Just seen that my post was 999, so though I should open a new one. Not meaning to tread on anyone's toes - except Gary/Ryan/Geoff etc.

i like the businessmen and businesswomen on the street who can do deals within 24 hours. I am fairly sure real life isn't like that.

The actor playing Nick seems to have a connection between his brain and his pockets
He seems unable to do anything unless his hands are in them.Then that is the same for a lot of the male actors on there as well.

PinkDaydreams · 20/04/2020 20:32

Nick seems to frown a lot I’ve noticed.

Also yes yes to pp about him being Conrad! I loved footballers wives!!

TheSquitz · 20/04/2020 21:12

I think he was in Casualty for a while? I know Toyah was.

I thought the new Aadi was pretty crap although Dev (for a change) was acting to an acceptable standard this evening.

Clawdy · 20/04/2020 22:30

I rather liked the new Aadi, far less wooden than the previous one. What I can't understand is why the new guy, Scott, has all the women lusting after him! There was a silly scene last week where Liz, Jenny and Eileen were all gazing at him, wide-eyed and breathless! He's a pleasant, ordinary- looking bloke who is obviously supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous. And Jenny's over-the-top giggling and squealing with him tonight was just cringey.

I'm afraid it wasn't a corker of an episode at all ! I read something somewhere that hinted at that, should've known better Grin

eggandonion · 21/04/2020 00:11

I had to reschedule everything this evening waiting for the promised corker! How can Ken go home to the street?

JemimaTab · 21/04/2020 01:29

What on earth is the point of all this retirement complex stuff? It’s beyond tedious.

Roussette · 21/04/2020 07:49

I have to say... Ken has never been the best actor (understatement) but he is getting worse and worse.

So he spends days campaigning, holding drink and nibbles dos, to become Important Person in Stagnant Waters. Gets voted in which is what he wants, then stands up and says he didn't want it anyway. So nominates Norris instead who doesn't want it, and previous Important Person storms off. So Ken and Claudia go and have a drink and in the worst acting ever Claudia says you don't like it here do you, and Ken says you're right

Yawn yawn yawn. The acting was so sub standard it was unbelievable.

Poor old Ken - he's 88! Heard him interviewed on TV - he's isolating with his daughter. They seemed to have a lovely relationship, and when he spoke, he was very together. Apparently just learned how to iron his shirts! Grin

I thought it was a good idea to expand the scope, Maybe other people could have worked there. But it's not really working. A lot of ideas, like the quads, don't work well.

eddiemairswife · 21/04/2020 10:53

What has happened to the Jenny actress? She was so over the top last night it was unbelievable.

eggandonion · 21/04/2020 11:07

Very few of them are subtle actors. I'll miss it if it is off air, even though it is daft.

HeartyGreenSalad · 21/04/2020 11:09

I think they need to scale back on the actors. There are too many families. Make it more believable again

CatSmize · 21/04/2020 13:04

Yep, I'd happily see the back of Aggie, Edison and sons and Gemma, Chesney and co.

Jenny was almost a cartoon character last night - not good to watch.

TheSquitz · 21/04/2020 16:44

Yes, Jenny was beyond bizarre Confused. It was making me feel rather queasy in the previous episode when plastic faced Luiz was being flirty with the B&B bloke (can't remember his name.)I wonder how Jonny & the bloke know each other? No doubt a shocking storyline will ensue which will eventually dwindle to nothing.

TheSquitz · 21/04/2020 16:45

Liz, not Luiz obviously.

scaryreading · 21/04/2020 17:05

Where does Liz live. No mention of selling flat and suddenly S&T in Ken's house

PinkDaydreams · 21/04/2020 18:11

It was so ‘as if’ everyone throwing themselves at Scott when he was at the bar. Surely that doesn’t happen in real life?! But they could have done that to make him seem ‘irresistible’ then the real story about him comes out and he’s a bad man?! I don’t know any spoilers by the way, I’m just speculating.

TheSquitz · 21/04/2020 19:03

When Paul first appeared he set many hearts a-fluttering Hmm

eggandonion · 21/04/2020 19:05

They like new blood. They have all had relationships with Ken and Steve and Peter already. I wonder when Adam will be back.

Clawdy · 21/04/2020 20:13

Yes, I'd forgotten Paul becoming a source of excitement! A bit like the new guy. Totally ordinary looking guys setting the street alight! Odd casting.

Deadringer · 21/04/2020 20:22

Yes they were all fighting over paul when he arrived. I hope ken doesn't decide he wants his house back, it would be much more realistic if he and Claudia moved into one of the posh victoria court flats.
