I think the threats to boycott ED are an over reaction. The studios are a place of work, were people go each day to earn a living. No one who works there is obliged to go and meet the fans that made the choice to travel over there. As a one off or something it's fine, but I don't understand why people feel like they have a right to take away an actors free time by demanding photos.”
And this for me is the point - I know that when I finish work (generally later than I'm meant to) I just want to get home and get on with my life and I really don't see how hard it is for other people to understand that that will be the case for most people, most of the time. All the cast have friends and families that, presumably, they want to spend time with and people like Emma and Matthew have young children who I'm sure they'd like to see before they go to bed etc. These 'fans' (if that's what they are which I have to question if they're threatening to boycott the show over this) seem to be very entitled and to have absolutely no sense of perspective (and they've rather annoyed me!)
But on a happier note - I may have missed it in all the general Aaron/Robert goodness so apologies if you've already told us but Kell-Free was wondering if you've decided on a name for your little girl yet??? Hope you're watching with her = catch them early, hook them for life! (and who knows maybe she'll grow up with Aaron and Robert like I did with Vera and Jack)

I know it has been a while - although I suppose Bex (who I think may well grow on me) did give him a pretty good slap (even if it was only for show) so he's not quite escaped the violence

Yes, I did wonder about all that bread - he only needed one more loaf (and a couple of fish) and he'd have been able to feed the five thousand.............
