CC only axed 5 IIRC - but then i'm sure he must've had Peter returning in the works after being initially axed... Given how long the Knight storyline/ Cindy's return must've been in the pipeline. I mean Ian returned at Dot's funeral - so presumably was in the works from then. Dana, Jaida, Peter, Lola and Stuart? Bernie would be a fairly easy character to just axe - she has nowhere to go and is probably one of the few characters in a dead-end with nowhere really to go. But I guess it depends what BW has in store - he may have big plans for the usual characters who inhabit axe lists. A big year for Howie?

Its a shame, but I guess not really a shock. He hasn't had a storyline since he arrived. I'd happily lose Bernie though, the fact she's still there, working in the place her brother was buried and for one of the people who put him there is bizarre.

Yeah probably - she just needs the right feature again. Interest just seemed to die in her after Disconnect. I'm guessing TG will be more an albums artist and trouble the top 40 whenever he does a feature

Yeah I thought it was fairly strong too; his best from this era. You're right though, a bit like Becky Hill, it feels like things have moved on with regards Tom Grennan.

Sub Focus Oliver Heldens

2/3 of them being great! Watch JADE and Sugababes now do nothing officially.

Yeah there's got to be more to things than it just being AI - either he's lying/ hasn't changed or its going to go down a dark AI path. Given there's so much going on about how AI is bad etc, it would be a bit left-field if EE did a positive AI storyline. Some good scenes between Tommy and Lily though in the week. They're 2 great young actors; put the likes of Avani, Denzel and Nugget to shame really. Overall though a bit of an uneven week - the highlight of yesterday's ep being Bianca being sick in a Tuba :D

Hmmm... maybe it'll grow on me but on first listen I thought it was fairly awful.

Yeah it was different! Its good though that the storyline is progressing. Block story telling hasn't been great for it, what with Tommy, Kat and Alfie being largely absent for months. But the scenes this week/ last between the three have been good. Although Alfie in OTT mode is fairly grating. Dunno where its going to go after that reveal though.

I think Cindy's initial return was good - as was the return of Peter and Ian/ building the Beales back up. It just took a bit of a nose-dive when she started to sleep with Junior and then we had the who whacked Cindy storyline? Although part of that might be that Junior is such a dull character. Hopefully when she returns they'll be something a little different aside from countless affairs.

It got 44 from me 🙂
