JOE McFADDEN, GLENDARROCH TO AIDENSFIELD & BEYOND

It's been ages since I posted an entry here !

I must begin by agreeing with my fellow bloggers about the way ITV have treat their employees and the viewing public.  The demise of Heartbeat is very sad but not unexpected because of the appalling scheduling (one wonders at the motives of ITV).  The expression "they couldn't run a bath" springs to mind, as do other expressions involving breweries !

Anyway, as the nights grow darker our thoughts can turn to the autumn TV schedules..... no, not ITV's bludgeoning well loved programmes, botching up our soaps and serials and ruining our Friday's with hours of unimportant football (I refer to 28th August Barcelona and who???) ... but on the good news front the return of Casualty, series 24, looking all the better for the addition of Joe as new character Alistair !  I must say I am looking forward so much to this new character !  let's face it Joe Mason came in like a lion and went out like a meek little lamb ! Maybe Casualty's writers will allow the character to retain his personality !?

After watching, and indeed, studying all of Joe's characters with my usual vigour, I can't wait for this !

Good luck to Joe.  As sad as it may be  to end an albeit successful stint in Heartbeat, I feel that this role in Casualty will really be an asset to his career.
