Bright Eyes

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.

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.

I'm very happy to have read yesterday that Barry Sloane (Niall Rafferty) will have a recurring role on season two of REVENGE! It makes my anticipation for the next season all the greater.

These newbies sure do hate people from Pine Valley. The Lucas / Jaquie scene was hilarious and I could just imagine Lindsay being so proud being able to show up Viki. Lindsay really has been your MVP of the show so far. The Hayley was very dark and very, very sad. Especially the end, where she takes to the alcohol, AGAIN! Damn good soap there. It'll add such a wonderful layer once Erica becomes more involved.

Best episode yet. It was refreshing to see Viki in business mode. She was Victor Lord's progeny after all and we haven't seen her act like it in years. Finally Skye truly is a Chandler again. The explanation was certainly reasonable, but I do hope Skye and Adam do undergo one last DNA test to be absolutely sure! Maybe they could frame it! LoL You're writing for Lindsay is on par. I can easily picture her saying it all, especially that out of prison line. Girl is not ashamed of nuthin'. On the other hand, I am finding Skye to be a little too schmaltsy for my tastes.

Is this mystery woman going to be ONYX Kane? LoL I wonder if Lucas will turn into Hayley's Jonathan Kinder? But when exactly did Skye have time to marry Lucas? The backstory there should be interesting. I loved the Skye / Adam scenes, but I thought it odd that JR's recent rehabiliation wouldn't also be a reason for Adam to seek out Skye. I know Skye and JR were never close, but did JR and Hayley ever have some semblance of a relationship?

Who was the woman with Alan who was said to be married to Justin? Why did Lucille want Ben dead? What was the point of Roger and the foreign woman? That episode left me wanting so much more. When Roger threatened the man following him and Alan, I felt that. There's not really anyone on soaps today who can do that anymore.

The twins' relationship kind of irked me as until the first swimming scene I thought they were a couple. But both were very attractive and likable. I love that Hilda had to hop the fence with Bill turned away. However, the beginning narration was an odd choice. I guess they were still in the radio mindset.

I just watched it. Because I am too young to have had a real soap patriarch to look up to like Alice Horton was my matriarch, Larry Haines is just so easy to adopt as a grandfather figure. Hands down my favourite soap actor of all time. Does anyone know what the Bergman family tree would look like? Suzy was related or close to Jo, right?

That was her last scene? She was an original character, right?

The plot thickens. So many treacherous snakes on this show, anything can happen. I just hope the newbies know who their dealing with. It'll be interesting if they be able to play with the heavy hitters. Next episode should be great to have the much anticipated Adam / Skye scene. I do hope in the future, Rae Cummings could be a full time character on the show.

Didn't see that cliffhanger coming. Can't wait to see how Lindsey knows Dixie. This episode just brought home to me that Skye is kind of the focal point that brings everyone together. However, Tad definately needs to be spread around more as his presence comes off superfluous to me. Brandon and Brianna. You can never trust siblings that share the same first initial!
