Really? This show is starting to do lookalikes now? OK... I guess we'll see where this goes. 

 

Dan better not leave this year! I do wish that Kerry would go as I've been over that broad for the longest. I'd be OK with the White clan leaving too.

Watching it was eerie as she even talks like Holly. I have a feeling she's going to just end up using Jai and maybe Moira but I hope not as I'd hate for Holly's memory to be exploited that way. 

 

It's hard to say with the cast because they've had a big cast for a while now and with ever-lowering budgets and ratings for soaps you wonder how long that can last. I just hope that none of my favorite supporting people who never have enough to do end up going. If anyone like Leyla or Bernice left I'd really have to question watching. They can have the Whites though...

I have the same sentiments. Leave Bernice, Leyla, and Dan alone. I think we've both been in agreement that the White need to go. 

 

I hope they don't use this chick to exploit Moira. Again, I'm over her being miserable. I wanna see her be happy for once. 

Well I have a feeling she'll be having a baby soon anyway...

 

Have you seen any of the Cain/Harriet stuff? 

I've seen some of the Cain/Harriet stuff. From the spoilers earlier this year, she is the last person I'd suspect him with. Right now I am on the fence, but we'll see where this goes. 

And so Ashley's Death Week commences....

 

The little boy who plays Arthur is breaking my heart but the old ham who plays Ashley's father is back to chewing the scenery. It's cringeworthy. Dude, you ain't playing King Lear.

 

Was Chas running off to Mauritius with Liv a sudden write-out? If she's not back for Aaron's return then I guess we'd have our answer.

Lucy Pargeter is pregnant with twins. She'll be back in several months. The girl who plays Liv left for schooling.

 

Alfie Clarke (Arthur) is doing a swim for dementia:

Thanks for the link, Carl. How wonderful is that?

 

I do think that, along with an Emmerdale sweep, that Alfie Clarke wins the BSA for Best Young Performer. The kid who plays Denny on EE is just a one-dimensional smirking robot.

 

ETA: what was with the cross-fade between pub scenes during tonight's episode? Has the show done this in recent memory?

i don't think it was Robert that got Rebecca pregnant. If they indeed slept together then it wouldn't have shown up since it has barely been a month

I hope he didn't knock her ass up. 

 

Despite him being bisexual, I'd for once like to think the writers wouldn't use this lazy trope to cause tension between Robert & Aaron.

They always seem to do with mostly every same-sex couple

 

@DRW50, I am not ready!  I am gonna be a total wreck when I watch this.

Damn. I am bawling. I knew this was gonna happen, which is why I tried delaying watching this episode for the longest. 

 

I am sorry but I don't like this Jai plot. I get he is supposed to be getting over the loss of Holly, but I hate it. I hate that poor Jai is about to be used and abused yet again. 

 

Glad that the writers took this moment to get Adam and Victoria started on their baby making. Out of all the soap couples in the world, I want a little bundle of joy for these two. Someone has to carry the Sugden legacy! 

 

Ashley... The scene where he looked at all his family pictures before succumbing to death killed me. When Laurel found him, I became even more hysterical. Then they pulled the camera panning upwards to indicate Ashley had safely ascended into heaven and I died. It reminded of Jack's death on Corrie. Just beautifully done. What I found also beautiful was that Ashley was surrounded by the people he loved the most: Sandy, Bernice, Arthur, Laurel, and Gabby. I just hate that poor Gabby didn't say her goodbyes. I feel like that is gonna haunt her going forward, and I am interested to see how it affects her. 

 

Just a subtle, beautiful episode. 

 

God I am gonna miss John Middleton/Ashley. This show has lost a pillar. Excuse me while I go cry some more. 

It was, of course, a very touching episode but I did find myself fast-forwarding through the scenes with "the whole gang" with Ashley-I just wanted it to be him and his family. And alright, having him "recognize" Laurel at the very end was probably unrealistic in the extreme but I think it was really the only way they could have ended their storyline together.
