Matt Smith reiterated again in a recent interview that he is contracted through to 2014. This apparently includes, from what we've heard, at least part of Series 8 in the autumn of next year, the anniversary special, and the following Christmas special. Everyone is speculating as to whether he will go beyond that. We just don't know. He seems game.

She's done very well since Who frankly shortchanged her as part of its Rose hangover. (They made up for it the following year and with the Torchwood offer, but still) Lots of work here and there. I'm so glad, I always just loved her. I think she'll end up being an elegant beauty and working well into old age.

Thoughts on "The Bells of Saint John"? I thought it was great but Moffat's misogynistic humor was back. (Monk asks if someone is evil, Doctor says she's a woman, monk crosses himself.) I still like Clara and I liked the concept of the souls being sucked into the Internet. I liked the return of the villain (don't want to give it away for anyone who hasn't watched yet.) I look forward to finding out more about Clara and why she recurs through time. I guess Oswin is from "Oswald for the win." I'm glad Clara laughed at the Doctor's invitation at the end and told him to come back the next day, instead of just jumping on board.

I liked the multiethnic guest cast. I felt represented by Alexei and by the guy at the beginning.

The "revert to factory settings" at the end for the main human villain was a clever, sad twist. Lots of other great twists along the way too, both by the villains and by the Doctor to guarantee cooperation from his adversaries. Great commentary on what people put on Facebook as well (though Moffat is too harsh on Twitter)!

You can buy them off Amazon or iTunes if you're still looking. We're on to the second half of the season now!

Saw "The Christmas Invasion," Tennant's first full episode. Everything clicked in a way that has never happened before. Is it possible to be in love with Tennant after only one episode? Cos I seriously swooned every time he smiled. He is terrific at the part! And he has amazing chemistry with Piper. Sad about what happened with Harriet Jones, though.

Glad you liked it ... I didn't feel that bad for Harriet, since she did just blow up a ship that was leaving. "Don't you think she looks tired?" "Song for Ten" was a great song at the end of this episode.

I'm jealous, you have so many more great episodes ahead of you!

Wouldn't be Moffat if he didn't have the new female companion meet the Doctor as a kid ... Glad this wasn't on the televised show at least, and glad Clara wasn't obsessed with the Doctor after this.

      Y&R: Old Articles

      By Broderick · Posted

      Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
