What a great episode today.

They're really going all out to show Scarlett is a dumbass. I wish they would get rid of her, as I find her completely unnecessary. She doesn't add much to Jimmy and Carl and the actress is terrible.

Loved the Chas/Charity/Moira scene and then Betty telling Moira that Alan's daughter is a psychopath :lol:

Seems Liz might be falling for Bob. If that is the case, I only want this to happen if Bob feels the same way.

The cherry on top of the episode were the Viv/Hazel scenes. Seeing Viv happy made me smile.

You're lucky, Carl. I didn't watch as often as I wanted to at all, but whenever I did, I'd watch two or three in a row because I just loved the look and feel of the show.

I guess I better get on the ball with Prisoner because who knows what's gonna disappear next. Some old Corrie episodes have vanished as well :(

That sucks. I really don't know who those episodes are harming, and it's not like they're available to people in the US anyway, in terms of being able to rent or buy them.

I got up to around the time that Janey and Frank were getting married and Mr. Verney knew about his wife sleeping with Jack. I guess that's not too many episodes but I would have enjoyed seeing the last few. That era of the show is so fascinating and so well acted and written and has such a strong atmosphere.

Since you saw them do you think you could write a quick summary of what happened in the last 5-6 episodes? I think the last one I saw was not long after Jack got back from another trip to London and went to the statement on Trash's death.

I watched them a bit ago. But mostly, Jack signs Emmerdale Farm over to his family with Joe/Annie/Peggy/Wilks all getting a share. He chooses to just be a silent partner. Peggy has her baby. Alison and Wilks get engaged. And, the Sugdens find out Sharon was murdered and have a funeral for her.

Oh, and Trash's daughter (Penny) comes to town. She finds out of her dad's death in her second episode, I think. Joe takes a liking to her. The family fears history (Marian) will repeat itself as Jack flirts with her. Penny is a love all, hate nothing almost hippy like character. So Joe thinks he's lost out again, but she makes it clear to him that she likes him too. Then Jim Latimer returns to town. As Penny is now helping Jack fix up his place (the one where he let Trash live with him) Jim frequents it to help her.

Details are kind of sketchy for me now. I know Jim ends up trying to attack Peggy at one point but I forget if something more happens to her.

And the Verneys leave town together.

Hopefully someone will put a torrent up of the DVD's soon. I'll cross my fingers for you both.

    • 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.
