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.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....  
    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!
