No, haven’t watched it yet, hopefully will cheer me up!
No, haven’t watched it yet, hopefully will cheer me up!Did you miss Dot & Jim’s wedding? I thought it was brilliant and a really joyful episode with all the cast involved. It even made Phil smile
The best bit for me was Jim getting ready for bed in the hotel and the lovely conversation between the newlyweds in the hotel room
You may have found those other storylines boring but that one episode made up for it
I’ve had her book for ages and have never got round to reading it. Was it good?I see poor old Lynn was hastily written out to look after her sister. Elaine Lorden was given 3 months off to concentrate on her personal problems, her drinking issues were starting to interfere with her work around this time. (Just read her book btw!)
Felt terrible for her reading about her past. It seems like EE was pretty much the end of her career. I’ve seen articles in recent months suggesting she’s in recovery from her alcoholism, so I wonder if they’d ever consider a return for her.I see poor old Lynn was hastily written out to look after her sister.

Did she have another baby in the end? I know she had a baby who died bless herI see poor old Lynn was hastily written out to look after her sister.

No, they’re on early 2002 atm. He arrives 2003Is hot Dennis in it yet?
It was ok, felt there was a lot left out regarding her drinking issues (was published in 2007 and felt like she was still very much in denial). She never really admits she has a problem, but it's clear her drinking (shed get drunk in the green room/ would spend nights in her dressing room because she was too drunk to get home/ was caught drink driving ect) caused her to fall out with a lot of the big wigs in EE, there's definitely no way they'd have her back unfortunately.I’ve had her book for ages and have never got round to reading it. Was it good?
I think there's just too much water under the bridge now unfortunately. It's a shame, as she really could have become a 'classic' character.Felt terrible for her reading about her past.

Yes she lost the baby just after his first birthdayDid she have another baby in the end? I know she had a baby who died bless her
Me too! One of the best characters in EE history IMO. Apparently they were going to leave the door open, but Martin Kemp happened to mention he had signed a million pound deal with ITV, so the writers got all petty and decided to kill him! Cutting off their nose to spite their face there me thinks!Goodbye Steve Owenwish they'd have let him live and he and Mel fly off together but this is soapland
I had to rewind it and put the subtitles on as I thought I misheard.Me too! One of the best characters in EE history IMO.

I've watched a few things he did with ITV on YouTube and they weren't great. He played Steve Owen in pretty much every role
Was shocked at Mel's gay slur! Was surprised that was allowed to air in 2002!
I know! It was such an weird thing for Mel to say, didn't fit with her character at all!I had to rewind it and put the subtitles on as I thought I misheard.
I’m surprised Drama didn’t edit the scene to remove it
I agree with all this.Also should Phil not get in trouble for being anywhere near him.I thought Marcus said that he was not allowed near him because of a assault charge.Why didn't Mel tell the police Phil physically assaulted her into telling him where Steve was?? How angry he was. Then all of those people out in the market when he was screaming and shouting. Not to mention the work men they both sped past. Unless all of this is mentioned at a later date? I can't fully remember. I don't understand why she called the police but didn't tell them the full story.
