Ah right I must have missed the royalties from the song... I know of people who know back in the olden days knew informers and whilst these informers are I suppose "protected" and "looked after" I haven't seen them on quite the same stratosphere as Vincent! Grin

And many of them well, you know, keep a low profile Wink.

Oh right so potentially April could make an appearance then couldn't she?

I do miss Janine, she was so evil but another one who could act. Friday's episode I swear was one of the only few times I've seen Witless actually act.

Nuchelle is getting right on my tits too. She just grates the way she wafts round the square in her beige Mac! Anyone else?

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 15:20

the80s I think Vincent is underused too.

It got a bit juicy for a while when he had the basement run in with his mum etc but then he (and Patrick) forgave her (his mum) pretty damn quickly! And things moved on...

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 15:24

Super, no fan of Nu Michelle here either , she annoyed me with the towel buying for Stacey and Martin ( she didnt even buy them, she made martin cough up for those!) The way she didnt even listen to Sharon when she was told about Denise and pHil and the baby - ' oh well, sharon, by the way i was caught with a 17 year old, woe is me, i have cellulite ' etc etc. No empathy for her oldest mate at all. The beige mac does nothing for her and she keeps on taking Martin away from his kids , to go to the allotment of all places! She pokes her nose in where its not wanted and dissed working in the Vic, because its not teaching! ( but i bet she ends up in there..) grrr

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 15:26

i could go on about the new head, but i didnt even realise she had become a teacher in Florida until she came back in the show.

EnidButton · 13/02/2017 15:49

woe is me, I have cellulite

Grin Why is this making me laugh? She's such a pointless character isn't she? Unless it was Susan T coming back then they shouldn't have bothered.

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 15:50

Ha yes the80s I forgot that Nuchelle conveniently didn't listen to Sharon!

And yes, if it was mentioned Nuchelle was a teacher it was only in passing it was all ever "oh Nuchelle's in Florida!" whenever her name was mentioned by Martian etc!

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 15:53

Yes but Enid Susan was never going to return (she has a great career anyway plus if you read interviews with her about it she said she doesn't think she (Susan) could return as Michelle.

I think Nuchelle returning paves the way for lots of characters to remain in the show, or to leave and return (as in feckless Sharon's case!) and also there's a link to the past bit. What with Dot all but retiring they need to cling onto links from the past don't they?!

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 13/02/2017 15:54

She certainly is pointless.

I hope Kelvin comes back, last year i kept asking why they invented a fake history with vincent knowing everyone when they could have used Kelvin.

Didn't Kelvin's dad break him a Michelle up because "mixed relationship were wrong"?

EnidButton · 13/02/2017 15:59

Then I would've left it rather than get a new actor. We already have zombie Kathy back and the Mitchells and the Beales are old families. That said, Martin soon got into the part. Maybe she'll get better in time...

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 13/02/2017 16:01

Kelvins dad was named Tony!

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 16:04

I remember Kelvin, but i had forgotten he went out with chelle./ i only remember lofty and her dirty den days! ( oh , and grant, match made in hell for a night there)
i have cellulite and a fat tummy, but if my friends needed me i would listen and try to help them out, not go on about my own woes! lol.
i wonder if the toy boy will show up ? i hope he does, then ditches Mac for Lou or Bex. (evil laugh.

HoHumming · 13/02/2017 16:07

People didn't like the new Martin either. I think it is too soon to say whether Michelle is good or poor as she hasn't had a story yet. They are still building up her character. People don't like her lines but saying she is bad is very harsh. She is a much better actor than Lee and Johnny who apart from Lee's car park scene have really shown dismal acting. I think she will be like Jack who I always thought was wooden until Ronnie left the show and he started to act!

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 16:07

Just but then Vincent coming in means Kim can stay (and develop the Denise storyline) and Claudette/Patrick storylines worked there too...

I hope Kelvin comes back too! How does Tony figure in it (as K's dad)?!

I did have another theory then about someone else but it's slipped my mind!

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 16:12

The80s I wish Lofty would return and there's Nick berry too as i mentioned on the previous page, no idea how he'd slot in but he's quite a nice silver fox.

See get Simon (NB) back and Janine, ooh that could be very juicy!

Then before long Natalie Cassidy (Sonia) will want to return from maternity leave so along with Janine and Simon there could be quite the storylines there... I think they should employ us lot to write EE storylines and ditch the current idiot/producer.

Agreed about Leak, his acting is dire, even little Tiff (who I see is now undertaking a singing career) could act better than he could! Grin

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 13/02/2017 16:12

Best actor in the show was the guy who played Les.

HoHumming · 13/02/2017 16:15

I thought the Les actor was funny but not intentionally funny. He was too exaggerated with the constant gumming.

I thought Pam was incredible. I cried along with her in more than a few episodes.

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 13/02/2017 16:16

Are you trying to tell you you didn't like Les's "screw your face up" acting?
It take talent to display every emotion by pulling faces to the camera.

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 16:16

Maybe i am a bit harsh about Michelle - I just cant warm to her though, i think that the towel gate thing went too far and she seems a bit out of her depth.
however, I dont mind Martin and he has grown on me, so there is still time and at first he seemed a bit of a 'dick' as they say ( with the drinking and so on)

Janine was a very good baddie, her and Babe would be a force of nature.

HoHumming · 13/02/2017 16:35

Ah be as harsh as you like, I don't know any of them. I just said that as I feel a bit sorry for her as she came back to the most undramatic EE ever!

EnidButton · 13/02/2017 16:39

I don't think the actress is bad but I do think the writing for her so far is bad. I know people change but a bit of consistency, as it's a soap, would be good. They've turned her into her Mum.

SuperFlyHigh · 13/02/2017 16:48

The80s yes Janine and Babe.... There's an idea, though they could both hate each other!

Just hmm well Pam was good but she was also annoying in measure as was les.

Les was excellent though, tackling a variety of storylines despite his screwing up his face.

Why did Nasty Nick have to die too?! Amazing actor and I hope that someone he wasn't buried/climbed out of grave/living another life etc.

See if they got him (Nasty Nick) and Nick Berry (aka silver fox) back that'd make 2 good reasons to watch EE! Wink

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 17:01

Janine and babe, pistoles at dawn!
I liked pam, she was nice and fairly normal by EE standards. So sad when Paul died.
Les handled the christine story quite well.
He actually looked like an undertaker

Akire · 13/02/2017 17:03

Yes pam was lovely we don't have an older mother figure at moment. Just seem to be pushing Stacey into role. Carmel is just to annoying to pull it off! In face is there anyone over 50 apart from recently depart babe, mick mum and dot?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 13/02/2017 17:07

Best actor in the show was the guy who played Les Eh? Confused Grin

The80sweregreat · 13/02/2017 17:10

Not too many older ones left now.
I suppose younger actors means younger viewers? Im not young, but
I dont mind Bex ( when she isnt singing) louise n shaki ( who just makes me smile! Bless his hairbun)
