Yeah - maybe it's one of those grass is greener things. It's just fascinating to me. I get the feeling from what I've read on Youtube comments that the UK has cut down on much of this, but they still at least have the idents and things. I guess some networks here still have those but they're so generic. The BBC in particular has some great idents. And all the lingo that you have to work out, like stings and all the rest.

BE, I thought you may like this, as a Donna fan. It's Verity Rushworth's first episode. I also have her second, but I'm probably taking that one down and reuploading it to put the advertisements in other videos.

Can't blame her...although she and Ross just don't have the chemistry to make this forbidden passion work.

The best part of the episode for me was the kind way Andy treated Bernice. It was nice to see Samantha Giles get something a little more serious, and while I'm not sure if she and Andy would work as a proper couple (I don't really think they were the last time around?), I think they work well together. I like how he is simultaneously bemused and a little horrified by her.

Finn also had some great lines. "Hi...angry Dingle men."

Chris Bisson (Jai) and his partner are having a baby. I guess the new in thing to do is have your other kids take cute photos or videos.

Haven't seen it myself, but people are saying Charlie Hardwick (Val) was on Loose Women today and announced her departure.

Lots of actors leaving...

I wonder if they'll kill Val off or have her split with Eric and move to be with Paul.

I wonder what they'll do with Eric. David will be back, but otherwise his entire family is gone. I don't think he could believably go back to being weasely scheming Eric. Maybe they'll do a Doug/Diane/Eric triangle?

NO! I do not accept this blasphemy. Emoticons are failing me. Who is going to wrangle/mentor/aggrandize the younger people in the village now? The show is losing a great unique take on the soap matriarch and I will miss her so much.

With Kyle coming back into the village, I was looking forward to what may have come between Eric/Val, Cain and Kerry. Betty, Alicia and now Val. This show is killing me, but I still love it to bits.

I think she and Pete had decent chemistry for a low-key couple living their lives. I guess the show wanted more, as Debbie is a leading heroine, but you can be a leading heroine and still have an everyday type of relationship. I've heard some fans say she should be with Andy and the chemistry is amazing, but beyond the fact that I never saw any chemistry between them, their relationship creeps me the hell out.

The only real chemistry I have seen with Charley Webb is with other women - I wish someone would win a dozen lotteries and bring Jenna Coleman back.

I hope the show will still have a few moments with Val and Kyle before she goes. I have a feeling she may go on the run (if she doesn't go to prison), as their website mentioned the fraud she committed with Bob.

So many people have left this year and that isn't counting the people who are likely going to be killed off in the explosion.

It's sadly ironic that the show that didn't need a cull is getting one.

(of course, other than Sammy Winward, no one who really was taking up space has gone...if anything most of the drabber characters, like Jai, seem to be staying around. Well, at least Rachel will be gone soon, so that's better than nothing).

Why does her relationship with Andy creep you out? And Andy is the father of one of her kids right? Andy as a character pisses me off. He's so sexy but he's so weak and useless. i'd hate to be in Bernices shoes with a stud like that who has a lot to live for and yet is just borderline neanderthal and just follows everything stupid Robert says.

He doesn't interact with Robert enough to follow what he says.

Their relationship creeps me out because it began when she was about 15 years old. She was in love with him and pursued him. He knew it was wrong, but he gave into his lust and loneliness, only to later reject her after they'd already had sex numerous times.

Years later, they had sex again, for a baby that would be a match for a dying Sarah. Even though it was for no other reason, he fell in love with her.

Andy tends to either be submissive or abusive and controlling. There's not a lot of in-between.

I wanted the show to try Andy and Debbie for awhile, but then the awful story with Sarah's illness came along and it was apparent that would be a terrible idea. The actors truly don't have any romantic chemistry together. I've mentioned numerous times that they should try Debbie with another woman. I actually think Carly would be a great option.

Is Charity Debbie's mother??? And is Andy the father of both Debbie's kids? I know she has that little boy and girl. I remember her going in on Andy a while back when he was in the doldrums

Man my second husband Kirin is really struggling. Get it together boo....

Love how Ross goes from sad little boy to fierce angry in a split second. He's so nasty tho to want Debbie and sleep with Carly immediately.

What was Andys age at the time. That does sound weird/sad but I mean if they were both 15/17 sometimes kids do idiotic things at young ages.

LOL I love how righteous indignant Zack and his wife acted towards Pete. Something about those two makes me care about them and Belle. Even though Cain is garbage and I'm not a huge fan of Moira.

Kudos to Debs tho for the "Saint Flippin Moira" line...absolutely dead

    • 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.
