Sunday comments, July 8

Lines of the week:

  • Fred to Audrey "If, God forbid, i should never see you again, i'll never forget you" Audrey "I'll never forget you either"
  • Norris "Is there any news on Audreygate?"
  • Michelle "Hard day at the knicker factory?" Liam "That's undie-stated"
  • Ashley to Audrey "YOU KILLED 'IM!"
  • Blanche "Close? People always say that when they mean 'At It'" "She should have a turnstile instead of a bedroom door" "Fur Coat and no knickers we called it in our day" (Yay! I never thought i'd hear that again on the Street!)
  • Liam "I am a Maria magnet" (sheesh)
  • Blanche "Look at that little Asian bit.. Aphid" Ashley "Orchid!"
  • Bill "No good shouting at him (Kevin)" Sally "Well who else can i blood shout at!"


What did Fred think? Audrey was going to commit suicide? Sounded like Fred had finally put his love for Audrey in the past when Bev came along, so why was he so torn? Did you hear the first thing Fred said about Bev? "She loves me". Not "I love her". I think Fred just came to the realization that Audrey would never have him and after the last Orchid disaster, he finally realized what was important. Unfortunately, it was too late. Bev's Phrase of Doom portented disaster and disaster struck in Audrey's front hall when Fred had a massive heart attack.

And the gossip mill goes into smoking overdrive. Everyone wonders what Fred was doing at Audrey's and most of them assume the worst, including the bride. I'm not surprised Bev thinks Audrey and Fred were having an ongoing affair. Bev knew deep down that there were feelings there. She was always asserting her place at Fred's side at Audrey's expense. Good God, even Rita questioned her, but then she knows exactly how Bev feels! I have a feeling that Bev isn't going to be sober for a very long time. And wait until she finds out Audrey saw Fred's body first! fireworks! And Blanche's mouth was going full speed! Poor Ashley can't even grieve because of all the gossip whether it's warranted or not.

Looks like there's going to be a confrontation between Ashley and Bev over the funeral arrangements too. By rights, Ashley is the next of kin even though Bev would have been in another hour. But she's lurching around the place, drunk and acting like she was actually his wife. I waver between feeling sorry for her and annoyed by her.

Rosie knows how to distract her mother from how many clothes she's taking, flattery! They really seem determined to make their escape to Berlin. Oooh i'm enjoying the on location shooting in Paris, especially the opening of Friday's show, all scenes from Paris instead of the usual opening credits. I bet the Sunday omnibus won't get that. I'm going there myself this November! As an aside, the hotel you saw Bill come out of was Hotel du Pantheon and it's a real hotel, not a fake sign over the door and they used the interior for the hotel room and bar scenes too. I wrote more about the location shoot on an earlier blog if you're intersested in finding out more about the hotel and the area.

Nice to see Bill Webster again. Looks like the City of Love had a bit of an effect on Sally and Kevin, too! I did find it a bit off putting though, some of those shots of Rosie and Craig? She kept smiling over at the camera's direction and the girls' dialogue seemed awfully rushed at times. Rosie was rushing around looking for a bracelet and writing notes. Feels a lot like stalling tactics. Is she having second thoughts? I wonder if she really thinks they will go through with it when they're faced with the train or if she thinks it was all a lark? Will the Websters make it to the train station in time?

Oh no! Cilla flogged Les's Quo-signed jacket and lots of other of his treasures! Fiz is getting discouraged. She should eat at home a few times a week, she could probably afford private professional lessons that way. Is Frankie warming towards Danny? Jamie isn't going to like that. Violet and Jamie are back and who comes down the stairs early in the morning. Boy, talk about an overreaction! Frankie pointed out it's none of his business, she's still his mother, and she drove it home with a smack. Jamie is well out of line and poor Violet seems to be in the firing line.

Deirdre wonders if she's looking more like her mother. She's right, you know, there is a resemblence! Have you noticed Frankie's face looking a bit fuller and they're not dressing her in sexy clothes these days? The actress, Debra Stevenson, was pregnant and was probably about 4 months along at that point in time. I think.
