ALL: Soap Opera Background Music Thread
I haven't heard his piano pieces, his notes, in such a long while - there's been a lot of sad scenes this past week, a perfect time to play his music, but there was nothing. I wonder if he's gone. QUOTE (Donna B @ Aug 23 2008, 11:28 PM) When did his career outside of daytime take off? After he left DAYS.

What about "slapper"? Max/Steph's wedding was my first official episode of Hollyoaks what I watched. The little boy is Tom Cunningham who is played by Ellis Hollins. He's a cute kid an a great young actor. Here are some clips of him. He's awesome and makes me laugh whenever I see him.

I'm shocked that Darren confessed to Malachy and Kris. I guess he's really feeling guilty and that's why he went to the police station (?). I'm glad Kris decked Darren. He deserved it. And went off on Mercedes too, calling her a "slag" (does that mean slut, or is that "slapper"...I love that word. ). I love tough Jacqui. The McQueen girls rock. I wish there was a family like them on American soaps. Ohh....so Jacqui knew Russ was the father? Can't wait for that to come out! I hope Tony and Russ give her hell for keeping that secret.

Seth Myers is Head Writer. I think there's a co-HW but I forget their name. Other than the opening and Weekend update, last night's skits were terrible.

Yeah, that's pretty amazing. It's too bad American soaps can't do the same thing.

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?

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.

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.
