    Soaps need to have anti-heroes. I don't know if you watched in the 90s, but back in the day Sheila was daytime's greatest villain. I agree that she is over-exposed and stupidly written... but I wanted to see her redeemed or just transformed into an interesting anti-hero of the 2024 day. What Bradley did was use her for cheap tricks and in the end he burned her in the microwave like he does with everyone else. 

    But Sheila has done far too many heinous things to ever be redeemed into an anti-hero. That's part of the problem soaps have with their charismatic villains. They take them too far before they realize that the character could be useful in the future.

  3. I'm sure no one will be surprised if the name ABBA is mentioned once or twice during this year's contest.....it being 50 years since "Waterloo".    ^_^

    But for me the big story of the year is the return of Luxembourg!!  image.gif 

    One of the original participants and the country that has given us Eurovision-classics like "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", "L'amour est bleu" and "Après toi"!   :wub:   I don't expect songs of that calibre again, but it's good to have them back.
