Bright Eyes

The clues given out online this week were hyped as revealing the next victim of the Gloved Hand Killer. Though not an exact telling, apparently the next victim will be

The Gloved Hand Clue:

The wonderful and fabulous Mamrie Hart on the Full House reunion ...

They should dig into history and bring back Bazz (HO's first gay character) for John Paul. The actor seemed fine when he on Corrie as Marcus' boyfriend Aiden and looked pretty good, too.

Yes, Doug and Leyla. Lord knows I've went on about how much I love their relationship. When the plans didn't work out, it felt like a loss. Regarding the Laurel scene as well, you always manage to bring up what I mean to when I watch, but somehow forget watching all the soaps in one sitting. Though that shouldn't be an excuse since I always leave Emmerdale (the best) for last. Nick Miles mentioning he loved Treme. Good to know he was one of the 4 people who were watching with me. I do like Amy Walsh and think she is talented, but Tracy is such an empty character and with Walsh saying her contract is up in the summer, who exit during the big story seems imminent. If she does die, I wonder if it will just be to add to the numbers of if they'll make it mean something, somehow.

This may be me seeing things that aren't there, but I loved how Rhona's eyes lit up when Cain approached her, unable to hide her real life love for him. Like David and Debbie, it always fascinates me when they're allowed to interact with each other, though always very rare and brief.

Charlotte Bellamy, thank you. The directors of the other soaps desperately need to study Emmerdale, with all the shots they constantly give us of their men sprawled out like a prize. Thank you. Kerry's reaction when Amelia told her she loved her was very touching. I am so, so happy that she's come so far. The girl that plays Amelia is a gem.

Which is what I think they'll go back towards (John Paul / Lockie), once Porsche finally gives him his walking papers.

I curse you, Carl! But alas, I'm guessing it's to kill granny off in the "BIG SUMMER STORY" leaving Cain's kid alone. Maybe we'll get a custody battle between him and Val/Eric?

It's always a pleasure to watch Dodger (in his true form) with his true love, Texas. They quickly became one of my all time favourite couples. One of the things that clinched my love for them is the show using Bright Eyes' (my namesake) music during their epic love story. And Texas's friendship with Doug and Leanne is the absolute last time this show truly felt like Hollyoaks, a found family. That Kirkwood killed them all revolts me.

I swear Sinead was likable during her first few years. As good as the story was, her character never recovered from bullying Esther. Kirkwood has made her rotgut.

http://tvnz.co.nz/shortland-street/garrett-s-growing-up-6306752 I will miss him terribly. One of my absolute favourites since I've been watching. I admit, I love so many of the characters on this show so don't ask me to do any sort of rankings. That would be impossible, but still, goodbye Dr. Garrett Whitley. It'll be interesting to see where they go with 'Tor' now.

PoS, you mentioned when the first four episodes were leaked that there was a scene you were very happy about as it was true to the books. Being spoiler free, I couldn't ask then, but since that time has passed I'm curious. What was the scene?

The son is a welcome addition. He's very pretty.

Adam Thomas was the best looking male of the night. Michael Parr needs to burn that tie. I have a severe aversion to all things animal print. There is never an excuse. Danny Miller's hair was something awful. It was nice to see Nico Mirallegro, but he is much better suited to the shaved head he was sporting for awhile. Also, why Kym Marsh? It tickles to think that she may have had some sort of run in with Charley Webb.

He's also been sexually harassing John Paul as "comedy." With Stephanie Davis re-signing for another year, his torture is sure to live on.

This horrible Scott is a disgusting pill. I wish they would have brought Spike back.

What were yours?

The Whitleys are seriously one of the best creations to come along in any soap in some time. I really love them, a lot.

Right now I'm watching I DREAM TOO MUCH (1935) starring Lily Pons and Henry Fonda. Not even twenty minutes in there was this exchange: Fonda: I would probably beat you. Pons: Of course, but I wouldn't care. And a f*cking real live seal has showed up. What is happening ... LoL

If she will be back, the speculation that she's Lola's mom could certainly be true.

Do you guys think it's possible that they brought in Jack's family because the Coopers are leaving/being written out?
