This was one of the few episodes where I heavily sympathized with Ali and the Spencers, instead of seeing them as grating filler. And i even understood Rachel's position. Even Jai wasn't completely vile.

So glad Georgia is finally gone. She left on a good note. I hope we won't see her anytime soon.

I'd forgotten how much I missed the Barton brothers together - they're all very different so when they are together you get a complete puzzle. Ross had some classic lines throughout the big reveal.

James is disgusting, blaming Emma for his adultery. I hate him.

Robert not texting Aaron to break the date was poorly written idiot plotting, but at least it believably helped set up Aaron's rage. Miller did a good job there. It felt like a real scene, as did the reactions in the pub, even if the injuries ended up being the usual fantasy soapland nonevent where James will be dancing a jig by the weekend.

Here's Alan Convy (Donny) in another role in 2013 (starts around 2 minutes in). I miss Bernice in the pub...

Paula Tilbrook (Betty) is retiring, and will return for a few episodes in May for Betty's exit story.

I kept seeing fans insist they kill Betty to end her story, and I have no idea why. There's nothing wrong with a character leaving town alive. It means they can live on always.


Did you enjoy yesterday's episodes? Ross had a lot of good one-liners in the second one.

Betty is my favourite character on the show. No matter how long her absences have been lately, whenever she turned up she owned the screen. I also don't see what killing her will serve. If they do kill her, I hope she urges Victoria to find Seth's body in the woods so they can be buried side by side.

However, it is nice to see that Tilbrook is leaving on her own terms. Good for her.

    • Yes, just so.  Thanks for the info. I could tell this was going to be a big thing with ShawnD in this danger! Especially love that the little guy is Andrew!
    • I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.
    • Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career. 
    • hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for. 
    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
    • Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.
    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success.
