If it really does happen, I'm not going to forgive Wadey for keeping the twins apart.

Love it or loathe it (like Ben Wadey clearly loathes it), Zoe Slater has a twin brother...and if she really does die/get killed, then they'll never meet. When Zoe's return was announced, I really hoped they'd make the twins part of that storyline, but to now kill her off and never have them meet...I can't forgive Wadey for that. It just smacks of spite, which you just know is why he gave Zoe twins of her own. He gave her twins, to deflect away from being a twin herself...and no comment on the quality of those twins :-/

Now, maybe it's a double-bluff that she dies, although funeral photos have just been released, but why is Wadey doing this? It's not down to Michelle, because she could ask to leave and ask for Zoe to be killed even, but it's not her choice as to whether Zoe leaves by taxi or hearse.

I am so convinced that Wadey's tenure is being driven by spite, but it's also cutting his nose off to spite his face.

Charity, Vanessa and the son that time forgot.

Of course, we don't even see Johnny with Vanessa and I'm sure a lot of people don't know she has a son, but Charity is his mum also. She adopted him and when they arrived back from Canada, Charity asked to spend time with him and the boys (Johnny and Moses) played together as brothers. They spent years growing up together, even sharing a bedroom when they were all living at the Woolly.

I would be really disappointed if they treat adoption like it's something to drop. If Vanessa had died, then Charity would be raising Johnny and just because they aren't together, I do really wish that the boys at least get to spend time together...although I would like to think that Charity would want to also.

Mark Jr. or Spencer Moon...who would you have rather Stephen Aaron Sipple had been playing?

The first Mark Jr. they brought in is quite happy in Emmerdale and obviously the original Spencer Moon would never return, because he's become a solicitor in the real world.

I've got to say though...for a character to bring in, I would have much preferred it was Spencer Moon than it was Mark Jr. I'm exhausted with sudo-Mitchells, so expanding the Moons again might have been fun...it would also have given Vicki more nuance, with her ex of 20 years being there, although I also don't understand why Ross couldn't have been Spencer. Again, that could have been such a fun thing.

When Battlestar Galactica meets Eastenders.

All I can say is that I hope the show doesn't waste Jamie Bamber, aka Captain Apollo from BSG, as one of these new Hawkins.

In "Picard" season three, where did those Changelings come from?

On Daystrom Station, Section 31 had a LOT of Changelings to play with...but where did they all come from? Were some of them captured Founders, were others the 100 that had been found, etc?

Vadic had a whole crew, so they must have rounded-up a lot from different sources.

Did Odo infect Lars with the Morphogenic Virus?

Odo of course was Typhoid Mary, so when he linked with Lars, he must have been contagious...unless the virus could only be passed once, but that doesn't sound very likely. In which case, when Lars went off to find the rest of the 100, does that mean he was infected and unless Odo could have found him after he re-joined the Great Link; did Lars die?

He might actually have taken more than a few other Changelings with him if he actually managed to find any.

Could the Changeling have turned anyone into a Changeling or only Odo?

The dying Changeling incorporated itself into Odo, but could it have incorporated itself into anyone, or just Odo, because he was once a Changeling?

In "The Begotten", was that Bashir the Changeling?

In "In Purgatory's Shadow", the real Bashir is revealed wearing the old uniform in the Jem'Hadar prison, so does that mean all instances of Bashir on the station before the new uniform was introduced; it was actually the Changeling?

And if so, surely the Great Link could have saved that Changeling from dying from radiation, so why didn't fake Bashir step in and save him?

When did Odo infect the Great Link?

Did Odo infect the Changelings with the Morphogenic Virus when he exposed the fake Admiral Leyton on Earth, when the Female Shapeshifter stabilized him on the Defiant or when he joined the Great Link to the judged?

The idea I shared with Wes Craven before he died.

Before he died, I actually spoke to Wes Craven through LinkedIn of all things...this was YEARS ago and I shared an idea with him, which I don't especially like anymore, but we were just having an idle chat.

Sidney got pregnant that night and had Billy's baby between 1 and 2, which would come back to haunt everyone years later.

It really threw me when 5 came out and Billy's lovechild was actually part of the plot.

I always saw it though (and hilariously now they say 8 is going to be set in the UK) that Sid would have moved to the UK and be pregnant, but things start kicking off again and Sid believes it's all to do with the baby she gave away.

If there was an "Ask Me Anything" for any member of the EE cast and crew, what would you ask?

It can be anyone working on the show, but if there was an "Ask Me Anything", what question would you ask someone?

Sharon being in America all this time for Michelle's trial would have made sense.

There's going to be an instantly skirted-over reason for Sharon having been away in America, but if it had been for Michelle's felony trial and her 20 or even 30 year sentence, then that would finally draw a line under that awful storyline.

The second, the SECOND Michelle stepped back into America, she should have been arrested. It would actually have made sense for her to be extradited for her crime, not Ben.

The school would have reported her, Preston's parents could have reported her and Preston himself might have reported her, but she would face at least two felonies...and I'm sorry, but the show can't ignore that.

They made the decision for Michelle Fowler to be a paedophile and a teacher and in Florida...there's a case of a teacher doing exactly the same thing and he's now serving his time.

Michelle can no longer be the happy ending that people go off to stay with when they need a break, because she is a FELON. She would actually have a 20 or 30 year sentence and after that, be handed to ICE and then shipped back to the UK, but certainly not a holiday destination.

When I think of how good Pat's drink driving storyline was, Ian's makes me sad.

Pam knocked this out the ballpark and it was so real, so relevant and in comparison, this storyline with Ian is just dire.

Who is the most revolting Predator?

If you take into account...

Looks, personality, who they were trying to meet, what they wanted to do, what they said, how they said it, profession, family at home...who is the most disgusting and revolting Predator of all-time?

It's not fair to call them bimbos, but do you miss characters like OG Chelsea, Dawn Swann and Jodie Gold?

I miss a contrast of characters, because everyone really does feel the same at the moment. They're all so serious and I don't just mean comic relief, but also reality, because I've met more women like Chelsea #1 in London and Essex than I ever have Chelsea #2.

They can have hard-hitting storylines, but they deal with them in different ways.

OG Chelsea, Dawn Swann, Jodie Gold, Amira in the beginning and ACTUALLY, Tiffany when she started...they weren't bimbos and they weren't dumb, they just reacted differently in situations and that was refreshing.

I can't honestly remember the last character like that, because they never pushed Anna in that direction. I don't think they actually took her in any particular direction.

He wouldn't have to be a toyboy for Elaine to have a relationship with a younger man.

Of course, Elaine #1 had a cheating toyboy, but Elaine #2 could have a relationship with a younger man, which wasn't focussed on his age or defined by it.

In this day and age, why can't we see an age difference relationship work? Of course, the show has never liked older women with younger men, from Kathy & Phil to...did you know that Alfie was supposed to be Peggy's love interest?

Elaine though...why can't she have a relationship with a younger man? Why can't she be the one to date Mark Jr. or Zack and it not be a novelty?

A relationship that I really enjoyed was Denise & Kush, but even after Denise made peace with Carmel, the show still broke them up.

I know there's a lot of backing behind Elaine and Ian, but Ian has never been able to make a relationship last...you just know it's going to fall apart, so what is there to invest in? I suppose that's true of every relationship, because the fallback of the show is always to cheat, but why not make a stand with a really strong relationship?

Has talk of the similarities to Hollyoaks made you watch an episode, even out of morbid curiosity?

I will hold my hands up as to saying that I haven't watched an episode of Hollyoaks since it first started in '95.

"Who spiked Natasha with ecstasy", Jambo and when they did actually seem to put effort into it. A bit like Drag Race when it was still underground, with Santino from Project Runway and Ru wore a shake 'n' go wig.

Anyway, with everyone saying that Eastenders has become Hollyoaks...out of morbid curiosity, I did watch an episode.

I don't think it's ridiculous to say that what we're getting at the moment is more Hollyoaks than it is Eastenders. The dialogue especially is reminiscent.

I'm not encouraging anyone else to (I really didn't enjoy it or would recommend it), but for anyone who has or who actually watches it...do you think that's what Eastenders is/has become?

So...The Vic. And a very disturbing thought :-/

It's been announced that Kat and Alfie are off, but with no indication of when they'll return. It could be weeks, it could be years.

With Zoe being killed off, the question is...are they going to leave that wretched pair of Slater/Trueman's in charge (please God in Heaven no), or sell The Vic?
