   Maybe this could be the start of a movement. 

I honestly can't remember, but I don't think so. Not that it would have mattered. Cain, like the rest of that clan, always gets away with everything. And then they pass judgment on others. Yuck, I can't stand them!!!

I'd have him find out and start a campaign to kick the Dingles out of the village once and for all.

Adam would return from being on the run and finally feeling guilty enough to be a good mother, Moira takes the rightful rap for Emma's death. Then proceed with an Adam/Victoria/Daz Eden triangle!

And so many more characters would return that belong on the show. Joe, Viv, Terry back from the dead, Kathy, Matt, Dolly, Andy, Robert, Sandy, the forgotten Merrick (was his name Tommy?), one of Marian's children/grandchildren to be the new owners of The Woolpack, Emily to be the new Vicar, Scott, Kelly, Nikhil, Priya. The correct children associated with them. People of colour anywhere it can be achieved. Let's have a field day!

The show is just completely gutted. I don't even think it matters who goes at this point. There are some characters who still have value, like Laurel, but the show never knows what to do with them.

Jokes aside, it has always concerned me how these shows shove a newer "core" family down the viewers' throats while forgetting the actual core family of the show (in this case, the Sugdens). 

And they are just now getting around to killing Zak? Didn't Steve Halliwell pass in 2023?

And boy did they shove the Dingles down our throats with a vengeance back then. They showed up out of nowhere and infested the whole show, like rodents.  

What made it even worse was that they were so incredibly unlikeable and off-putting right from the start. I guess they were trying for some kind of hillbilly comedy, but that fell completely flat, at least for me. The way they behaved like pigs at Joe's funeral would be enough in itself but unfortunately that was just the tip of the iceberg. It still makes my skin crawl.

I all fairness, it took them a long while to address Annie's status after Sheila Mercier's death as well. (No other comparison of course. Annie was a legend, and Zak was....well, a Dingle)

But I think Annie's is different b/c she was off the canvas for so long, so they could execute that story at any time. Do I agree with that? No. I just feel like soaps need to address deaths right then or at least pay homage. But that's just me. 

And while the Dingles don't unnerve me as most, I do hold a lot of the same sentiments that they do eat the whole show. There's too many of them. About 90% of them can go at this point and no one would tell they are gone. I'd only keep Cain (b/c of Moira), Sam, and Marlon. The rest could go. Aaron, Chas, and Charity should've been ditched a LONG time ago. I just feel that with every Dingle on cast, that spot should be occupied by a Sugden or Merrick.

Only time I loved some of the Dingles was during the 2000‘s when Debbie (which I hate normally) in a Lovestory with Jasmine played by Jenna Coleman. 
Charity‘s first exit. 
Belle and Lachlan‘s story and belles mental illness. 
 

Belle Dingle is the only Dingle worth keeping

I wish they would’ve built more to the King Family.

i don’t think it’s their actors fault to be honest. But we will never get rid of them coz the people from the UK will always love Cain and the Dingles and vote them as best family at every award show there is

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.

      The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.

      It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.

      There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you!

      Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.

      This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.

      Yeah.  Let's just move on and talk about Jagger....lol 100% agree on the Sonny situation.  Mostly because I want Sonny to get a murder charge so he can just go live on an island with Brenda. I think Tracy did do a lot to explain Jason's perspective on AJ's murder.  I truly think that's how Jason justifies it in his own head. I don't think he was lying about his feelings.  They are just wrong.

      I will never get over Sonny killing a fed in cold blood and everyone just shrugging when it wasn’t Alexis.    And then last week you had Jason white washing Sonny murdering AJ in cold blood to Gio.

      I thought it was impolite to stare directly at the car crash.  Consider it like polite cocktail chatter while our hosts bicker in the kitchen
