So, she's basically playing her character from Birds of A Feather...

Anyway, some scheduling changes for the ITV soaps next week. The lineup for Thursday night will be switched to Wednesday, and Wednesday's lineup will be played on Thursday. This is due to ITV's football coverage next week.

I'm really disappointed in the way they have written this storyline so far. Aaron and Jackson show absolutely NO affection towards each other - not physical, not in how they speak to each other or how they look at each other. We know nothing about their relationship. We know nothing about their characters. The most we get is forced banter, or a scene where Aaron acts like a jackass and then Jackson gets over it. There is some speculation that the only point of this storyline is to show that Aaron can't handle a relationship, but it just makes Aaron look childish and pathetic, and repeats the same scenes he has already had a dozen times, and since the show is not actually letting us see ANYTHING of this relationship, why should we care about what happens to it or to the people involved? Even when the relationship ends, why should we care about what happens to Aaron, as the show has made clear that even IF he has another relationship we won't be seeing any of it?

There's a lot of speculation that

The funny thing is I like Jackson more and more even though he isn't actually a character and likely has no future on the show, at the same time as I'm not all that interested in Aaron at the moment. It's like Kieron and John Paul on Hollyoaks all over again, presumably minus the horrific murder by a long lost relative.

Hmm, just speculating, but maybe Alicia's son could actually be Leyla's?

I wonder if that Terry/Rodney scene had any merit or if it was just filler. It was nice to see either way.

I love when we get to see the more playful side of Aaron with the veterans like Doug and Pearl. They are the moments I most look forward to with him.

Random comment ... I think it could be good if once Nicola realizes owning The Woolpack isn't for her, that Diane still decides to sell it and the person she would sell it too would be one of Marian Wilks' children who wants to honour his grandfather, or something to that effect (affect?) I always get those two confused. :unsure:

I think that's a great idea. I wish the show explored more of their past. Aside from Eve, they don't seem very interested.

I also think that putting Terry back at the Woolpack would make sense.

I haven't seen a lot of the last few weeks, I felt like I needed a break. Tell me, are they going to pair Ryan up with his "hot" female prison guard? That's like something off of Oz, unfortunately minus the gratuitous male nudity.

My dislike for Scarlett continues. She's just pitiful really.

Eve continues to be a slutbag, but I love it. I'm thinking her going after Carl is just a game. She definitely has ulterior motives.

I really growing to like Hannah. It was a good decision to write her first relationship with a boy coming into play at such a dramatic time in her family's life. It's a good balance. However, the woman that plays Moira just isn't that strong of an actress.

Nicola was annoying today. This Pub SL is kind if making me hate her.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.  
    • Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
