View Full Version : The Bill
I'm assuming that we have lost all the past comments made on The Bill, but we can't not have a thread seeing as The Bill IS The best serial drama on TV at the moment.
It all hots up again next week with Kerry's funeral. I hope it's not the last we here of this story line. Also the Abi Nixon story intensifies next week- should be good. Me can't wait!!!!!!! I love it.
Coastie 31-10-2004, 06:54 PM It is the best on going drama ever!
With Elvis gone lets hope Sucky Teeth is next!
Sylvia in Stilettoes 31-10-2004, 09:47 PM Sucky Teeth? :confused: Is that Gabriel?I wish he'd go.......as far away from Sunhill as its possible to go. :(
Coastie 31-10-2004, 09:53 PM Sorry Sylv...Sucky Teeth is Rob....alot of us have become increasingly annoyed about the fact he always sucks his teeth and goes on and on about the Radfords! :mad:
A few of the other nicknames include...
Shop Dummy = DI Manson
Elvis = Kerry (cos she always curled her lip)
Wart Nose = Andrea
Husky = DS Nixon (cos of her voice)
Andrea 31-10-2004, 09:57 PM Wart Nose = Andrea
Please Coastie, will you stop bringing people's attention to my hmmmmm, slight, mmmmmmmm, problem :o
Andrea 31-10-2004, 09:59 PM Now thats the second time that's happened when I try and quote someone, the box and original posters name doesn't appear.
I don't know if its because I edited it or what?
Sylvia in Stilettoes 31-10-2004, 10:07 PM Sorry Sylv...Sucky Teeth is Rob....alot of us have become increasingly annoyed about the fact he always sucks his teeth and goes on and on about the Radfords! :mad:

Thanks for that Coastie.On D.S. Gabriel is referred to as The Chimp.I don't think I'd have been able to guess Husky or Shop Dummy or Wart Nose either. :D
Pandora 02-11-2004, 10:37 PM Ah yes, Rob Sucky Teeth - the good news is that he may not be getting his contract re-newed by the producers - hurrayyyyyyy !
Phil Hunter may be leaving soon too.
Ive checked out the spoilers for The Bill and it looks like Rob Sucky Teeth features massively in the next few weeks.
Its Kerry's funeral tomorrow and Gabriel takes centre stage, shedding crocodile tears. I cant wait !
Coastie 06-11-2004, 12:38 PM I heard that there is going to be a dramatic death around Christmas...... :shock:
It will be either:
Wart Nose :drinking:
Irene Radford :eek:
Smiffy :shock: Noooooooo please not Smiffy!
Phil Hunter can't leave, the chemistry between him and Husky is fantastic! :(
Pandora 07-11-2004, 03:56 PM Ive got a spoiler about up and coming departures from The Bill, round about Chrismas time/New Year ....
Believe it or not, there will be yet ANOTHER bomb or fire at Sun Hill which will raze the Police Station to the ground. Andrea Warty Nose Dunbar and Ken Drummond die. (Booooooooo :( I like Ken!). Cathy Bradford may or may not be involved (so presumably she escapes the Mental Health Unit?)
Coastie 07-11-2004, 04:50 PM Another Bomb! :eek:
That'll be the 3rd bomb that station has suffered....two in the past year...the other was a car bomb way back in the 80's when a really nice young PC was killed...very sad! :(
So basically....Sun Hill nick has suffered in the past year or so:
2 Bombs
A serial sniper
A huge fire
Seen at least 8 officers die
Had numerous corruption allegations
And had Sucky Teeth join the nick!
Can I say at this point.....it's a wonder that anyone wants to work there!
Bella 07-11-2004, 08:04 PM Another Bomb! :eek:
That'll be the 3rd bomb that station has suffered....two in the past year...the other was a car bomb way back in the 80's when a really nice young PC was killed...very sad! :(
Oh, I remember him, Coastie. He was lovely!
Pandora 15-11-2004, 02:29 PM I loved some of the oneliners they gave Skeleton Face Debbie McAllister on her last day at the nick last week. :)
To Phil Hunter : "Oh grow up Phil, before your age starts overtaking your IQ"........
but best of all was her resignation speech to DI Manson (looking more like Alan Shearer than ever).............. "Jack Meadows is twice the man and four times the copper than you'll ever be, so keep sitting there, snapping at his heels like an angry little gerbil, counting your paperclips...."
Class.
Wonder what happens to Rob then? I suppose that is the end of the Radford story line now. Good- it was dragging on a bit. I have to say that the video footage from the eighties showing Irene Radford was just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in the Bill. AS IF! No way could video from 20 years ago be enhanced like that.
And when is anyone going to find out that Kerry went to the rape clinic?
I think poor old Smiffy is going to end up in deep shizzler.
Doesn't PC Valentine sound exactly like Gabriel, he even looks a bit like him. Spooky :ohmy:
Looks like next weeks episodes will be focused on the Abi abbduction. It's about time that somone realised that the profiler guy doesn't actually help in anyway at all apart from putting his arm around Sam every two minutes.
Go on Phil- work it out!
karenh 19-11-2004, 09:57 AM It's about time that somone realised that the profiler guy doesn't actually help in anyway at all apart from putting his arm around Sam every two minutes.
ROFMLAO! Excellent Bob - that is so true! You can't help wondering why Sam bothers to call him all the time....
Bella 19-11-2004, 02:55 PM Duh, because she is thick!!!
I am getting bored with the Abbie storyline. She has been missing for about a month now, if that was my daughter I would have gone to pieces by now, but not Sam, she is in there doing her job everyday and no-one seems to be looking for her. I reckon they should get Jack Bauer over, he would find her in no time!
Pandora 19-11-2004, 04:43 PM Thank God Rob the Nob seems to have done a disappearing act! All that sucking teeth, hooded eyes and frantic arm waving.... God it was wearing me out.
Like the rest of you, I couldnt care less if Abi National lives or dies. Creepy Hugh is irritating, Sam Nixon is thick for not sussing him out (especially after he got that website up), and basically her boss and most of the rest of the nick dont seem to be in the slightest bit interested (despite getting worked up into a frenzy last year when Eva's kid went missing).
Its a stupid storyline that is dragging.
And Bob you are right.... shut your eyes and Roger Valentines voice is the same as Gabriels!
Pandora 24-11-2004, 09:36 PM We were right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugh the creepy profiler kidnapped Abi National ! Pity he seems to have covered his tracks and set someone innocent up though ... :glare:
It was an excellent episode with some good acting from Sam and the suspect, Peter Jackson.
Pity Hugh the profiler resembles a plank of wood.
kittyxx 26-11-2004, 12:43 PM I thought wed's episode was brilliant - and am sooo hoping phil and sam get together!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pandora 29-11-2004, 04:46 PM Theres certainly a bit of chemistry there isnt there?
Coastie 30-11-2004, 08:52 AM We were right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugh the creepy profiler kidnapped Abi National !
Take a bow Pan as I think you were the first to come up with that theory....the rest of us just fleshed it out a bit!
Isn't it great at the moment....Sucky Teeth will be out of it soon...the Radfords will finally be a closed story line.....Abi has finally been found.....and Wart nose dies soon.....horray! Al;l our Christmas presents have come along at once......although Sam and Phil getting together would be nice! :wub:
Pandora 02-12-2004, 10:22 PM *takes a little bow* :blush:
Oooh what about that bloomin Abi then? Going home with slimey Hugh ! And poor Peter Baxter getting framed for the abduction. Tut tut, I think its about time CID took a better look at that CCTV film of Abi and her abductor. The perpetrator was 6ft plus with long legs, and Baxter is about 5ft 8 and three stone heavier .... :unsure:
Coastie 03-12-2004, 02:15 AM Scarily enough Iwas thinking the same thuing......Hugh and Baxters phisique is so extremely different surely they could see that from CCTV......also I would query the fact that Abi called Hugh and then said that she thought the tape was the abuductor..............also surely they must know that Husky Nixon wouldn't make up the fact that she saw the rope in the back of the car..............and...and....Abi said the voice of her abductor was deep....Baxters is a little shrill to be deep...kinda whiny.....Hughs on the other hand!
The only thing I can think of is that Abi and Hugh are in on it together..........he has brainwashed her into thinking it's a good idea to play at being abducted blah blah blah....as he mum doesn't love her etc!
I tell ya Pan they need us on the team luvvie...we'd show em how it's done!
Sylvia in Stilettoes 04-12-2004, 12:34 AM I really think they are stretching our credibility with Abi's reaction to Sam.She's only 15 and I doubt she'd reject her mother quite so easily.To then go off with Hugh just doesn't ring true for me. :unsure:
Coastie 04-12-2004, 05:16 AM Yep...right there with ya Sylvia.....It is all becoming a bit unbelievable!....mind you I think they have been streatching the boundaries of reality for a while now.....come on bring back the honest bobby doing an honest days work of nicking the regular little toe rag!
*Rachel* 05-12-2004, 06:48 PM I am a massive fan of The Bill! I love Smithy and Phill they are both very sexy!! Can someone please remind me who Cathy Bradford?!?! Its driving me nuts trying to figure it out!
Please let Andrea *wart nose* Dunbar die! She's annoying! :glare:
When is this explosion going to happen?!
Thanks :devil:
*Rachel* 05-12-2004, 06:49 PM Poor, poor, poor, poor Peter Baxter for getting framed for Abbys abduction! :sad: Hugh is one nasty peice of work! :sick: :angry:

When is this explosion going to happen?!
Thanks :devil:You dont remember Cathy Bradford? She had very long bushy blonde hair and worked in the same dept as Ramani and Jim Carver (CPU), she was evil personified and had a stalker like crush against Brandon (the asian good looking CID detective), and eventually killed his wife, killed Polly Pages fiancee, framed Polly Page and got her sent to prison by lying on the stand, lied about her past, kidnapped Brandons children and held them hostage in sun hills boiler room for about a week, smashed Robbie Cryers head up against a wall .... oh the list is endless !
She is currently in a mental institution (no surprise there) BUT there are rumours that she will return at Christmas/New Year when she escapes to go on a killing spree ...
Dont quote me on that bit though, I read it in the Daily Star, and you know what that paper is like.
kittyxx 06-12-2004, 12:54 PM didn't polly page's fiancee kill himself with a leathal injection??
xxxx
Pandora 06-12-2004, 02:11 PM didn't polly page's fiancee kill himself with a leathal injection??
xxxxNo, the doctor that she helped kill himself wasnt her fiancee, she kept saying it wasnt that sort of relationship.
After the doc had died, Polly started going out with Max the greek fish and chip owner, who was going to ask her to marry him. Polly was arrested for the Docs assisted suicide, Cathy Bradford made sure Polly went down for his murder, jumped into bed with Greasy Max, became his fiancee and then beat him to death with her truncheon one of his kitchens, before shoving his body in the large fridge freezer.
Nice girl. Heart a gold .... :laugh:
kittyxx 06-12-2004, 03:51 PM ahhhh i remember now - i was working a lot when all this was going on so only caught bits and pieces! thank-you!!
xxx
*Rachel* 06-12-2004, 06:07 PM Thanks for telling me who Cathy Bradford is i remeber now!! :cool2:
Coastie 10-12-2004, 02:23 PM Anyone else get the feeling that June wishes she had chosen Tony (the reliable BFG) over Jim (the wussy, blubberly liar)...hmmmmmmm....
Looks like Terry's in for a bit of a rocky ride again....bless him....I hope they don't make him leave as he's one of the best characters at the moment! :sad:
*Rachel* 10-12-2004, 07:40 PM I think June defiantly is thinking twice about marrying Jim! :blink: she should of chosen Tony, he is a much nicer bloke and wouldn't gamble away her retierment! :wacko:
I caught this for the first time in ages last night... could someone tell me what happened with Abi? That looked like a good episode...
MariaRob 13-12-2004, 02:36 PM I meant to post last week that why did PC Yvonne batter down the door to her own house? Er, wouldnt she have had a key? Who is that dreadul actress playing the part of the young girl who is living with her, she has an upper class accent and thinks just cos she shoves in the odd "aint" she sounds like a street wise kid!! Er, NOT!

I would rather eat a handfull of live bees washed down with battery acid than sit through The Bill and all its horrid language and grimacing actors. Its a nasty little show. But hey, thats just me, I like ideal WOrld on occassions me. :laugh:
kittyxx 14-12-2004, 05:35 PM i used to think that too - but i became a lazy student watched two episodes in a row, as there was nothing else on and got hooked! The men in uniforms is a big plus though!! (even if all the good looking ones seem to leave rather sharpish - still mourning the loss of cameron tait!!)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Did you enjoy the bees and the battery acid then?:wacko:
MariaRob 15-12-2004, 10:50 AM Did you enjoy the bees and the battery acid then?:wacko:
What a daft thing to say, who would drink battery acid!! Doh!
I like the Bill, I know some scenes are daft but it has been going for a long time. It does have some gripping scenarios though. Who shot Gabriel then?

Couldn't agree more :laugh: Still, i love Emmerdale, so many would shout me down for that :huh:
kittyxx 15-12-2004, 03:40 PM again only got into emmerdale once i went to uni! now i'm an occasional viewer!
not sure who shot Gabriel - just wish it had've been me!! - do we know if he dies????
Pandora 15-12-2004, 09:43 PM What a daft thing to say, who would drink battery acid!! Doh!
I like the Bill, I know some scenes are daft but it has been going for a long time. It does have some gripping scenarios though. Who shot Gabriel then?Did anyone see it tonight? No Gabriel didnt die and it showed us who tried to kill him. I was convinced it was going to be Lance's boyfriend, the armed cop in SO19 and it wasnt ! :huh: It was a great episode. I wont spoil it by saying who the Snipererererer is just in case anyone has recorded it.
Brilliant tonight! yay the bill is back with the juicy stories. Do you think Gabriel was his target? Sniper told Gabriel it was the other bloke he was aiming at, don't know myself. I don't want him caught just yet, would like more drama first please! When is anyone going to know that Kerry reported her rape? :mad2:
Does anyone else find it wierd when gabriel has one of his funny turns like he did tonight (he let slip he saw Kerry die) they are so out of character for him, or is it all mind games and acting with him? I can't tell whats real and whats not anymore with him, which is great I suppose, keeps us guessing!
Pandora 15-12-2004, 11:16 PM Brilliant tonight! yay the bill is back with the juicy stories. Do you think Gabriel was his target?

I can't tell whats real and whats not anymore with him, which is great I suppose, keeps us guessing! The sniper actually confessed to Gabriel that he shot the chap in handcuffs to "keep Gabriel on his toes, as he was sick of following orders and being treated like rubbish. And if Gabriel could break the rules by borrowing the gun to kill Kerry then he (the sniper) could break them too".....
And yes, I wondered whether Gabriel's funny little turn was acting but we usually see him walk off with a secret smirk and he didnt this time. I believe that he is borderline insane and occasionally has a little "turn".
Lots of nice Smiffy action tonight .... and the yummy Sergeant with his big gun was in it too - he is especially droolsome and sooooooo wasted on boring, crap acting Lance!
Coastie 16-12-2004, 08:33 AM Smiffy... :wub:
Pity the sniper missed Gabriel though....I reckon Gabe will kill the Sniper as the his world starts to unravel around him... :devil:
MariaRob 16-12-2004, 10:47 AM I agree that Gabe is insane but he got mixed up with Kerry's name as it did effect him that he had indeed murdered his own unborn child. What a total loser Jim is, now he has nicked the gold watch out of the drawer - like NO-ONE will notice. I wish they would get rid of this fool. Like the new recruit, the way she just said NO to Jack Meadows. She has balls. Sheila had no right to have a go at her like that before she know the full facts.
Pandora 16-12-2004, 05:27 PM I agree that Gabe is insane but he got mixed up with Kerry's name as it did effect him that he had indeed murdered his own unborn child.

I cant stand Sheeeeeeeee, the holier than thou Cop. Im sure the new recruit is feisty enough to sort her out. Maybe she should ask why Sheeeeee was demoted? Lol .....
Coastie 16-12-2004, 06:21 PM Oh I wanted to slap Shelia the other night....I think any whistle blower is very brave when they make a stand against corruption and wrongful doing.....grrrrrrrr to Shelia!
Oh and does anyone else think that the map of 'Sun Hill' looks a bit like a big floppy willy?
Coastie 17-12-2004, 06:59 AM Another quick notie......did anyone else notice that during Wednesday nights episode the SNIPER said to Gabriel that basically their common bond was their time in the army....I thought Gabriel had been in the Navy not the Army?
Last night....Wart Nose could be going soon...wahooooo!
Ken was brilliant in the way he handled Jim (I would have simply left the big wuss to his own devices...nuff respect Ken)....
Lance needs to GET OVER IT!
Steve still can't act but bless him....it looks like he could be under alot of pressure from Gabriel in the future!
Loving the old new guy (can't remember his name...but the one who was winding up Lance).
Pandora 18-12-2004, 10:34 PM The old cop is Roger Valentine, Coastie ... luv him, he is a good actor so hopefully he might give Steve Hunter a few lessons, he is cringeworthy.
Gabriel - yes Im confused too. Nobody has mentioned he has been in the army have they? :huh: I thought it was the Navy, too.
Ive got a big juicy spoiler, if anyones interested, below:-
**
Abi Nixon goes home with Hugh the creepy profiler and becomes pregnant by him ! DS Nixon is horrified at news of the pregnancy and formulates a plan with Phil Hunter to get her brainwashed daughter out of the clutches of El Creepo ! :blink:
Coastie 18-12-2004, 10:45 PM Oooooh exciting stuff Pan....
And I still think that the map of 'Sun Hill' looks a bit like a big floppy willy?
Pandora 18-12-2004, 10:51 PM I must have a look at the map of Sun Hill. Where is it? I need to see the big floppy willy for meself !
By the way, lovin that avatar Coastie .... :laugh:
Coastie 18-12-2004, 10:53 PM Cheers Pan...I thought I'd get a bit festive.... :laugh:
The map is often on the wall behind the actors...it is obviously showing the 'Sun Hill' patch which sits in a sharp bend in the river......just look and you will see the similarities between it and a big floppy willy! :blink:
MariaRob 20-12-2004, 10:09 AM I think its a bit far fetched that Abi Nixon becomes pregnant by the creep man. Also she is under 16 so couldnt Sam make her a ward of court or do something, especially as she is a police woman and should be in the know. What I want to know is when Sam is going to get it on with Chisle features - sexy Phil Hunter???
Bella 22-12-2004, 01:11 PM Another quick notie......did anyone else notice that during Wednesday nights episode the SNIPER said to Gabriel that basically their common bond was their time in the army....I thought Gabriel had been in the Navy not the Army?
The thing I don't get with that is that Gabriel was in the Navy as David Kent was he not? I thought he took his brother's identity once he got out of the Navy. You would think that if they suspected Gabriel was doing anything dodgy they would start looking into his family background and discover his secret, don't you think? :huh:
Coastie 24-12-2004, 08:39 AM Gabriel openly said when he joined Sun Hill that he had been in the Navy which is why I was a little surprised with how well Smiffy got on with him...initially.....as he is ex-army and well there's usually a bit of healthy banetr between the services!
Anyway I noticed that they are saying now that the Sniper is ex SBS (Special Boat Service)...this could loosely explain how he came to know Gabriel but the SBS is more for the Marines than the Army who do more along the SAS side of things......It's all very wishy washy but here's hoping the sour faced M.I.T. detective will dig something up just out of her own curiosity! :devil:
Eeeeeeeeeew what is Smiffy doing snogging Wart Nose and did you notice that the shop Dummy still can't give any other expression than that of well a shop Dummy even when he sees Wart Nose and Smiffy together..... :sick: SMIFFY DON'T DO IT! :sad:
Oh and back to the Gabriel thing....if Gabriel had injured his hands before dropping the Sniper, like he said he did, then the Sniper would have Gabriels blood all over his hands.....just a thought! :unsure:
MariaRob 30-12-2004, 12:37 PM Did Rob Thatcher get shot dead yesterday? Is Irene Radford dead? Why was Gina so upset being as she was a cold hearted killer. Also wouldnt Irene have been aware that Gina's radio was on, it just seemed she wouldnt be that daft. I love the Bill!!
iamacat 31-12-2004, 03:31 PM yeah mariarob, irene was about to surrender to the cops when Rob came and shot her dead then i think he was about to shoot two officers i think one was Ken and the other might have been Phil but i cant remember. and he wouldnt put his gun down so SO19 had no choice but to shoot him.
cat xx
Coastie 01-01-2005, 07:51 AM Yeahhhhhh...Sucky Teeth has bitten the bullet...wahooooo! :cool2:
Now....Phil sort your life out and Husky....don't be so hard on him luvvie...he's learnt a very valuable lesson the hard way!
karenh 01-01-2005, 03:39 PM Oh and back to the Gabriel thing....if Gabriel had injured his hands before dropping the Sniper, like he said he did, then the Sniper would have Gabriels blood all over his hands.....just a thought! :unsure:
Hey - I hadn't thought of that! Neither, it would seem, have the forensic team at Sun Hill. :laugh:
Coastie - you are brilliant! You really should think of joining the Force! :laugh:
Perhaps you can investigate Pandora's disappearance. I haven't seen her for ages, and I love reading her comments..... :sad:
Coastie 01-01-2005, 05:58 PM Pandora has retreated into her box and is currently drifting across the Atlantic in her quest for world peace and free red wine for all! :cool2:
Well it's better than thinking she's simply ignoring us! :sad:
Regards the Bill.....I just have a very inquisitive and creative mind and I did work with the Police for a while so it seems perfectly obvious to me that the forensic team would have checked the sniper for Gabriels blood! :unsure:
How on earth did Rob turn up out of the blue like that? :wacko:
I would have preferred an ending where Irene got into the helicopter and Rob (if he had to show up at all) ran to the copter and tried to climb on and it went up up and away and SO19 didn't want to shot cos of Rob and Rob was holding on for his life and then we cut to razor sharp stiletto emerging out of the helicopter and onto Rob's hand and he can't hold on anymore and falls and then SO19 shoot the helicopter down.
Pandora 04-01-2005, 04:10 PM Hey - I hadn't thought of that! Neither, it would seem, have the forensic team at Sun Hill. :laugh:
Coastie - you are brilliant! You really should think of joining the Force! :laugh:
Perhaps you can investigate Pandora's disappearance. I haven't seen her for ages, and I love reading her comments..... Im back, mah little chickadees .... :bye: Happy New Year to you all.
Sorry for the absence, but it was a combination of a holiday and then having relatives from Devon up for New Year and no access to the pooter cuz it wouldve looked rude ....
Anyway, down to business. Firstly, thank god Rob Sucky Teeth got shot. However, I have lots of questions re this episode:-
how on earth did Rob discover Irene Radfords wearabouts at the same time as the Police ??? how did he run through SO19's "ring of steel" around the armed Irene brandishing a revolver :rolleyes: and more to the point where on earth were all the senior officers ??????? An Inspector gets kidnapped by a notoriously unstable murderess, is driven all over Sun Hill at gunpoint, and theres no sign of Meadows, Okaro or even Dummy faced Neil Manson? And what a balls up the "kidnap detective" made of going to the house over the road from Irene's safe house ! Theyd have been better sat in their cars observing the house!
And why, if they were listening in to Gina Gold's radio and the ensuing conversation, didnt they triangulate the signal (as they can do with mobile phones), and find out where they were, instead of Gina having to leave clues in cigar ash for people to solve?
The episode was so full of plot holes ! and in the next episode we saw some bigwigs searching Rob Thatcher's desk and taking stuff away. Ummmm surely they wouldve done that a few weeks ago, when he went AWOL, brandishing a revolver and was running around with a gunshot wound ?????????????????:blink:
Coastie 04-01-2005, 07:06 PM Pan...you have said what I have wanted to say but thought I would be gobbing off to much if I did....I thank you...now wot in the beggebers was going on! :sad: :wacko:
MariaRob 05-01-2005, 11:20 AM Will it ever be revealed that Sucky Teeth was behind the racist mail sent to Akaro? Or is it never to be mentioned again? This gay wedding/kidnap is just plain DAFT.
I'm confused :wacko: I think I missed an episode. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Christmas I bet (humbug to that) I didn't know Lance had been kidnapped till tonight, but it was on "previously on the Bill." Just like I didn't know Dr Jim had been killed off in casualty, not did I know that it was a special with Holby city. I guess I have more of a life going on than I realised......
Pandora 06-01-2005, 10:53 PM Just how crap an actor was the guy that kidnapped Lance ? He seemed to have difficulty stringing a sentence together and made Lance (who is no great shakes actingwise himself), look like an Oscar winner !
The gay wedding was appallingly acted. Sgt Mark Rollins (Lance's partner) couldnt have done a more unconvincing fake "loving" gaze if he'd have tried.
Tonights episode with Ramani and Terry's family/brother and the child abuse case was superb. Incredible acting from all concerned - which just highlights how incredibly bad Steve Hunter, Lance, Honey Harman and Yvonne are.
Honey was held at gunpoint tonight and rather than look scared she looked as if she was wondering what to get from Tesco's after the shift was over.
And why has it gone so quiet about Abi National and Creepy Hugh? Have they forgotten about her going to live with him? Isnt she supposed to be only 16? In which case, she is her Mothers responsibility and so cant just go off with whomever she likes.
And isnt D I Manson fed up of delivering every single one of his lines in an overly sarcastic way whilst raising his eyebrows all the time ? :glare:
Coastie 09-01-2005, 08:06 AM Terry and Ramani were excellent and I thought the kid who played the abused son was also very good! :cool2:
The Dummy is getting more and more annoying....I have taken to flicking peanuts at the screen when he appears! :sick:
I'm glad Abi and Creepy Hugh have been put on the back burner...I was running out of peanuts! :wacko:
It has to be said Honey does blondes no favours.....Yvonne's story line seem to consist of her constantly helping out the wrong people (you think she would have learnt already) and as for Lance's wedding....what a joke...as has been said they looked no more in love than a cabbage and a cualiflower....appaulling acting! :sad:
Mariarob - the whole poison pen letters thing died a bit of a death when the mad councellor behind it all got sorted out....Sucky teeths involvement will forever remain a mystery I'm sure!
Pan...have you notice the big floppy willy yet?
Pandora 10-01-2005, 06:03 PM Coastie, its definitely a big floppy willy !!! I bet the props dept have a rite ol snigger everytime it appears .......:laugh:
Coastie 10-01-2005, 06:06 PM Well even if the props department doesn't I do! :laugh:
karenh 14-01-2005, 11:35 AM Ooooh - how good was last night's episode eh!
MariaRob 14-01-2005, 11:55 AM Hm I think its a bit far fetched that the normally feisty Abbi would be under the spell of creepy Hugh, who is old enough to be her father, not particularly attractive and DESPERATELY NEEDS SOME TEETH WHITENING. I like the way the Sam/Phil Hunter scenario is developing though¬

Well, I don't want to split hairs or anything, but actually the whole Sam Nixon/Hugh revenge plotline has been far fetched from beginning to end, not just the Abbi falling for Hugh bit! :laugh: :laugh:
Still, that's TV. And I'm loving it! :)

Good episode the other night though. Abi is as irritating as ever though :angry:
Coastie 17-01-2005, 07:19 AM I had to go out so......I read the story line for the Abi/Hugh episode and decided to go tape Judge John Deed instead...sorry to say I am finding it all a bit tedious and Abi cannot act for toot! :sad:
Coastie 20-01-2005, 07:16 PM Evil Hugh has been nicked but I'm guessing that during tonights episode he gets inside everyones heads again and starts twisting everything! :blink:
I am recording Judge John Deed again tonight so if anyone would like to give a run down of tonights episode of the Bill it would be much appreciated! :bye:

Bella 21-01-2005, 08:25 AM What has happended to Wartynose - did she die? I've not seen her and the dummy getting it together for quite some time now!
MariaRob 21-01-2005, 12:17 PM The Dummy has more serious things on his mind, like his father in law the Commissioner using the services of rent boys. That Suzie character reminds me of a Thunderbird puppet.
Pandora 21-01-2005, 02:32 PM What has happended to Wartynose - did she die? I've not seen her and the dummy getting it together for quite some time now! Last we saw of Warty Nose, she was snogging Smiffy at the Christmas Party much to the Dummy's disgust. She hasnt featured in any episodes since then I dont think, but she deffo isnt dead ...
Loved the last two episodes with the Abi storyline and the Huge Wallace finally getting his comeuppance (and hopefully some whitening toothpaste in prison), but tell me - how did Samantha Nixon get into Peter Baxter's flat? and how did Huge gain entrance through the front door a few hours later?
Anyone notice the new DC - Jo Master's has no lips??? :unsure: she is the absolute opposite of Jackie Stallone !!!!
Coastie 25-01-2005, 11:54 AM Husky got into Baxters flat by smashing a window...I know this because I saw the broken window in part of the show I did catch! :)
Huge probably had a key or something :huh:
Li'l miss No lips is annoying me already....Instant dislike there... :ranting:
The less Wartynose the better... :boxing:
MariaRob 27-01-2005, 12:20 PM Anyone see the Bill last night? See poor old drunken Marie came to a sticky end. The Dummy is devastated as he discovered his posh wife Phillipa was aware of her father’s liking for rent boys and didn’t share it with him. He will be sobbing on Wartnose’s shoulder v soon, mark my words!

I see the mad cleaner is working at the station .... there may be trouble aaahhheeead (does a little dance) :blush:
MariaRob 28-01-2005, 12:42 PM I agree. I love the way she keeps 'popping up' and talking in that sing song voice. Definitely a woman on a mission.
What about Honey ending up in bed with that wife killer then (you dont have to be Einstein to work that one out)!!!
Bella 28-01-2005, 12:56 PM What about Honey ending up in bed with that wife killer then (you dont have to be Einstein to work that one out)!!!

Lol, Coastie don't you just love a tryer but honestly I would be very concerned if there was anyone remotely like Gary in CID, scary isn't it? :shocking:
Coastie 11-02-2005, 10:09 AM That's just it Bella....there are Gary's at every station along with Reg's and Tony's and oooh so many wonderful characters..... :wink2:
MariaRob 11-02-2005, 01:32 PM Gary's heart is in the right place and he really wants to be a successful copper but like so many young men he is led by his d**k! I am glad June is getting some other kind of romantic interest with Roger Valentine if she had gone back to that fat selfish loser Jim again I would have SCREAMED!
Coastie 11-02-2005, 01:43 PM It has to be said the Jim and June relationship always made me squirm...they just didn't seem right together (always thought June should have gone with Tony out of the two of them) but now Roger is on the scene...well it's quite sweet really! :wub:
Pandora 11-02-2005, 04:37 PM It has to be said the Jim and June relationship always made me squirm...they just didn't seem right together (always thought June should have gone with Tony out of the two of them) but now Roger is on the scene...well it's quite sweet really! :wub: Ewwwwwwwwwww Jim's horrible deluded smiling devoted face every time he saw June on Wednesdays episode, freaked me out !!!! So creepy.
I think Roger and June make a rather nice couple (even though he sounds exactly like Gabriel).
Sorry, but I cant stand the new Superintendant - oh sorry - the new DC - Jo Masters. No top lip and swans around, walkin and talking to her superiors like she is doing them a favour.
Gary Best - frankly I could strangle him.
Ken Drummond - love him and Im gutted to see that he is due to be killed off in the next couple of weeks.
**Spoiler below **
Colin, the new probationary PC, is a racist and spits in PC Leela Kapors face. Smithy has a fit at him and chucks him out on his ear. Colin is full of threats and innuendo and so Gina Gold sends Ken to follow him. Ken is bashed on the head and finds himself in a van, crammed full of petrol cans. The van is seen careering toward the Sun Hill Reception where it crashes. It doesnt explode but there is petrol everywhere.
Reg Hollis is on the railway station platform and decides that he is going to phone Marilyn and ask her to marry him. The station explodes into flames. Is it Reg's mobile phone call to Marilyn's mobile that triggers the spark?
Ken is killed instantly.
Marilyn is fighting for her life in hospital.
Smithy is trapped.
Andrea warty nose (who conveniently has ALL the evidence against Gabriel) is trapped in a store room. Gabriel finds her and leaves her to burn (ahem, isnt this what Superintendant Chandler did to Kate, his girlfriend?).
Gabriel then rescues Smithy - and is hailed a hero :mad2:
Coastie 11-02-2005, 05:18 PM Flippin' eck does the action never stop....they seem to like killing everyone off lately and the level of violence is increasing.......I always thought Ken would die of a heart attack as he never stops eating......I don't want him to get blown up! :cry:
Wartnose dying wouldn't be a bad thing but I am getting tired of Gabe getting away with it all the time and Smiffy should just punch him on the nose....we wouldn't tell would we girls! :wink_kiss
NOTE:
Did anyone else find the new lime green paintwork in the front interview room a bit :sick:
Pandora 12-02-2005, 06:19 PM I never noticed the lime green paintwork ! I will check it out lol.
I agree about the level of violence and sensationalism in The Bill - its in danger of burning out isnt it ? (no pun intended).
Apparently Marilyn's injuries are horrific, and the make up quite horrid.
Coastie 12-02-2005, 08:26 PM C'mon Pan...first you missed the giant floppy willy in the background and now you missed the hideous green front interview room.....
I obviously get bored with the faces on the screen more than you do :wink2:
Unless of course it's Smiffy.....grrrr now I would miss and elephant crossing in the back of the shot in the cell block as longs as he's up front! :wub:
rainbow_chick 19-02-2005, 08:45 PM dont you think that smithy is the sexiest person ever?
anyway have you seen the plot outline for next week?
3 people are gonna die
do u know who?
i do!
Bella 20-02-2005, 06:32 PM Smiffy is lovely, I agree!! Tell you what though, if I was a police officer and had to transfer to Sun Hill I would be seriously thinking of a career move!! :ninja:
Coastie 20-02-2005, 06:48 PM Rainbow - check out Pans earlier post up the page...she says who lives and who dies! :thumbsup: - welcome by the way!
It would appear that the behind the scenes boys had some left over lime green paint....it was adorning the wall of a suspects office the other night...so thats the front interview room and a random office.....where next will the lime green paint brush strike! :ohmy:

Oooh Ive seen it now Coastie - not sure how I couldve missed it really. Pity its going up in flames soon lol.....
Coastie 21-02-2005, 06:59 PM The paint job is probably the reason the decided to have yet another bomb in go off in Sunhill....it is hideous!
Mansons head should have a nice target painted on it....!
Pandora 24-02-2005, 10:24 PM Blimey !!!!!!!!! Poor Ken eh???? what a lovely brave little soldier he was. Wearing that shirt I mean - not being blown into little bits in the back of a Halal van..... :w00t:
Why does Gabriel seem to be psychic? ie, whenever someone is talking about him, has just discovered evidence on him, he appears like a jack in a box out of nowhere, prompting me to want to shout "He's behiiiiiinnnnnddddd youuuuuuu". Honestly, his pantomime villainry is getting ridiculous.
Smiffy, thank god, survived and Ive put myself forward to give him bedbaths, every hour on the hour .... :naughty:
And the dummy FINALLY cracked his face, in a kind of squeaky, cryey sorta way. Poor warty nose.
Reg's denial at Marilyn's condition had me a bit lumpy throated though..... :sad:
and finally, we get to see the back of bloody Jim Carver, who is more contrary than Contrary Mary of the Dairy. Dunno about June, but he does MY head in !!!!

Is Jim being written out then? I saw the clip of next weeks when he thumps Roger Valentine - drrr - this is the wazzock who wed another woman whilst his fiancee was on holiday. Totally agree about Gabriel just appearing when anyone is talking about him, but that is what happens in soapland - any BIG secret is talked about in a loud voice usually in a public place when the subject is of course within earshot or just "passing by".

Well, Maria, this confused me a bit too ... I havent read anything about Jim the Loser being written out and yet last night, there he was doing the "walking away from June and going to sort out his head for a few months" routine, and yet next week he is hitting the bottle (and Roger) again! Very odd.
Coastie 26-02-2005, 07:38 AM June should get together with Roger...it's her turn to be rescued instead of floating around after the loser that is Jim! Glad he's gone!
Poor Reg...I'm sorry but I think it is soo cruel of the wrietrs to do that to Reg....bless him...I just want to hug 'im and say everything's gonna be alright....:cry:
How is Gabriel still getting away with it....my mum has stopped watching the show because she is so fed up with it. I can't believe that M.I.T didn't note the fact that the dead sniper guy didn't have Gabriels blood on his hands...afterall if Gabriel had hurt his hands before he dropped the sniper then the sniper would have blood on his hands for goodness sake and surely now Andreas buddy who sent the newspaper article will think to contact her boss aswell with the info since Andreas dead (horrah...sorry couldn't hold back on that one...woo woo wooo).
Ken....:cry:
It's been a very emotional week.....I think I need to take a month of work to get over it!
Pandora 12-03-2005, 11:09 PM Oooh anyone see this weeks episodes?
Neil Dummy Manson was well and truly sussed by his slightly scary/dominatrix looking wife about his bonking of warty nose.
Gabriel Kent seems to have undergone a personality change and is all serene and is actually helping people.
Yvonne, for some totally inexplicable reason, is being chased by a dishy A&E doctor.
Honey Harman and her revolving eyeballs is engaged to a suspected murderer and seems to be the only person in the station to not see that he is a control freak and a nutter.
Phil Hunter is looking more monkey like every week.
and ..... (spoiler coming up)
Gina Gold is about to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and have to have gruelling treatment, which eventually leads to her exit from the show (nooooooooooooooooo she is the BEST bloomin actress in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
and
The increasingly irritating Sheelagh, (her out the Nolans), snogs Gabriel !!!!! :sick: urrrppppppp .....

Yvonne, for some totally inexplicable reason, is being chased by a dishy A&E doctor.Ahhh bless...Yvonne is a goodie she deserves a bit of romance!
Honey Harman and her revolving eyeballs is engaged to a suspected murderer and seems to be the only person in the station to not see that he is a control freak and a nutter.Maybe he'll kill her and then we wont have to watch her rolling her eyes every two seconds any more!
Phil Hunter is looking more monkey like every week.You know what....he is!...it's very, very freaky!

Gina Gold is about to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and have to have gruelling treatment, which eventually leads to her exit from the show (nooooooooooooooooo she is the BEST bloomin actress in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

MariaRob 14-03-2005, 11:52 AM For the first time in about 20 years of following The Bill we havent been watching. I think yet another explosion with the killing off of certain characters and the way Gabriel constantly gets away with it in the middle of a police station has left us jaded and bored with it. I cant believe Gina is being written out, I think perhaps the show has at last run its course.
Coastie 17-03-2005, 06:48 PM It's happened...Gina has received her diagnosis! :sad:
Pandora 17-03-2005, 11:16 PM It's happened...Gina has received her diagnosis! :sad: I know :unsure: ... I dont like it. I dont want her to leave.
Honey Harman and her revolving eyeballs is doing my head in. She is a copper for goodness sake and cant see that her new boyfriend is a controlling nutter ! If someone rang you five or six times a day at work, wouldnt you wonder if he was a bit doo lally??
Shelagh and Gabriel kissed tonight (ugggggggh).
Coastie 18-03-2005, 03:17 AM Shelagh and Gabriel kissed tonight (ugggggggh).

Oooh yes, DO fast forward when you get to the snogging. Its vile. Gabriel goes all smirky afterwards too - eeeevil man.
Honey of the rolling eyeballs is so thick !!!! And I dont know how you can think Gary Best is sweet ....... argggggghhhhh he irritates the life out of me! He never ever learns from his mistakes !
Jo Masters is growing on me though. She still talks to everyone like shes the Superintendent but she is a blooming good actress.
I still miss Ken though :sad:

Honey Harman - is she related to Crighton from Red Dwarf or David Coulthard, racing driver. They all have the square jaw-line. Eeek, I don't think I would be dating someone so quickly just after their wife had been murdered - talk about on the rebound!!
Gabriel must have a thing for the older woman, first there was June and now Shelagh. I still don't understand why June doesn't blow the whistle on Gabriel and say who he really is!
Gary Best - God love him, but his head is full of wee "hooses" but nobody is at home!
Gina Gold - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Gina is fab, the show won't be the same without her!
Pandora 21-03-2005, 05:25 PM LOL at Honey and her big square jaw ! Good one Bella. I still cant believe they are allowing THE best actress in the soap to go ! Im hoping they leave the door open for Gina Gold to return.
Not sure what it is about Gabriel that all these women see..... he has to be the most obnoxious copper in the station, and yet seems to have snogged most of them ! (OK Kerry, he forced himself onto....).

Coastie and I have erected a small shrine in Kens memory. It consists of a small altar draped with his favourite orange and yellow hawaiian shirt, and a burger king quarter pounder surrounded by candles..... :cry:
Ere, that Abbi National has gone quiet hasnt she? Bet Hughs trial will be coming up soon....
Apparently Mickey Webb makes a reappearance in The Bill soon *perk*....
Coastie 25-03-2005, 04:15 AM Can I place french fries at the shrine? I think Ken would love that! :cry:
Mickey...yay...love Mickey! :wub:
So what about the camp front office boy...possible affair for Lance?? :naughty:
Isn't Husky away bonding with her irksome daughter at the mo? :unsure:
I'm just waiting for the aliens to invade and kill off a few more of the stars that don't want to renew their contracts....or do you think there will be another bomb?
Actually we had a 999 call here once where a woman was requiring assistance in the removal of aliens from her cupboard.....apparently they were trying on her clothes so the operator asked if they fit and was told 'Of course not their bl**dy aliens' to which he replied...'Well I shouldn't worry then madam because if the clothes don't fit they are not likely to steal them, howver if you are still concerned have you tried the police?'...reply...'yes and they told me to call you!'...

Awww Ken will love the french fries. Ohhhhhhhh @ his little face in those pics. RIP Ken (now toast).
Last nights Bill was fab. Some great comedy timing from Terry and Jo Masters, and Gary Best was just so ghastly it was genius !! What a fantastic idea to put him in charge of an Obbo.........and wasnt he awful when he was sucking up to the new DI - all nods and winks and gurning, then going downstairs to diss all his (ex) mates in uniform, like some pr*t. Lol! It was fantastic.
Im LOVIN the new, camp receptionist Coastie. So efficient, So unimpressed by everything and everyone lol. I reckon if there IS another bomb, he would be able to defuse it !! But NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO @ an affair with the ever wooden Lance ! He doesnt deserve the screen time !
I hope the actors in the Bill who wish to leave are :- Amber, Honey the thicko, Steve Hunter, Lance and Shelagh.
The guy that is playing Honeys boyfriend is doing a fantastic job. He really IS unnerving when he has his violent rages. Excellent actor.
I hope Smiffy is back soon, we need a bit of totty in the station ! Lol. Reg Hollis is just not enough!
Luv the aliens story Coastie, how VERY kind of the Police to pass the lady onto your service .... :mellow:

Well, here is a little spoiler but I dont know how accurate it is:-
'Superintendant Okaro finds it hard to cope after losing his family' (does this mean that they die? :unsure:
Coastie 23-04-2005, 04:50 PM Forget Okara (although if he were to get blown away it would benefit the show...IMHO)...will someone pleeeeeeease slap Honey 'Bowling ball eyes' about the head with a very large baseball bat....gosh I cringe every time she pops up on the screen....
More Smiffy (he's being so sweet lately with Gina...very sad she ahs no-one to share with but hey if you have no-one then what better to fall back on Smiffy...bless him! :wub: )

More Smiffy (he's being so sweet lately with Gina...very sad she ahs no-one to share with but hey if you have no-one then what better to fall back on Smiffy...bless him! :wub: )
Good grief - just HOW scary looking is Honey Harman and her revolving bowling ball eyes? She is so peculiar. She also seems to feel the need to say the word "Scott" in every sentence when speaking to him.
Ramani (or RAMMMMani as everyone now seems to be calling her) and Terry seem to be getting closer, eh? eh? nudge nudge.....
Margaret the cleaner needs a damn good scaring if you ask me. If she were stalking me and "trying to mess with my head" like she is with Ramani, it'd be the last thing she ever did !!! :glare:
One thing that really is irritating the life out of me is Gina's cancer scare. She went to the doctors for her diagnosis last month and within three weeks is receiving treatment - both chemotherapy AND radiotherapy.
This does NOT happen. We have had two instances of cancer in our family and on both occasions there was a waiting list for chemo and radiation treatment. Both family members were treated quickly, admittedly, but they had to wait 9 weeks from the original diagnosis. NOT three weeks.
Also, you have either chemotherapy or radiation treatment - you do NOT have them at the same time as the body's immune system simply cannot cope. You have your chemotherapy first - have a couple of weeks to recover from your last stint - and then you have your course of radiotherapy.
If Gina Gold was having both at the same time, she would be in hospital within a week and her hair would drop out in three days.
It does annoy me that these programmes increasingly use such poetic licence. Its like Eastenders where you can put your house on the market, have it valued, viewed, contracts exchanged, surveys done, searches done, contracts signed - all in a week.

Coastie 24-04-2005, 06:55 AM Pan......calm down it's only a TV drama...although I quite agree they are rushing the whole process a bit and Gina seems to be rather perky after treatments IMHO...people I have known to have such treatment have been totally whacked afterwards! It was interesting listening to Radio 2 the other day and they were saying that as a result of Soaps (particularly Corrie and Eastenders) people are self diagnosing more and telling the doctors what is wrong with them based on what they have seen on the TV.....apparently a staggering 9/10 people have admitted to doing this! Just goes to show the power of television! :ohmy:
Just put me and Honey in a ring and... :boxing:
Ramani is scaring me as much as her stalker....she keeps doing this freaky stare thing during which her eyes tend to pop from her head a bit......most strange....but yeah Ramani and Terry...ahhhhh bless...although PC Valentine is also a bit close dispite the Scarey Stalker and the stairs incident! :naughty:

Lol ! You went all Michael Winnery on me there with your calming.... Okay Im calm now... :w00t: can you tell?
I agree about Ramani and the scary eyes. She does seem to go slightly trancey and then pop! :shocking: out come the eyeballs. Not a patch on Honey's scary eyeballs though, they look like ping pong balls with eyes drawn on...
Im not sure about PC Valentine anymore. I dont know whether he fancies her, dislikes her because she is asian, is a backstabber or just a chauvinist. A very complex character. I quite like Terry (despite the ski slope nozza), and hope they get together - although Im wondering if he will get "close" to his brother's wife when his trial starts.
There's been a nice bit of Smiffy action lately - which is nice, but not enough Reg !!
I cant wait for Okaro to go off the rails. Maybe Jack will be made Superintendent? Oooooh be still my beating heart :wub:
Pandora 07-05-2005, 05:20 PM Coastie have you been watching The Bill? Okara's family being killed was quite sad but his acting has been crap lol.......
Margaret is getting scarier, although I think the way Ramani has fallen apart so quickly is a little ridiculous, she seems to be made of stronger stuff....
Terry finds the loon in Ramani's house and he and Margaret have a bit of a scrap, but she has a knife :mellow:
Coastie 09-05-2005, 12:15 PM True about Okara...I don't know whether he is trying to play the role of a man who is desperately sad that he has lost his family or someone who has trapped wind.....either way his eye popping, furrowed brow and lip quivering is rather intriguing to watch even if it bares no relevance to what is happening in the characters life! :w00t:
Ramani...Ramani...pull yourself together woman! Hopefully Terry can put an end to it all! :boxing: Gotta love our Tel!
More Smiffy please!
MariaRob 09-05-2005, 12:46 PM Can anyone explain why Margaret the barmy cleaner is ALWAYS there in the police station. We never see our cleaners, they come after we have left at around 7.pm and wherever I have worked cleaners are never there in the day with the working staff . Why then is Margaret is every scene almost at all times of the day? Totally bizarre!
Coastie 09-05-2005, 02:05 PM The same thought has crossed my mind from time to time...even when I worked for the Police I never saw a full time cleaner at the station....they would pop in for a few hours in the morning and then dissapear! :huh:
Very odd!

I can see Terry and Ramani getting closer cant you? oooh bit of romance there mebbe.
As for Sam Nixon and Phil - Jeeeez - please dont inflict their snogging on us !! All this coy flirty eyed looking at Phil, from Sam is making me ill. There is just something about that actress I dont like...
Coastie 14-05-2005, 07:09 AM TERRY....NOOOOOOO!
If they kill him off I shall b e suitably peed off I can tell ya!
Run Ramani run!
Pandora 14-05-2005, 03:29 PM How ridiculous.
Terry - who in the past has disarmed bank robbers, been on operations where he has tackled big thugs using just his strength, suddenly cant handle an obviously mentally disturbed woman with a knife? Who suddenly decides not to contact anyone at the station about Margarets little shrine, only Ramani, and by mobile phone at that, rather than by the phone on her desk?
And how did Margaret get from Ramani's house to the Police station covered in blood without anyone stopping her? I presume she walked.... :mellow:
Like you, Coastie - I hoping Terry doesnt cark it. I can see a sniff of romance between him and Ramani building.....
Coastie 14-05-2005, 03:44 PM In fairness to Terry....he thought Ramani had gone home or at least left the station...so the mobile call to her was his logical option in contacting her......unfortunately he was a little to trusting regards Magaret in thinking that she would be stable enough to keep hold of the knife whilst he was distracted with his call to the ambulance service...he was looking at his phone when she struck....silly boy should have got the knife first yes but hopefully he will have th oportunity to learn from that lesson!
Margeret flew to the station on her broom stick so wouldn't have been spotted...... :ninja:
Coastie 20-05-2005, 10:03 PM Terry...yay! :thumbsup:
Terry and Ramani..... :wub:
Okara and his wild scarey eyed approach to acting :pooh:
Phil...now seems to have a stalker of his own...although she is apparently carrying his baby......guess the writers enjoyed the Margret/Ramani story so much their going to repeat it! Husky needs to get over it!
Lance....can he be blown up or shot...really, really bored of him now! :glare: ...oh and if Steve Hunter can be with him at the time maybe they can share their near identical look of anguish as they go boom! :naughty:
Not enough Smiffy at the mo and well bless her old gravel breath has finally told okara about her cancer....he was an insensitive bum wipe it has to be said....but at the same time his acting is so bad I'm amazed the graveller didn't laugh in his face!

Okaro's acting has been abysmal.

Coastie 03-06-2005, 07:07 AM Oh for goodness sake Yvonne ditch Honey Harman...she is obviously a selfish cow who only ever thinks about how everyone is letting her down and that you should be supporting her 101% all the time wether you agree with her or not...let her run off with her pyscho husband and maybe he can pop her over a handy cliff or something! :mad:

Lance does my head it, its official. He has to be the worst actor Ive ever seen on that show.
Okaro, now he has been given some proper dialogue and requested to do real acting, is failing dismally.
Why has Ramani started dressing like she has found a dressing up box in the attic and got dressed in dark? That pink coat is horrendous!
Gina, the only really decent actress is leaving The Bill. God help us.
Honey Harman and Scott the new hubby's eyes are equally bulbous, huge, blue, watery and seem to revolve of their own accord. We can only be grateful they wont be allowed to breed, otherwise in the pushchair will be sat just one big blue eye, blinking vacantly.
How smug is PC Dan Caspars face? And yet again, seriously challenged in the acting dept.
The worst culprits re rubbish acting are :-
Lance
Steve Hunter
Dan Caspar
Honey Harman
Terry (sorry Coastie but sometimes he is awful, sometimes good)
Smithy (gorgeous but so wooden at times with that emotionless face)
Coastie 06-06-2005, 05:44 AM I've been practicing my facial expressions for 'The Bill' :
Shocked - eye's wide with very slight twitchy eyeball movement - mouth agape.
Bewildered - eye's wide and popping from head - lower lip sucked in slightly.
Concerened - eye's wide with slight furrowing of the brow - lips slightly parted.
Hurt - half frown - best if only displayed on left or right side of face - bottom lip slight pertruding.
Angry - full frown - stare at spot on floor about 6ft ahead of you - lips pulled in tight.
Love - eyes wide and rolling - lips in half pout.
I'm doing really well...I think I'll go for an audition next week! :thumbsup:
Coastie 30-06-2005, 02:36 AM Just keeping the thread alive! :wink2:
I’m a bit disappointed that Gabriel told Sheila that he killed the sniper, even if did leave bits out about killing Kerry.
Would have been so much better if June had just got on the case, which it seems like she is going to do.
Can anyone remember if Kerry was the only one who knew that Gabriel isn’t really Gina’s son? And is it only Smiffy and Gina that think that he is?
I presume that Gabriel told Sheila that he killed the sniper to get her of his case, and not some weak moment or guilt trip cos that is so out of character for him.
Gutted that Gina is leaving, she is one of the few characters that keep it real.
Another wooden actor is the sex addict Phil got pregnant.
I like Zane (sp?) fit!
Bella 01-07-2005, 06:50 PM Last night in The Bill who was the girl who played the escort? I recognised her face from something but can't think what it was........anyone help?
MariaRob 04-07-2005, 11:03 AM Why is Sheila stalking Gabriel. She is REALLY getting on my nerves, especially after the last catastophe after having an affair with Desi. Every other scene she seems to be asking him if he is interested in her, she is about 10 years older then him an all. Give us a break Shee.
Coastie 04-07-2005, 05:25 PM Bob....Gabriel stole the identity of June Acklands son not Ginas...he pretended to be Junes son who she had adopted a zillion years ago when she was to young to bring uo a child. Anyway her son was adopted by a couple who then ignored Gabriel (who's real name is David Kent) ...he became resentful of the real Gabriel who emigrated to the U.S. just as his application form for the Police Service came through...David pretended to be Gabriel and got into the police...he requested Sun Hill so he could get close to June...indeed he succeeded in shagging her...he then revealed himself as her son..she naturally freaked but he eventually told her the truth and she located her real son just before he moved to the states...only she didn't say anything to him...she just pretended to view the house he was selling...anyway she hasn't told anyone about Gabriel as she fears she will lose her job etc..etc as Gabriel has that over her....
Anyway...Andrea wart nose found out who he really was and died in the fire but before her Kerry twigged all was not right and so he shot her.
All very simple really...not a jot over complicated or fantasy like!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Pandora 20-07-2005, 05:38 PM God, just when you think the acting couldnt get worse, they bring in PC Dan Caspar !!!!!!!
He is terrible! He makes Lance and Steve Hunter look positively shakespearian.
As for Adam Okaro being oblivious to the "charms" of his good friend Isaac.......not much of a copper is he?
Coastie 21-07-2005, 07:01 AM I have three words to sum up my feelings at this time:
GARY DON'T GO! :cry: :sad:
Gary's a great character!! It will be so much more boring without him!
At least it's open for his return.
I couldn't really find much about it on the internet, but I heard he'd been axed, which I can't really understand because he's a fantastic actor and character and everyone seems to like him. Can't find much though.
MariaRob 21-07-2005, 12:43 PM I will miss Gary Go in With All Guns Blazing. Glad he has patched up his differences with Suzi. Couldnt get my head around his mum tho who was the cleaner in Early Doors and the cleaner in Coronation Street, expected her to get our her Pledge at any moment! I think the Adam Okaro spliff smoking incident is a bit far fetched, it wasnt so long ago there was all that hoo ha over having that cannabis planted in his car, would he really be so daft as to smoke a spliff with an ex drug dealer in an apartment with all those windows?
Bella 21-07-2005, 02:15 PM Sorry but I must be the only person who is glad to see the back of Gary. He was a dense as fog and how on earth he managed to get into CID, I'll never know! :ohmy:
Coastie 21-07-2005, 02:43 PM That's just it Bella...he's the comical side of the police :sad:

It was funny to begin with but like Pan says, it did start to wear a bit thin. It was the gormless look on his face that annoyed me. And the sad thing is, is that there are probably policemen just like dotted around our stations, which to me is very, very frightening! :ohmy:

Trique 23-07-2005, 11:11 AM I used to really enjoy this thread but sadly I haven't watched the bill for months. Has gary really left? Oh well he was a bit useless wasn't he.
mariarob, was garys mum the woman Edna in coronation street who died and her sister turned up at the funeral and it was the same actress!!!!
I can't think of another cleaner so it must be her.
MariaRob 28-07-2005, 12:00 PM Read that nasty Gabriel Kent is to come to his end very soon by falling from a tall building - hurrah - anything to stop Sheila following him around and saying "foine".
Who really cares about the romantic fumblings of PC Casper and the drugs councellor - YAWN!

Husky needs to stay a bit more subjective...I mean I know he was helpful but she was getting a little to close to the rapist guy wasn't she...what's she like eh!

MariaRob 01-09-2005, 02:22 PM Did anyone see The Bill last night? When Siobarn, Sheila’s daughter, was in the patrol car with Gabriel and Reg, she got tea splashed all over herself and her nice sugar pink top, then in the next scenes, no stains whatsoever!!! Can someone advise me of the invisible stain remover please?
no maria- didn't notice that I was too busy watching the storm brewing behind me and I couldn't get into the bill last night as I felt I had missed some but I was sure I hadn't, but a lot didn't make sense. Then flicking through the TV maag today I see the Bill was on tuesday night too while the rest of the world was watching messiah :sad:
Pah! why mess around with the schedules
Coastie 01-09-2005, 07:11 PM Ahhh Maria you were not alone in this observation.... :thumbsup:
My understanding is that Sunhill Police cars have a vanish spray built into the car door rim so as you step out it coats you in stain remover making your appearance smart and squeaky clean for whatever the occasion!
It's all getting a bit exciting though....hopefully Gabriel does the lemming leap soon and I have to say I am liking the new super...she's pretty good!
Smithy needs to get his trousers sorted out...what is he thinking...I hope nothing nasty happens to him....
MariaRob 02-09-2005, 10:09 AM Talking of tops, I really loved that green cardi top with the flowers that the drugs councillor had on, I don’t suppose anyone would know where I could get one.

June irritates me full stop.
It was a good episode last night, but surely.... SUUUURELY Gabriel isnt going to be let off the hook yet again ??? I mean, it would really be stretching it if someone else who had discovered his little secret met a sticky end.
Not sure if Im looking forward to the live episode - Im always nervous for them in case they dry up lol...
As for the new Superintendent - I cant believe they expect us believe she is so crap, having reached the higher ranks. Mind you, Supt Chandler comes to mind and he was a nutcase wasnt he?
I hope its not true that Gina Gold is leaving, I think she is a superb actress.
I shall be watching tonight, and hope and pray that the crappest actors on The Bill are shot by the gunman .......... so here's hoping PC Dan Caspar is up for the chop, along with the terminally crap PC Steve Hunter and Lance.
Coastie 23-09-2005, 06:44 AM Oh and how predictable was that....I only said to my lodger the other night...I bet Gabrials brother gets shot and will conviniently die at some stage so the ever increasinly boring story line can continue..... :pooh:

I simply couldnt believe it Coastie. How many more repeat storylines are we going to get of Gabriel has a nasty secret/someone discovers said secret/that someone gets maimed or killed/Gabriel manages to twist it so he looks the hero.
Its starting to get silly.
I have to say I watched the live episode through my fingers. And with good reason. I have NEVER in my entire life seen so many people suddenly decide to drop their previously good acting and replace it with gurning, hammy acting and shouting as loud as they can to get their point across.
Khan(?) the CID Chap, Phil Hunter, Tony Stamp, the gunman's wife and Terry in particular were appalling, IMO. Dan Caspar was a bag of poo as usual (and unfortunately didnt cop the bullet in the head).
Gina, Yvonne, Gabriel and Meadows were the only ones who seemed to be acting their usual selves.
They did well admittedly, as a live show must be a nightmare to carry off - but there were an awful lot of mistakes werent there? Tony Stamp in particular was rubbish and kept getting his cues wrong.
As for the female Superintendant - who no doubt has bitched and clawed her way to the top of the tree in the force - suddenly became this red headed barbie doll, with no sensitivity, tact or common sense, who started the whole gunman thing off in the first place and then suddenly decided that she couldnt handle the situation and handed it over to Okaro. All so the storyline would pan out.
Shoddily written and dreadfully acted. And the shouting and loud bangs scared next doors cat (who'd popped round for some tuna lol).
Coastie 23-09-2005, 09:00 AM I saw the sound boom a couple of times to Pan! :bag:

The Super Bimbo obviously has nicked everyone elses ideas to get to the top but surely her totally uselessness in high stress situations would have been noted earlier in her career!

MariaRob 23-09-2005, 09:49 AM I actually quite enjoyed it! I do agree tho that the storyline was pants, I mean holding up a police station and shooting innocent people just because the police dont have enough evidence to charge the driver with the murder of his son, surely if he was that deranged he would have shot the boy and his family.

Was it ever explained how the real Gabriel kent knew that June was his mother and that she worked at Sunhill?
It wasn't that long ago that she went round to his house (in the UK) under the pretence of viewing it becasue he was moving to the USA. That wasn't the same bloke was it? I did recognise him, but maybe from something else (he's been in a few things) I don't remember the real Gabriel being someone I'd seen before.
it does all come out though, surely becasue Toddy is leaving.
I couldn't believe either how Super prosser suddenly became a complete bag of eels. WTF? She's supposed to be a hard faced copper.
Oh well :unsure:

I remember June snooping around the real Gabriels house and holding his child (her granddaughter) and then he moved to the US. But maybe we missed a couple of episodes where June 'fessed up???? I dunno. I think it was the same actor, but no idea how he is all okay about June being his mum and knowing where she works.
I think Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is leaving too (thank god), so maybe the bogus Gabriel goes out with a bang (a la Cathy Madford) and takes Shelagh with him. Here's hoping Lance and Dan get caught up in it too.
Is the producer blind and deaf, I wonder? They really are appalling actors, compared to everyone else.
Coastie 24-09-2005, 06:49 PM June knows all about Gabriel but because her real son was off to the states and she would have been made to look a fool she has said nothing...Gabriel manipulated her fully and concisely into keeping her mouth shut.....
I am still dying to meet my neighbours brother who is supposed to be visiting them soon as he writes some of the scripts for the show....although his name hasn't appeared latey (hopefully because he is as flumoxed and horrified by the pants story line as we are).... :pooh:
Wow tonights episode was great. I hope the real gabriel pulls through. Doubts the imposter Gabriel would have been able to get into that hospital room unseen in RL, but nay matter.
At last the real truth came out, June knows all about Kerry and Andrea.
Please no more about Terry's family it's boring! Move on- next!
Did I miss something? Who is that woman that Phil is with and did lil bro Steve sleep with Kate? I don't remember misssing an episode recently unless this happened way back in August when I was on hol.

The woman that Phil Hunter is with is his wife, Cindy, who used to be in it quite a lot a couple of years ago, then Phil got the boxing promotors wife up the duff (Madison was the result) and they split.
Steve Hunter ( who gets more appalling week by week acting-wise) slept with squeaky voiced Kate, despite knowing she was Phil's girlfriend AND pregnant with his baby. Phil found out about it and beat him up and now dislikes him intensely and will have nothing to do with pregnant Kate (thats why Steve is so guilty).

Oooh Coastie, did you see Gabriel plunge to his death? It was a bit ridiculous that June and Smithy allowed him to manipulate them right to the end though. The fight was quite realistic between Smiffy and Gabe (the make up ladies mustve had a field day with the blood and bruises).
Just a pity that Gabe didnt take Saint June with him when he jumped off the roof.
Nice touch hearing the screams of shock from far below, on the ground. Oh and I liked the fact that he confessed to raping Kerry, killing Kerry, killing Andrea, killing his brother, organising the sniper and the list of victims and kidnapping Shergar. (Okay, okay so the last one was a fib :laugh: )
The Terry/Ben/Lucy/Abuse storyline is getting to be annoying now. I like Terry but they dont seem to be giving him much to do at the moment apart from brood and shout at Ramani (who he seems to have forgotten is Acting D.I. and yet he yells at her like she is the cleaner).
Whats happened to the shop window dummy (D.I. Manson)? Is he on holiday?
He will be gutted when he finds out that Gabriel killed Andrea warty nose by leaving her in the fire.
Pandora 17-10-2005, 06:27 PM Im hoping there is going to be a Guy Fawkes night tragedy in The Bill this year, where PC Dan Caspar, Steve Hunter, Lance and Honey Harman all fall into the bonfire and go up in flames.
They should burn well, they're wooden enuf ! :glare:
Coastie 18-10-2005, 08:02 PM LOL Pan....:laugh:
Sooo glad the Gabriel twisted cop story line has finally ended...talk about flogging a dead donkey!
And there was me thinking we were shot of the boggley eyed Okara... :sad:
Still at least Gina's back and Smiffy is still on the scene!
