Okay, some random notes I made while you were reading your extensive notes, Shannon! Was that the creepiest rando ever harassing Roy? Scary and agree - why didn't they rush him back into the cafe? So, who is Tyrone's father - what did Cassie tell him? That must have been brought up in the past but I can't recall... I do remember Fred and Vera - miss them a lot. Adam's hair is still crazy - is it real, do you suppose? Sarah is hopeless - gives Damon heck for planning to take part in a crime then says, okay, BUT IT'S THE LAST TIME! You are so observant, Brittlestar! I would never notice the painted window but I'm going to pay more attention. Deedee and Damon? I hope not. Is it time for Ken to have the spotlight for a while - love interest? He's an inspiration....

Jack and Vera were Tyrone's true parents! (Miss Jack and his pigeons a ton.) Cassie and her boyfriend are nothing to me. But it will certainly give the writers an avenue to explore in the future.

No wonder Sarah doesn't want Adam back... GET A HAIR CUT!

I agree with Stuart, Deedee has been looking great with the new hairstyle. And no way do I want her to have anything to do with Damon!

Oh yes, Jack, not Fred! Mixed those old guys up - I need a reference manual sometimes.

My favourite moment was cocktail night when Ken pulled, but Steve didn't. Classic. Sarah Louise seems to have her mother's talent for pulling bad boys. Remember Richard and Joe? Even Nick's dad Brian was no choir boy.

Ken's a handsome fella, that's for sure. Sarah is hopeless but I don't remember Richard and Joe even though I have been watching forever, it seems...

Richard Hillman was a conman Gail was involved with. He murdered several people, including Maxine Peacock. There is a memorial bench for her on the street. Richard tried to kill Gail, David and Sarah by driving them into the canal. Joe McIntyre was Gail's husband who ran into big dent. He tried to fake his own death so Gail could get the insurance money

It went wrong--he actually died in the attempt. Gail had no idea what he was doing.

I really need to take better notes during the week!

- Crazy Uncle David in the VR headset had us howling at the TV.

- Max's girlfriend knows something! She was acting way to SUS (as the kids say) when she dumped Max.

- The girls standing on the street eyeing up the N&R delivery guy was also great. Glenda saying she would take Ryan off Daisy! LOL.

Congratulations on top 30 😁😁. I love your dedication, it was funny seeing people wandering about behind you not realizing the brilliance going on right under their noses.

It sounds like Evelyn was as oblivious to what was happening to Cassie when she was a teen as Sean was with Dylan. Most parents seem oblivious on the Street! lol Remember Sally & Kevin with Rosie?

I also thought the same thing as Brittlestar about Daisy and explaining about where they got the loan. I guess I have a mind for deception. ;)

Random factoid. Ex-Tommy (current Brackenridge on Murdoch Mysteries) is Adam’s uncle.

Best theme ever - have I mentioned that? I made lots of notes listening today but mostly I want to know - are you going to visit the set now that you're both there?? I hope so!

I did it last October and it was fantastic. It was on my bucket list for years.

Darn! I doubt I'll ever get there so I'll wait for you two (seems way more likely).
