At least he hasn't raped anyone out of love yet, so that's something.

I saw a comment saying that Ste is wearing some cross or there's a cross background in his opening credits shot. I guess that's to remind viewers - if it wasn't already 99.9999% obvious - that Ste exists solely as Brendan's property.

What does the wearing a cross represent for Ste being Brendan's property?! It sounds like one of those fangirl things that only makes sense in that fandom, so that they're convienced things are going their way. Like when Brian gave Justin a DRAWER in his apartment (on QAF US). It meant that Brian had also given Justin his heart. Or, when on ATWT, Noah will be so damn judgemental towards Luke, whenever he did something "bad" in order to help himself or others with something they wanted. Yet, it's okay for Luke to do things to benefit Noah.

If Hollyoaks just aired the Mercedes / Silas serial killer story then I'd totally be watching it right now. If they kill her off I'll be effing pissed though. She's always been my favourite McQueen. And since Amy looks to be a target / red herring this week, same goes for her too.

Also, Karen Hassan needs to commended. She's been doing great work from the beginning of this story.

I agree Karen Hassan really has been amazing and a driving force through this stroyline I just so can't wait to see where it's going to go over the next coupld of months as you can feel that's it's all starting to come to a head and leading towards some climax smile.png

OK, I did what a lot of people have done, and tuned into the show for the Silas story. There seemed to be enough buzz around it, that I decided to check it out for myself - and it's actually pretty awesome. I haven't watched the show properly for about 6 months during the whole Tony/Mandy relationship back in 2004/2005(? (domestic violence/Grace's death/Toby Mills...)), so I was quite surprised to see how good this story actually is. Karen Hassan and Jeff Rawle have been awesome, and without that level of acting, the story may not have been as good.

But, the rest of the show isn't that interesting at all. The new Freshers suck; they're pretty boring, and represent one of the things that annoys me about this show: they have a lot of scenes that consist of dialogue that means nothing; the Gaz/blonde girl/Liverpudlian chick/ and the kid named after Bart Simpson are boring and annoying, and even though I like some of the other characters there doesn't seem to be much left after Silas to keep me watching. And I wonder how many of the viewers the show has gained feel the same? Like all big storylines on a low rated soap, they only seem to profit on the short term, but never in the long term.

I've always wanted to know this: why does the show only film with one camera? They seemed to have always filmed like this, but I wonder why they don't upgrade to 2 cameras, saving them time and money and allowing them to use the cast better?

    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
