@OlifanofmrTennant:Thanks so so much for taking on this review FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Seems a bit too long
- Done Managed to get it below 400 words. FishLoveHam (talk) 21:30, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LEADCITE violations
- Done I was told somewhere that it's handy to have citations in the lead to support quotes, but I've removed them as you've asked. FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Walters makes five additional appearances as Keanu from episodes 6837 to 6860" wording implies that each of the episodes contained one of the five appearances.
- Done Changed "from" to "between". FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Storylines

Haven't seen the show in a while but it seems accurate from my general recollection, no errors spotted prose wise

Development

Italize "Digital Spy"
- Done FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Executive producer Sean O'Connor" -> "Then executive producer Sean O'Connor" as O'Conner has since left
- Done Would "Former exec..." be ok? I just think it's a bit more clear. FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could be interpreted that he has alread left at that point. What needs to be clarified is that he was EP at the time and has since left Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:25, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay Done FishLoveHam (talk) 21:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could the size of the age gap be clarified?
- I couldn't find any reliable sources that explicitly state the age gap, but I have two possible solutions; I could combine these two sources, but it might be WP:OR because you have to do a little maths. I could also maybe mention the age gap in the storylines section. FishLoveHam (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’ll allow it as the first source mentions there is an age gap. Just get them added and I’ll pass it Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Done FishLoveHam (talk) 22:00, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Under "Louise Mitchell" Peggy links to the actress Peggy Taylor and not the character
- Done
I don't think that "character (actor)" needs to be listed every time as it creates a bit of a dupelink problem
- I'm not a huge fan of it either, but WP:SOAPS uses it to make the articles less in-universe and clearer for navigation.

Reception

Sources should be linked on first mention for consistency
- I'm a bit confused, isn't that the way it is? Digital Spy is already linked in the article, I have linked Radio Times now, BBC News and What's on TV were both linked already. FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is linked on the first mention except in reception Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 14:24, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done FishLoveHam (talk) 17:14, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Remove the I Talk Telly mentions as it appears to be a blog
- Done FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll address the rest later, since it requires new information/complete rewrites. FishLoveHam (talk) 06:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by FishLoveHam (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

FishLoveHam (talk) 06:59, 12 March 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Article is long enough and was promoted to GA status a few days ago and thus is eligible. QPQ is not required. I checked earwig and cannot see any copyright violations or any other issues in the article. I am a fan of both hooks, though I am wondering if the second hook may be best as it is more concise, though maybe the first one is more interesting. Overall this is good to go. Well done on an impressive article! :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 06:42, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
