It is fantastic lately, loved that Emilia/Michael scene today!
I totally agree. All killer, no filler re: Neighbours! Love it!
Hmm... sorry to be a downer but at times I thought Carla - especially when arguing with Peter - was a bit panto and awkward with her acting.
I do feel they've rushed it all a little bit to be honest.
Home and away just seems to be getting better and better
there just seems tobe 3 or 4 big storylines running at once with others starting to build too.
Stu has been killed but by who?
Im looking forward to the aftermath tomorrow and of course Bianca & Liams wedding but going by the preview
she goes off with the very sexy Heath:eek:
Tomorrows episode looks like H&A at it's best.
Back to tonights episode though and i enjoyed pretty much every scenes. Romeo did the right thing in telling the cops all about what he saw and i have the feeling Sasha was the killer
8/10 very strong episode from the bay:)
Emmerdale only good bit was the kiss
haven't seen EE yet will do later then Ill vote
EE I mainly voted up just for Jean.
How does Aaron do it! :rolleyes:
Incredible. It felt like 'tram week' all over again. The pacing was great and I loved how it focused on the main five suspects stories one by one and how they were all affected by Frank. The scenes in between worked very well too: the oldies mixing in with Peter and reminising about Annie Walker which was great. Loved the small scene with Dennis & Lewis aswell.
Everyone involved put in a great performance. So many good scenes I wouldn't know where to start! Right up until that very last scene it had me hooked as I suspected it would. I didn't want it to end! Fantastic.
I also voted for Doctors - wonderful episode starting the 'reveal' of Hestons beating by the Missus!!:eek:
they never shy away from anything and at times it much more :eek: than the other soaps.I have heard good things about todays episode so i really hope i enjoy it when i watch it later on
Coronation Street packed rather a lot (perhaps too much) into its two episodes - most of what I wanted to say has already been said better elsewhere - but on the whole it was difficult to resist the allure of an episode where a villified character is murdered. There were some great classic kitchen-sink grot scenes of Carla & Peter struggling with, well, Peter I suppose, of the two of them it's clear that he has the biggest problem with alcohol. As for the murder, I was surprised to see as much blood as there was, too! it's a shame we didn't see the act itself, but there are admittedly only a few ways of showing this and they've been done a million times before. Ken & Deirdre's scene with their television was brilliant too, one of those "less is more" scenes that no other soap can do as well as Corrie. I enjoyed it, but felt it lacked focus occasionally with so much going on. 7 out of 10.
Not a bad episode i supose. I quite enjoyed the scene with Jean telling Michael that he's more afraid than she is but deep down he really doesn't love Janine
Laurens Alcoholic storyline is warming up nicely but again tonight there was too much Humour and not enough drama
7/10
Doctors
Plenty of Humour and Drama all around in Letherbridge today...:D
Karen makes me laugh:D every scene with her is comic and i really hope she's up for a BSA award
Julia is getting a little strict all of a sudden but she's never seemed to warm to Kevin at all.
Loved the reveal of Hestons story but naturally the people at the Mill think he's lying to save his own back but little do they know he's spot on.
The Kitchen scene was so intense and Doctors at it's very,very,very best. The great thing about Doctors is it doesn't care what it shows and in such an early slot too.
It's blowing the other soaps away right now.
looking forward to the aftermath tomorrow 9/10 for me and the soap of the day
