Davies says in an interview with SFX Magazine that he’s planning to stick around for a few seasons and he’s already planning the 3rd season now and there are plans for a 4th season. Also, the naming of the seasons going forward will be reset, with Ncuti’s first season being called Season 1, the 2nd Season 2 and so on https://www.gamesradar.com/doctor-who-russell-t-davies-working-on-plans-two-more-seasons/

Good to hear. He’s one of the main backbones of the show and it wasn’t quite the same without him

Still catching up…October 20 episode: It annoyed me that Alexis and Gregory played gotcha with the judge instead of just straightforwardly interviewing him about the donor question. And basically trying to blackmail him to get him to change Drew’s sentence. That felt too much like what the old Invader paper would have done. I feel let down by both of them It was good to see Kevin back up Esme at the hospital to see the pediatrician alone and not with Spencer. Parental Rights indeed. Esme needs to decide how she wants Spencer in her and Ace’s life because the boundaries are getting blurred

The guy at the dorm? He seems like he has a thing for Jocelyn and will probably stalk her and try to drive Joc and her boyfriend apart

Just an FYI in terms of sources of soap news, Soap Opera Digest is ending its weekly print edition after nearly 5 decades. It will still do special editions 4 times a year https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/soap-opera-digest-discontinuing-weekly-print-edition-1235770929/ Surprising yet not given the problems magazines are having right now trying to survive and the reduced world of daytime soap operas. I quit subscribing when AMC and OLTL ended
