Adam Thomas was the best looking male of the night.

Michael Parr needs to burn that tie. I have a severe aversion to all things animal print. There is never an excuse.

Danny Miller's hair was something awful.

It was nice to see Nico Mirallegro, but he is much better suited to the shaved head he was sporting for awhile.

Also, why Kym Marsh? It tickles to think that she may have had some sort of run in with Charley Webb.

Bob.

Absolutely superb scenes today with Cain and Marlon. Shadrach was a character who stayed far too long and only really worked for me when he was close to Laurel and Ashley - there was more effective use of him today, long dead, than most of the time he was alive.

Jeff Hordley's a great actor because he doesn't just show up to work when he can play Cain's Greatest Hits. He's always willing to play the quieter, more nuanced moments too, which is why the character manages to evolve and still have an edge, even after spending the last 6 months saving widows and orphans.

Anyway, this casting news makes me wonder if BE's favorite is on the way back:

Makes sense, although I don't know who would give a pet turtle to Val, let alone a child. I hope they laugh her out of court.

I guess now we know why she said a few months ago that she had a nightmare about Kyle.

Charlotte Bellamy, thank you.

The directors of the other soaps desperately need to study Emmerdale, with all the shots they constantly give us of their men sprawled out like a prize. Thank you.

Kerry's reaction when Amelia told her she loved her was very touching. I am so, so happy that she's come so far. The girl that plays Amelia is a gem.

I love that (the men spread out that way).

I've only watched the first one so far but Charlotte is superb. Mark Charnock isn't bad either. And Jeff Hordley is great. I'm surprised at how much is focusing on his past and his child abuse, very surprised they brought Zak into it. I wonder if we're heading for a Cain meltdown.

Laurel...you're a HAWT mess...did she kill the dog offscreen by running the poor thing over with her car? So sad...

NBA leave my man ALONE. He don't want yah! Go back to Jamal!

Are Cain and Laurel's husband brothers? How are they related? I do like this caring side to Cain even though he's pretty unattractive.

Uhhh ohhh I'm terrified after Emma's accident that she's about to have that meltdown Carl keeps warning and warning about like a self fulfilling prophecy...DAMN IT.

This may be me seeing things that aren't there, but I loved how Rhona's eyes lit up when Cain approached her, unable to hide her real life love for him. Like David and Debbie, it always fascinates me when they're allowed to interact with each other, though always very rare and brief.

Cain unattractive wacko.png You're lucky you didn't see him when he had that awful Cousin Itt hair.

Cain and Marlon are cousins. Marlon is from another branch of the Dingle family, with his father briefly appearing about 15 years ago, and his brother Eli being a regular from 2006-2010.

Charlotte Bellamy was so damn good in tonight's episodes, especially that last scene with Marlon. Saying "maybe this is a good thing" gave me chills. The mania and the loss of any life in her eyes was even worse. I really wish she was up for a panel award.

And BE, I hope you were as happy as I was at that brief Doug and Leyla scene. It was almost like the old days. I love that little group, with David and Alicia too.

Emma - that plot was tough to take seriously thanks to Chas' dancing, which cracked me up, as did her blase reaction to Emma's mugging, and the earlier scene with Finn trying to take Aaron's beer bottle in case he got upset again.

It's a shame they did such a terrible job casting and writing James - he sticks out so much in these types of moments.

Anyway, this was put up today:

Yes, Doug and Leyla. Lord knows I've went on about how much I love their relationship. When the plans didn't work out, it felt like a loss.

Regarding the Laurel scene as well, you always manage to bring up what I mean to when I watch, but somehow forget watching all the soaps in one sitting. Though that shouldn't be an excuse since I always leave Emmerdale (the best) for last.

Nick Miles mentioning he loved Treme. Good to know he was one of the 4 people who were watching with me. I do like Amy Walsh and think she is talented, but Tracy is such an empty character and with Walsh saying her contract is up in the summer, who exit during the big story seems imminent. If she does die, I wonder if it will just be to add to the numbers of if they'll make it mean something, somehow.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.

      She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
