Yeah she calls herself Dawn Swan but sometimes she's referred to as Dawn Miller.

I think they're ruining Nicola and Simon. They were a fantastic couple with great chemistry and now I don't even see why they're together. They don't even seem to like each other!

I love how Dot refers to Phil as 'Phillip' or 'Phillip Mitchell' even though she's known him for years. Bless. What does Rosie see in Mike exactly? He's even worse than Keith IMO.

Argh I hate moments like that in soap. It's almost as bad as when people (amateurs, that is) sing on tv.

Why would there be a bang? Wasn't he stabbed? Yep, I blame Letitia too. If only she'd agreed to go for good, they could have sailed off into the sunset together. Seriously, though, how much more can Sharon suffer? She's lost her mum, dad, fiance and husband in the space of five or so years. Just leave the show, Letitia, and let poor Sharon be! I think I may be traumatised...

Raining.

Yep, I was dreading it, but it went pretty quickly and we got finished an hour early (2 o'clock instead of 3). Plus it was double time and a half, so I got paid about 85 quid.

Aww glad you had fun Ash. I had to work on Christmas Day from 9-2 but it actually turned out really well and I didn't mind too much in the end! Didn't get to open my presents until 7pm though cos all my family was here! Merry Christmas everyone (and thanks for all the birthday messages!).

It's my birthday today. Dan, I just watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this afternoon and it's a great present to have! And I *love* the Chronicles of Narnia. I have The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on video but I haven't watched it for years...think it might have to come out for an airing this Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! xx

Sucking a toffee or boiled sweet is supposed to be the best thing for ear pressure.

I have to admit I shed a little tear.

Oooh, can I nab one?

Nope, sorry. Where is everyone getting their Christmas avatars from?

The OC is definitely back in January.

The only show I never read spoilers for is Lost. I dunno what it is about it, I just love it being a surprise. The OC must be back pretty soon cos it's already being shown in America. I'd say Jan or Feb?

I think it's the way he grins, showing all his teeth...it's very cheesy!

My mum has always hated Frank's teeth and cringes every time he comes on. For that reason I find him amusing, but that's the only one!

It was hilarious really. The look on Martin's face when he was putting two and two together - you could practically see the cogs going round. Not the sharpest tool in the box is he? It was all totally unrealistic. As if you would shout out in front of the whole pub 'Are you having an affair?', 'No, it was only a kiss!'. On the bright side, loved the scene where Mo and Pauline walked in on Little D in his smalls. Can't believe he'll be going soon...

Lol yeah she is annoying. The way she says Son-yaaa.

Lol, I can't even remember what happened. Oh yeah, Sonia and Naomi and the blatant attempt to pull ratings. First Zoe and Kelly, now Sonia and Naomi...hmm, do I sense a pattern here? Funny how it's never Dot and Pauline!

You can always ask us if you want to know the English names...I'm sure we can work them out! Glad you're liking the book Ma.

I'm not sure...I think they film about 6 weeks ahead and he's meant to be leaving early next year, so it's possible he could have gone already.

Yeah I think she's actually a very good actress, but everyone has their own opinion! I like the Ruby/Juley relationship, but I don't want it to end up like Kareena and Mickey - with her going off to be with her family. It's a bit strange how no one seems to know if Ruby is actually leaving. The Cure, I agree with you about everyone leaving, but there's not much they can do about it as most of those actors and actresses have chosen to leave of their own accord. I do think they need to sort out the situation with Letitia Dean though - either she wants the job or she doesn't. You don't see other cast members flouncing in and out whenever they feel like it. As it stands, I think they're doing the right thing with bringing in new family members for existing characters, rather than just a load of random people.

You're really missing out if you haven't read the HP books Majohn! The films don't even compare, though they've done a good job with them. It's cool that you get to read it as part of your study though! Wish I could.

I walk too Tess, takes me about 25 mins to get to work. But I hate wearing a coat! Haven't succumbed just yet. Today I wore a tshirt with a big thick jumper over the top and a zip-up thing over that. Was quite warm I have to say.
