The Bill

[ChastityDingle]

I wish Andrea Dunbar had been just a coppa, she was a good coppa. I liked her. I'll always think of her as Moira in Emmerdale in any case.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Are you me?!
I was thinking of that one when the poster said they liked Jo. Great episode

I love when Jo hugs him at the end and calls him 'hun' again.

And I know Stuart was in some ways a show off and all the rest of it, but, again, a great character well played. He had a vulnerable side which made him likeable, to me. I loved when he did the tv programme and all the others teased him mercilessly.

Speaking of Eastenders actors, Gabriel (David)/ Mark Fowler/ Todd Carty features a lot in the series I am currently watching.
I think I had forgotten quite how evil he was. Just watched the one where he killed Kerry.

That Smithy & Louise Larson storyline got teenage me so invested ha.

Yeah Eastenders is full of ex Bill these days.

You couldn’t top the Eddie Santini and Rosie Fox storyline/era. It was riveting stuff and perfectly blended the Police procedural elements and soapy side of things before it went OTT under Paul Marquess (although I did love the Cathy Bradford storyline during his tenure and some other elements).

Loved the Eddie Santini storyline! And then John Boulton and Claire Stanton a year or so later. Was devastated when he died...

 

[ChastityDingle]

Just watched the final final final episode. Jack's speech was amazing. 'Respect'
I think he was genuinely emotional. Smithy and Callum walking out of the station together at the end. Aww.

I watched an old episode last night and Eddie was in it, but not as Eddie.

 

[Alipaints]

Love getting my fix of Smithy in Eastenders and Ray Moore in Celeb Traitors. (Loving him in his kilt!)

 

[ChastityDingle]

I got to watch Phil's last hurrah in uniform last night. The one where he grabbed the bike to pursue a criminal.

[Very traditional]

I’m child free this morning which is very rare for a weekend so I’ve put The Bill on while I do some cleaning. Jo Masters is brilliant, I think she’s really underrated.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Oh I see Hunter on the Street was on today on U&W. Happy days, I'm wrecked, feet up, ideal viewing.
I loved Phil/ Scott Maslen in The Bill.

 

[Tinkerbe11a]

Why on earth did they have to end it?! I did a rewatch last year from the Sun Hill fire in 2002 onwards and remembered just how much I loved it. The Smithy and Louise Larson storyline was good, and I loved the whole Zain Nadir and Kristen Shaw storyline too!

 

[LipstickCherry]

This is a very retro crush but mine was Mike Dashwood

Mine was Ted Roach. Same era!

 

[GinaLianosdeckofcards]

I started watching the ones on U&W this morning and it’s around the time they put Phil Hunter back in uniform but it’s a uniform fit for a schoolboy

When he had that fling with a schoolgirl though,nobody battered a eyelid.In every scene she had school uniform on too.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

He was a drug dealing criminal in Byker Grove

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

No, I kept chopping and changing and in the end just stopped watching on Drama.

The last series just ended on U&W, so I got to watch Jack's final speech RESPECT all over again. Great piece of scriptwriting, great delivery.

And looking ahead they are going back to a series that Okaro was in, lots of my old favourites so I am happy about that.
I didn't like the way characters started to disappear at the rate of knots in the final series.

Yeah I noticed they’re going back to the Cathy/ Brandon kidnapping storyline.
I like that storyline, but I don’t think I’ll watch because I only saw that storyline a few years ago on Drama

 

[ChastityDingle]

Poor Grace is having a hard time of it in the episodes I watched this week. Neil is being awful to her, and she doesn't know why. His son is having treatment for leukaemia but nobody knows that apart from Banksy.

I watched some from the series on U&W at the weekend. I'd forgotten how much I liked Lewis. And RAY MOORE finally met his Waterloo.

 

[Fledgling Psycho]

Okaro was one of my favourites in The Bill. There was something compelling about his acting. Natural and very watchable.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

Watched one from the final series last night. 'That Type of Cop.'
Jo was always a favourite of mine anyway but she was brilliant altogether when she became sergeant.

When she joked to Leon he has to get her coffees as sergeant so he started walking off in the dark to find one

 

[ChastityDingle]

Took me ages to think of Leon (Dominic Power) as anyone but the evil Cameron from Emmerdale. He was in The Bill first, I think but I must have forgotten about the crossover!
