I always thought people tended to underrate Jessie Wallace as an actress because of how "big" of a character Kat was and how "brassy" she could be. I don't think Kat would have come as alive with another actress, Jessie was just meant to play this role.

John Yorke is very fond of her, too, and Charlie Brooks as well. My girls. :lol::wub:

Spoilers and pics from next week's HORRIFIC teen week.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/eastenders/2010/05/picture-gallery-wc-31-may-2010.shtml

The only thing I'm looking forward to next week is next Friday's episode with the start of the Kirkwood era and Vanessa's entrance.

Also, though the Pat/Peeggy stuff is a bit ridiculous, I'm looking forward to the location stuff around London...

It's funny that Kirkwood is getting rid of both Zsa Zsa and Leon soon too. :lol:

I bet if Santer had stayed, they would have been the new "stars" of the teen set. He seemed very content with both characters.

Mercy was the only one with any promise on E20, so I don't mind them developing her more, which I guess saves Fatboy some time...

Yeah it's odd that the original plans for the E20 group coming to EE did not even involve Mercy. I'm not going to praise her before she's actually on the show but I did enjoy her on E20 and I'm hoping she can help fill a niche here, since the show needs more down-to-earth teen characters.

The first scenes for the E20 group were so horrible, sometimes I still wonder what was going on. Yet, you're probably right, if Santer had had his way it would have been Zsa Zsa and Leon, especially since Zsa Zsa had the Stacey/Whitney wannabe entrance.

That was also around the time poor Todd was abruptly dumped after many months of buildup. I guess we won't ever see him again.

Apparently they released two new photos of Glenda. I guess that doesn't mean anything (Leon just had two or three released) but hopefully it means she might stay around.

I can see them doing a lot with Lucy if they develop her more, and stop using her as a plot device.

I think Abi might also be better off if she's written in a bitchy manner. That scene where she was nasty to Ben was one of her better moments.

Here's another Anita Dobson video from 1987. ITV's Chart Show called this the worst video of the year. I don't know enough to say, but it is kind of annoying when she keeps mugging for the camera. The best part is when she turns into Brian May.

Stacey stabbing that blow up chair Mo got her while Heather was sitting on it in Tuesday's episode. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Stacey and Ryan scenes in the Vic were kind of good too.

Ryan: Yeah, she [Mo] reckons I look like Burt Reynolds...

Stacey: I don't see it, I told her you look more like James Dean.

Ryan: You think so?

Stacey: Yeah ... after the accident. :lol: :lol:

I actually didn't mind Whitney and Leon today... :mellow:

I assume these episodes were taped just a few weeks ago as Lacey is sporting the same hair she had at the British Soap Awards...

    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
