Revelatory

Wow! Episode 201 is a thoroughly revelatory one in which everything becomes clear after too long a time. Finally Roger confesses to the crime that saw Burke jailed - a storyline that's been running for nigh-on 200 episodes - while Jason reveals the reason for his old over Elizabeth. It's pacy, angsty stuff, and powerful with it.

No I didn't! Yes you did. Someone say something else or I'm going to have to fast forward.

10 minutes of Roger Collins being badgered of whether or not he was driving that car the night that a man was killed and Burke was framed becomes very frustrating. It's the same thing over and over again. "Confess", Burke demands. Roger refuses like a petulant child, as if David had taken over his personality. Then all of a sudden he breaks down and confesses, but there's nothing really as far as guilt or motivation. It's as if they're simply reading the script and don't believe a word of it, and it takes 2001 episodes from where the show started to get to this emotional let down.

Then we have David finding Jason trying to get into the cellar, and eventually running into Elizabeth. Victoria and Carolyn are also in this episode and we just have a bunch of ridiculous dialogue covering everything we've just seen this episode could have really been so much better as Roger breaks down, tells everything as it happens as he remembers and atone. it's unfortunate that it's good actors that I like from other soaps and movies being forced to raise the emotional flag and lower it without impact. Calling Barnabas. Please rise from your grave as soon as possible!
