Yesterday in the Office, we were discussing Den's mystery woman. If she is a current cast member then there are only a few likely possibilities. 1 to be precise. Which led us to count how many cast members there were - since there seemed very few decent middle aged women. We were astounded that the soap goes out 4 nights a week, but has so few cast members...we counted 39. What with some members on holiday and others suspended, there are usually a lot less characters involved per episode. No wonder its all getting a bit dull...

Who else would she possible be inclined to point the finger at, since she only knows the names of v.few non-Watts women on the square.. I assumed she'd accuse Kate but it would turn out not to be her at all. This stupid storyline is so confusing..

It is pretty pathetic isn't it? Who else could it be? Sam Mitchell? Zoe Slater? They are the only people it could possibly be.

Absolutely.. Are they so desperate to try and return EE to it's past state that they're trying to maintain Dirty Den's dirty image.. even though he's decades older now..

Sam was never really a possiblity after the "you framed my brother, so I have no problem with burning your club to the ground" scenario. Plus she seems smitten with Andy, dozy cow.. I guess they foolishly lined Kate up for this joke of a plot because she's the only single non-prehistoric woman left on the square.

Totally agree, EE is just going round in circles.

Speaking of Sam being a dozy cow did you SEE what she was wearing on last nights episode when she was leaving the Vic, a pale pink suit that was way way too tight and did her no favours. It was dreadful. I think she has a really nice figure but the did nothing for her and gave her a huge ass. (I'd have started this on a new thread but I don't know how to so if any one would like to tell me how I can do that please feel free )

Yes sad girl that I am I spent some of my afternoon counting up the characters in Coronation Street and Emmerdale and they come to around 60 characteres each, give or take one or two so compared to that 39 is a small cast.

Especially if 16 are being cleared out plus Sharon Watts and Lynne Slater are leaving.

Lol, I agree that it was definitely not the best thing to have been brought out of her character wardrobe. It was actually fairly surprising because usually Sam is one of the few smart dressers left on the square. She usually sticks with basic whites and blacks but this time she got it all wrong.

To start a new thread go to the soaps forum page and click the FORUM TOOLS button. It's pretty clear where to go from there..
