Yeah I comment too much, I can't help it, sometimes I worry that the person uploading thinks no one cares. :lol: I love those early episodes but I don't want to go through them too fast. I should though. I especially enjoy the family atmosphere and the scenes with Sam or Annie or Matt. I look forward to the Jack scene -- they did something similar about 15 years later when Frank Tate whipped and kicked a man who had an affair with his wife Kim.

I wonder if this is the last time they showed Home Farm until the early 80s when Alan Turner moved in.

Frazer Hines revealed today that he's been battling cancer for eleven years.

Frazer Hines is such a delight in these episodes. What a fighter. I got mad respect for him now. There's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be on the show today. He's kind of like Tony DiMera (Days) in the sense that he was a long running popular character who, to my knowledge and surprise, was never given a child to live on his legacy.

That look Natasha gave Faye at the end of today's episode was completely bone chilling!

Actually, I really enjoyed today's episode. Loved Will today. His line about Viv scaring him was hilarious.

That Amber chick has a really weird accent. It bothers me.

Val continues to be one of my favorites. They showed many layers to character today that endeared me even more to her.

I will have to watch these last few episodes soon.

I really like Val. I don't know if you've seen the 2004-2005 stuff with her but she had some great moments, although she was a real wild card back then, a tornado. I think Anita Turner made her too much of a joke, and that turned some against Val, but Charlie Hardwick is a wonderful actress and she has such a special bond with Diane. I hope that Val will have more to do eventually.

First pics of Jimmy and Nicola being the new owners of The Woolpack:

I've never found Nicola Wheeler to be an attractive woman. Her nose bothers me and her body and head especially seems weirdly shaped. Her current hairstyle is very unflattering too.

You should have seen Nicola 5-6 years back! She had very short, chopped up hair, like a warped cereal bowl was on her head, and she also had braces. That photo is awful (and it looks cheap -- the lighting is shocking), but I actually think she's looked much better in recent years -- probably her best look was around 2008 when she had long hair which also had a wave.

I don't like the idea of Jimmy and Nicola running the Woolpack. Nicola Wheeler has even said she thinks Nicola would be a horrible landlady. I can see Jimmy enjoying himself but Nicola would never stoop to running a pub.

I hope that is the case. But I must say, I do favor the fact that UK soaps can keep spoilers hidden from us. I mean, this Charlie story has been going on for quite some time and we still don't know how it will end. I refuse to believe he'll just die and she'll return. What would be the point?

I am now saddened. I finished up the first 52 episodes just now. The Sharon, Trash/Penny, Alison stories really made the show much more interesting from a plot level. I know there is a new DVD coming out sometime this year, so hopefully the person will upload those episodes as well. Now that I'm done with those though I'm going to let myself take a look at the some of the other episodes she has.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
