I’m sure RTD knows he has a lot to answer for with Martha. Like Billie Piper, Freema has also improved leaps and bounds as an actress since leaving, so I’d be interested in seeing her return.

I'm not really sure if he has ever addressed the ugly writing choices for Martha, especially the stereotypes of her father being a no-goodnik and leaving the family for a white woman, or them being forced to dress as servants. 

@Vee that's a wonderful writeup of the finale - you really put your all into it. Reading it I was reminded of how much I disliked Ten's regeneration, and that era's treatment of UNIT, and why I'm not really that thrilled to go back there, but clearly RTD was one of the only people who could possibly turn the show around, so you take what you get. 

I'm so mentally checked out of New Who that I haven't watched the finale yet and I'm not sure when I will, but a longtime fan I know offline enjoyed it too, especially the parts with Tegan and Ace and the returning companions. I'm glad it went down well and I will try someday.

A huge new issue of DWM contains a lot of new info from RTD and co.:

They also reiterate that Tennant is the Fourteenth, period, and are going so far as to run a new DWM comic strip featuring Fourteen, I think this month.

Russell also ruffled some feathers with this comment on why they didn't show Tennant in Whittaker's costume, which I can understand and I think he handled sensitively, but I also disagree - they should've just done it.

I don't think so, I think she just is appearing in the Tennant/Tate anniversary specials. But who knows.

Over on IG, RTD seems very chummy with Bonnie Langford in the comments on his post of this which makes me wonder if it's definite Mel is back for more during the anniversary.

Wow they went really young. I’m looking forward to seeing them together. I haven’t seen her on Corrie so I don’t know her chops, but at least she’s not a complete neophyte.

Thanks, @Vee 

Millie is a very strong actress, which is why she was pushed into such a central role in Corrie so quickly. I'm a bit thrown by how much her getup there and demeanor reminds me of Billie Piper. I guess RTD can never let Rose go. 

Ruby Sunday sounds like an old porn name.

      Upon reflection, I think you're right, their chilliness toward each other was more recent. She said women on the show in 1984 were not supportive and she still stays away from them. She seems friendly with Susan Hayes so Deidre is the only woman still around from those days, though I guess Kristian Alfonso and Leann Hunley could also qualify. And it might be someone long gone but who is still present in Suzanne's social circles.

      I don't know.  The animosity seems to be more recent than the mid 80s.  When Maggie was a victim of the Salem Stalker i remember reading an interview with Suzanne where she said they aired the episode(s) surrounding Maggie death in a theatre and made a big deal about it.  Suzanne was very upset about being fired and Dee comforted her and said that they were making such a big deal about it because it was Suzanne/Maggie.  I cannot find the article but I will keep trying. That said Suzanne's comments on Soapy about how some of the female cast members treated her during her illness was disappointing to hear to say the least.

      Anyway... Kristen should have a prison lesbian story arc. And then come out and become obsessed with Marlena so we can move her on from the Brady nonsense. Is that secret room still in the DiMera mansion?

      I'm really liking Izaiah and Eva so far. And why can't I help but feel that something might happen to make Jessica stay in Fairmont Crest permanently?

      So Pam didn't create her? I thought she had the whole of 87-88. I'll look around, thanks for the point in the right direction.

      date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Samantha, accept the fact you were in the wrong and do not deserve your digital devices. Do not like it? Go upstairs. Read a book. Do some knitting. Bradley and Martin's "we get it" to Tyrell was hilarious and absolutely a parent's thing to do. Loving a bit of history of both the Duprees (via Eva) and the Hawthrones (via Izaiah). So cute. Poor June. I am sure she did not purposefully mean to mess up; we have all been there working in customer service. Shake it off and keep on keeping on! Not twice a week for Vernon's cobbler order... Sharon must be using that as payment for their meetings. I appreciate that Ted still cares about the Duprees despite the end of his marriage to Nicole. Not Dana using Peaches' crisis as a way of taking Ted's attention away from a co-worker. Girl, do not be so obvious. Bradley is a man after my own heart with a simply divine chocolate milkshake. That is the way to go. Dana really needs to dial it back. Money will not buy her everything she wants and she will realise it soon enough. And I doubt Shanice is scared off by her idle threats, either. "With all due respect, Ms Thomas, this isn't a shopping mall." Oh, Dr Wilkes just owned Dana's arrogant ass. I love it. Wigs and personas? Okay now, Shanice ate with that read. I like that June assured Bradley that she will not replace him or Martin in the twins' lives. And that blood does not make a parent. Words never rang more true. Jessica reading Samantha was amazing. Dana would want to involve Ted. Her obsession is crossing beyond dangerous boundaries. Not Dana catching Vernon leaving Sharon's room at the country club. That is not good. Not good at all! Notes: Ugh. Not another breakdown from writer2. This week was going so well. Thankfully, Paige is an outstanding scriptwriter (one of this soap's best), and her words today are excellent. The food at Orphey Gene's does look bomb, so I do not blame any of the characters for uptalking it. I would eat there daily if I could. And gain hundreds of pounds, too. David Lami Friebe (Izaiah) continues to make me sick watching him, but he is nice to listen to. I still really like having June as the central person hub at Orphey Gene's. That familiar face you see when you walk in and have scenes. Dana wanting a second opinion means we could have an incoming doctor, right...?
