Alex said he considers Justin to be his father so I doubt the fact that he actually is will be much of a problem. I think the problem will be that Xander will turn out to be Victor's son.

I remember there was an early episode where a woman gave birth at home and all the commotion from her husband and children ended up waking the family tortoise who was hibernating in a box under the table. I liked the reference to Biafra. I still remember the children with their huge distended bellies and stick arms and legs. I went to Catholic school, and Biafra was one of the missions we donated to.

The other thing is that the theory that the angel was meant to have Down syndrome happened in late 2002.

I found a site that has the UK version of the show. Unfortunately, it isn't a "legal" streaming site so I don't know if I can link to it here. Anyway, I watched the episode that this one was based on. Here's a synopsis of the episode from Wikipedia. I'll put it in a spoiler:

The person who said Dan is leaving has now said she should have proofread her post and that he is not leaving.

Has anyone heard that Dan Feuerriegel is leaving the show? Someone on Reddit referred to it and said that it was old news but I can't find anything about it at all. Of course, he may have announced it on his Instagram or something.

In my previous post, I linked to an interview with Dodi to hear what he sounded like. I was trying to find the one where he called Larry King but to no avail.

Not that I remember.

Dodi Fayed speaking I listened to an interview with Khalid Abdalla who played Dodi. He said he based his speech on a clip of Dodi calling into THE LARRY KING SHOW and asking Burt Reynolds to do his impression of Tony Curtis doing an impression of Cary Grant. Anyway, he said that Dodi had an American accent but with Egyptian vowel inflections.

FWIW, a five-part miniseries called "The Queen" featured five different vignettes of her life, the last being when she finally met Camilla. They also had Charles asking the Queen to attend the party and her claiming it interfered with an already scheduled appointment.

I'm guessing they'll say that the baby was accidentally incinerated as medical waste because it was so small. Or they'll try to pass off a stillborn baby as hers.

A different take from The Radio Times

CTM Gossip about Helen and Olly

I think the problem is that since not everyone is able to watch in real time, no one wants to spoil things for viewers who are further behind.

Ryan reminds me of Doris Powell in "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" which was about a doctor whose fiance is killed in a car crash. He takes her head and keeps it alive until he can find a suitable body to transfer the head onto. Doris is a beautiful woman who was scarred on the side of her face by a jealous lover who threw acid at her. She makes money posing "bare for a bunch of perverts." Ryan, if a shady doctor tells you he can make you just as handsome as you were before, RUN!

I had to roll my eyes when she admonished E J for referring to "manhandling" when it should be "womanhandling." Wendy, you are not a woman. You are a silly shallow little girl.

I'm not sure the two new characters thing is all that relevant since it would mean there would be the same amount of characters there were when he came on the show.

He never said he thought they were going to write him out, just that you don't know what writers might want to do with your character.

I see absolutely nothing to indicate that Olly Rix is leaving the show voluntarily. Or that it has anything to do with money or contract issues. Helen has said she always fears being written out of a show because you have no power over what writers want to do. I think Olly was making the same point: It doesn't matter how much you want to stay on, if TPTB decide your time is up, there's really nothing you can do. My guess is that they'll either make him a villain of some kind or they'll kill him off. Here's the entire Digital Spy interview that those quotes come from: Digital Spy

Both Olly and Helen did a lot of media surrounding the wedding. They said they wanted to stay with the show but didn't assume that the show felt the same way.

Olly Rix is being written out of the show

I had to roll my eyes over Paulina's indignation over a woman being referred to as a "subordinate" as if this were some kind of misogynistic hate speech. If you're below someone in rank, you're their subordinate regardless of sex.

Olly Rix and his long-term girlfriend have also split up

Whitley mentioned in passing that her husband had died recently so I figured that would be the catalyst for what she did. Obviously, the situation was much more serious and tragic than we knew.

Two new midwives join the show
