I started watching this soap Sunday.  I know.  I was looking at British Soap Opera openings, and I liked this shows opening.  I also was interested in British Soaps because of Mal Young taking over of Y&R.  Anyway I have now watched all of June's episodes, and currently working on the Ste/Harry relationship story.  Someone on youtube did an excellent job breaking everything down from the begining to now.  I am on Part 25.

 

Anyway I really like the show.  I have always watched my Y&R and B&B.  I find it hard to figure out everyone because I know the back story to everybody on those shows, but this one I am learning.  And there are so many characters!  I will figure it out!

I've been watching regularly every day again for a while now. I roll my eyes at times with how contrived and rushed some things are, and how things are forced and you clearly see the plot point for why coming a mile away, but it entertains the hell out of me. I really enjoy the show for the most part. A few years ago it was so incredibly dark and Patrick, Sienna (who I love now but come on, this bitch should not be walking around town like a regular citizen), Trevor, Sinead and Ste and other characters just worked my nerve. It's better balanced now. I like the cast.

 

I don't know why I don't post in this thread. But sometimes I fall behind. I use a livestream link to watch it live every day now when I can, and they do an omnibus on Sunday. Just gotta remember the time difference ...

Are you watching any other UK soaps at the moment?

 

Cruising Soaps - you may want to try the McDean clips from 2007. The story isn't really as good as it's sometimes made out to be, but there are so many wonderful characters on display. That era was a wonderful period for the show.

She's back briefly. Most of her story was last year. She (playing Reenie McQueen) was in a story about generations of abuse - her mother, Marlena McQueen, didn't believe her when she said Marlena's boyfriend sexually abused her. Years later, she didn't believe her daughter Porsche when Porsche said Reene's boyfriend, Pete, sexually abused her. He went on to sexually abuse her younger daughter, Cleo. He's awaiting trial. She's in prison for theft or something.

I still am curious if the return of Cindy's family is a good thing.

Reenie went after Pete and is in jail for that. Porsche was a child of rape as Reenie was raped by her mother's partner. This all was revealed after he died and left money to his daughter.

Loved the skydiving with Jade and Alfie :wub: love them. Tom needs to take a hike. He and Peri not getting much airtime pleases me because they're both so grating. I can go back to liking Tom if he stays away from Jade.

 

Damn at Grace's brother. Hello there :wub: lucky Maxine. LMAO at Sienna faking being her bestie now. Ready for the climax to Nico/Patrick. And I know she wasn't on today but lord Nico is a loon. I'm so ready for her to get hers. I still have to LOL at her being the one to take down Patrick and Trevor.

 

LOL at the camera capturing Marnie and Freddie. I don't get the show's obsession with Freddie but he's become a bit more tolerable and I don't mind him with Ellie or Marnie. But eh.

 

I like Cindy and Dirk together. I'm guessing her sister will cause some drama considering they are now free to be happy again, so in HO style, contrived drama will follow.

    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
    • I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.
