Bright Eyes

I wasn't aware of Phil's slap, so when it happened, my jaw was on the floor. But again, I don't like Steve McFadden. He swirls around too much. It's bothersome.

Speaking of Mitchells. I am going to have a very tough time watching Phil in a lead story. I really don't find him to be a good actor at all.

It's AUBREY, bitches! I wonder how much he despises being called that? All this talk of Degrassi makes me want to go back and start at the beginning. I want my memories flooding back to me like Hurricane Katrina! :0 Sorry guys, but I [!@#$%^&*] LOATHE Craig. LOATHED!!! But Manny, Paige, Ellie. They were my girls. And someone brought up the guy that raped Paige ... he is was divinely sexy. Shawn Roberts

Why randomly Lisa Dingle? Actually, I could see Jane Cox and Kathleen Widdoes being related ...

Well, that was one funeral you probably wouldn't see on any other soap. It was nice to see Laurel and especially Brenda say something in honour of Shadrach and the end with Zach was a very nice touch.

It is a shame this isn't a soap opera theme.

Surely you're not forgetting about the Dingles?

The brunette in the first clip kind if resembles an uglier Scarlett Johansson.

How long have Ryan and Janine been together?

I was at this show.

I hate Libby. She's an idiot.

Today's opening had me fearing I accidentally downloaded an episode from last year or something. It was a nice touch, though. What does Gilly do for a living?

Does the new opening premiere on Monday?

Ste had a baby kidnapping plot? LoL I bet the only reason they cast him as Riley is because he looks so identical to Max, and has a six pack. Sadly, he still isn't even that attractive. Where have all the hot blokes gone? The alien kid seems like a better actor than Seth Costello, who, though he is cute, is very bland. But hey, I guess that makes it easier to believe he's Jem's brother. If this Jasmine girl can't act, I will call the Costello's a major fail. I am really disliking all these exits and how they are written. It almost seems like check off system is being used. 1) Archie, check. 2) Newt, check ... Who's next? Oh, okay, um .... check!

The show has been pretty good this week. Of course, and maybe this is because of the drivel I've watched on the US soaps, all the episodes since I've started to watch have pleased me in one way or another. That Cain/Ryan scene was one of those things I didn't even think about as I was watching. That was a great way to tie the two stories together. It's so rare for Cain to have any sort of friend, so his relationship with Ryan is very intriguing to me. And Katie ... man, that bitch just stayed and stayed AND STAYED! This may be weird, but I also found it odd that she still refers to herself as a Sugden. How long ago did they divorce? If they squander more potential for Victoria to actually do something, I will be thoroughly pissed. Why does the show hate this character? As for Charnock, he can get a bit annoying at times, but when it comes to bringing the drama, he delivers. I thought he was great when I watched Tricia's death and the fight with Zak brought some good heartache into the episode. With all the hot men, why the hell doesn't this show do a calender? Hell, at least write in some sort of bachelor auction thingy.

I wonder what the next big story will be once Natasha and Maisie leave. The Wylde's have been such a huge part of 2009/2010, the lack of their presence will easily be felt if the show doesn't have another long reaching story like this to play out.

I don't know. She has one of those gum flashing Molly Burnett smiles that makes me want to bash her head in.
