That Pam look-alike supporting artist is really starting to bug me now. Why was she put in a floral print blouse and placed prominently behind Max at the cafe? And will someone PLEASE give that Chinese lady a job? All she ever does is shop.

I saw Aaron Sidwell on stage in the musical Grey Gardens where he played the dual roles of the eldest Kennedy son (the one who was killed in World War II) and a Long Island slacker. He was terrific. I'm glad he's returning to theatre work.

So out of all the story possibilities for Jay to have, they rewrite his history and Jase is no longer his dad?

So stupid. 

 

Whatever happened to that Star girl? Did she ever come clean about her part in lying to Jay about her age? If not, why not undo making Jay being a sexual predator by having her come clean? How about bringing a nice young woman on the Square for him? 

 

This "story" is gonna be more about Phil than it is gonna be about Jay.

@Nothin'ButAttitude Star just disappeared from the canvas. "Bex and Star go to Ben's 21st birthday party but Jay insists she leaves. Star tells Jay that she still has feelings for him and went to the party so she could see him again, and tells Jay that Madison, who Jay has been talking to at the party, is 15 and he therefore knew what he was doing with Star and is now doing it again."

As if a gas explosion, an arson attack and a shooting weren’t enough, there is even more tragedy ahead in EastEnders when an ambulance carrying Johnny and Linda Carter crashes, leaving their lives hanging by a thread.

The massive week of Walford action sees a chain of tragic events unfold and not everyone will come out alive – and the Grim Reaper appears to be looming over Johnny in particular.

We have already seen the pictures from filming scenes which see the ambulance crash into a tanker and overturn and eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that Johnny was sporting an existing wound.

Now, call us Sherlock Holmes, but it seems likely that it was a gunshot wound, meaning that Johnny could be the one on the receiving end of a bullet from Ted Murray.

 
Johnny dies in EastEnders shooting and tanker crash horror?
(Picture: BBC)

Ted is left in a panic as the gas explosion brings back horrific memories so he grabs the pistol that his wife Joyce had implored him not to bring to their new home.

When a resident then comes to find them amid the chaos, he opens fire and accidentally shoots someone.

Whether or not this is what happens to Johnny remains to be seen but a further stunt is afoot as the ambulance crashes and Mick looks on in dismay as emergency services wheel out a lifeless Johnny.

Have the Carters lost one of their own?

One to watch: Friday 8th September at 8pm on BBC One.

Edward, I met her about 14 years ago when I was at Elstree meeting a friend. It was a distinctly unpleasant experience. Out of all the EE actors I've met over the years, both in person and over the phone, she and Sid Owen stand out to me as the ones who I've been most unimpressed by. What they both seemed to have in common was...well, they exemplified the term "common." Both were grubby, humorless a**holes who seemed to have no interest in anyone or anything beyond the immediate world in which they inhabited. Which is pretty unusual as far as actors go-their curiosity is sometimes a major factor in how they work.

    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
    • Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.
