Bright Eyes

Texas listens to Bright Eyes! The best band ever (hence my name!) Loving her and Dodger immensely. Except for the lifeless Jen / Tilly story, this show is on fire right now.

I wonder why Bill Bell didn't write for Another World over Days?

Watching that 2nd promo, were Scotty and Luke friends at one point?

This is going to be a minority opinion and it could be due to just starting to watch this week, but I don't like Heath. Every scene he was in this week made him come off extremely unlikable and judgmental.

I meant I have a crush on Priya's husband and my heart broke for him because I thought Priya and Paul were haeading towards an affair. I hope it doesn't go that way, but Paul and Priya do have a very interesting relationship. Would it be in Paul's character just to screw with her head?

Currently I am watching Shortland Street, EastEnders, Home and Away, Hollyoaks, Neighbours, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Days of our Lives and am enjoying them in that order. Starting with Sharon's return on August 13, I have started watching all these 8 soaps again, with SS, HA and Neighbours the three soaps that I have never watched on a regular basis before. The only thing I have ever seen of Neighbours is Susan clips and some Kylie Minogue stuff, LoL. Days, being a US soap will probably always be ranked last, no matter what! LoL As for the Vanessa triangle, I liked her and Rhys on Monday, but since I only started this week I can't really say I have a real opinion on them yet. Today's episode should give me something more to judge, I believe. I like Paul more than Priya so far. To be honest, I kind of have a crush on him. It was nice though that Priya came clean to Paul about the guy whose name I can't remember (sorry). My heart had already broken for Paul. LoL I figured Kyle and Jade had to at least be somewhat popular since they seem to get the most focus out of everyone so far. How long ago did Kyle and Kate kiss? And has either of them cheated on the other before?

Yes, I do like it, though, out of the 8 soaps I'm watching I'd rank it around the middle of the pack. I do really like Paul and I really like that couple who just that Charlotte, the guy's boss, was hitting on him. I enjoy them the most so far. What do you think about Kyle and Jade? It seems obvious to me that the relationship is going to blow up in their face sooner or later.

I've the seen the best version of it ( ) starring Katharine Hepburn and Joan Bennett.

Correct, sir. I just watched Scaramouche starring Ramon Navarro and Alice Terry. With the print I got looking immaculate, which is rare for silent films, the film seemed so regal during the aristocrat scenes. And it was exceptional with the very, very soapy scene near the end!

The QUEEN of acting!

Just started watching this show and I'm hooked. Annette/Bree/Brooke seems like a great story.

Just watched my first Neighbours episode ever, though I have seen Susan/Karl clips before. It was today's episode, at AUS pace, and one thing they need to IMMEDIATELY stop doing is having those random musical interlude disrupting scenes. It's so offputting. Oh yeah, and Kyle seems like a dick. LoL I did like his nosy grandmother though. She was fun putting her oar in. I also enjoyed the pregnant woman, who ended up doing a dine and sash with her son, whose father, I'm assuming is out of the picture. And like the son said, that guy who wouldn't let them leave totally came off as a psycho. What an ass!

Paul Anka singing Nirvana? That should not be allowed, ever.

If you enjoy silent films like I do, my favourite silent film will always be Broken Blossoms, starring Lillian Gish and my favourite male actor of all time, Richard Barthelmess. Lillian Gish gives one of the best performances in cinema history.

Ha! I also watched the The Mark of Zorro, but again, it was the silent version starring Douglas Fairbanks! LoL

I have not, but I did just recently watch the Robin Hood silent film starring Douglas Fairbanks, who I just adore.

Make him one note like everybody else.

Second Chances, along with 2000 Malibu Road (I think?) took a hit when their sets were destoryed in some accident or something, right?

This made me laugh. I'm sure he had his reasons but just thinking of it as the reason he left EastEnders, it seems like a great exaggeration. The EE curse strikes once again. Like, EE ruined his life so much that he had to get out of the show, the career and the COUNTRY! Just, wow.

I stopped watching this show a long time ago, but did Quinn end up dying from that car crash? Or, at least, is Dianna Agron returning for the fourth season?

Wow, thanks so much for posting that link Carl. I just watched all four episodes very happily. Ruth and Jude are two characters who should have returned a long time ago. I wish the Benson family hadn't been so dismantled. I honestly really loved everyone and it was interesting to see early Mandy/Cindy and the first actors to play Darren and Max. Though I'm grateful for Ashley Taylor Dawson and Matt Littler, I wonder why the show thought it was necessary to recast. The previous actors seemed capable enough to me. Which brings me to wonder why the early years are taunted with terrible acting. It's nothing close to what you could see on the show nowadays from some. I also am saddened that both friendships really weren't kept throughout the series. Were either Mandy and Cindy's or especially Max and Darren's best friendship's ever referenced? How would Becca and OB feel about this? LoL I'm really happy to have gotten to see more of Bazz. I thought he was much less prominent of a character and I had no idea he was gay. Do you have any idea if that story went anywhere? Did Bazz actually die in that wonderful four hander episode? Also, I wonder if Hollyoaks had a lot of small cast episodes like the Bazz/Lucy/Kurt/Ruth episode. Still, I laughed when Ruth cried that she may be too old to have a child at 34! Oh the travesty! LoL And the best of all these episodes is that you really feel the closeness of the friendships between everyone. However, I wonder why Maddie and Jude weren't at Tony's wedding?

I haven't seen much of Home and Away, but I always love watching that great clip of the 2006 finale where Sally gets stabbed. It's so good. And H&A is also where I learned that Tammin Sursok is actually a really great actress. Also, what was the reaction to that later Milco storyline?

The weird thing is, I've never liked Tad or Michael E. Knight, but curiosity just gets the best of me and then there's the fact that I'm a product of wanting everything at once generation. So you have to blame my nagging on society! And seeing Jack paying legally doesn't bother me. This is actually what I hate to see soap fans complain about. It's paying in their personal lives that I'm more interested in. However, it is sad to see that you are keep Todd and Starr in New York. Those poor, poor Port Charles residents. LoL Though I see you didn't mention Port Charles specifically, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but are Cole and Hope dead? It would be nice if you kind of retconned that Starr went to live in L.A. with Langston and Markko, while Cole faked his death to chill with his parents. (Now I'm fan-fictioning! I apologize!)

Hmm, I wonder if Hayley's little extravagance is a nightmare and not actually reality? We shall see next week. Happy to see the Victor/Todd situation is going to be addressed. Though, and I'm sure we'll get more answers next week, is Todd in prison or are he and Starr in Port Charles? And if Skye is involved with Victor's kidnapping, then I can only wonder what Viki will have to say about this which can then cause problems between her and Clint. And heartthrob Jack is gay! ... though I still think he has to pay for his attempted murder and bullying past so I hope his world comes crashing down soon enough. And looking Christian Alexander up he did play Kristina's abuser boyfriend, so maybe I'm not far off. Oh Onyx Kane just does not play around! And best of all, there's going to be a grand event that will get everyone in the same room. It'll be nice to see Tad finally get to interact with everyone else. Though, I apologize, but why is he in Heaven's Meadow again? I've forgotten. LoL

It's now time for Anjie to show us what she's made of. Let's see how she gets herself out of Lindsay's clutches ... I wonder if there will be an all out war eventually with the newbies vs. the vets. It'll be fun when we get to see more details into their plans, motives and how the stories hopefully intersect each other. Things are building very nicely. I hope Hayley at least has some drunken sex. She needs to hop on something, me thinks.
