Wow, they get so much time to write and rewrite their episode. No wonder they can have so many writers. So American soap writers write longer episodes with only like a week, sometimes even less, to write one or two episodes.

So Jacqui wanted Mercedes' baby, but she didn't know that Tony was the father? And that is why Jacqui was upset/shocked with Mercedes revealing that she slept with Tony? Were Tony/Jacqui together when Tony slept with Mercedes?

Glad you like the show, Rakesh.

So as the "Producer" does he produce the show in the sense of the EP does on American soaps? Or does he actually write the storylines making him a "Head Writer" (American soaps) while his storyliners or like Co-HWs? Why are there so many SWs though? Having like 15-20 is a lot!

When is that airing again? I hope she returns. Like you mentioned, Clare can mix it up with a lot of people. What about their writing. I notice that they have like 20 script writers - each writer writing about 1 episode a month. What's the writing team structure like?

Barry Sloane is leaving too? Damn! I guess I'll have to hope for his return someday, like Gemma Bissix. Who's going to be the baddie now? So they took six days to shoot Thurs and Friday's eps? That's pretty interesting. Hollyoaks' shooting style is like film right? And that's why they have like the same director for 5 straight episodes.

Youtube has tons of clips/episodes. If you know what torrents are, use that for higher quality. Here's a youtube channel for Niall's revenge: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=46527D58653DEB36

OMG!!! Thursday's and Friday's episodes were the best!!! But let start back with last Friday's episode when it was revealed Niall took the girls, and those notes were fake! Shocker #1 When Niall had all the McQueen women hostage, I kept on thinking, "It would've been perfect if he got John Paul too." And then Niall brings him in!! Shocker #2 Myra actually choosing Jacqui and Carmel! Shocker #3 Niall blowing up the church!!!! Shocker #4 Man that blast was spectacular! Tina is dead????!!!! Shocker #5 When she died in Dom's arms and Dom carrying her out out church, and then Myra saying, "we all made it .....we all made it," those scenes were so good and sad!!! I love the McQueen family. I didn't want anyone to die. But I'm glad Jacqui didn't die. She's my favorite McQueen sister. I loved her acting like the older sister, being the tough one, threatning Niall. And then not helping her own mom - awesomeness. Jacqui Niall's not dead! Shocker #6 That was an awesome ending with his reflection. I loved the the scenes when Niall and Myra when Myra was stuck. Barry Sloane is such a phenomenal actor. He was so good in Thurs/Fri's eps. Man, what a week!!! I hope HO gets a bunch of awards, or at least nominations, for these two episodes.

I Did It Again) - When I Found You (Britney) - Shadow (In The Zone) - Break the Ice (Blackout) So yeah, loved early Britney and a lot of them were songs by Max Martin.

LOL Yeah that's true. I'm a bigger fan of Britney's first two albums than her latest ones because I mostly like the entire album, while now, I only like a couple off her albums. If I name my top 10 Britney songs, I think all of them would be from her earliest albums.

Yeah, I noticed the changed too but I guess that just goes with what's "in" now. Either way, I love both his styles. I also like his pop "love" songs. LOL

I want to hear "Circus" because Max Martin worked on it (with Dr. Luke who I also like) and I love Britney's Max Martin songs! I'm glad she's working with him again and I hope she continues to.

Thanks, Alvin. I see that Khan also directed Britney's "Stronger" video - one of my favorites (those chair sequences and that costume!! ).

Here's the new video. Sexy Brit is back. The video reminds of "Toxic" video with all the fast pace, costumes and wigs. I wonder if it's the same director.

Yay! Steph went off on Niall and ended things with him!! But where are Steph and Tom going?

Sweet!! Thank you so much, Armello.

Where are you watching this?

Hmm......I'm going to guess the Niall revelation? (don't tell me) I love angry Jacqui and when she was about to punch Malachy. Yeah, they're great together and their family history makes them even more interesting.

I always laugh whenever I see Ellis. Such a cute kid. Onto this past week's episodes....it was a week of revelations...Mercedes finally knows and she beat the heck out of Malachy (which he so deserved! As if he slept with her again!)...and Newt found out about Jack. How cute was that Amy/Josh flashback to their "antlers kiss"!! When was that scene, like 3-4 years ago? Cindy was looking hot! So Holly kind of takes after her mother, eh. Like the way she teased Tom about Nial being his new father (and a couple weeks ago when Tom had to go to pee really badly and she stole the bathroom away from Tom ).

Of course I like Louise - she's the hottest woman on the show! I've been making edits of her on youtube. Clare I'm glad Russ stayed but does this mean Caroline's leaving for good? How old is Zak? And Michaela is around 16, 17? Cindy is great!! I'm liking her with Darren. Poor Dom. He's such a good guy. I felt bad for him when Tina booted him.

There were some good parts like the military guy ("Made of Honor" reunion with Patrick Dempsey). I just didn't feel like the main story with the 3 ladies, 3 men accident was that interesting. Though I did like the scene where Izzy tells the 30 second memory lapse woman that her husband will coming any minute.

Yeah, I got Shonda Rhimes' metaphors with the whole ranking thing and when the Chief addressed his staff saying how things are going to be different.

December 2nd.

Yeah, it's not that great. Her first single off her albums are usually good. I hope the rest of the album is good though.

Nothing special about the season premiere. This show has lost its spark.
