I love Natasha and Declan secretly fooling around. You just know Cain will find out and blackmail them. LoL Though I don't see why Declan didn't tell Natasha of Nathan's blackmail and then just wait until the deal he needs is complete so he could openly be with her again.

Maisie and Nikhil was sweet as hell. Of course, now we know he has some secret in his past. :) Speaking of pasts, I wonder if Mark's death will be something they keep a secret for a long time or something that will come out relatively soon. If this were Bill Bell, we'd have to wait 5 years, at least. LoL

I almost yakked at the sight of the cow being hurt. Gross. It seems there may be some credence to my hope that Holly will overdose and die.

I think Declan isn't telling her because he doesn't want the whole thing to become even more of a big issue, and he knows that she may want to keep their affair a secret no matter what, because of the affect it will have on Will and Nathan. I'm surprised they are being so open about it. I thought they might at least fake a few fights.

I really enjoyed almost all of Wednesday's episode. How many soaps do you watch where you enjoy almost every scene? I loved the bickering between Declan and Edna. I'm glad that someone finally told Adele that Andy beat his wife -- I thought the show might have just decided to drop that. The Barton drama didn't do that much for me although the scenes where John was ransacking Holly's room were very good. Apparently the one thing the actress who plays Holly can do right is wail. I was annoyed by Moira, she was more interested in finger-pointing than in her daughter's well-being.

Nikhil is adorable. I wonder if he's a virgin and that's why he's so nervous around Maisie.

Did you notice that lingering shot of John's ass when he was looking in the car? I love it :wub:

I wonder if they would have done something with Louise killing Ray if the woman who played Louise hadn't had to leave so abruptly. Her exit was...very odd.

Some of the Emmerdale actors posted videos on Twitter where they did RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) bows. Some are funnier than others (my favorite is probably from James Thornton) but here they are. You may want to mute your volume first though, then turn the volume down on the Twitvid thing, as it's up at full blast.

Poor David, he's just too sexy for his own good.

As for Holly, I shall plead, overdose, overdose, overdose AND die! :)

Why was Alan in a suit? He doesn't do anything.

ETA: On a shallow note, did you people SEE Andy's arms? Wow, wow, wow!

Andy's arms looked very nice (although the back end is his best feature -- Emmerdale more than any other soap is the one where men in tight jeans are way too distracting). I liked his scenes with Adele, I think more could be done with this, with his regret, but at least they mentioned it again. I could have done without the part where he said he didn't take any pleasure out of abusing his wife, or whatever he said. Adele's not the best actress but she's decent and she has some rapport with Andy. She also seems to have strong arms of her own...

David has been a bumbler for several years now, all the way back to his comic schemes with Nicola, but I'm surprised he didn't realize what this Tania woman was doing, setting him up. I wish they'd just gone for an affair story instead. She's a bit fake but she is attractive (nice cheekbones) and rich -- David would probably be tempted.

Holly was a little better on Friday's episode. I'm glad the writers are having both Moira and John as making mistakes with Holly. I hope they aren't going to go there again with Moira/Marlon though. Adam Thomas did a good job in those scenes where Adam got Holly to come home. He's so good at the puppy dog eyes, and listening, and pleading. Does the girl Holly spends time with remind you of anyone? She's like a cross between Michaela from Hollyoaks and Victoria.

I felt sorry for Doug on Friday, mostly when he realized Victoria was also no longer in his life. It was nice to see more of Alan. This is what a vet does for a show, they may not have a lot of story, but they're a comforting presence.

I like the Nicola/Jimmy scenes where they are friendly more than when she snaps at him. Overall I enjoyed most of their scenes, and the stuff with Laurel and Nicola. One of the most believable friendships in soap. I did laugh when Jimmy was looking at his gut and when he talked about his wedding with Sadie.

Has Nicola's mother ever been on the show?

There are rumors going around that

I'm glad David didn't go through with it. Blythe has done way too many cheating/almost cheating storylines since I've been watching, which hasn't even been a year.

We've had ...

Natasha/Mark/Faye

Katie/Ryan/Maisie

Laurel/Ashley/Sally

David/Leyla/Nathan

John/Moira/Marlon

Paddy/Chas/Carl

Moria/John/Eve

Sam/Olena/Eli

Jamie/Gennie/Bob/Viv

It's too much, IMO.

Holly doesn't really remind me of anyone offhand. However, I'm totally mesmerized by her eyes. Absolutely beautiful/mesmerizing. The show should use that to their advantage.

I meant Holly's friend, Rosie or, is that her name?

They've had a lot of cheating stories but most of them haven't been about someone being in a happy relationship and then being attracted to someone else.

That's one of the reasons I was hoping for more with Moira/John/Eve, I thought that could have had more dramatic potential if built over a longer period of time.

Aw, Kevin Fletcher as a child!

Nick's girlfriend was creepy. Was she off her rocker?

Kim Tate = Fabulous. That Frank wasn't really a great actor eh?

And who was that guy who almost killed himself? I kind of wanted him to get it over with already. But by the end of the episode, with his talk with Andy, I kind of grew to like him. That brunette chick he was with sounds eerily like Katie. And that girl that was being teased reminds me a lot of Hannah.

I don't like Mandy. She's too much for me.

When I see Frank I'm always distracted by his bad rug (I hope it's a rug).

Mandy was very OTT and very polarizing. Even now when people say bring her back, someone makes a :ph34r: face.

Was Nick still on the show at this time?

The guy who almost killed himself was Biff Fowler. He thought he was going to give his unborn child a serious disease. He didn't, he turned out to not have the gene (his father had died of the disease), but his wife Linda lost their baby, and later that year, her life.

He was close friends with Betty and Betty's partner Seth. He last returned to the show for Seth's funeral.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
