Janine Butcher

Janine Carter (also Butcher, Evans and Malloy) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, introduced in 1989. The character was played by Rebecca Michael from 1989 to 1993, Alexia Demetriou from 1993 to 1996, and Charlie Brooks from 1999 to 2022. Brooks initially departed on 7 May 2004. She returned for a three episode guest stint in April 2008 before returning permanently on 18 December of that year. Brooks later took a break from September 2012 until April 2013, then departed again on 20 March 2014. In April 2021, it was announced that Brooks would reprise the role once again and return later in the year. She returned on 6 September 2021. It was announced on 24 September 2022 that Brooks had only agreed to reprise the role for 12 months and would depart again at the conclusion of her storyline, with her final scenes airing on 26 December 2022.

The character has been described as a "super-bitch" and a "classic villainess". She has proven popular with critics and fans of the show. Her storylines typically involve her in an antagonistic role. She has been married five times: to Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson) whom she killed on New Year's Day 2004, David (Harry Towb), Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott), Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer). Her feuds include a long-standing conflict with former stepmothers Pat Butcher (Pam St Clement) and Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor), Sonia Jackson (Natalie Cassidy), Lynne Slater (Elaine Lordan), Laura Beale (Hannah Waterman), Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Jean Slater (Gillian Wright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Her initial departure saw Janine being wrongfully charged for the death of Laura Beale. Upon her return, Janine is caught forging a wedding to a wealthy, old-age pensioner, that ends with her new husband abruptly dying of a fatal heart attack upon discovering her false identity. She later accidentally kills local resident Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace) by running her down in her car; conspires with Peggy's husband Archie (Larry Lamb) to defraud the Mitchell family from their ownership of The Queen Victoria public house; and becomes a prime suspect in Archie's murder investigation (see Who Killed Archie?). Janine later becomes involved in a love triangle with her third husband Ryan and his baby's mother, Stacey. All of this results in Janine framing Stacey for her attempted murder and also attempting to kill Ryan by poisoning him. Janine later gives birth to a daughter, Scarlett, with her fourth husband Michael, and they become embroiled in a custody battle over Scarlett, which leads to Janine murdering Michael, leading to her third departure from the show.

In Brooks' third stint as Janine, her storylines included being in a custody battle for Scarlett with Kat, accidentally starting a fire which almost kills Scarlett and Kat's son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall), reigniting her feuds with both Kat and Stacey, framing Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) for car theft, manipulating a separation between Mick and Linda Carter in order to have him to herself, regaining custody of Scarlett, a feud with Linda in which she frames her for a car accident, blackmailing Jada Lennox (Kelsey Calladine-Smith) into helping her bring Linda down, discovering she is pregnant with Mick's child and later marrying him, before being widowed the following day after another car accident with Linda that she indirectly caused, leading to her arrest and fourth departure from the show.

1989–1996
A troublesome child, Janine throws tantrums, runs away, is a bed-wetter, a sleep-walker, a thief, a compulsive liar and a self-harmer, and hates Pat. Unable to discipline her, Pat forces Frank to take Janine to family therapy, which somehow helps. Janine refuses to go to school and Ricky finds out she is being bullied. When Frank has a breakdown and disappears in 1994, Janine stays with Pat but finds Frank's absence upsetting.

Janine makes friends with Clare Bates (Gemma Bissix) and Sonia Jackson (Natalie Cassidy) and they cause trouble for Felix Kawalski (Harry Landis), when they spread rumours that he is a pervert who murdered his wife, and keeps her body in his cellar. She is overjoyed when Frank returns, and they move to Manchester in 1996. However, Frank returns to Walford in 1998, leaving Janine with Clare.

1999–2004
In June 1999, Janine returns to live with Frank and his new wife, Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor). She sets about coming between them, constantly trying to antagonise Frank with rebellious behaviour. In December 1999, she sleeps with Jamie Mitchell (Jack Ryder) and humiliates him by spreading rumours about his inadequate prowess. In November 2000, Frank abandons Janine after the breakdown of his marriage to Peggy. Homeless, Janine is taken in by Terry Raymond (Gavin Richards); they start a business together as estate agents. Terry sees Janine as a surrogate daughter, but Janine's constant manipulation tests his patience. Janine uses him for money, deliberately dresses like his late daughter Tiffany Mitchell (Martine McCutcheon), ruins his relationships with women and tries to seduce him. In 2001, Janine also has a relationship with Jamie's uncle Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) until he runs out of money. This behaviour infuriates Terry but Janine starts using cocaine and pesters Terry for money to feed her habit. When he refuses, in 2002, she resorts to sex with her drug dealer, Lee Vickers (Dermot Keaney), in exchange for cocaine; Vickers beats Terry up when he tries to warn him off. When he sees Janine's lack of remorse, Terry throws her out and leaves Walford, ignoring her pleas for him to stay.

Owing Vickers money for drugs, Janine turns to prostitution under the alias "Blonde Bombshell". One of her clients, Matt Lindsay (Matthew Steer), falls in love with her and proposes marriage, but attempts suicide when he learns she is still a prostitute. In May 2002, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) begins using her services but she blackmails him, threatening to tell his wife Laura Beale (Hannah Waterman) unless he pays her. Depressed, in August 2002, Janine begins drinking heavily and nearly dies of alcohol poisoning. She gives up prostitution, but when Laura discovers that she has been having sex with Ian, she throws a pan of boiling milk in Janine's face. As a result, Janine becomes agoraphobic and eats dog food because she is too afraid to go outside to buy food. She eventually gets over this with Billy's help. Janine hopes to rekindle their relationship but is devastated when she learns that he is in love with Little Mo Morgan (Kacey Ainsworth).

In 2003, Janine gets a job working at Barry Evans' (Shaun Williamson) car lot after becoming friendly with Barry, following the death of his father and Pat's husband Roy Evans (Tony Caunter). She and her friend, Paul Trueman (Gary Beadle) plan to fleece Barry out of his money. She seduces Barry and moves in with him, but also sleeps with Paul. Eventually, Barry proposes to Janine, and she accepts, thinking that Barry has a life-threatening heart murmur. They marry on New Year's Eve 2003 in Scotland, but Janine is furious when Barry's illness turns out to be a false alarm. They take a stroll around the hills and cliffs on New Year's Day 2004, but Janine cracks and admits everything. Barry refuses to believe that she does not love him and tries to embrace her. Repulsed, Janine pushes him away and he falls down a cliff, fatally hitting his head on a rock; Janine then watches him die. As his widow, Janine inherits Barry's estate and has him cremated in Scotland, denying his friends and family a chance to pay their respects. This makes Barry's ex-wife Natalie Evans (Lucy Speed) suspicious, and she becomes close to Paul, who feels guilty about his role in Barry's death. Spurred on by Natalie, Paul gives a statement to the police, implicating Janine in Barry's death.

Janine is arrested, but released without charge, due to lack of evidence, and spitefully tells Natalie that she has managed to get away with murder; however, telling Pat proves to be her downfall. Pat is also friends with Laura, who has a feud with Janine, who in turn angers the locals by reporting Laura for benefit fraud and announces it in The Queen Victoria public house. In April 2004, Janine and Laura are seen fighting just before Laura dies after falling down the stairs. It is noted in the post mortem that Laura had recently been in a fight due to bruising, and Janine's skin is found under her nails. Although Janine was with Pat when Laura died, Pat refuses to give Janine an alibi, and brands her "pure evil". In desperation, Janine goes to Paul and offers to sleep with him in return for an alibi, but Paul refuses. She is arrested by the police, charged with Laura's murder, and remanded in custody in May 2004.

Janine stands trial off-screen in December 2005, and Frank tries to persuade Pat to tell the truth in court, giving Janine an alibi. Pat refuses, but a conversation with Laura's mother Edwina Dunn (Gay Hamilton) forces Pat to tell the court what really happened. Janine is released, but leaves Frank outside the courtroom.

2008–2014
In April 2008, Janine returns for Frank's funeral and is angry that he has not left any money for her in his will; she scatters his ashes before departing. In December 2008, Pat and Ricky later discover that Janine is masquerading as a Jewish orphan named Judith Bernstein so that she can marry an elderly Jewish man named David (Harry Towb) for his money. They trace Janine to a synagogue, where, just after Janine and David are married, Pat exposes Janine. David has a heart attack and dies, and a now homeless Janine has no choice but to return to Walford. In 2009, she makes various enemies, among them Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), whom Janine drugs and then restrains so she can gain a taped confession of his past misdemeanours, which she uses as blackmail to gain control of Walford's car lot. Pat and Jack usurp her, reclaiming the business. In April 2009, whilst driving around the square, Janine accidentally knocks down Danielle Jones (Lauren Crace); moments later, Danielle dies, and Janine is left guilt-ridden. Though Janine is cleared of any blame, it causes a rift between her and the Mitchells.

In July 2009, in need of money, Janine teams up with Danielle's grandfather Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb); they make plans to ruin the Mitchell family by taking The Queen Vic from them. When they manipulate Archie's niece and Ricky's ex-wife Sam Mitchell (Danniella Westbrook) into breaking her bail terms, the Mitchells lose bail surety and face financial ruin. Ian provides the Mitchells with a loan, on condition they use their pub as collateral. Janine has sex with Ian, recording the tryst, then blackmails him, threatening to show his wife Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) unless he sells the Mitchell loan to Archie. Archie subsequently takes control of The Queen Vic when he refuses to allow the Mitchells to meet the terms of the loan. Meanwhile, Janine and her flatmate Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott), with whom Janine is having sex, plan to fleece Archie. He and Janine announce their engagement, but on Christmas Day 2009, Archie – who has realised Janine is intending to con him – throws her onto the street, leaving her distraught. That same day, Archie is murdered by an unknown assailant (see Who Killed Archie?). Janine becomes a suspect for his murder, though she denies it. While she attempts to frame Ian and the Mitchells for the murder, Peggy attempts to frame her, planting evidence in her flat, which leads to an arrest but no charge. In the end, Janine is cleared and Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) is held falsely responsible for the murder - although, unknown to everyone, Archie's killer was in fact Bradley's wife Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner) - whom he had previously raped amid his conspiracy with Janine.

In 2010, when Ryan confesses his love for Janine, she recoils, but when he attempts to leave Walford, she admits she loves him too. In September 2010, despite Janine nearly straying on her hen night, she and Ryan marry, but marital happiness is short-lived when Ryan discovers he is the father of Stacey's daughter Lily. In October 2010, a feud erupts between Janine and Stacey when Janine reports her to social services for neglecting Lily. Later, Janine kidnaps Lily, suggesting to Ryan they leave Walford with Lily to separate Ryan from Stacey. Her games push Ryan and Stacey closer together and they begin an affair. Janine later finds out about Stacey's affair with Ryan and she vows to kill them both. She buys sedatives and poisons Ryan. He is left bedridden but manages to escape, and ends their marriage publicly after being released from hospital. In December 2010, hurt and angry, Janine discovers Stacey is Archie's murderer and goes public with this, but is largely ignored with no concrete evidence. Desperate, on Christmas Day 2010, Janine visits Stacey; she stabs herself to try to frame Stacey for her own attempted murder, but Stacey escapes the country before her arrest. Blaming Janine for Stacey's departure, Ryan refuses to reunite with Janine, and attempts to kill her by removing her oxygen tubing when she is hospitalised. She is saved by Ricky's chance arrival, but both Pat and Ricky denounce Janine's actions when she admits her injuries are self-inflicted.

In April 2011, Ricky and Janine receive news that their grandmother Lydia Simmonds (Margaret Tyzack/Heather Chasen) is ill and in need of care. Janine takes Lydia in, with the ulterior motive of inheriting her fortune. Janine learns that Lydia is very similar to herself, and eventually admits she loves Lydia, but Lydia's health quickly deteriorates. Janine discovers Lydia has left all her money to charity, but admits to Lydia that she no longer cares, during a heartfelt conversation. In June 2011, before she dies, Lydia explains that she wanted to look after Janine after her mother died, but Pat and Frank would not allow it. Janine is devastated by Lydia's death, but her family, including Pat, accuse her of killing her. At Ryan's behest, Janine is questioned by police, but released without charge, and in July 2011, Janine is stunned when she inherits Lydia's estate, making her a millionaire. Janine later happily achieves full closure from Ryan after learning that he has fled Walford.

Janine buys various properties and businesses; she starts a property management company and a women's fitness centre with her boyfriend Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd). She also buys a share in the nightclub R&R, making Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) her reluctant partner; both clash over the running of the club. In December 2011, when Pat needs money to pay debts, Janine gives her a loan, insisting Pat use her house as collateral. She later brings the loan payment deadline forward, refusing to believe Pat is dying. On New Year's Day 2012, Janine makes peace with Pat before her death, with Pat convincing a pregnant Janine to keep Michael's child. Janine accepts Michael's marriage proposal after he reluctantly agrees to sign a prenuptial agreement.

When Stacey's mother Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) tells everyone, including Janine, that Michael stole her money and lied to her, Janine refuses to believe Jean's claims and dismisses them because Jean has bipolar disorder. However, in June 2012, Stacey's cousin Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) returns and demands Janine repay the funds, or she will go to the police. Michael eventually confesses the truth to Janine on her wedding day and offers her an ultimatum: that she rip up the prenuptial agreement or the wedding is off. Janine is torn between the two but eventually agrees to cancel the pre-nup; Janine and Michael marry but she goes into labour 11 weeks early at the wedding reception. At the hospital, Janine undergoes a cesarean and her daughter is put into an incubator, which distresses Janine. The baby is named Scarlett. Janine begins to doubt Michael's intent when he asks to be a signatory on the business accounts and buys a sports car, so orders Billy to change the combination on the office safe. In August 2012, Michael's strange behaviour continues, leaving Janine convinced he is having an affair. She confronts him, offering him a suitcase of money and saying that if he really loves her, he will refuse to take it. Michael is furious and tells Janine that she cannot hope to be a good mother to Scarlett. In September 2012, believing him to be right, Janine packs her bags and hands Scarlett to Michael, taking the money and leaving. Michael is informed that Janine has transferred all the money from her bank accounts and has ordered that her business Butcher's Joints be closed down, transferring all her properties over to another estate agent, leaving Michael with nothing.

Several months later, in April 2013, Janine returns to Walford and visits Michael. Janine tells Michael that she is back for Scarlett, and manipulates Michael into giving her custody of Scarlett, denying him parental access. She then hires Michael's former nanny Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) to look after Scarlett; however, Alice is Michael's secret ally. When Janine catches Alice stealing jewellery from her house, Alice explains she is stressed because Michael is putting demands on her to see Scarlett, and she has been letting him do so. Janine agrees that it is better for Scarlett, in the long-run, to have a relationship with both her parents. In June 2013, at Ian's restaurant opening, Janine, as an investor, has the sign and name of the restaurant changed from "Ian Beale @ Le Square" to "Scarlett's". They apparently call a truce, but Janine then leaves in a car with Scarlett, telling Michael that she may never return.

Michael eventually tracks Janine down and she returns to Walford. She employs Danny Pennant (Gary Lucy), who buys a share in Michael's boxing club. Janine has sex with Danny but tells him that it is a one off. She rehires Alice as her nanny, unaware that she is still being manipulated by Michael, but fires her again when she tells Janine that she had sex with Michael. In October 2013, the increasing animosity between Janine and Michael leads to her taking out an injunction against him. Michael then begins a plot to kill Janine, and involves Alice in his plans. Alice has second thoughts and tells Janine of Michael's plans. When Janine confronts Michael, he tries to strangle her, leading to Alice stabbing Michael in the back to stop him. Alice then leaves to answer the door, but realising Michael is still alive, Janine stabs him again in the stomach, killing him. Alice believes she killed him, and Janine tells the police that Alice stabbed Michael twice and also attacked her. In November 2013, Alice's brother, Joey Branning (David Witts), seduces Janine in a bid to extract the truth from her, but fails.

In December 2013, Pat's son David Wicks (Michael French) suspects that Janine is guilty of the murder, so he manipulates her into allowing him to stay at her house, and then into admitting that she killed Michael. David promises to keep her secret, but has secretly recorded the confession on his phone. Meanwhile, Janine is planning to buy The Queen Vic, and sells her share of R&R and her car to do so. On Christmas Day 2013, David then reveals the recording to Janine and blackmails her into giving him the £250,000 she has raised. Janine panics, and tries to kill David by hitting him with a car. However, he suffers only minor injuries. After she hands over the cash, he threatens to call the police anyway. She convinces him to give her a day to get away, but David's girlfriend Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) finds David's phone and plays the confession. She gives the phone to Joey, who calls the police and Janine is arrested for Michael's murder, and is taken away by the police.

In February 2014, Kat and Stacey visit Janine in prison and try to convince her to drop the false statement she made against Stacey four years ago. Janine agrees on the condition that Kat provides her with a false witness testimony to Michael's murder, backing up Janine's story that Alice killed him. In March 2014, at the trial, Kat agrees and does as she is told. However, halfway through the trial, Alice tries to kill herself in her cell and is immediately rushed to hospital. Because of this, Janine admits the truth. The jury later returns with a not guilty verdict for both Alice and Janine. After the trial, Janine returns to Walford one last time and tries to make amends with the locals in The Queen Vic, but everyone, including Carol, is completely hostile towards her, and she is forced to leave the pub. Janine then leaves Walford for Paris to join Diane and Scarlett, and it is hinted that she plans to con a couple who have just won the lottery. Janine's final appearance was on 20 March 2014.

Off-screen in December 2019, Janine sells the house that the Slaters are living in to Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol), which leaves them homeless for Christmas.

2021–2022
In August 2021, Scarlett (now Tabitha Byron) contacts Kat's son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) online, under the presumption that he is her cousin. She reveals that she has been in foster care due to Janine's neglect, and is about to be taken into care. She asks Tommy if she can live with him and Kat. In September 2021, Janine is seen impersonating as a doctor, under her former pseudonym "Judith Bernstein", and seduces Zack Hudson (James Farrar). It is hinted that Janine has been impersonating a doctor to persuade social services that she is good enough to look after Scarlett. Janine later returns to Albert Square and confronts Kat, warning her about the lengths she will go to get Scarlett back. Janine attempts to reason with Kat, and reveals that she lost her fortune at some point after her departure from Walford, but this fails when Zack reveals Janine's pseudonym, and her scam as a doctor is uncovered. Kat reveals the truth to social services, and soon Scarlett goes missing. Janine is accused of abducting Scarlett; however, she finds her hiding at the Mitchells' house with Tommy. Janine tries to get Scarlett to return with her, but a scuffle unfolds with Tommy. Whilst trying to retrieve Scarlett, she pulls her cardigan and accidentally throws it onto the open flame of the stove, starting a fire. Tommy locks himself, Scarlett and Janine in his bedroom in an attempt to keep Janine from taking Scarlett. Once they realise the house is on fire, Janine takes control of the situation, and manages to get Scarlett to safety out of the front door of the house, but has to go back for Tommy, who ran into one of the bedrooms in a panic. She lifts Tommy out of a window, but lets go when an explosion caused by the fire knocks her back. Tommy survives and is taken to hospital, and Janine manages to escape when the firefighters arrive. Despite saving Tommy, Kat still goes against Janine in court to get custody of Scarlett and succeeds in doing so. This leads to Janine deciding to remain in Walford to fight for Scarlett. Despite struggling to get a job, she is employed by Frankie Lewis (Rose Ayling-Ellis) at The Queen Vic. However, her former business partner returns, and offers Janine money to continue to impersonate her as a doctor, but Janine turns it down, wanting to prove to Kat and Scarlett that she has changed. Her fling with Zack continues, and they sleep together.

Kat discovers that Janine has told Tommy about Michael, who is also his biological father, and kicks her out. Scarlett then finds out Tommy is actually her older half-brother, and not her cousin. Janine is forced to lodge with Billy, his surrogate son Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) and ex-wife and Jay's girlfriend Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton). Janine forces Jay to give her a job at the car lot so that she, Billy and her nephew Liam Butcher (Alfie Deegan) can sell stolen cars to customers and incriminate Jay for car theft. They successfully manage to steal cars and Janine forges Jay's signature on the documents. Jay confronts Janine about the stolen cars and she reveals the truth. Jay decides to join in on the scam, but Janine plants a stolen necklace from one of the stolen cars with Jay's belongings, and calls the police, leading to Jay's arrest. When it is revealed that Janine had orchestrated the scam, she is evicted by Honey. Janine later gets promoted as bar manager at The Queen Vic and becomes close with landlord and Frankie's father Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), much to the annoyance of Mick's mother Shirley Carter (Linda Henry). His other daughter Nancy (Maddy Hill) becomes suspicious of Janine when she moves into The Queen Vic after Honey evicts her. She later plans to seduce Mick, but he rebuffs her advances and orders her to leave, as he plans to rekindle his relationship with his wife Linda (Kellie Bright), who is a recovering alcoholic. Janine interrupts Mick's plans by visiting Linda in her mother Elaine Peacock's (Maria Friedman) pub, pretending her name is Judith Bernstein, and manipulating Linda into drinking again, upsetting Mick.

Janine decides to leave after a dispute with Nancy and moves in with Sonia in an attempt to gain Mick's attention. When social services decide to investigate Janine, she asks Mick to pretend to be her boyfriend for her meeting with the social worker, in order to convince them that Scarlett will have a stable home. Mick agrees but is adamant that it is kept hidden from residents. Jay uncovers their plan, and also gives Janine a bad character reference, forcing her to admit that she had lied, ruining her chances of regaining custody of Scarlett. In March 2022, Janine supports Mick when it is revealed that his aunt Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) was murdered by Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith) and buried under the floorboards of the abandoned Arjee Bharjee. She uses Mick's grief to her own advantage and tries to help him overcome his bereavement by taking him to a grassland to vent his anger; he then kisses her, but she emotionally blackmails him by rejecting his advances. After this, Janine leaves to stay with Clare. Janine returns to support Mick during Tina's funeral, unaware that Linda is also there, and recognises her. Linda is furious when she sees Janine comforting Mick and reveals that Janine had encouraged her to leave him, however, nobody believes her. Linda is devastated when Mick decides to pursue a relationship with Janine. Janine is worried when Mick will not sleep with her, and when she sees Mick getting close to her adopted step-niece Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), she becomes jealous and warns her off. Mick later reveals to Janine that he is struggling to be intimate with women after he was raped as a child by his former social worker, Katy Lewis (Simone Lahbib).

Janine re-gains custody of Scarlett after Scarlett tells Kat that she wants to live with Janine. Janine later becomes jealous when Mick spends time with Linda, and tries to warn Linda away from Mick by taunting her about her alcoholism, causing Linda to continue drinking. Janine's jealousy intensifies, and she offers Linda money to leave Walford. Linda demands more money, which Janine cannot afford, and she resorts to fleecing Zack and Nancy by luring her old associate Melissa (Katharine Bennett-Fox) into posing as an investor for their business. They believe that they are investing in a restaurant; however, Melissa steals their money and shares it with Janine. Janine gives Linda the money, and she agrees to leave, but eventually decides to stay, when she realises that she cannot leave her family. Linda realises that Janine has stolen Nancy's money, and tries to tell her, but Nancy storms off after an argument. After Linda's car breaks down, Janine offers to drive them back to Walford, but they argue and Janine loses concentration, causing her to crash into a tree. After believing that Linda is dead, Janine frames her for the accident, and runs to Australia with Scarlett, but returns to visit Linda in hospital to keep up her caring pretense. Linda's friend and Zack's half-sister Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) plans to tell Mick about Janine stealing Nancy's money, but Janine turns the tables on Sharon after finding out the stolen money is now in the hands of Sam Mitchell (now played by Kim Medcalf), who has used it to purchase the local nightclub from Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton). Janine taunts Sharon by threatening to report Linda and the Mitchells to the fraud department for money-laundering, if Sharon does not pay her back the stolen £50,000, warning Sharon that Linda's alcoholism and Sharon being Phil's ex-wife would lead to the police believing her over Sharon.

Janine continues feeling threatened by Linda's presence in her and Mick's relationship, and has her baby daughter Annie taken away by social services after blackmailing Jada Lennox (Kelsey Calladine-Smith) into hiding empty wine bottles around the house by threatening to also report her to social services; this backfires when Mick temporarily takes in Annie to look after. Soon after, Janine finds out she is pregnant with Mick's child, and he proposes to her. Janine accepts, although she later falls down the stairs at the tube station. Janine becomes paranoid when she sees Mick with Linda, and suspects that they are having an affair. She lies to Mick, saying their unborn child's life is in danger, but Sonia discovers the truth, and tries to force her to come clean. Janine is furious and lashes out, causing Sonia to call Ricky back to Walford to help her. Janine and Mick marry, despite Shirley's attempts to sabotage the wedding, but Mick begins to have doubts about his feelings for Janine and his love for Linda. On Christmas Day, Jada returns to Walford and tells Sharon that Janine had blackmailed her into calling social services on Linda. They reveal this to Mick and Linda during a Christmas dinner at The Queen Vic, but Janine manages to manipulate Mick and he sends them away. After a heart to heart with Linda, Scarlett exposes Janine for framing Linda for drink driving. Janine fails to convince Mick and Linda that Scarlett is lying, and Mick throws her out, declaring their marriage is over. When he decides to report Janine to the police, she panics and quietly flees the square in a car after abandoning Scarlett. Janine is chased by Mick and Linda on the way to Dover, and after briefly stopping and attacking Mick, both verbally and physically, she tries to escape in the car. Linda manages to get into the passenger seat and attempts to stop Janine by trying to take the wheel. The car is steered off the road onto the cliffside and the car falls off into the sea. Mick dives in and saves Janine and their unborn child, and goes back in to save Linda, not knowing that Linda has already managed to escape; he becomes lost at sea and presumed dead. Upon returning back to the square, Janine blames Linda for the incident and attempts to evict Linda and Shirley from The Queen Vic, causing Shirley to strangle her. Janine then reveals to Sonia, Ricky and Scarlett that Mick is presumed dead, and tries to manipulate Scarlett into retracting her statement about the original car crash (which Janine faked to indicate that Linda had been drink-driving), but Scarlett refuses. Ricky, horrified by Janine's actions, calls the police, and she is arrested for perverting the course of justice.

Off-screen, the following month, Janine agrees for Ricky to have custody of Scarlett, and he takes her to live in Germany with him. In February 2023, she attempts to sell Mick's share of The Queen Vic, causing more distress for Linda in the process. The following month, Linda learns via her solicitor that Janine has pleaded guilty. In May 2023, Linda hears the court has sentenced Janine to five years imprisonment. A month later, Ricky calls The Queen Vic to say that Janine has given birth to Mick's son in prison.

Casting
The character was first mentioned in September 1987, when her father Frank Butcher (Mike Reid) first appeared on-screen. Frank and his children Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) and Diane Butcher (Sophie Lawrence) were introduced as regular characters in 1988. However, Janine did not become a regular character until a year later, in June 1989, her arrival completing the Butcher family.

Janine was initially seen as a 6-year-old, played by Rebecca Michael. In 1993, following a storyline that saw her stepmother Pat Butcher (Pam St Clement) imprisoned for manslaughter, Janine was sent to stay with her off-screen sister Clare Butcher, but she returned later that year, played by 11-year-old Alexia Demetriou, who appeared as Janine from 14 October 1993 until 12 March 1996, when the character was written out again, as Demetriou left to concentrate on her studies. Executive producer Matthew Robinson re-introduced Janine in 1999 as a 16-year-old, played by Charlie Brooks. On her getting the part, Brooks said, "It's funny, but for as long as I can remember I knew I was going to make it, I never worried about my career or money, and when I left college I was headstrong and confident and felt very grown. Then I joined EastEnders and I felt like a lost little girl. I remember the casting director taking me to meet Patsy Palmer on my first day there and, because I'd been watching EastEnders since I was little, I actually felt sick".

Characterisation
Janine's backstory states that she was born just four years before her mother, June, died from cancer, and Janine subsequently went to live with her sister Clare (Lucy Foxell; Caroline O'Neill). Eventually, Janine's father, Frank (Mike Reid), moved to Walford with her older siblings Ricky (Sid Owen) and Diane (Sophie Lawrence), as well as with his beloved wife Pat Wicks (Pam St Clement). Soon afterwards, Clare moved to Manchester in 1989, leaving Janine with Pat and Frank.

Janine is described by the EastEnders website as a "brutal minx whose motto is that money can buy happiness. She will manipulate, marry and murder once she's had a sniff of the Queen's head." It continues: "Janine's a great actress who enjoys seducing people, but the clever diva doesn't always get the end results she desires, which has even led to her imprisonment." Underneath the hard exterior she's really a little girl lost, who wants to love and be loved more than anything - just don't expect her to admit it!"

Drug addiction
In 2002, a storyline saw Janine using drugs and prostituting to fund the habit. She was shown about to snort cocaine in a scene that sparked viewer complaints to the BBC. Brooks has said about Janine's behaviour: "Sleeping with her pusher is very sad and desperate. But she feels she has to do it to get more drugs. Janine has such low self-esteem that she's deliberately reckless. She thinks, 'Why not take drugs if they make me feel good about myself for a while?' I think she knows she's on a slippery slope but she believes she can get out of it like she's always done before."

Departure (2004)
The character was written out of the series in the spring of 2004 when Janine was falsely charged with the murder of Laura Beale (Hannah Waterman) and remanded in custody. Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) refuses to give Janine an alibi due to her awareness that Janine murdered Barry Evans (Shaun Williamson) earlier in the year. According to Williamson, prior to his resignation storyliners planned for Barry to kill Janine.

Brooks rejected an offer to re-appear in late 2005 for the murder trial, although BBC bosses did persuade Mike Reid to make his final appearances as Frank Butcher for scenes involving his former wife Pat during the duration of the trial. Janine was present off-screen for the duration of the trial.

Reintroduction (2008)
Four years after her initial departure, Brooks was asked to reprise the role by executive producer Diederick Santer as part of a storyline that was dubbed "Frank Week". Mike Reid died in July 2007, and due to the popularity of the character he played, Santer decided that Frank would also be killed off in the serial. A funeral was held for the character as a tribute to both the actor and the "iconic" character he played. Brooks was one of several actors brought back to the show especially for the storyline. She was joined by Sophie Lawrence, who played her older sister Diane Butcher, and Sid Owen as her brother Ricky.

Following the conclusion of her three episode guest stint in April 2008, it was announced the following month that Brooks would reprise her role as Janine on a full-time basis. Brooks said she was "thrilled" to be back and admitted her recent appearance gave her "a taste" of being Janine again. Executive producer, Santer, said her recent appearances "reminded us what a fine actress she is, and what an intriguing, watchable and engaging character she plays as Janine". He promised a longer spell on the programme would enable viewers to see "what makes Janine tick" and also find out where she got the "flashy big black car" with which she was seen at the funeral. Janine's return scenes aired in December 2008. In June 2009, she signed a three-year contract.

Relationship with Ryan Malloy
In December 2009, the show's executive producer, Diederick Santer teased about upcoming storylines involving Janine and her flatmate Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott), saying: "There's something really interesting with Ryan and Janine [...]. They're both people who don't know how to love. So will they fall in love? And if they do, can they cope with it? Will they understand the alien feelings coursing through their bodies?" In August 2010, Janine proposes to Ryan. Brooks said that the idea of getting married would be daunting for the character, but added that she believes Janine is genuinely in love with Ryan. She commented: "It's easy to assume that Janine is playing games or using him for sex, but [...] Ryan clearly adores her too, so he may be the man to tame her wild ways." Brooks hinted at possible trouble for the couple if Janine discovers that Ryan fathered a baby with local resident Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), saying "Janine will be absolutely destroyed when she finds out. She wants Ryan all to herself, and the idea of a baby snatching his attention away would be devastating. All she needs is to be loved." McDermott stated that he believed Ryan was the right man for Janine, and that they could be perfect for each other, saying: "Janine's never loved any of the men she's been with before. She has only ever been in it for the money. Ryan understands her and knows why she does the things she does. They both forgive one another's mistakes very easily, and that's why their partnership works."

Lydia Simmonds
In February 2011, Janine's estranged grandmother, Lydia Simmonds, "a lady of class and dignity," was announced. Lydia's backstory states that she loved her daughter June but hated the man she married, Frank, so she grew old alone. Lydia and Janine have been estranged for many years and Janine is shocked to have her grandmother back in her life. Executive Producer Bryan Kirkwood said: "I can't wait to see Janine meet her match."

An EastEnders source revealed that Lydia is more of a schemer than Janine, saying "Janine is going to think there's a potential meal ticket arriving in the form of Lydia. But she's a very complex woman—and Janine won't be able to manipulate her as easily as she'd imagined." EastEnders executive producer stated that Lydia was introduced to help explore Janine's fun side. Kirkwood said to Inside Soap: "After the stories she's had lately, it's time for Janine to have some fun, I think."

Sabbatical and second departure (2014)
In February 2012, Brooks announced that she would take a six-month break from the show later in the year, and departed on 14 September. Brooks returned to filming on 21 February 2013 and returned on screen on 18 April that year. On 28 October 2013, it was announced that Brooks had decided to leave the show for a third time, but to allow for her to return again, the character would not be killed off. Following Janine's arrest on Christmas Day, she returned to screens on 24 February 2014 when Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) visited her in prison, and last appeared on 20 March 2014.

Reintroduction and third departure (2021–2022)
In April 2021, numerous media outlets revealed that Janine would return later in the year, as Brooks had agreed to reprise the role once again for a "huge storyline". The show officially confirmed her return on 14 June. The announcement of Janine’s return was positively received by fans of the show especially on social media. Speaking of her return, executive producer Jon Sen commented that "she comes back as the character that we all know and love her as" and added "we’d be robbing the audience if we didn’t bring her back in all her glory!" Janine returned on-screen on 6 September 2021 after returning to filming two months earlier.

It was announced on 24 September 2022 that Brooks had once again decided to leave the show after more than a year back in the role, with her final scenes airing on 26 December 2022 after Janine was arrested for perverting the course of justice.

In May 2023, Brooks refused to rule out another future return for the character.

Other appearances
In November 2021, Janine appeared in a sketch of Channel 4 show First Dates alongside Coronation Street character Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Emmerdale character Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) in aid of Children in Need. In the sketch, Janine goes on a date with married Steve, who is unaware that he is on a date. Later, it emerges that the real date is actually Eric.

Reception
Janine has been well received by critics, although some of her storylines have come under criticism. She has been described as "the crazy, evil vixen of Albert Square" and journalist Richard Arnold said of the character, "No matter how bad she gets, we welcome her back to Walford with open arms. Because you wouldn't turn your back on her." Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood deemed Janine "the best bitch on TV", while show writer Tony Jordan called her the "devil" and "evil", but added, "She's cheated, she's lied her way through Albert Square and we still kind of like her."

In 2001, it was reported that education experts blamed delinquent young characters in soap operas, like Janine, for increasing disorder and violence in schools. In 2002, scenes involving the character, when Janine prostituted herself to pay for cocaine that she was about to snort were chastised by Tory MP Tim Yeo and Liberal Democrat MP Nick Harvey The BBC defended the storyline, saying, "Although the storyline implied Janine had taken drugs, there were no scenes that actually showed her using them. EastEnders has always tackled difficult issues like drug-taking in a responsible way, mindful of its responsibilities to its younger audience."

In 2020, Sara Wallis and Ian Hyland from The Daily Mirror placed Janine third on their ranked list of the best EastEnders characters of all time.

Awards and nominations
Brooks was awarded Best Bitch at the Inside Soap Awards in 2001. In March 2009, Brooks won the Best Bad Girl award at the 2009 All About Soap Bubble Awards, which are voted for by the public, for her portrayal of Janine, with Brooks saying: "I'm thrilled that viewers think I am so good at being bad!" Brooks also won Villain of the Year at the British Soap Awards in 2004 for her portrayal of the same character, and was nominated in the same category in 2011. Brooks won her third Inside Soap Award for "Best Bitch" in 2009. In February 2011, the love triangle storyline between Janine, Ryan and Stacey was nominated in the Best Love Triangle category at the 2011 All About Soap Bubble Awards. She also won the award for Best Bitch at the 2012 Inside Soap Awards. In Digital Spy's 2012 end of year reader poll, Brooks won Best Female Soap Actor with 23.0% of the vote.

Kaleidoscope (Siouxsie and the Banshees album)

Kaleidoscope is the third studio album by British rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, released on 1 August 1980 by Polydor Records. With the departure of John McKay and Kenny Morris and their replacement by two new musicians, Budgie on drums and John McGeoch on guitars, the band changed their musical direction and offered an album containing a wide variety of colors. "It was almost a different band", said Siouxsie.

Background and music
Following the departure of McKay and Morris, the band regrouped and redirected their sound for their third record. Departing from their previous work, the Banshees incorporated synthesizers and drum machines for the first time. They particularly experimented in electronic music on a couple of tracks: the Electro dance minimalism of "Red Light" and the atmospheric, synth-based piece "Lunar Camel". The album also contained what could be described as a ballad, "Desert Kisses". Kaleidoscope marked the debut of guitarist John McGeoch and new drummer Budgie. Siouxsie Sioux saw it "like a new lease of life". The songs had been demoed at Warner Chappell studios with only a bass and a synthesizer played by Siouxsie and Steven Severin. After the 1979 tour, Siouxsie had been ordered to take one month of rest by doctors; she used this time to learn to play guitar and compose music for the first time.

Release
Kaleidoscope was released on 1 August 1980 by record label Polydor. The album peaked at No. 5 in the UK Albums Chart, the highest position the band has achieved to date. A 180 gram vinyl reissue of the album, remastered from the original ¼” tapes and cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell, was released in December 2018.

Critical reception
Melody Maker ' s Paolo Hewitt gave the album qualified praise, summarising it as "a kaleidoscope of sound and imagery, new forms, and content, flashing before our eyes". Singling out the tracks "Paradise Place" and "Skin", Hewitt called them "classic Banshee pieces. Hypnotic, relentless and incisive". Writing for ZigZag, Kris Needs hailed it as "probably the most varied, diverse and adventurous offering yet to shimmer under the Banshees' banner", praising the band's new musical direction: "If anything, it makes its two predecessors, seem a trifle one-dimensional now. Tracks veer from the lightest electronic backdrop pulse to surging soundwalls as mesmeric and powerful as anything they've done. But the subtlety evident in 'Happy House' and marvellous 'Christine' are the pointers to the main content of 'Kaleidoscope'". Needs noted that Siouxsie's voice "gained new strength and depth, but she's also widened beyond singing and writing to include synth, piano and a spot of guitar".

The band's work on the singles "Happy House" and "Christine" was hailed shortly after their release by peers the Jam; singer-songwriter Paul Weller said that both songs used "some unusual sounds", while drummer Rick Buckler qualified them as "innovative".

In his retrospective review, David Cleary of AllMusic described Kaleidoscope as a "strong record" with "extraordinarily imaginative production values, featuring intricate synthesizer-flecked arrangements; psychedelic touches in "Christine", spaceship synthesizer swoops in "Tenant" and rhythmic camera clicks in "Red Light" all enliven their respective songs". The 2004 edition of The Rolling Stone Album Guide gave a 3 out 5 rating saying that with the change in personnel, Kaleidoscope refined "the Banshees' attack, diversifying the sound without losing its swirling impact". In 2020, Rolling Stone included Kaleidoscope in the top 40 of their "80 Greatest albums of 1980" list, praising McGeoch as "one of the Eighties' unsung guitar masters" and Siouxsie's "vocal charisma".

Legacy
Kaleidoscope influenced several musicians including the Cure frontman Robert Smith, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien of Radiohead, Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, Red Hot Chili Peppers with John Frusciante, Tim Burgess of the Charlatans, Santigold and the Weeknd.

When Robert Smith described the Cure's album The Head on the Door to the press in 1985, he said: "It reminds me of the Kaleidoscope album, the idea of having lots of different sounding things, different colours". During a TV interview to promote The Head on the Door, Smith also included Kaleidoscope in his "five favourite albums". In a February 2008 interview on BBC Radio 2, Johnny Marr discussed McGeoch's contribution to "Happy House": "What it is about "Happy House" from a guitar playing point of view, is for a start it's modern. It's not got any of the sort of creaky old rock'n'roll aspects to it and it still sounded like the Banshees, almost more so. That's when I really began to become a fan of John McGeoch. It was an extra bonus for me that they'd got a great guitar player who had left another band and came in as a ringer and joined and not surprisingly, that to me was a very good scenario ". Thom Yorke selected "Happy House" as one of his milestones in an interview for the BBC in 2017. Radiohead stated in 2008 interviews that they had rehearsed "Happy House" before going on tour. O'Brien added: "We've been doing all this... stuff,... which is our youth, really. You know, when we were teenagers. They were very formative years, and those bands".

Red Hot Chili Peppers covered "Christine" in 2001 with John Frusciante on guitar. Bobby Gillespie was inspired by both "Happy House" and "Christine" because they were pop songs with dark subject matter. He stated: "That's the idea, yeah—to use the conventional way of constructing a pop song to communicate what I feel about the world and my take on relationships. It's a twist that makes it darker than it seems. When we were growing up, Siouxsie and the Banshees were doing this kind of stuff—they were getting in the charts with songs about mental hospitals! "Happy House"? That was nearly number fucking 10 in the charts! 'Christine, the strawberry girl, Christine, banana split lady'—they were writing about a girl with schizophrenia! They were getting in pop magazines and on TV; they were getting played on daytime radio. It's fucking subversive! They were outsiders bringing outsider subjects to the mainstream". Tim Burgess of the Charlatans said: "my favourite Banshees album is Kaleidoscope, because it's been the most played [...] or maybe because of one or a dozen other reasons, 'Happy House' and 'Clockface' are both in my top 100 songs of all time". Santigold took inspiration from the song "Red Light", explaining, "'My Superman' is an interpolation of a Siouxsie Sioux song, 'Red Light'... I love her song..." Santigold also later sampled "Lunar Camel", on her Top Ranking remix album. Jeremy Jay covered the same song on his Airwalker EP.

Kaleidoscope was also praised by the singer of Suede, Brett Anderson. Erasure's Andy Bell cited it as one of his favourites :"More commercial offering from Siouxsie was much more up my street – and consequently, as with all my favourite teen angst albums, I learnt all of the songs inside out and backwards". The Weeknd sampled and used the chorus of "Happy House" on the 2011 track "House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls", included on the Trilogy album.

Cultural references
In the 2006 film Notes on a Scandal, the sleeve of Kaleidoscope is shown in one of the scenes: the character played by Cate Blanchett tells her lover that it is her favourite album, calling it "a masterpiece", and that listening to the album as a teenager made her feel "invincible".

Petruchio

Petruchio (an anglicisation of the Italian name Petruccio, ) is the male protagonist in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew (c. 1590–1594).

Plot
In the play, Petruchio comes to the town of Padua in the hopes of marrying a wealthy woman. Hortensio suggests that he marry Kate Minola, the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the city, particularly because Hortensio can not court her sister Bianca until Kate is married. Petruchio takes an interest in Kate, owing to the dowry he could potentially receive, and agrees. During his first encounter with Kate, he matches her fierce temper and manages to convince her father that she passionately loves him but only pretends to hate him in public. The two are married, with Petruchio arriving at the wedding late and forcing Kate to leave the ceremony feast early.

Petruchio then starts to try to "tame" his wife in a variety of ways. He frightens Kate by yelling at the servants, and he prevents her from eating by insisting that the dishes are not good enough for her. He then offers Kate dresses and jewellery, only to return them saying that they too weren't good enough. When Bianca and Lucentio are married, Petruchio refuses to let Kate go to the wedding unless she agrees with everything he says, regardless of the validity of his claims. He puts her to the test by telling her that a man is a woman and that the moon is the sun – she agrees with both statements.

At the wedding, Petruchio is taunted by Hortensio and Lucentio for having married a "shrew". Petruchio proposes a contest to see which man has the most obedient wife: The three men are to call for their wives to see which ones respond. Of the three women, only Kate comes, and a triumphant Petruchio is the winner. Petruchio then orders Kate to bring the other wives and give a speech telling them to honour their husbands always.

Character analysis
Petruchio is debatably the most complex character in The Taming of the Shrew. His actions can be interpreted in several different lights, with each interpretation entirely changing the tone of the play. One popular opinion is that Petruchio is, for the most part, a selfish misogynist determined to tame Katharine for his own convenience and pride. He simply wanted to tame her to be able to say he tamed the most shrewish woman. In this interpretation, Petruchio marries Katharine solely for her dowry. The counterargument is that Petruchio develops love for Katharine and tames her because he sees her shrewishness as a condition that she cannot cure on her own. Another interpretation is that Petruchio likes Katharine for her strong, challenging personality and takes on taming her as a fun challenge.

Regardless, Petruchio seems to believe, like most members of Christian society did at the time, that society is most stable if women are submissive to their husbands. There is also some debate about how seriously Petruchio should be taken, and hence how we should interpret the meaning of the play. His ridiculous actions, including his unconventional attire at his wedding and his treatment of Katharine once they are married, are sometimes viewed as a reflection of his descent into madness. On the other hand, some see Petruchio as the fool of the play and attribute his actions to intended comic relief. Petruchio's character is very powerful in that the light in which we view him can change the play from a story of male chauvinism to an absurdist comedy.

Petruchio acts as the shrew
Petruchio marries Katharine to gain wealth. However, he is not content with her shrewish behaviour and he goes through great measures to assert his dominance over her and tame her. He believes that the only way to get through to Katharine is by giving her a taste of her own medicine. Petruchio takes on the role of a shrew to prove to his wife that this kind of behaviour is unpleasant. He makes a scene as he shows up late to his own wedding, and dressed inappropriately for the occasion. He decides that he will be the one to determine when Katharine will eat or sleep, believing that depriving her of her needs makes her more submissive to him. Toward this end, he also toys with her mind. On their journey back to Padua, Petruccio refuses to continue until Katharine agrees with him that the midday sun is the moon.

Cream Puffs
I'd like to add a section to this page regarding the cream-puff operation. If anyone has objections or ideas, please post them here, otherwise I'll begin working on something.--PaddyM 03:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Be bold! No reason to ask for permission to edit this article, especially since no one else appears to be editing it.  --BaronLarf 14:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea, let me know if I can help.DC (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Events & Entertainment
I notice that the section is tagged for cleanup. Just an FYI to other editors, I'm working on this right now, trying to turn it into more of a paragraph than a list.TheBigFish (talk) 23:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

2011 violent flash mob
Please do not remove content without a clear policy, guideline, or essay based reason. Event received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Please do not label legitimate differences of opinion as vandalism. It's a violation of WP:CIVIL.32.218.47.7 (talk) 02:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Last I checked blanking verified content can be considered vandalism. The event in question received national media attention, from a multitude of reliable sources, more so than any other event that has occurred regarding the subject of this article. Per WP:DUE the event, in some form, should be kept in the history section. Just because the event was not a positive event, does not mean it should not be included. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:37, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The editor gave a clear, valid, and legitimate edit summary: "Irrelevant information considering long history of fair". That's not vandalism by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, WP:VANDAL states that "any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism". Calling it such is not only a violation of WP:CIVIL but also of WP:AGF. 32.218.47.7 (talk) 03:01, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, this is that editor. I apologize for not including an essay reason.  Here's why the inclusion to 2011 events is inappropriate to include, in my opinion:  With the "History of the Fair" paragraph including 3 short paragraphs, it should not include an incident as such.  As someone who witnessed the events of that night firsthand, many details are incorrect.  Notable events of the Wisconsin State Fair and it's 163 year history are many, and should not include one isolated incident from 3 years ago without more comprehension.  I wish to remain fair, however, so I propose a solution:  A comprehensive History of the Wisconsin State Fair, lows and highs, including events of such nature as to include year-by-year successes and controversies alike.  How does that sound, fellow editors?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.154.132 (talk) 03:15, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I am not against expanding the article, I never have said I was. If other verified content can be added, please add it. But I do not think erase this part of the events history, that arguably could meet WP:EVENT, serves to benefit the article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:04, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Those are good points, RightCowLeftCoast. But I feel the Wisconsin State Fair can be better summed up by histories of the architecture, agriculture, youth groups, and racing prowess throughout the years rather than events that occurred 3 years ago.  Perhaps the 2011 fair events could be listed under a separate heading entitled, "Controversies".  As it stands now, it appears evident to me that undue weight is given to that aspect of the fair's history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quarkmac (talk • contribs) 05:58, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Given the national coverage it received I think it actually meets due weight. Can any other editor point out another series of events where the subject of this article received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources? I looked; majority fall clearly under WP:GEOSCOPE. Compare this to the 2011 mob violence event which received national coverage.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:20, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That is also a good point, RightCowLeftCoast. But the Wisconsin State Fair is not known for the events of 2011.  If the History section of the article were expanded, then it would be prudent to include the subject.  As it stands now, it is given undue weight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quarkmac (talk • contribs) 18:40, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I hadn't even heard of the fair until this incident. Please show me non-local, national reliable source coverage of what the fair is known for? If other editors can find it, please add it! Just saying it is undue doesn't make it so. If it is undue than we should be able to find thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of non-local reliable sources about other events that have occurred at the fair (its history). I have looked, so I have given the consideration that the event is undue, and that is not what my research has found.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that this article is not the place for an extensive recounting of a minor incident, and have trimmed the content for due weight. I've also added a quote from a commentator for context. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There are at least two reliable sources verifying that hate crime charges were considered (including the Christian Science Monitor source (that was deleted) and BET), while it was bold to delete the content, should that not be considered? Furthermore, the quote is unsourced as of the most recent edit.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:05, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Furthermore how is this a minor incident? Over a dozen people were injured, and what was also removed was over two dozen people were arrested? Why leave out that people were arrested but only include how many people were injured?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:14, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Because WP:UNDUE suggests that we give incidents due weight based on the length of the article. Extensive discussion of the incident in an article this short does represent undue weight, because it is such a short article with very little context. If this article was expanded to featured-article length, then it might not be undue to have more than one paragraph about the incident. As it is, the incident takes up fully one-third of the fair's "History" section. You can't possibly be arguing that the incident is the most important thing that has ever happened in the 164-year history of the fair, and I'm pretty sure you don't have any reliable sources claiming that it is. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The Wisconsin State fair is known for the Guinness Record of the World's Largest Cream Puff. The inclusion of IndyFest to the Milwaukee Mile.  Breaking the 1 million attendance record 2 years in a row.  The oldest operational cow barn structure in State Fair circuits.  It's also known for fascinating controversies like Jeffery Dahmer's arrest, the attack on the Milwaukee Mayor, and and the Sky Glider malfunction.  Let's make a comprehensive history of the Wisconsin State Fair, highs and lows, so as to include events that will have significance to mention in a 164-odd year history.  Discussing the minutiae of one hour of one day in 2011, in my opinion, is irresponsible until we can provide a full History of the Fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quarkmac (talk • contribs) 10:23, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't claim that it is, I am looking at the national reliable sources about the fair. As I said, I did the research, I am not finding significant coverage of other events that have occurred at the fair. If there are other events that received non-local (within the state, as this is a state fair) multiple reliably sourced coverage, I invite other editors to expand the article. This event meets all parts of WP:EVENT, except for WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, as the coverage lasted about a week or two, and then non-Wisconsin sources did not follow up on the result of the arrest, those who were injured, or the possibility of hate crime charges (other than the mention in the book cited in the paragraph).
 * Again, just saying something is undue, doesn't make it so. If there were other events that received significant coverage outside of the local area (again WP:GEOSCOPE) that have greater coverage, I hadn't found them, and I have been looking. Looking at news coverage since 1990, I find three non-Wisconsin sources that give mention of the fair:
 * Q&A: Kevin Healy on Milwaukee IndyFest activation heading into Wisconsin State Fair
 * He keeps Minnesota State Fair's livestock barns real (and rural)
 * The Wackiest State Fair Competitions Around America
 * Now let us look at the searches for the event, 416k hits. Compare this to when one adds "violence" to the search (almost all about the 2011 event), 51.6K hits. That comes out to 12% of all searches about the event or about 1/8th of all hits about the subject of this article. That is significant, IMHO. Compare this to populations of different states, this one event would be like California (11.91%) to the rest of the United States' population.
 * I kindly ask the above editor, while this matter is still being discussed, so that others who are new to the discussion can see all the content, that are the subject of this discussion.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:44, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Is there lasting coverage of this "flash mob"? That is, has there been significant continuing coverage and interest in the event, or are all of those hits simply repetitious news stories from 2011? My Google search detects very, very few reliable sources which consider the event of current interest. I find that search returns a ton of 2011 blog posts (many of them on racist, white supremacist sites, by the way, which doesn't exactly help your case.) NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There are also plenty of reliable source sites that gave significant coverage of the case, as I have provided in the article, and in this discussion. The 416k non-violence hits, also contains plenty of non-reliable sources as well, however no one other than myself have provided reliable sources that give significant coverage to other events that have occurred at the fair during this discussion.
 * Also, on the above question, I already answered that in my previous post; therefore there is not need to ask that. If we were to go for lasting, has there been lasting coverage of any other event that has occurred at the Wisconsin State Fair? If not, then would the other editors want the history section blanked? Why target this one event that meets two of three parts of WP:EVENT. Please look at that guideline, that is for a stand-alone article. Why are we judging the notability of a single event using a guideline for a stand-alone article? What we should be doing, as I have done, is look at what reliable sources give weight to in regards to events that have occurred at the subject of this article (the Wisconsin County Fair). No other single event received as much national reliably sourced content as this event. Therefore, it deserves to be in the article per WP:DUE.
 * If others would like to suggest a condensed version of the content as it was before NorthBySouthBaranof boldly and unilaterally removed verified content, that preserves all the reliable sources, thus allowing the reader judge for themselves whether the event was significant or not, than I would be willing to work towards a consensus compromise. But to remove the content outright would be like removing California from the United States.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:23, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I consider the current version to be an acceptable compromise, as long as the rest of the article remains this length. If you want to work together to quadruple the length of the article as a whole, which would make it no longer undue to perhaps slightly expand the section, then we could have that discussion. Otherwise, it's fine as-is, IMO.
 * Also, I have reworded the section in accordance with the sources, which do not state exactly the number of people alleged to be involved - a source which says "dozens to hundreds" does not allow us to state "hundreds" as unequivocal fact. The sources supplied also hedge their statements about the alleged motivations, with statements such as "some people claim racially-charged attacks" and "Questions Arise Over Whether 'Flash Mob' Attacks in U.S. Cities Motivated by Race." We must similarly hedge our discussion. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help with signing posts, RightCowLeftCoast. Part of the reason I decided to edit the page in the first place was because of the undue weight given to the History section.  As of right now, it can be summed up as: 1. First State Fair, 2. Second State Fair and moving, 3. The events of one night of the 2011 State Fair.  I just think that the apparentness of undue weight is almost... glaringly obvious.  As the article stands now, is still is summarized as such (1. First State Fair, 2. Second State Fair and moving, 3. The events of one night of the 2011 State Fair), but I suppose I must compromise with the new edits.  Since I live in Milwaukee and posses the Wisconsin State Fair historical archives, I might as well get going on filling completing the page to it's full potential!  I think that would be the best way to solve any disagreements.Quarkmac (talk) 20:27, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Why exclude information about the numbers arrested? Is that not as relevant as how many were injured? It could be included along with the injury figures. Also I see two (1 2) sources were deleted that are both reliable sources.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:41, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Because there's no need to stack multiple sources for the same information we already have. That's citation overkill. I have removed the Business Insider source with an incredibly inflammatory headline - no other source has used such incendiary and unsupported wording for the incident. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 21:01, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, found something that can have the event meet WP:PERSISTENCE, coupled with the book mention, the event was discussed a year later by the event organizers (including here, here). And found that no hate crime chargers were pressed.
 * Inflammatory or not it is still a reliable source, there is also inflammatory content in the NPR source
 * "But at some point, the fighting spread outside of the grounds of the fair - and at that point became a racial incident with black kids basically targeting and attacking and in some case, robbing predominantly white fairgoers. So it was a pretty disturbing dynamic for people to see happen."

- Eugene Kane

 * Should that be removed to? What else should be removed? Please see WP:NOTCENSORED:
 * "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive, even exceedingly so."

 * When did NorthBySouthBaranof begin to become the owner of the content of this site? Why instead of deciding on your own what should and should not be in the content, do as I had proposed, and come up with compromise content here first?
 * Given this new problem I am taking this to a noticeboard.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Of the four editors who have weighed in on the content in question, three have identified the last paragraph of the History section as UNDUE. Therefore, NorthBySouthBaranof's edits would seem to be in line with the consensus of this group. 32.218.38.67 (talk) 22:37, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it's fair (no pun intended) to insert a sentence about the followup. How about Fair managers added a youth curfew and worked with civic and youth leaders to prevent a recurrence sourced to the Fox 6 News article? NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 22:44, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's an excellent addition. As I see it, the WP:UNDUE problem with the last paragraph stems less from its length than from its tone: it's newsy and sensationalistic. A paragraph more in line with WP:NOTNEWS might read something like: "In 2011 the fair became the target of a flash mob, as a group of adolescents attacked fairgoers both within the fairgrounds and in the surrounding area. Some witnesses asserted the attacks were racially motivated. In response, fair managers added a youth curfew and worked with civic and youth leaders to prevent a recurrence." 32.218.38.67 (talk) 22:57, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

That is OK, but it wasn't just some witnesses asserted, some attackers asserted it (CSM, Smoking Gun, BET, WBBM), IMHO that should not be avoided. Why hide that fact? How about this: "In 2011 the fair became the target of a flash mob, as a group of adolescents attacked fairgoers both within the fairgrounds and in the surrounding area. According to West Allis Police an attacker said the attacks were racially motivated. In response, fair managers added a youth curfew and worked with civic and youth leaders to prevent a recurrence." This is due to this quote from WBBM: "Police investigating the violent incidents at the Wisconsin State Fair has led to the arrest of a 16-year-old boy who said he targeted white fairgoers. The Milwaukee teen told police he and other African-American juveniles beat up white people because they were “easy targets,” according to West Allis police. He also said he “was going along with the crowd” in the robberies that happened after the midway closed last Thursday." --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:39, 26 August 2014 (UTC) I don't know if it is truly okay for discussion of a major attack to be in an article about the state fair as long as it took place there, but I do know it shouldn't be in the history section. So what I am going to do is move the race attack to its own section and put the Milwaukee Mile as a subheading under the history section.208.107.174.235 (talk) 02:42, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I reverted the edit per WP:BRD. There is no consensus for the change boldly made by the IP editor. The reversion also removed other content added by the IP editor that was not properly cited, and thus removed per WP:BURDEN.
 * Last I checked 2011, is in the past, therefore it is history.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:40, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Indica Gallery

Indica Gallery was a counterculture art gallery in Mason's Yard (off Duke Street), St James's, London from 1965 to 1967, in the basement of the Indica Bookshop. John Dunbar, Peter Asher, and Barry Miles owned it, and Paul McCartney supported it and hosted a show of Yoko Ono's work in November 1966, at which Ono met John Lennon.

Indica Books and Gallery
Miles had been running the bookshop and alternative happenings venue Better Books but with new, more traditional, owners arriving, had been planning to open his own bookstore/venue. Through Paolo Leonni, Miles met John Dunbar who was planning on opening a gallery, and with John's friend Peter Asher as silent partner, they combined their ideas into a company called Miles, Asher and Dunbar Limited (MAD) to start the Indica Books and Gallery in September 1965, as an outlet for art and literature. They found empty premises at 6 Masons Yard, which was in the same courtyard as the Scotch of St James club, where John Dunbar was living with his girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, when he discovered the place. The name chosen for the bookshop/gallery was a reference to Cannabis indica.

Yoko Ono and Beatles involvement
At the time, Paul McCartney was dating Asher's sister Jane Asher and living in the Asher family house at 57 Wimpole Street. He became involved with the emerging underground culture in London, and helped set up the bookshop and gallery. He was the Indica bookshop's first customer, before it even had premises; he would look through the books at night that were stored in the Ashers' basement and leave a note for the books that he had taken to be put on his account. Artists such as Pete Brown also helped in the renovation of the Indica. Jane Asher donated the shop's first cash till, which was an old Victorian till that she had played with as a young girl. McCartney helped to draw the flyers which were used to advertise the Indica's opening, and he also designed the wrapping paper.

McCartney encouraged fellow-Beatles member John Lennon to visit the gallery. On 7 November 1966, Lennon attended a preview evening of Unfinished Paintings, a conceptual art exhibition by Yoko Ono that ran from the 8th to the 18th of November. Co-owner John Dunbar had seen Ono's performances of Cut Piece at the Destruction in Art Symposium in September and invited her to make an exhibition for Indica Gallery. On seeing it, Lennon initially liked the artwork Apple and was impressed by the interactive Ceiling Painting/Yes Painting, which he found very positive. While Lennon and Ono claimed that this was the first time they met, this is disputed by Miles and others.

Indica Bookshop
In 1966, the Indica bookshop was separated from the Indica Gallery, and moved to 102 Southampton Row in the summer of 1966. The bookshop was opened on the site of an old and established bookseller and exporter called William Jackson Books Limited. Jackson's had decided to concentrate on the export side of its business and sold a twenty-year lease of the retail bookshop to Miles, Asher, and Dunbar. The name of the bookshop was promptly changed to INDICA Books. Chris Hill and his wife Jo, who owned William Jackson Books, had taken a flat above the shop on Southampton Row and ran the export business from there. It soon proved to be a popular venue for the INDICA Books team and the royalty of the 'swinging sixties' that were associated with them. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were visitors to the flat and on one evening, in 1966, they rehearsed a song they called "Mark I" in the flat. The song was later recorded at the Abbey Road Studios as "Tomorrow Never Knows" and included on the Revolver album.

The International Times newspaper was started in the basement of the Southampton Row bookshop.

2006 exhibition
An exhibition at Riflemaker (a gallery on Beak Street in London) in November 2006 revisited Indica 40 years after it was closed. It included work by the original artists including Liliane Lijn, Boyle Family/Mark Boyle and Carlos Cruz-Diez as well as a younger generation of artists whose work related to some of the ideas first presented there.

Kaupanger

Kaupanger is a village situated along the northern shore of the Sognefjorden in the municipality of Sogndal in Vestland county, Norway. It sits along the Norwegian National Road 5, about 12 km southeast of the municipal centre of Sogndalsfjøra and about 8 km northeast of the Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen. Kaupanger IL is a sports club located in Kaupanger.

The 1.1 km2 village has a population (2019) of 1,012 and a population density of 920 PD/km2.

History
Kaupanger originated as a settlement during the Viking Age. Earlier, Kaupanger was known as Tingstad. Kaupang is an Old Norse term for a trading or market place so the village's name is composed of kaup- (buy) and angr (fjord, harbor), hence "buy harbor", similar to the literal translation of Copenhagen. The Kaupanger Stave Church is believed to have been built in the 12th century and it is still in existence in this village.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Phishing/archive1

Phishing
I nominated the article back in May: May 2005 nomination Since then, the article has received two extensive peer reviews. July-Aug 2005 peer review and the June 2005 peer review. Both reviews have been extremely helpful in improving this article. I believe the article is now ready to for becoming a featured article on wikipedia. It meets the criteria for becoming a featured article, and also has been cited as a source by three different media organizations. (See the article's talk page for more information on that.) Furthermore, phishing has become an important issue today as the number of phishing issues reported increases rapidly.
 * Nominate and Support -- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Much better than last time. Interesting article too. -- Ryan Norton T 15:23, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Two problems--first of all, the copyright status of the User Friendly strip isn't clear to me; all it says on the image description page is that it was "released to the internet", and that it's copyrighted by the strip's creator. Secondly, the section entitled "Attempts after AOL" is full of confusing technical jargon (sample sentence: "Secunia has issued a security advisory on the IDN spoofing issue[1], based on the IDN homograph attacks identified by Eric Johanson [2]. Users of web browsers that implement IDN are affected"). You should lead up to the technical stuff, rather than simply launching straight in after the easy-to-understand "early phishing on AOL" section. Meelar (talk) 15:36, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * The picture is can be used on Wikipedia, because of the following message in the Userfriendly FAQ section. I have already updated the image description page.  I am going to update the userfriendly tag, so this issue can be avoided in the future. As for your second object, I will begin working on it.-- ZeWrestler   Talk 15:51, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick reply. I look forward to seeing your work--the rest of the article is very good. Not sure if the User-Friendly FAQ entry helps much, though--it appears to allow non-commercial use only, which violates the GFDL. Might want to either justify fair use or yank the strip (it doesn't seem essential to the article, esp. considering the large number of other excellent illustrations). Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 15:58, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * The user friendly copytag is not listed under GFDL. It is listed under Free licenses. GFDL does not apply to this image.  Copyright for the image applys to this site, because the image is being used for educational purposes, as specified on the FAQ above.  If the image becomes too much of an issue, i'll remove it from the article, but personally, I would preferr to keep it in. I believe it adds a nice touch to the article. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 17:07, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have made corrections to the section per your suggestion. Are the changes good enough, or is there something else that needs to be changed? -- ZeWrestler   Talk 17:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support--your changes address my concerns. The User Friendly image isn't compatible with Wikipedia, unfortunately. He says he's fine with re-use, "as long as no money changes hands"--this essentially prevents commercial sites from mirroring this image. Non-commercial-use-only images aren't acceptable. I personally would pull the image. But with or without it, this is a very feature-worthy article. Best, Meelar (talk) 17:37, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. What I will do involving your image concerns are make a note of it on the takepage of the article.  There it can be determined if the image stays are goes.  talk page -- ZeWrestler   Talk 17:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support Looking back at my original objections, it appears that they have been addressed.  This is a marked improvement from the previous version. Well done! slambo 15:52, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you-- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Looks really good. --Alabamaboy 17:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * One thing I noticed though (and this doesn't change my vote) is that the in-line notes don't add up. The body of the article has 14 in-line notes, but the note section lists 17. Obviously, three notes were deleted at some point but the in-line note system wasn't corrected. This causes the notes to not link up properly. I don't have time right now to fix it so I thought I'd point out the issue.--Alabamaboy 18:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I added one of the missing tags to the article. (honestly, i forgot to include the note tag for that one.) The other two articles, were used as references, but not cited directly. The information in them is reflected in the article, and because of that, they have been put in the reference section but given no direct reference in the article.-- ZeWrestler   Talk 18:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * They were still out of order in the notes section, causing text reference 1 to link to note reference 4, and so on. I think I have corrected this (although there appear to be two references in the notes section (#16 & 17) that have no corresponding note in the body of the article). Please verify that they are now correct and that I didn't mess anything up. --Alabamaboy 19:54, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess they had to be in order they were used in the article. I had them in alphabetical order. With 16 and 17, those two sources were used in the article, but not directly cited because content and idea were not directly taken from them. Because they were used, i thought it right to include them, without any reference notes. Thanks for making the fix.-- ZeWrestler   Talk 20:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they have to go in the order they're used in the article. That's the most time consuming aspect of using the system. best, --Alabamaboy 20:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Gerald R. Molen

Gerald Robert "Jerry" Molen (born January 6, 1935) is an American film producer. In 2019, Movicorp announced Molen will be producing Sweet By and By, southern gothic romantic thriller; and in 2021, Molen began initial preparations for the mini-series. Molen is now semi-retired and spends his time traveling between his native Montana and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Life and career
Molen was born in Great Falls, Montana, the son of Edith Lorraine (née Meyer) and Gerald Richard Molen. He grew up in North Hollywood, California, after moving from Montana, with a number of younger brothers and sisters. His mother ran a diner, "The Blue Onion", which was located across from one of the major studios. Molen has appeared in supporting roles or cameos in several of the films he has produced, including Rain Man, Days of Thunder, and Jurassic Park.

Molen produced 2016: Obama's America, a documentary critical of American President Barack Obama, during the 2012 presidential campaign. He also produced a later follow-up, Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, a 2016 documentary that was heavily panned, winning four of the five Golden Raspberry Awards for which it was nominated, including Worst Picture, the first documentary to do so.

In 2016, with a second consecutive year of an all-white Oscar nominee list brought accusations of discrimination in Hollywood and the threat of an Oscar boycott, Molen argued that racism in the film industry was not a matter of concern. "There is no racism except for those who create an issue,” he said. “That is the worst kind. Using such an ugly way of complaining.”

Molen is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is a conservative.

Envy (novel)

Envy (Зависть) is a satirical novel by the Russian writer Yury Olesha, first published in 1927.

Plot summary
The novel is about a pathetic young man named Nikolai Kavalerov, who refuses to accept Communist values and is consumed by loathing and envy for his benefactor Andrei Babichev, a model Soviet citizen who manages a successful sausage factory. With Andrei Babichev's brother Ivan, Kavalerov attempts to stage a comeback of all the old, petty feelings that were crushed under communism. In the end, Ivan and Kavalerov are crushed by their own iniquity.

Background
Envy first appeared in Krasnaya Nov, a Soviet literary magazine, in late 1927. Olesha wrote the novel while working at the Gudok, a widely read newspaper of the Railway Workers' Union. Other authors of the newspaper were Mikhail Bulgakov, Isaac Babel, Ilya Ilf, and Yevgeny Petrov.

Style
Encyclopædia Britannica calls Envy "a satire in the tradition of Notes from the Underground".

Themes
The central social theme of Envy is the fate of the intelligentsia in Russia's postrevolutionary society. The novel presents a clash between the rational industrial state and the creative aspirations of Nikolay Kavalerov, which results with Kavalerov throwing his potential away. Despite Olesha's enthusiasm for the new state of affairs, Envy is one of a number of 20th-century Russian novels in which the protagonists clash with Soviet reality and as a result find themselves marginalized.
