I agree, it would be nice to see him making more friends and not just go down the clichéd route of them only being female (though I do like his friendship with Whitney.) From what I know about Jay, they seem like they'd get on well. I'd also like to see him making friends with Peter.
Then again, if this online dating thing DOES turn out to be a new romantic prospect, and not just Linda or soon-to-be-leaving Danny, that may well be where his storyline is heading for the time being. ![]() TBH,I think tonight will be make or break with this argument to see how well Sam pulls this off. I personally think he is going to do great! But you know what some people are like! |

So how was Johnny tonight?? I've trouble seeing the ep at the moment, so I'm most likely seeing it tomorrow morning.
I love the responses & love he's getting on twitter

Well I loved Johnny winding Linda up, lol. But he really needs to start dating (
), so Linda can stop fixing him up with Whitney- and or other girls.Poor Whitney, having a crush on Johnny. Not that I blame her though ![]() Whitney: I thought you were gonna dress up Johnny: For what? Eating dinner in the kitchen Love him! ![]() Johnny's on the cast list for ALL of next weeks episodes!

I saw some negative comments about Johnny on the MF last night which made me a bit . I don't really understand how his reaction could have annoyed anyone. He did exactly the right thing, getting Linda to reveal her views like that and therefore making her see what a horrible person she's being for wishing he'd just play straight. I'd really hoped that by the end of the episode she would see how badly she'd been acting but it seems like she's more annoyed about being humiliated than anything else. It wouldn't surprise me at all now if she's the person behind the internet dating thing. She'll convince herself that she's doing the right thing, keeping an eye on how he's acting with men, but it's just going to be so frustrating to watch. I still think it's realistic, though. Even though I'm really angry with her character, I can see why they're still pushing this storyline. People like her don't change their views overnight.I felt a little more sorry for Whitney but I don't think Johnny's reaction to her was especially mean or anything. At the end of the day, she didn't need to name him as the person she'd slept with, and I also don't see why she was offended by his comment about it ruining his life if she was pregnant. Johnny is gay and that's never going to change; getting a girl pregnant would have a massive negative impact on his life, not least because he's at university and he wouldn't be able to support her and the baby financially, so would need to drop out. I thought her taking offence was a bit short-sighted. He'd have said the same about any girl, not just Whitney. But yeah, I can't help feeling sorry for her as it's clear she's got a big crush on him. I don't think he's the only one that needs a boyfriend, she needs to get one too. (Can't help thinking that Lee might fit the bill when he comes into the show! )I thought Sam's acting was great. I liked how he didn't massively blow up, just kept his anger simmering and full of tension. Also, on a shallow note, he looked so cute when he was brooding outside of Whitney's house. His face is so lovely. ![]() ![]() Quote:

I want Lee with Stacey
They could definitely be a powercouple/supercouple, but we'll see what DTC and the writers have planned for him, Lee that is... Maybe Dot's grandson could be for Whitney? ![]() So are people actually angry at Johnny for the way he was towards his mother??? She felt humilitated for a moment sure, but that's nothing compare to how she makes her son feel- on a daily basis. |

Here is the Inside Soap thing: http://oi57.tinypic.com/2cs6jdk.jpg It dosnt say a male it just says a neighbour, But I now agree with it being Linda now, Maybe her talking to Johnny this way and Johnny being open and honest to this Walford Wonder about everything will hopefully open up Lindas eyes. Quote:
Perhaps not angry, but I did see a couple of comments on the episode thread saying that he annoyed them with his reaction. The majority of people sympathised with him but there were a couple of rogue detractors. I think some people are always quick to jump on what they perceive to be popular characters in order to bring people's views of them down a few pegs, but I was just surprised that anybody could have found his reaction to be unreasonable.

![]() The big question is does the other profile have a picture attached to it? No- because that wouldn't be much fun, now would it? Danny- Could be, but since he's leaving and
Spoiler
Liam- also could be. I haven't seen hints about this at all, but that really doesn't mean anything. Phil- Now that would be a shocker. Not because Phil wants a boyfriend, but maybe he wants to chat with other young gay men, to maybe fully try and understand Ben?? Linda- The most obvious one, given the name. Maybe she does this much like Phil... Or it could be a total different character ![]() And what a handsome picture of Johnny/Sam

I don't see what was wrong with what Johnny did
Imagine having a parent deny who you are, then admit they are ok with it and then conspire behind your back of trying to hook you up with women then leading back to denying who you are. He had every right to act the way he did. You need to look at it from a young gay teen's perspective for goodness sake. |

I love how we're all suffering from Johnny withdrawal symptoms after a few days without him.
Considering Sam has just come back from a few weeks' break, imagine how we're going to be if he goes off-screen for more than a week.

Aww I loved the scene where Johnny turned around and casually looked at the phone, and seeing Whitney & Nancy smile
, and then Johnny made the "why-the-heck-not" look to himself. I'm seriously loving him more and more- it's crazy lol I can see myself in him. Love how Sam is portraying Johnny!Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" played in the background. Loved that! |

Can't remember who said what, but I think it was Nancy who was like "Don't you think he looks a bit... pretty in that one?" and Whitney replied "Yeah, that's the point." Really made me laugh.
