I Am A Swede

Including Liz herself apparently.....

It was posted here in this thread too, on the previous page.

Someone tweeted this in regards to Robert's attempts to get rid of Billy. A more accurate description of him and Aaron would be hard to find.... "Robert the snake up to his old tricks to protect his grown husband Aaron whom everyone treats like an innocent child - though he isn't . This manipulation will backfire on Robert and Aaron, them they'll whine again." This person is my new hero. He/she apparently hates Debbie just as much as I do. https://twitter.com/lalavie444

That was a harrowing read. And you can't help wondering how many stories like these have gone unheard over the years. I'm sure this behaviour was just as common back during the Hollywood golden years, but back then it was likely even more swept under the rug. How many lives were ruined? Most of the victims probably remained nameless but I'm sure that if you look at some of the many Hollywood actors and actresses who succumbed to alcohol or drugs or suffered mental problems you'd find similar stories in their past. Apart from the obvious suspects like Marilyn Monroe or Judy Garland you have names like Gail Russell, Frances Farmer, Clara Bow, Diana Barrymore, Bobby Driscoll etc

I'm glad that he's alright, but sad that Zak and Lisa are coming back.... I haven't missed either of them one bit.

It's amazing how someone can be so clueless. Her statement is right up there with Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" (which she most likely never said anyway).

I'm so completely and utterly bored with the Nadal/Djokovic/Federer stranglehold on men's tennis. I wish all three would retire and maybe then tennis would be interesting again.

Unusually one of the nominees for Live Action Short film might be this year's most controversial nomination. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46964691 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46984472

Are we supposed to feel sorry for Cain? Because I'm not, not at all. Quite the opposite. It's impossible for me to muster any sympathy at all for Cain, or Graham or even Debbie. They're all unpleasant, unlikeable characters and they deserve everything they get. I do feel sorry for Noah though. He's the only real victim in this mess.

^^ Although I have to say that the fifth (and last series) was my least favourite. No Lady Marjorie, no Elizabeth and no Hazel.... Neither Georgina nor (especially) Virginia could really live up to their predecessors. But it was still head and shoulders above practically anything on tv today.....

Well, I guess that Joseph must be alive somehow, because I don't know how else they will be able to keep Cain, Graham or even Moira on the show now. Not that I would be sad to see any of them go of course, but I hardly think that they're leaving. Because if Debbie keeps quiet about this then she sinks to a new low, and heaven knows she starts from an already low position.

Why did they have this mini-story with Lachlan and his dad? It served absolutely no purpose!

^^ I find it absolutely astonishing that 37% actually think Trump is doing a good job!

It looks like we might finally get a new government here, 4 months (!) after the election was held. Over the weekend the Centre Party and the Liberals have expressed a willingness to support that the Social Democrats and the Green Party will continue to rule like they did before the election. They feel that the negotiations between these four parties have gotten them the result they wanted. It's not all done and dusted though. The four parties involved don't control a majority in our parliament, and since the Moderate Party, the Christian Democrats and the Sweden Democrats will vote against them they need the Left Party to either support the agreement or abstain from voting. And this is a major hurdle. The agreement contains elements that goes against everything the Left Party stands for, so the question is whether they will go against their principles or if they feel that it is worth taking the risk of a new election. They themselves would probably stand to gain from a new election, but the fear is that the Sweden Democrats would also gain from it.

This whole thing with Lachlan is ridiculous! He's a teenage boy, not some seasoned criminal. When did he get the connections to be able to smuggle in a cell phone in prison and arrange for someone to terrorize Belle on the outside? It's hard to imagine now that once upon a time this show was actually realistic!
