Mae Whitman? Her? I will always love Ann Veal, but I'm not sure I can follow her to The Bionic Woman.

And Camille is trying her hand at another show. I so hope she'll still do PB. Both shows will be on Fox so mabye.
Also, I hate to nitpick, but Camille's last name is spelled Guaty.

Am I just completely loopy today, or do you mean they're remaking The Bionic Woman? Furilla?

Yes, The Bionic Woman is being remade. Some English chick got the lead.

Ugh, I hope it's not Eastenders. Talk about a show that fell off.
I will follow Mae Whitman anywhere, even this show. It's a shame all the major networks have ignored my spec script for "Return to a State of Grace" with Mae and Alia Shawkat. Their loss...

Eastenders? - toomuchTV
I was wondering the same thing. I know FOX was developing an American version a few years ago, but I figured it never went anywhere.
Coincidentally, the star of the new Bionic Woman is Michelle Ryan, who played Zoe Slater on EastEnders from 2000-05.

How does Simon Fuller have time to do all this? He's got this new show, plus Victoria's reality show on NBC, plus he manages people. He probably doesn't do anything on Idol, but he's everywhere!

You know how they have the Annual Golden Razzie Awards for film? They need an equivalent for TV - they could call it the Eastenders Award.

nolan, nolan, nolan.
EastEnders may not be your cup of tea -- I suspect you're more of a Crossroads man -- but any objective evaluation would have to declare the show a monstrous success.
Look, EastEnders has had its ups and downs, as would any show that runs 22 years, but overall it has been an excellent show with some powerful acting and storylines.
It has won dozens of awards in England over the years, including the 2006 BAFTA Award for Best Continuing Drama, and, for most of its run, has been a huge ratings success.
I know what your goal here was. You saw that there were some EastEnders fans posting here and, because you like to stir up a hornet's nest wherever you can, you posted a grade-school level insult (I'm sorry, nolan, it wasn't one of your better efforts).
I'm starting to figure out how you operate, nolan!
However, surely you can come up with a more appropriate show to name your imaginary award after.
