Isn't that just Anna's imagination though and Britt honestly didn't know?

Heck, they're the exact same relation as Jimmy-Lee and Celia.

Not the best quality, but the Jesse and Laura scene after Laura's rape begins at 7:00

Only endless repeats of The Big Bang Theory, Friends or The Simpsons lol

I think I've said it before, but Mike Horton really should have been busy pumping out little Horton babies all throughout the 80s and 90s instead of only having one child. Ideally at least five to match Tom and Alice.

I kinda feel that they're Spoiler

Spoiler Last year was a bit of an aberration as she remained for the re-election storyline.

It's not a single tournament, it's a whole corporate league so could go on for 2 - 3 months.

The only reason that would remotely make any amount of sense is if Jax is trying to get her to leave the WSB

Shortland Street has officially been renewed for 2027 and will now air 4 nights a week, an increase over the current 3. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17G9Vgzosf/

I think they've had it since at least 2021, but I can't remember if they ever went outdoors to this extent. Most of the softball scenes I remember are indoor post-match scenes such as characters arriving at Kelly's (Bobbie's) or last year when Sonny took ADA Turner to the hospital after she sprained her ankle or something, or Sam and Dante waaay back in 2021 when they were falling in love. And it's not just GH versus PCPD either, it's a whole league. ELQ, Aurora Media, Corinthos Coffee and others all have teams too, so there could be another few games coming over the next few weeks.

Been watching bits and bobs of the 1992 episodes that have been uploaded lately and it really does stick out how odd it was to cast two similarly looking men (George Spartels and ian Rawlings) to play Benito Alessi and (recast) Phillip Martin, who arrived barely a week apart (Phil in Episode 1726 and Benito in episode 1732) and competed over the same job at Lassiters. Of course Spartels' Benito only lasted less than a year, while Rawlings went on to do a 7 year stint as Phil that was at the time one of Neighbours' longest (Tied with Rebecca Ritters and beaten only by Anne Haddy, Alan Dale, Tom Oliver and Stefan Dennis' consecutive stints and additionally beaten by Anne Charleston and Ian Smith in totality).

Ben Barrington confirmed he was axed from Shortland Street, and due to the way the show is now filmed, he didn't know that his last day (that is, last years season finale) was his last day as the decision was made during the production break. And then someone realized they couldn't just have him disappear from the show so he got invited back to do a guest stint to write him out. As an aside, I like that Suzanne Paul, NZ's favourite infomercial queen for the past 3 decades, sounds somewhat appalled by Ben's treatment. As are a lot of the commenters. https://www.tiktok.com/@iheartradionewzealand/video/7657729553099443463?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7658041009334388240 Also it appears last night was Monique's exit: https://www.instagram.com/p/DaR1uZ-kX2L/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

John Oliver's greatest triumph would surely have to be getting the pūteketeke voted in as New Zealand's Bird of the Century back in 2023 (and I can;t believe I only just realized that the whole gag was a subtle allusion to foreign interference in elections) https://youtu.be/uVE1hBzHn3s?si=rQMfV2VR1O4teVho

As an aside, that's the episode that got temporarily banned in the UK, all because Data said that Northern Ireland reunified with Ireland in the year...2024! In terms of stories being about the characters rather than happening to the characters I feel that Drew's foray into politics and affair with Willow has probably been the most successful in recent years because he developed into a total [!@#$%^&*] lol. I mean its a bit clunky sure but it worked for the most part. Unfortunately, Drew's been laid up for so long its now become quite detrimental.
