God. Spode really freaks me out.

The stuff with Cain and Aaron - dropping the spanner on his toe and over revving Cain’s car before both of them heading off for their “business trip” to pick up some supplies was hilarious.

Natasha made a smart move bringing up Mark/Daniel’s bigamy when she was being questioned by the police. Not sure where she disposed of the body. We saw her burning something but I just assumed those were Mark’s clothes. Also I didn’t think she was strong enough to shift him by herself unless she had help.

Keep feeling quite sorry for Will. It doesn’t matter what Natasha does he’s not going to stop wanting his dad back. And this just shows the level of her selfishness.

Maisie wants Ryan bad. Her head’s all over the place at the moment and she just doesn’t see him as a brother. I thought he was quite harsh with her but I don’t really think he had any choice. I’d like to think he still wants her but is holding back out of selflessness in order not to hurt other people (including Maisie).

Things seemed to have settled down a bit with Ashley since Sally vandalised his place. He’s been reinstated and seems to be getting ok with Doug. I still have a feeling this is the calm before the storm.

LOL. Maisie's OTT to 'acting' has returned. I thought Esther Anderson was bad

I miss Mark - not the same without his bumbling, ATM.

Masie has just flipped her lid talk about going some no one in there right mind would be so intense finding out they were dating there brother and even going to Faye to see if she was lieing that girl has trouble with a capitol T

I actually didn’t mind Maisie’s acting (BTW do people really think Esther's that bad)?. I think she’s trying to portray the role of a besotted girl who has fallen for her brother bordering on desperation reasonably well and I think the hysterics are consistent with the character’s state of mind. I’m just waiting for her to say she’s in love with Ryan next. I do actually feel a bit sorry for her which is surprising because usually I can’t stand her. That’s one of the reasons why I like her and Ryan because he makes her more likeable and at times I do end up feeling more sympathetic towards her. Don’t tell me Olena’s fallen for Eli. In the name of heaven how? He doesn’t exactly strike me as being charming.

Anyway…go Hannah. I was so glad she stuck Victoria’s head down the toilet. Victoria absolutely deserved it. I think it was pretty obvious Victoria sent at least one of the text messages. I really felt for Hannah. Why would someone want to do that? It’s all in the open now so hopefully John and Moira can look at addressing the problem.

Ok i know Maisie is dealing with a lot at the moment, but she really is painful to watch at the moment, so OTT

Acting is one of those subjective things, I guess. Maisie's acting is very OTT, IMO. Yes, she's meant to be hysterical but I don't find it very convincing and a bit overdone considering it wasn't as if her and Ryan had slept together and were planning to spend their lives together.Still, she's not the worst on the show - the two young Barton girls are owed that accolade. Faye has been pretty lackluster recently, too As for Esther Anderson, IMO, she can't act - but she's popular, so she must be doing something right

Haven’t posted here in a little while. Didn’t think much was happening except for Maisie going of the rails over the last week and I thought that was getting a bit tiresome until tonight which I really enjoyed. I’m going to pre-empt remarks which will no doubt say her acting was OTT again however in this case I agree to a certain extent. Still I thought her antics were quite amusing. Getting laid by someone she normally wouldn’t touch with a ten foot barge pole the night before, thinking he saw her as a hooker because he left her the cab fare home, slapping Marlon, headbutting the mirror in the pub toilets – all good stuff. I thought she was cruel with Katie, especially when Katie was going out of her way to be nice to her. Almost resentment because Ryan is spending time with Katie instead of her. The way Maisie’s been acting out I thought she was falling in love with Ryan but I wasn’t sure if it was reciprocated. Funny for the first time tonight the L word was actually mentioned about Maisie’s short lived fling with Ryan during Natasha’s heart to heart with Dianne. So Natasha though Maisie was falling for him. Well at least Maisie’s accepted that she’s got a problem has took Dianne’s advice and is going to get help. Natasha seems to be putting on an Oscar winning performance.

I'm finding this whole storyline about the Barton’s Ewe lambs dying one by one extremely boring.

Wow Nicola was actually pleasant for a change and almost likeable. Wonders will never cease. I have to say I was very disappointed about the whole thing with Carl and his kids especially the way he wanted to palm them off onto their aunt. His daughter (Anya I think it is) is so cute. I hope them having to go to hospital has given Carl a wakeup call and he will face up to his responsibilities as a dad. I’m wondering if they will progress the storyline such that he makes more of an effort gets closer to them, they enjoy living with him only for his ex to turn up and demand them back.

Charity's attempt to blackmail didn't work out quite as expected.

Maisies 'acting'....

Maisie and the screeching, and the wailing, and the gurning, and the wheezing, and the squawking, and the shouting, and the weeping, and the snorting, and the slobbering, and the snivveling, and the sobbing, and the.....GAAHHHHH!!!! SHUT UP!!!!! JUST SHUT IT!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
