On the one hand it's a shame they went the cliche psycho route with Pierce, but the control aspects of the story and the acting is keeping me interested. I just wish it wasn't going to be all about Paddy in the end. 

 

Finn saying "it's just a matter of time" made me uneasy to say the last. Yes it's Emma all over again. I just wish they could have let the character be happy. He and Kasim could have had potential, and the hooker, Nathan, was gorgeous. I don't know if they still plan to have him back with Kasim but he's going to have to change a lot (Finn). I thought Joe Gill acted the scenes well but I wish the story was not so weird. 

 

The stuff about Charity and Bob cracked me up. 

 

Nicola Wheeler is such an underrated actress.

Nicola Wheeler is very underrated. I hope this reveal with Rakesh leads to something larger. 

 

Now you know that gay characters on soaps can't be happy. They have to be miserable. Every. Single. Last. One. 

 

The Bob and Charity stuff had me cracking up too as they'd be such an odd, unexpected pairing. 

 

The Pierce story is just too painful for me. I can't get over them making this fine, strapping man into a rapist. He wouldn't have to force me down b/c I'd willingly lie down each time.

Jesus! Finn is truly becoming his mother each day. I do find it sad that Kasim's family won't accept him for who he is though. However, Finn needs to learn boundaries. His desperation to have Kasim is cringeworthy. I just hope he doesn't go pushing Kasim off a bridge in the future like his mother.

Kudos to Nicola sacking Kerry's stank ass. Ugh! I am so glad that Nicola did what Rishi or Jai couldn't. Finally! Someone who has balls is in the factory.

I knew that's what this would be about.  Yes, same old Debbie stories. The Charity comedy bits and the brief return of that crazy comedy lady who seems to have popped in from Corrie made it better for me. 

 

I will always have a soft spot for Debbie but they haven't gotten the character right in a long time. 

 

I just hope if we're going toward Debbie/Ross again it's not as awful this time around.

And the Ashley special episode. 

 

I had just assumed it, especially after the crash, so it's a nice surprise. I haven't seen it but someone said the Corrie cast didn't seem too thrilled. If so that makes it even better knowing how that cast operates...

Wow. Really? What is going on tonight? Someone who runs the official HollyOaks Twitter account declared they were robbed.

Why can't people be happy for ED? They are always a gracious cast when they've lost for decades. Just tacky. 

 

What did Corrie even submit? I hope it wasn't those episodes when Calum's body was found b/c they were horrible. Or was it the episodes where Anna got caught on fire? Those were not that impressive either. 

 

 

She was boring during that period (to me) also. I've just never cared for Debbie. I hate that once she's come back, Ross gets sucked back in her orbit again.

    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed.     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Hooray! Maxim's back
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • My bad….ill fix that  Fixed 
    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.
