Members Vee Posted September 7, 2020 Members Share Posted September 7, 2020 Jessie Wallace has been such a mess for so many years, it's easy to forget how sharp her instincts could be. The fact that she screamed that line (her own choice, not the writers) has stayed with me for years. Sometimes you have to punch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 7, 2020 Members Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) @BetterForgotten sorry - I see what you meant. Yeah I think the cast have mostly long given up. The writing for Stacey has been terrible the last few years and doesn't seem likely to improve. Edited September 7, 2020 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 8, 2020 Members Share Posted September 8, 2020 So it returned last night. Grading on a curve and giving them some leeway to adjust to the new filming techniques, it was a fairly decent episode. Not sure if "fairly decent" is enough though. The overnights it got 3.35 million viewers, which is about a million viewers less than what it was getting in the Spring. So similar drop off that B&B and Y&R experienced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted September 8, 2020 Members Share Posted September 8, 2020 Did they have breaks from transmission and did their ratings improve once viewers realised they were back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 9, 2020 Members Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) They were off the air for about the same length that EastEnders was. Here's the link to the latest ratings thread: Y&R is still way down. B&B looks to have recovered somewhat, but both are still 1 million lower versus last year.

Members Forever8 Posted September 16, 2020 Members Share Posted September 16, 2020 Actually, I'm not surprised by this exit. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jake-wood-quits-eastenders-115512338.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted September 16, 2020 Members Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I'm not surprised either. Max hasn't really served any purpose since his revenge story flopped and was truncated by two years. Edited September 16, 2020 by Dion originally wrote 'truncated by a year' but then remembered it was originally supposed to go for 3 years so it was truncated by 2 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 16, 2020 Members Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm not surprised either. I never really liked Max much, so I'm personally not that upset, but it does suck to loose another familiar face though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I wasn't a big fan of Max either. I hope he isn't brutally murdered. EE just loves splashy deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 17, 2020 Members Share Posted September 17, 2020 The show said they won't be killing him off and will leave the door open to a return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Oh I loved Max, Tanya, Lauren and Abi.. this whole family was one of my favorites! I am glad they will not kill him off. Edited September 18, 2020 by Manny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 19, 2020 Members Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Well it looks EE is pulling a DAYS: Lacey hasn't returned yet and already announced she's leaving: Plus this rumor that could easily pass for our almost yearly "DAYS in Crisis" articles: Edited September 19, 2020 by wingwalker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted September 24, 2020 Members Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Distinct Nostalgia did a interview with Pete Dean (Who Played Pete Beale) from 1985-1993 https://distinctnostalgia.buzzsprout.com/650596/5590180-eastenders-at-35-albert-square-original-peter-dean-who-played-pete-beale-takes-a-trip-down-memory-lane Edited September 24, 2020 by Forever8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted September 26, 2020 Members Share Posted September 26, 2020 I did think of Days, but Lacey is pregnant again, so their isn’t really a “crisis”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted September 26, 2020 Members Share Posted September 26, 2020 I don't think Lacey going on maternity leave disproves the other story. The actor that plays Max, is a high paid actor, leaving the show and from the articles, sounds like it was a show decision. Adam who plays Ian, is the highest paid actor on the show, is going on a ten week "story dictated break". Actress who plays Sonia has yet to appear in a single new episode and the show has been back for 3 weeks. Judging from her social media, doesn't look like she's been filming much. While it might not be a crisis as dire as that article makes it sound like, I think there is very much some degrees of truth to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
