I am so happy you brought that up, AMS! Peggy certainily has no "the" in her vocabulary and it drives me batty. Thankfully, at present time, that has been done away with. But even still, it's weird for me to hear, Me instead of My. Grates on me, from time to time. LoL

At the end of episode eight, it seems Joe has gotten in a crash, is that what you're referring to, or are you talking about something that happens down the line?

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I've been watching these eps for months, but I've been going at them so slowly. But somehow, I'm on my fourth episode since last night. I might finish the first twenty by the end of the week.

But yeah, the no the's and no a's...they all do it, but Peggy just goes to town. I think I once heard Joe ask "Where's towel?" and they all say "...gone t' pub." It always sounds like they've given those objects names.

I like Andrew Burt quite a bit as Jack; he really hits the outsider role very well. The cast is very strong. Frazer Hines is a very underrated actor, to go from a role like Jamie McCrimmon to Joe Sugden. He doesn't look the age Joe was supposed to be (didn't they say Joe was like 18 or 19 or am I misremembering) but he still brings youthful energy to the role.

I love Annie, especially when she gives people what for, and I love her relationship with her father. She has to treat him as if he's one of her children, as he has that mischievous twinkle in his eye.

I'm catching up on some recent episodes and, while I really like Adam and it's great that a young man in this day and age can be so positive and lacking bitterness, I was annoyed when he kept going on at his father for the kiss with Eve. Yes it was wrong but John realized that immediately. He didn't exactly give her one in the Woolpack. I've known so many couples who have committed far more flagrant adulteries, and they would have probably ripped their child's head off if they had attitude like Adam was giving.

I haven't seen yesterday's show yet. Was Holly any less wooden than usual? I hope so, otherwise I wish they hadn't given her a major story.

Get her Viv!

OMG, Charity's actually alive! I have a gripe though. Why did they go out of their way of having them in the episode if they weren't going to be at The Dingle Dinner? Stuff like that infuriates me and this show does it ALL the time.

But again, please God, never take Charity away for that long again. I don't think I could bear it.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
