Here is a song from my new obsession, who I just discovered today! Dave Smallen - The Tower Everyone needs to check out his site, http://www.davesmallen.com/index.html where you can listen to FULL albums or single tracks for FREE!

I am absolutely loving Vasa and Gus. That is how you build up a couple.

I didn't expect for voice to be so ... is stoic the right word?

This sexual assault story has made the show feel like much more of an ensemble.

Reading on DS, looks like I got exactly that. The 4th victim is:

I don't know, but is it wrong that I'd totally love that story to happen?

I watched the hour and a half pilot episode. Alfie with hair! Steven and his karate! Floss as someone's name! This was a trip.

Just watched the episode Ben ... Rhys is someone I watched and loved for six years and now he's dead. Wow. I can already tell I'm going to dislike the new Holly, she seems horrid. And I'm really going to hate Esther being blamed for the crash, though I hope it can be used as a reason for Frankie to hate the McQueens again as there's no way Jacqui won't be on the warpath. The best part of the episode to me was that Cindy got the final shot. I hope Kirkwood shocks us with another death like he did with one of the twins (forgot her name) when he blew up The Dog. And this may be weird, but seperate from each other I dislike Doug and Leanne, but their friendship with Texas seems so genuine to me that I want them all to stick around. I think they're probably the strongest friendship on the show.

Damn you, Ben. You made me think today's episode and not the E4 day ahead was the one which reveals who dies, but I'm still happy I watched today's. Even though Tony knows about Rhys and Cindy's affair and has every intention of embarrassing her in front of everyone, even her returned to town daughter, he still, in the end can't go throught with it and marries her anyway only for her to change her mind once again and beg Rhys to let her runaway with him. And still, I feel sympathetic to Cindy because you just know that with Rhys supposedly about to die, history is about to repeat itself with her being left a single mother all over again. (That last part is all specualtion, of course.) It was a kind of too little too late and way too short shrift, but Tilly telling Maddie they were no longer friends after finally seeing her true colours was still nice to watch.

I haven't watched yet, but before Ben spoils it, (which you can feel free to do!), I'm going to guess Maddie and Rhys died, since that's what it looks like in the promo.

Katie falls down a mineshaft next week. Let's all hope for the best!

I'm just happy that horrible Tash demon is leaving. Best news of the year!

Two other questions ... 1) Is Patricia Bruder still alive? 2) How did the Hunter storyline end?

Was Sandy's son, Jimmy, with Roy McGuire ever on the show? Were Jimmy and Roy ever killed off?

Rachel is one of the legends of Shortland Street. She used to be such a devious bitch. She's arguably the most popular character in the show's history. And like Rachel, Chris didn't stick around from the character's inception. Both have had long breaks from the show. Regarding pacing, the show moves swiftly. If they would just get rid of Jasmine, Angel and Ula, I'd be a much happier camper. And though I very much enjoy the show, I do find myself thinking that if it was written by the EastEnders team it would be so much better, individual episode wise. Case in point, Friday's episode, which I won't spoil for you. Where are you in watching now?

Hmm, if Cindy is pregnant and Sinead gets pregnant by the mystery man, I wonder if we could have a baby switch on our hands?

On the bright side, the show should at least be commeneded for the amount of gay characters they have on the show: Brendan, Ste, Doug, George, Esther, Tilly, Jenn and now John Paul. Though with JP returning, I do think this will be the end of Doug, whcih is fine for me because I don't like the actor. Oh, and I must say I really like Dylan, the partially deaf character. I wish they would have Esther / Phoebe / Dylan / Lacey team up to destory Maddie / Sinead / Ruby. And Esther needs to pull a Nicole Owen and tell these bitches off like Nicole did to Sarah and Nancy.

My guess is Cameron or Robbie then. But if it's Carl, I will be f*cking pissed!
