Robert was involved with Debbie too and he never interacts with her, so it doesn't mean anything. But there are other reasons why Scott is not likely to ever return. 

 

The main issue with the Sugdens is there aren't even any left to bring back, unless Kelvin Fletcher decides he wants to return. This is where the show could bring in new Sugdens, but I doubt they will bother. 

 

I like Dan a lot, and I like Kerry, but I think their stories have reached a natural conclusion (unless they keep Kerry around to take her grandson Kyle). I'd write the family out and bring back more Merricks.

 

I have to admit by Cain standards I thought he was fairly reasonable - in years past he would have dangled him off a ledge. Still, I have no sympathy for Debbie and it's time for Cain to not have to be involved in her messes.

Very much yes to that!

I really shouldn't be laughing, but it's a perfect description of why Cain's actions were those of a massive hypocrite. He would have done exactly what Ross did if he had been in his shoes.

I've enjoyed the Charity/Ryan stuff this week. Emma Atkins is a wonderful actress and I never tire of seeing her on screen.

My issue with Emmerdale is that there are stray bits which are great, but the whole hasn't been as exciting for me as it once was in the last six to nine months. I do hope the new work is being phased in as the MacLeod's stories fade out.

The Spencer drama just isn't clicking for me (I feel like the actors aren't engaged with it). I'm no fan of Joe Tate and that drama. I wish Debbie would stop crying and do something. BUT I love the chaos Laurel & Bob have wrought on the village which should play out for years to come as it involves legacy characters, their children, and their families.

Nope. He can't. Everything in that synopsis stems from the character, their drives, hopes, ambitions, and that's what makes just that synopsis compelling. Imagine seeing it on your screen six times a week!! Thrilling! 

Now we have a muddy, directionless mess of a show: What does Joe Tate actually want now that he has revenge on Debbie? What's Vanessa's purpose? What is Lachlan's goal besides killing people? Isn't he still in school? Does Aaron have any other life ambitions other than Liv and Robert? And don't get me started on poor, neglected, aimless Victoria Sugden...

    • Full statement from city of Glendale https://www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/9293/16
    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
    • I need to go and find less.
