Quite! It wouldn't be so bad if some "explanatory" dialogue was inserted; ie. on being faced with a flame-haired Hayley, Irene exclaims "Gawd love, what've you done to your hair?" To which Hayley answers, "Now how did I know you were gonna say that?! The hospital's got a mobile stylist, and I wanted cheering up (face drops) for all the good it's done, I'm still stuck here..."


I always like the way that Rosie Webster "changed" from having naturally blond hair for years to suddenly becoming a teenager with naturally dark brown hair Laughing Not that we notice, in the same we don't notice the Peacock's staircase moving over night! Rolling Eyes


Emmerdale changed Victoria from a chubby ginger haired girl to a slimmer dark haired girl and nobody noticed.

actually most gingers probably wish their hair would change colour the amount of stick we get for it. Mad

I'm surprised they didn't replace Fred with a thin actor with hair Rolling Eyes


I like gingers, don't worry (I prefer auburn though) Wink

My favourite Blanche-ism: "I prefer funerals to weddings-- with funerals you don't have to hope for a happy ending"

I wish someone would compile a book of Blanchisms! I once had a load of them emailed to me but I lost the email Sad

Lets not foget that the writers need thanks for coming up with what Blanche says. That said she plays the character so well.

His Les Battersby, Norris, Dev, Ken and Steve are brilliant!

I never thought anyone could do a Ken Barlow - that is just superb.

So Sally Hunter is now working for immigration then!


Really not liked this storyline at all regarding Joanne - it seems very much an afterthought to me.

Joannes got a very strong Manc accent for somebody who came from Liberia aged 8. It doesnt follow that she'd have completely lost any trace of a Liberian accent after only 11 years in the UK.

You can tell the who story has been set up for Janice to assume the Polish workers are illegal workers and it backfires on her. she can't be an illegal immigrant so pick a character who could be so that's either Joanne or Kelly since they have different racial backgrounds

Then again if the Polish workers are legally in the UK why did one sneak out of the back door?

My thoughts (or emoticon) exactly!! Here have a classic Blanche scene instead: About a two-thirds of the way through this clip

Didn't Vicky make an excuse about not having her passport with her, that's why she did a runner? Panic I suppose, I don't know.

I notice how Joanne "her 'indentical' twin-sister" was neatly explained (cousin really for those who missed it)!
