Thank you! Can't wait to hear his answers on your Chryed questions. But I guess I'll have to...

Evening all.

Am sort of here! Just closing my eyes and squinting over some of the posts, because there are people on this thread talking like 2012 happened, and we all know that's wrong. :sleep:

Once BK took over, it was more like someone swinging a paint can about. Sometimes, they got lucky and the paint stuck to the canvas and it looked pretty good, but the overall painting was still a mess.”

STEEEEEEEPPPPHHHH!

Loved the gifs and the memories made me laugh so hard, but this is my favourite post of the last few pages...

Fantastic interview, he said so many of the things we've done, about soaps going 4 times a week, and the pressure of ratings, etc. What an articulate man. I love that he likes to write for the non-Alpha males. Cannot wait (but I will) for the rest of it - so excited for the Chryed bits.

Ha ha, you are me! I am over it now, totally - I think.

And yes I'm good at that too. :sleep: He really did mean his vows, even more so, he probably blanked out what he'd done, had to make it so that it didn't exist in his mind.

I see it as him being full of joy and thinking it would never come out. Also, he'd clearly been absolutely heartbroken and upset on the stag night, so knowing that (in retrospect) also made it ok. Still a cruel twist though.

Think I'd better shift my thoughts to the gutter for this evening.

Syed is watching Strictly now, and Christian can get it on a channel in Gran Canaria. They are on skype and are comparing dances and chatting, and saying how much they miss each other.

I don't know what Sherlock!Syed has to do with anything, but it made me laugh.

Great interview!

I think it's so great how many EastEnders writers take thier time to allow fans to conduct interviews with them.

How many have let us Chryedians interview them now?

On camera, Richard Davidson and Nick Hicks-Beach. By email, Pete Lawson and Daisy Coulam. In person (so not so much of an interview, as us squealing and fangirling) DTC, Diederich Santer, Pete Lawson, Johnny and Marc.

I still can't quite believe it.

This is just amazing...if anyone had told us a few years ago that this all would have happened, none of us would have believed it!

(((hugs)))

It's bizarre, isn't it? In the best possible way! So good of them all, and especially Nick this time - letting two complete strangers into his home to interrogate him about 7 minutes worth of footage from an everyday soap episode he wrote more than 4 years ago, and he gets literally nothing in return. So much love for all the writers who've been so generous with their time.

Ha, I keep going to reply to people about the wedding and stuff, then deciding against it. One year of bitterness, achieved.

Nothing will ever, EVER convince me that story hung together or made sense and there's no point debating people about it because they'll never change my mind and I'll never change theirs.

I think it sums it up, don't you? :sleep:

Oh, dear God. SunnySkies did some great stuff... lol. The piper threads were HYSTERICAL.
