwards beginning last Thursday. Well, I finally caught up now and am ready to post. I've been really impressed with all of you, particularly Y&RWorldTurner, DRW50, Ben, Edward Skylover, Ann_SS , sylph among many others. I hope I can contribute something of interest here and/or to simply express an opinion.

I have very mixed feelings about the Lucy murder mystery. On the positive side it's already brought in the issue of internet trolling and Diane Parish got to give one of the performances of her EE life in last night's episode, as a result. However, if other boards are any indication, I'm fairly alone in my opinion that the Phil/Ian scene on Friday's episode was a piece of phony baloney which I didn't buy for a second.

I look forward to parrying back and forth with you all. In a respectful manner, of course!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Reading all those posts from 2008 (OK, I might have skimmed through some discussions of Kat/Alfie) I found it fascinating reading predictions/views/fantasies about certain storylines/characters. For instance, was it you, DRW50, who surmised that when Shabnam returned she would be a more severe, religious young lady? That was right on the money!

Anyway, thanks again. I really enjoyed reading through the posts and look forward to some good to-ing and fro-ing.

You should, DRW50. Heh. So who do you think Lucy's murderer is? The moment Pam Coker asked Alfie for the black arm band and he declared that she was "lovely" she shot right up to the top of my suspects list and that was a few days before the Twitter "spoiler."

Well, Terry's leaving in a few months but I think he might actually end up being a victim.

Yep, that Stan (Timothy West) ain't fooling anyone. Dude can walk.

I think it's a tad premature to declare that EE going through a "golden era" but I love Grace Dent's writing, anyway.

the fact the guy who wrote the spoiler keeps promoting it on another site, makes me think 100% from his head. Not that it couldnt happen lol

I saw the Pam/Alfie scene as her clever way of making more money on her flower stall, as if she also refused noone would by from her to leave outside Ian's.

      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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Maxim · Posted

      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.

      Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go...

      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.
