I watched some of the John Paul/Ste stuff and it doesn't even begin to feel like a romantic relationship. I guess that's the point? John Paul told Lockie that they were carers for each other. I guess Kirkwood just wanted to have a big gay wedding and now he can move on?

Kieron's performances are pure camp. I will praise him for giving all his effort, but some of it, like when he tried to stab people with a broken piece of flowerpot, was just awful.

(speaking of awful - seeing Youtube comments about how Ste is broken without Brendan because Brendan kept him "safe and alive")

I don't know if he's planning JP/Lockie. I assume he is. They have good chemistry, but it will be so forced if it's just another affair.

Lockie's a lot of fun. He's also extremely hot. I hope they keep him fun and light and plotting instead of turning him into a psycho or making him too depressing, like they did with Darren.

They should have had Lockie sleep with both JP and Ste. Have a threeway relationship between them.

He also had good chemistry with Ste.

I'm glad you said all that re Lockie because I've been thinking it from the very moment I saw him onscreen. He's definitely given a new jolt of energy to the show. And it's funny but I can totally buy his relationship with Porsche and at the same time I'm blown away by the chemistry he's exhibited with John Paul and Ste.

John Paul is already the slut of Hollyoaks so they might as well make him the one who slips and has the affair. I'm so over the character but I do like that Lockie calls him out on how utterly stiff and boring he is.

I cannot believe Rick is dead

The Peri/Cameron scenes were so touching/heartbreaking and God that little girl was about to have me sobbing when stupid Leila just came out of nowhere and took her back..

Ziggy has effectively become as loathed as Freddy is. First it was what's her face who OD'ed and then left the show. Then Leila. Then Teagan. Countless girls inbetween. I'm so over this guy.

In random news: James McKenzie Robinson (Joe Johnson) will guest on season 5 of Game of Thrones. Going by his IMDb, this will be his return to TV after a handful of years. Joe Johnson was the long lost son of Jill Patrick (Jack's second wife, who died from a brain tumour). He was only on briefly in a story where he and his twin sister, Kate Patrick, eventually fell in love and knowing they obviously couldn't be together left town separately.

That's one of those stories I always want to see more of (I'd like to see more of the Patrick family, as they were all close to Jack before being written out - now he's mostly just known for marriage to that shrew Frankie).

I guess the GoT/HO lovefest continues.

Bon voyage Dodger Savage! You were one of the last big hit characters this show introduced. You and Texas were one of the best couples in modern soap history. But then you had to get stuck in a chemistry-less pairing with Maxine and story that never, ever ended. no matter how many people got blown up and kidnapped. I'll always have fond memories of you, but I won't miss you for a good while. It was time and now I hope Theresa, Maxine and Sienna will be free to do something fresh and interesting. With Patrick still around, I won't hold my breath for the latter two, but Theresa has a more solid shot. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    • Introducing Genoa City's hottest story in Daytime: April and May are going to be a LONG edit lol. If there's enough demand I'll compile "Abbott Communications" as well.

    • Greg and Paige were an interesting choice for a couple.  I do think the lack of focusing on the generational differences hindered their long term potential. I think Laura had learned to keep her feelings close to her vest, especially after the hell she went through in her early years on the show.  The last scene of her trying to keep her tears inside as she drove away was the first time we had seen Laura really express what she was feeling after two or three seasons of her keeping her true self hidden from everyone.. even Greg.
    • I guess my hunch may be right about her. I'm still very split about it. My husband thinks she is a joke, doesn't like her acting and thinks she is over the top. At the beginning I liked her a lot... And I definitely don't agree with my husband about her acting... But still something just puts me off when Felicia is on screen. It's like they are pushing her to be this grand dame too much. It doesn't come off natural, but very staged and superficial. Wearing a head piece and a gown doesn't make you suddenly be that. In most cases it makes people look foolish... when they are still wearing a huge hat while sitting in someone's ugly kitchen talking about stuff. To me... the actress and character shine the most when she seems down to earth and talking through something troubling. When the fluff and glitz is less and the REAL is more. When they act like she is Joan Crawford that's when I start wondering what is going on. She isn't. And some of the wardrobe choices for her have been horrific.  Of course all of these impressions are personal ones and I don't claim to know what the character will become in the future or what it was when she started.  I'm only saying my natural response to her now.   Then I'll blame him too! Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to respond so late but that's the first time I'm reading these comments.   More like criticism to the show and the way they are portraying her. I still like the actress a lot.
    • Mid 1979 to mid 1981 was A+ quality for the show.   I even found things to like about the show in the final year or so when the quality had somewhat declined.
    • From what I heard, the actress playing Leslie opted to leave so instead of recasting again.. they killed her off.   Holly brought it on herself by lying and pretending Christina was Ed's child.  Although I do think that Rita's actions with withholding that message from Ed weighed upon her.   Even though she won Ed in 1976, she realized over time that she never truly had him. There was no Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.  Tim and Evie dated after Rita broke up with him (which happened before Evie and her mother came to Springfield).  Ironically Tim did to Evie what Rita previously did to him... leading someone on that you're not interested in.
    • I mean, he is but he's also still an ásshole.
    • The most beautiful thing about getting into a new soap opera is getting to know the characters yourself and figuring everything out slowly. And EON is one of the easiest when it comes to that. Pretty soon you are so well oriented in who is who and what are their motivations. I only struggled with the episodes before Mansion of the damned started.  Then after that it's pretty smooth sailing.    
    • I don't hate Hayley but she would absolutely cry about falling for Jacob.
    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
