After last night, Danny Miller most certainly deserved that Inside Soap Award.

I'm ceratinly not warming to them. I may be in the minority, but I'd love Bradley and Stacey to be back together. I know that she hurt him, but I really did think that they were good together.

I originally thought that the relationship between Vinnie and Shirley was sweet, because she found it difficult to believe that somebody actually wanted her (as did I, I must admit ), but she then warmed to it and softened a little, without losing her edge. However, Vinnie is no match for Phil in Shirley's affections. Plus, I think that she'd make a great step-mum for Ben.

I don't mind Vinnie, but Phil and Shirley easily have the potential to be the best couple in Walford.

I've been screaming at the television, willing the scriptwriters to have Heather and Minty truly fall in love. They are fantastic together! Next on the list: Shirley and Phil. I think that they would be a really good couple.

I disagree. I can understand why there is no scope left for Mickey, but Keith is a fantastic character! I like his relationship with Darren, but I can appreciate that with Rosie, Demi and Mickey gone, there may be little they can do with him. I'd much rather they axed Dawn; she's foul.

Eurgh! Ian out of all people. ! No! Don't turn into Chrissie! I like her as she is. Nice, but feisty enough to be interesting.

I read somewhere that Louisa Lytton hopes to return to the show when her contract with The Bill finishes, so you may get your wish! I'd love to see her back but I hope it's the old Ruby, not the crazy brat she'd turned into by the time she left. She is totally unconvincing in The Bill; as she's quite youthful-looking, she looks to me like a child playing dress-up.

Does anybody else think that the current storyline of youths terrorising Dot is in very bad taste, given the present climate?

I'm surprised that I'm not feeling as much sympathy towards Bradley as I am towards Tanya, but I'm guessing that that is due to my liking Stacey. Yes, I'm well aware that she's done a terrible thing, but I don't feel that same sense of (anger?) towards her that I usually do with TV characters who have affairs (and there a good few of those!).

I don't mind Max, actually and I quite like Stacey.

Why does EE have to be so depressing at Christmas? Why did the Stacey/Max affair have to be revealed on Christmas Day? Obviously, that's a rhetorical question, because we all like drama, but it would be nice, if something good could happen for once. I agree that the acting has been surprisingly good and I may be ideallistic, but I wish the actors could shine in this way without festive heartache. I wasn't aware that John Bardon had had a stroke and my thoughts are with him. Apparently there will be a special, sentimental episode soon solely focused on Dot, which will feature flashbacks of her life. I believe it will be one for keeping the tissues handy.

The new actor is portraying Steven extremely well. He's a very scary looking thing. It's all in the eyes.

I recall a discussion some time ago about a possible H&A/Neighbours crosover about her disappearing from Neighbours and being found in H&A. I never really understood the backstory, though.

I never did warm to Charlotte because of my love for Shuana and Shauna/Jude, which is a shame, because she did come across as a very likeable character. I loved her gran, though, which leads me to my quick question. Was the actress in Neighbours at some point?

I watched The Incredibles for my lovely, romantic Valentine evening.

Irene possibly?

I find MSN Explorer to be really good. It signs you into Messenger and you can access your hotmail emails via the main window. How are we all doing?

I haven't seen EE in a while, but am I right in thinking that Stacey and Bradley are expecting a baby?

But it's so easy to do!

I have returned... and have eaten enough potatoes to last me a lifetime.
