BIG BROTHER - After Armageddon

Friday night's evictions promised fireworks and I guess that we weren't let down, as Biannca (unsurprisingly, maybe?) was the first to be booted out - where she met Emma on the stage, who looked slightly concerned at the possibility of dong her first topless interview! Of course it wasn't Emma who flashed her bits - it was Biannca - again!

The shocker for me came when Zoe and Pav - now fully-fledged housemates - chose Danielle as the housemate that they wanted to evict - as much as it made sense afterwards, at the time I was genuinely surprised. Of course, their first option - Kimberly - was in hospital and we were told on Saturday that she would not be returning to the house.

Was you shocked to see Danielle go?

Steven seems fine with this - as he spoke to her in hospital, and she told him she was backing him and Helen to win - but I think, had she not been unwell and that if Pav and Zoe had chosen to evict Kim, Steven would have walked, too...

The house seems calmer after the Armageddon craze - which I still believe could have been a little harder on the housemates - and I think that normal nominations have resumed - meaning that the housemates would have nominated either yesterday or will make their choices today. It'll be interesting to see who picks who - and I'm thinking that quite a number of housemates could be up this week, due to the wide variety of nominations that I'm expecting.

Who do you want to be up this week?

Will you miss Kimberly?

And did you expect Biannca and Danielle to be the evicted ones?

EASTENDERS - Bye bye, Butchers

As you may already know, Walford will soon be waving goodbye to Bianca Butcher - as actress Patsy Palmer heads off to the lights of Hollywood!

But, sadly, Patsy's departure will also mean that her youngest on-screen children, Tiffany and Morgan, will be leaving too.

Bye Bye Bianca!

EastEnders bosses confirmed yesterday that Maisie Smith and Devon Hicks would be going, albeit regretfully - they thought that this was the only option as Bianca would never leave her two smallest kids behind.

Bianca, Tiffany and Morgan's exit story is still to be revealed, but as it's also been confirmed that B's on/off boyfriend Terry Spraggan and his children Rosie and TJ are also set to leave, maybe the six will go off and live elsewhere - happily ever after, in Soapland, for once!

Will you miss Tiffany and Morgan?

Bianca's eldest son Liam and step-daughter Whitney will remain in Albert Square, living with their nan, Carol and auntie Sonia, no doubt.

The trio have reportedly already filmed their final scenes, so will be leaving at the end of this summer.

Patsy has, of course, left and returned to EastEnders in the past - but could this be the last we see of her and are you sad to see Bianca and the Butcher kids go?

The Singer Takes It All!

Alan Carr is set to host a brand new singing competition on Channel 4, called The Singer Takes It All!

This is an interactive tongue-in-cheek talent show, where viewers will be able to decide who wins and who gets chucked (literally!) off a moving (yes, moving!) stage by voting via an App.

Alan Carr shows off his stage skills! 

Fan favorites will move forward, into the Gold Zone, and be eligible to win a cash prize, but if too many 'miss' votes are cast - that singer will be shunted off the back of the stage.

While there are no judges, it is expected that celebrity guests will take part and give advice to the acts.

Chatty Man, Alan Carr, has expressed his excitement at being the show's host, saying:

"I've never been involved in anything ground breaking before!" he joked. "This app makes people at home the judge and jury, and I love that aspect of it. The viewers get to decide whether the singer wins or disappears through the flaps to a life of misery. If you don't get the app, you don't have any influence on what happens on the show. Of course, you could try shouting at the telly instead, but it won't make a blind bit of difference!"

The Singer Takes It All app is available now on iOS and will be ready for Android shortly, with the app currently telling fans that the first live show will be on the 1st August.

Will you be tuning in or downloading the app?

BIG BROTHER - It's eviction night, for two...

It's Friday, which means that it's eviction time later on in Big Brother's world.

As we already know, all of our original housemates are up for the chop, bar Helen, who's got her Golden Ticket to the final. We also know that it's the three new housemates who will choose the evictee.
Unbeknownst to the newbies - they, too, are up for the chop with us public people deciding which one needs to go.

Who do you think the newbies will choose to evict, and which newbie do you want out?

I'm still unsure about who Biannca, Zoe and Pav will choose to leave - their minds seem to change with each new conversation that they have!

Who will the newbies decide to kick out - and how will they react when
they realise that one of them will be booted out, too?

Biannca certainly doesn't seem over keen on Kimberly, and Zoe has mentioned that she hasn't really spoken much to Kim either...so it could be her.
Steven's name has been thrown into the mix, but I think that the girls changed their minds about him last night, while Pav keeps on wanting to evict who he thinks us, the public, want out. If he goes by crowd reaction, it could be anyone, as the boos and cheers change from week to week.
It would be interesting to split Kim and Steven up. But if she goes, he won't cope with not knowing what she's up to, so I think he'd walk. If he goes, on the other hand, she could flourish and, maybe, dare I say, enjoy herself a bit more...

I'd also imagine that Biannca has the hump with Winston a tad, too, after he revealed (and she overheard) that she wasn't his type. It was funny to see her look so disgruntled! But I don't think she's that upset to want to evict him over it!

Hopefully they won't make a bad decision, and I'd like to see them get rid of someone we won't really miss too much.

Will Steven be evicted by Zoe, Pav and Biannca - and become an
Armageddon Week victim?

As for the newbie who I'd like to see leave, I really don't know.

Zoe has settled well and seems like a nice girl, who would continue to gel with most of the housemates.

My gut says Biannca, just because she makes me cringe when watching her... but part of me wants her to stay, especially as she speaks before thinking and makes Danielle wince each time she does so!

Pav also seems like a character who would gel well with most housemates, but unlike Zoe, I can't see him causing any kind of strife or even sticking up for himself much. We already have a nice, quiet type of guy in the shape of little Chris, so do we really need another?

In that case, I think maybe Pav should be the one I want to see leave.

I'm also wondering if the Power will return to the house tonight, in the old-fashioned way of 'one power housemate'?

I hope so, and I think it'll be quite interesting to see Danielle with that power. Now, I'm not her biggest fan, but I think she's greatly entertaining with her Diary Room chats, she's so paranoid when the house finds out something new about her (hence going on and on and on about the Webcam Girls programme!) and I also don't think she can make a decision on her own very well at all. I could imagine her trying to come down on the house like a ton of bricks - but then it backfiring and leaving her sinking in the swimming pool. Again!

I'm looking forward to tonight's show... It'll hopefully be more entertaining than poor Marlon's damp squib of an eviction!

EASTENDERS - Who's the mystery dumper?

Last night's EastEnders threw me right at the end.

We have seen Billy Mitchell come into the fray, after it was revealed that he argued with Lucy on the night of her murder. Now, I don't believe for one moment Billy's the murderer. For one, it's too early to reveal possible candidates and secondly - it's Billy. As said in the episode - he's done some bad things, he's a bit of a plonker, but he's no murderer.

One interesting thing is the photo's which Billy threw away after Pam Coker found them under his fridge. Billy said that they belonged to Peter - I think this is a lie - so are they Billy's and why did he have them?

The biggest thing, mind you, to come out of last night's show was what I believe to be Lucy's phone and purse... dumped in a hole and covered in soil. Who did that?

More twists in the case of Lucy's murder!

It couldn't have been Billy, surely, as he was with Lola, having just been unofficially forgiven by Ian for lying to the police about arguing with Lucy on the night she was killed.

Was there a reflection in the phone as the camera filmed - if there was - my eagle eyes saw someone with shoulder length hair... Abi Branning?

I keep saying it's too early to make a guess...  But who can help themselves?

The new, vicious police detective has said that the killer should be feeling scared and the nets closing in, so it must be someone who knows that Jake is to be released, and that the police focus is shifting elsewhere... Someone in the Beale clan, maybe? Someone close to the Beale's? Or someone who has overheard a whisper and panicked?

With Ben Mitchell soon to make a return, maybe the forum fans are right and it's him?

What do you all think?

HOLLYOAKS - Fraser's killer revealed today!

Today is the day Hollyoaksers!

The day we find out who killed Fraser Black...

Who killed Fraser, do you think?

At 4pm, Hollyoaks' Snapchat will reveal a picture of the killer - but if you want to wait, you can see for yourself on E4 at 7pm on tonight's first look - or Monday at 6.30pm on Channel 4 - but no one's gong to do that, right?

The Hollyoaks team have kindly asked that anyone who DOES check Snapchat out, DOES NOT reveal the identity of the killer on social media, so as to not spoil the reveal for anyone who wants to watch it on air.

Will you be downloading Snapchat, just for the reveal?

We have been told (by Holier Than Thou cop Sonny Valentine) that either Sandy, Joe or Freddie Roscoe is the culprit. But are they really, or is it a red herring?

Who do you guys think it is, and will you be Snapchatting at 4pm to find out?

EASTENDERS - Meet the new Mitchell

Since finding out that Ben Mitchell has been released from prison for killing our Hev, it's begged the question as to just when he'll be returning to EastEnders.

That question seems to be very soon, as this new picture shows the new face of Phil Mitchell's wayward son.

Harry Reid with Steve McFadden, as Ben and Phil Mitchell

Ben is to be played by Harry Reid, and it's expected that he will bring with him more than enough drama - especially for Lola Pearce, who is mum to Ben's daughter Lexi, and Phil's ex, Shirley Carter, who was Hev's best friend. We already know that Jay Brown has been in contact with Ben since his release, but no one else on the Square knows of his whereabouts. 

Digital Spy have reported Harry Reid as saying:

"I'm very excited to be joining EastEnders - not only because it's a great show but also to be playing Ben, a character that is so renowned and from such an iconic family. I'm looking forward to getting started and working closely with the legendary Steve McFadden. I can't wait to become a fully-fledged Mitchell."

EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins has also spoken of his excitement at Ben's reappearance:

"Ben's half-Beale and half-Mitchell, and Harry perfectly encapsulates both the Mitchell danger and Beale heart that make Ben such a complex character. Ben's return to the Square is going to have big repercussions for his family, his friends - and his enemies. Plus a few residents he hasn't even met yet..."

There have also been whispers among forum fans that Ben could be Lucy Beale's murderer... 

Whatever happens, I'm sure it'll bring plenty of Mitchell mayhem!
