She wasn’t that bad…I think the reason she went home was because of the characters she played in Hollyoaks and then Eastenders, differentiating between soap characters and the actresses who play them seems to be a difficult thing for the UK to grasp lol

Poor love, out of every one she clearly wanted to be there the most.

I am glad that Melinda and Roxanne stayed in though, they are really likable and it doesn’t hurt that they are easy on the old eyes — I am a straight female for the record, but I still love to watch these gorgeous young things in their tiny sparkly outfits flying around the ice

I am looking forward to seeing both the men and woman dance together next week.

Peggy from Eastenders has always been a bit annoying, but the last few days it’s like the producers decided that for a laugh — they’d see just how annoying they could make her over the space of just a few episodes.

If that was the goal they did a very good job, I almost had to turn off tonight because my urge to jump into the TV and slap her was distracting me from my work out.

Demanding people go on her protest, whether they believe in her cause or not? Annoying.

Talking like she’s the boss of Walford? Annoying.

That hat she was wearing? Annoying.

Please, let this story line hurry up and be over.

Apparently I do, but this is quite the revelation to me as I had no idea I had a Bad Boy thing.

I currently have crushes on just three people from the telly and there’s a common theme, they are all bad boys who have the potential to be tamed by the love of a good woman.

Sean Slater off of Eastenders is probably my favourite, and seeing him all gooey over baby Amy makes me weak at the knees — but you know he’d slash you if you so much as looked at him the wrong way.

Then there’s Silar off of Heroes who makes me shudder every time he stares down the camera, but does absolutely nothing for me as ‘Gabrielle’.

Finally there is Sawyer off of Lost. He’s been off my screen for far too long now and I can’t wait to see his naked chest again.

What a let down they were, you can usually rely on the Christmas soaps to provide some decent viewing…but what did we get this year?

Victoria falls through some ice. Maria throws some paint on Tonys car. Susie leaves the square.

Big whoop.

I suppose the ‘Sean is not the daddy’ storyline was OK but how predictable, Sean wakes up and announces he’s so happy and it’s going to be the best Christmas ever and you know it’s all about to go Pete Tong.

Stupidest moments? Sean randomly asking Jack if he is the daddy, because he just happened to be there at that point…and what do you know, Jack is the daddy and Sean works this out from his reaction. Duurrrr.

Also the fact that five people were quite happy to be running around and jumping on the frozen lake in Emmerdale, but then suddenly when Victoria threw the necklace on it everyone was freaking out and calling her an idiot and crawling along the ice to try and get it back!

Over all the Christmas soaps this year only score a 5/10!

So, who was it exactly that ran over Max Branning and left him for dead?

Who cares!

This storyline has been done to death already, and not just in serial ‘Whodunit’ offender Eastenders. It’s not new, it’s not exciting, it’s not different and it’s not clever.

On top of that add the fact that Max Branning is a completely unlikeable character who garners no sympathy. Every one who is in the frame had rhyme, reason and motive to want him dead and the only question I have is — Why couldn’t they have succeeded?

I will be glad when this storyline is over and done with.

So Stacey and Bradley broke up, again. What’s new?

I couldn’t believe my ears a few weeks ago when I realised that Stacey is only meant to be around 18 or 19.

How many 18/19 year olds do you know that have been married, divorced, remarried, had several affairs including one with her husbands father, had one abortion and is already trying again?

Mind you, this is soap land. I must remember that…in soap terms that’s actually a pretty quiet 4 years.

In other tonights Eastenders news…what was with that Ronnie and Christian dance? Were they trying to be ironic? Back story, it’s school reunion time, Ronnie doesn’t want to go because she wasn’t popular school, Christian convinces her to go and pretend he’s her husband, off they pop, song comes on that poor old unpopular Ronnie would never have dared dance to back in the day — cue Christian leading her onto the dance floor for some seriously cheesy and Dirty Dancingesque moves…that everyone else in the place deems fit enough to stand around in a circle clapping and cheering at.

Please.
