For me that's a good thing, as much as I loved both.

Fact is it was basically the Brendan Brady show.

Since they left imo it seems the rest of the cast are getting more equal screentimes.

Might stop characters being under developed.

I do wish they hadn't got another 'Jason' though as so many names they could've picked. Yet they got 1 who's been a main character so recently/

I found Brendan repulsive honestly...even when he was with Ste. Just the ultimate sketch old perv guy. Never will understand what people find attractive or intriguing about the character or the actor himself. He was definitely sucking all the air out of the show though....

Can someone please tell me whos really the father of Sinead's baby? I know that Rhys isn't but I cant seem to find any concrete info on who she actually slept with to conceive the child.....God I hope its not Tony....that would be a hot mess.

I wish that soaps didn't get such praise for social issue stories they don't care about following up. Esther's doing just wonderfully after her suicide attempt, and she's even great pals with Sinead, who gets far more story and is written as a much more central character, one viewers are supposed to have the reactions to. Esther herself is an afterthought.

For all the hype over this story showing the horrors of bullying, they don't seem to care about any aftermath.

Unless I missed a scene I'm pretty sure Sinaeds baby is Rhys's.

The Brendan lovefest from some viewers was abit strange. I've noticed it with a few gay characters no matter how awful they are or how dull they are. Some act like there the most amazing person to ever be in a Soap.

I did like Emmett as an actor but those who wanted him with Ste, NO,NO,NO! All he did was keep punching him urgh

Sinead's baby daddy is dearly departed Rhys.

As for those punches, SoapgirlUk, they were all punches of love. We just don't understand or get how "epic" Stendan's love for each other, and we should disregard how Brendan shouldn't have abused Ste for so long. It was all "epic", so it made the abuse "different".

I don't watch that much of Game of Thrones, not yet, but I was looking at a clip and I recognized Nathalie Emmanuel (Sasha Valentine) immediately. She never could act but she always had a presence. I'm not too surprised she's moved upward.

That's weird. And she and Roxanne had story together on Hollyoaks (I guess they didn't on GOT).

I watched the first season of Lip Service and Roxanne had a good role as a closeted TV star...I think she even had a spanking scene.

Poor Sinead....I'm guessing that scumbag raped her....just horrible.

I can honestly say that after Melanie and Lindsey on QaF.....Esther and Tilly is the first lesbian couple I've felt emotionally attached to. I just find them so endearing. Esther seems so sad and after all she's been thru with the bullying, etc i really hope she gets some happiness (at least for a while what with it being a soap and all).

Yeah. That's what I got from that scene as well. Especially the aftermath of Sinead, still in her outfit from the night before, the bruises on her face and shoulder. That guy, was determined to get more than just his money back from her.

The buildup for Esther and Tilly is very lovely and something that is nice to see on any soap these days. Esther, has been so lonely for so long, that she's rightfully hesitant about trying to pursue anything romantic, with someone that has hurt her (unintentionally in the past). While Tilly doesn't want to rush anything with Esther, but she feels that they have something that is worth taking a risk. Jen put her through through the ringer, in their affair, so it's great that Tilly's not sworn herself off letting herself be open for another chance at love.

    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
