For those EE fans out there following my Postcards, I want to apologize for the last few weeks with nothing new to say. To be honest, I am bored of griping about the current quality of EE. Unfortunately, the latest episodes have given me little positive drama to comment on. However, so many new observations have been springing to mind over the past few weeks, that even if I'm back to whinging, I thought I'd share them with the Walford Web readers, and see if anyone else feels the same way.

When it was recently announced that John Yorke was vacating the producer's chair at EastEnders, and new producer Louise Berridge would be helming the show, hopes were high that storylines would be improving. After all, it was John Yorke who had steered the show into its current emphasis on murder, mayhem, and illicit sex. It was John Yorke who master-minded the Slater family and then made them the central characters on EastEnders. And it was Yorke's terrible idea to make Jamie Mitchell & Sonia Jackson a couple as well as have Sonia suddenly go bonkers and kidnap Chloe.

Some Random Thoughts and other miscellany:

For someone out £30,000, Phil Mitchell seems rather sanguine. Hasn't ANYONE noticed that Melanie Owens has skipped out on her bail? Maybe it's different here in the U.S., but when someone fails to show up for a hearing, then the bail is forfeit. Since Phil kindly put up the money, doesn't that mean he has now lost the cash? The Phil Mitchell of old would have had every dodgy character in the UK beating the bushes for her! What gives?
