I completely agree, and Kellie Bright and Shane Ritchie work so well together. There's a few reasons why I wish the show had had the nerve to definitively kill off Mick, but freeing up Linda for a new relationship is right up there!

This is so fascinating, thanks again @AMCOLTLLover

Thanks so much, @AMCOLTLLover! Appreciate it. So those first seven shows you listed are daily soaps? Wow, the genre must be be in good health over there.

Which soaps are currently on air in Germany, please?

It's great to hear that Neighbours is being watched in the US now! A while back I was wondering if Mischa Barton and some key cast members would be going over to North America to promote the show when it relaunched, but I guess the US writers' strike put paid to that thanks to talk shows going off air. I wonder, have any US based members seen advertising for Neighbours over there? Here in the UK there were posters on bus stops all across the country, and also some billboards, I believe. On another note, I think the four eps per week model is a smart choice. We all have so many distractions available to us now that it makes it easier for new/lapsed viewers to pick up the habit of watching the show, IMO.

That does sound positive, thanks so much!

Sorry, I don't understand what "there is someone who is addressing specific soap needs" means, can you elaborate?

Oh that's brilliant, thank you. There was so much to dissect, they really added loads of small details for the fans. Also - lucky Amy!

I'm about to watch the finale for the second time, and there was so much to take in, but I got the impression that Amy and Joel hooked up after crossing paths in Cairns. So when Toadie asks if she's pregnant she replies 'Ask me in two weeks' or something. I may be wrong, though. (I did see on Twitter that people are very taken with how the actor who plays Lance looks now). Also, thank you everybody for sharing your thoughts on the finale. They really did go out on a beautiful high.

BravoCon is back on later this year, hurrah! https://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/bravocon-2022-date-location-details Has anyone on here been before? Did you enjoy it?

Really disappointing that the gorgeous Harley Bonner is sabotaging his career over this. His mother Carla (ex-Steph, Neighbours) appears to be an anti-vaxxer. A real shame.

Is it wishful thinking to hope that Aaron never returns?

How interesting! I'll read the rest of the book with this in mind.

Thanks so much for sharing, that was really fascinating to watch. Victoria Wyndham and Susan Sullivan really pop off the screen, but I can see what Harding Lemay says about George Reinholt! I think Lemay comes across fine in the book - he's self aware enough to acknowledge that he neglected his family as he became completely absorbed by writing the show. When you read about how much thought and care went into writing Another World during that era it's even more tragic that so little of it remains available.

Such a shame. I'm currently reading Harding Lemay's 'Eight Years in Another World' and would have liked to watch some of his episodes.

Bryan Kirkwood is leaving Hollyoaks: https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/03/hollyoaks-boss-bryan-kirkwood-quits-after-12-years-13219945/amp/?ito=article.desktop.share.top.twitter&__twitter_impression=true

That's brilliant! Thank you.

Did she?! That passed me by - tell me more! 🍿

Fascinating BTS video of how Emmerdale has returned to production during COVID. (Contains Dingles for those who are allergic!). https://twitter.com/emmerdale/status/1276550619357118477

What an incredible interview, thank you for posting that, @SFK I live in the UK so I wasn't familiar with Ellen Holly, but I will watch the rest of those interviews with her.

Just wanted to echo everyone's thoughts about how lovely it was to see the cast rally around Heather, and also how much genuine camaraderie there is among them all. Melrose Place has always been one of my favourite shows, and it makes me so happy to see that the cast are such genuine people.

Thanks so much, @Dion! Kylie's storyline sounds completely insane, I love it.

Oh my goodness, @Dion thanks so much for that 2018 summary. An action-packed year in Ferndale!

Not yet, but am going to try getting back in to it, so if I struggle I might ask for help filling in the gaps. Thank you!

Is anybody on here still watching Shortland Street? Are you able to summarise the big plots from 2018 and 2019 so far, if so, please?
