Sharon didn't even bother turning up. She's not dead is she? I lose track.
Please! No more Ian grieving!

When Den was in prison they filmed 3 months of scenes in a week or something with just Leslie Grantham and whoever was needed to visit him.
You'd think when the actor leaves they could get them to do some random "I still can't believe XXX is dead, they meant the earth to me" comment, stood in The Vic and have the current cast members edited in to look like they're having a conversation. Or have them with running mascara in the back of the church. Or something.

The thing is, Michelle's hair and clothes and the video quality would be circa 1996 or so.

They could explain that with a throwaway line with Big Mo saying "a shame Michelle didn't make an effort for her mother's funeral. I know her suitcase got lost at the airport but she didnt have to go shopping in Oxfam. And as for that hair..."

When Den was killed by Chrissie, they filmed all Sharon's scenes before she left about three months earlier and just cut them into the action and that worked quite well, even though they had left her dialogue so vague that just about anything could have been slotted in around it. I think most people are willing to accept that the reason Michelle isn't at her mum's funeral is that Michelle isn't in it any more!

I'd have liked them to have just brought in any old jobbing actors to be Michelle, Vicki and Sharon for the funeral episode. They wouldn't have to even look like the originals or even speak. They could even be men in dresses.

I don't think I could stand hearing Vicki say "graan" in THAT accent again.

They haven't run one of those stories in....oooh, two years. I can see it now: the running mascara, the empty vodka bottle. the lipsticked smeared glasses. Gary: You know why we don't get on, Mum. You never told me a thing about my Dad. Nothing! Mum: (Sobs) Because I was raped, Gary! Because I was damn well raped and I didn't want you to think I didn't love you. I couldn't do that. Dum dum dum dum dum.......

So...Carly gets out of the cab and notices Phil Daniels and Yvonne from Bad Girls having a barney in the street, so she decides to hide. Despite the abundance of thick metal girders, she hides behind...a really narrow lamppost, able to conceal about a third of her body, and that's if she holds her breath.
Carly = worst undercover agent ever.

I know he only found out on Thursday that Sonia bitch slapped Pauline to death, but I'm surprised no one's brought up the fact that Martin mowed down Jamie yet. Can Sonia not just say to Martin: "You killed my fiance, I've killed your mum, let's call it quits"?
In other news, apparently Louisa Lytton is joining The Bill. When I first read it, I assumed she'd be playing a teenage 'tom' or somebody's kid, but no, they really have recruited their first child copper.

Can Sonia not just say to Martin: "You killed my fiance, I've killed your mum, let's call it quits?" I said the exact same thing. Martin was going on about "You've taken away someone I love, so now I'm taking away Rebecca." I just wanted Sonia to point out that Martin killed Jamie 5 years ago. That might have shut him up. And the post mortem says Pauline was hit with a blunt instrument. Well, Sonia didn't hit her with a blunt instrument, but she still hasn't heard the actual post mortem results, or else she would have pointed this out to everyone..."Actually I didn't hit her with a blunt instrument. It must have been someone else, so can everyone lay off me please?" Having said that, I was quite surprised by her stupidity of kidnapping Rebecca. Oh, and Deano is an idiot.

Are Sonia's hands chubby enough for one to be classed as a "blunt instrument" these days, or is this a proper who dunnit storyline now? If it is it's a bit half arsed.

Actually, maybe Sonia came back to Pauline's later, and clubbed Pauline over the head with her trumpet. Can you imagine if the only reason Sonia played the trumpet all those years ago was a foreshadowing of Pauline's demise? Now that would be fantastic.

It is all a bit bizarre, unless by blunt instrument they just mean her head hitting the table. The Guardian's TV reviewer, Nancy Banks-Smith, suggested Pauline may have been killed by the taxi driver who thought he was taking her to the airport on Xmas day on quadruple rates, only to be told she'd changed her mind. Unfortunately, I think Charlie Slater was in the pub at the time, so that rules him out - he might as well have gone to prison for muder as he serves no discernible purpose in the soap, other than keeping a roof over Stacey's head. Since all his 'girls' left he doesn't even the get the chance to look pained and say 'I don't know what's happening to this family' anymore.

The next development in Pauline's death saga has been revealed online... Joe Macer is to be killed off in the near future. He dies following an argument with Jim Branning, but people will be unsure whether it was murder or suicide.

Never mind unsure, I suspect people will be uncaring. I know I am.
