Doug is a great actor. He used to come from Victoria Wood comedy but he's also decent at the dramatic work. They used him in somewhat odd stories before -- supposedly he almost quit over a story in 2008 where he got an STD -- but he's a good presence. I really like Layla too, I'm glad they kept her around. David is so gorgeous, I wish they did more with him.

Oh yes, David is super fine. He's always wearing those tight fitting shirts to show off his muscles and such ... :wub: How Layla would ever even be remotely attracted to a pathetic pratt like Nathan, when she's got that at home is :wacko: to me.

In other news, I have come to the conclusion that Nicola and Chastity are my favorites on this show. They always end up making me laugh with their witty/bitchy remarks.

Also, I LOVED the foreshadowing at the bon fire party with Nathan/Mark/Natasha dolls being burned. It got me all excited!

I think she was attracted to Nathan's wealth and influence. That and sometimes she doesn't seem sure of herself with David.

Nathan would probably be more appealing to gay men, especially with that fantastic arse. Too bad all the gay men have left the village. I'd love to have seen Paul Lambert flirting with a flustered Nathan.

Caulfield looks better without the wig.

Personally, I don't find Nathan attractive in the least. Obviously, you know I'm much more of a fan of James Sutton, but Danny Miller is pretty hot too. Please tell me, Miller is legal LOL

I also don't like Caulfield. The way he speaks and his stilted mannerisms piss the hell out of me. LOL He's probably the only actor on this show I don't like. Thank God, he'll be gone soon. :)

Danny is 19.

Nathan is attractive to me in that posh, stuck up way, smug and he knows it and you want to see him taken down a few pegs. He also has a nice smile and is a little bit debauched, like he'd probably know how to have fun. At least that's one side of him. The whiny bratty entitled act is annoying. Sometimes he's nice and he genuinely cares about his family, although that isn't very often.

The soap actors I tend to notice the most are the ones with great butts, and Emmerdale has quite a few of those.

Caulfield is awful but he's a perfect fit for the character.

I've been dropping in and out. I keep up with some stories and others I'm not as interested in and can wait to see. I did this with Corrie too although I'm finally all caught up on that (it helps when you can skip about 50% of the stories because you can't stand them). I do read far ahead, which I probably shouldn't, but I can't help it.

Did you get to see any of the older clips from before you started watching, any of Debbie/Jasmine, or when Laurel and Ashley lost their son?

The Andy story does seem like a long time ago. They took Andy very far over the edge. Sometimes I'm still surprised they managed to keep him around, although I guess it's a good thing they did, as he's one of the only Sugdens left. I wish they'd bring his father Billy back.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      Amanda Setton and Rena Sofer was once again really good in today's episode.  As a Lucky/Liz fan, I didn't like their scenes either.  And they are nowhere near a proposal because they haven't been given a real story.

      I don't think Lulu is written that badly.  Lucky they do seem to have no real interest in. I wonder if this is another story they have decided to wrap up abruptly as it makes zero sense to have what would have clearly been serious conflict between Liz and Lucky just get shrugged off by her. Maybe the intense viewer negativity toward Kristina got through to them.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Chris B · Posted

      This is what kills me about the complaints that the show is moving too slow. I don't think any of the other soaps has revealed as much as BTG has in the same time frame. Not only are stories moving but it's rotating as well. Y&R has been teasing that Dumas character since February with no reveal in sight. B&B was one day for the majority of May with very limited storylines. GH had a strong final week of May but the storylines had been dragging for months prior to that. I appreciate that BTG doesn't focus so much on recapping and keeps the stories moving. I have anticipation about certain ones like Martin and Anita's secrets but I'm not worried about it because the writers have proven they will keep these stories moving at a strong pace.

      John and Marlena's love story is over. 

      Please register in order to view this content

      As I started watching in 1993, and they became my favourite couple because of storylines like The Affair, Maison Blanche, The Possession, Aremid, and The Secret Room - just five straight years of amazing stories.  The funny thing is, in all of those stories, John and Marlena were never truly together, but I was fine with that because I knew how much they loved each other - Deidre and Drake just had so much chemistry and made it so believable.   Deidre was fantastic today, especially in that last scene where Marlena told John it was okay for him to rest now.  I agree with @j swift, that having a body for Marlena, and everyone else, to say goodbye to was the right choice, as well as just having Marlena there alone as John dies.   Marlena: John, I love you so…. John: I love you too, Doc. Marlena: I need you to listen to me.  You have put up the bravest fight I have ever seen. The thing is I….I know you’re weary, I know you’re suffering…..If you need to go, it’s okay. I know that you’re worried me, about the children….You have given us all the love we will ever need. We will always have you in our memories. We will always hold you in our hearts. So…it’s okay if you rest now. You can rest now.   Bo and Hope are my second favourite couple, so for them to be part of this episode made it even more special.  I loved the inclusion of Zack - in the flashback and in the family scene at the Brady Pub.  John dies and Bo wakes up.  Two great love stories intertwining and showcased (loved the flashbacks!) in today's very emotional episode.     Great recap @Bright Eyes

      Given the way both Lulu and Lucky are written I can guess.  Do Lulu and Lucky even speak?  Lol Liz is useful to prop one of Frank's pets when they are failing, I suppose. It's shame GH loves to do the opposite of what fans want.

      Lol. I understand. For me, it's just John and Marlena are the couple that introduced me to DAYS and Young Me had such a crush on him since I saw his attractive self at Maison Blanche. And whether I regularly viewed or not, I always tried to stay checked in to how they were doing. Also Drake always was a cool man in interviews so I know today's episode is going to hit where it hurts.   I know I will have to watch eventually. Work, life, and internet connection are setbacks without me stalling. And I can say that I'm stalling somewhat. At least...like GH episodes on my system...I have some time before they get deleted, but I'm going to be a sobbing mess.

      he’ll talk more as you continue your viewing  it’s such a jarring transition in ‘93 to Courtland Mead with his hammy sitcom delivery

      Frank does not care about them and resents having to write for at least one of them.
