They really outdone themselves with the 7900th Episode and the Heather/Marylin Drama in that castle. I loved that the old vets were used so heavily during this episodes again.

 

Im quiet surprised when I look at the cast. Normally most characters leave after 1-2-3–4 years but we have so many characters right now who have been in it for over 1000+ episodes. Thats a record for HAA to have so many long running characters in it lol

Emily Symons and the woman who plays Heather did a great job in this story. You felt for Heather sometimes in spite of her wicked ways. I am sorry they made Heather a psycho (although I guess now Marilyn has a story to swap with John and Irene). I wonder if they may reveal down the line that she wasn't actually the real Heather. 

Speaking of cast tenures,

I've seen a lot of fan criticism of the newcomers, but I like the band a lot more than most, it seems (I think Remi is turning into a very solid character and he and Eden are also played by strong actors - Kirby, who is just arm  candy for the lead singer, deserves better though). I think the actress who plays Bree is very good and helping to make her seem real. I like Xander a lot too, he's the cutest guy on the show to me, although I would buy him more as gay. Rose suffered a great deal with all the pining after Cash, but she works well in a more supportive role of late. She and Xander are also very believable as siblings.

I would love for a twist like this. 
 

Nikau got over Bella way too quickly in my opinion. The Nikau/Heather thing seemed quiet odd.

But the rumor about Ziggy/Dean would make me upset if they would really leave. But even if they do they would still be on air until 2023.

I didn’t heard anything about Tane leaving. That would be a shocker. I like him with Felicity 

I dont mind the newcomers tbh. I saw the hate this band gets and I’m confused. I saw the old episodes and people pretend like HAA was so much better and the characters but the band of Frank, Roo and Martin was much more hideous then Theo’s band.

Bree seems interesting and I can’t wait to see what they will do with her character. Remi has potential. He reminds me a bit of Liam from the late 2000’s and early 2010’s.

Rose has potential but its hard to care for her. But I do like Xander. I hope he will be used more properly soon.

It's genuinely lovely to see you find a soap to have positive feelings about. It almost makes me want to watch myself, but Hollyoaks is my necessary soap fix and that's enough for me. I hope when Dean leaves the show leaves the River Boys are left in the past once and for all.

Tane leaving would be sad, but that's because that man is a solid 10/10 hunk.

They seem to have chosen to leave the drama to the season premiere. I wonder why. The drama doesn't look fantastic anyway, but still, it would have been more of a finale.

Anyway, Back to the Bay put out their fan poll for all time favorite characters. This was the first year they opened up voting to people who were not forum members, which apparently led to some real shifts.

Nothing big was going on for the 35th anniversary coz the network stated; They don’t want to show Home and Aways age and stuff.

In other words they don’t give a damn about that show being 35 years on the air. As long as it gets good/solid ratings and makes some money it’s all good but don’t expect us to invest for an anniversary. Be thankful it’s still on!

I kinda see Neighbours low budget from the 2010’s up until 2022 in a different and more appreciating way now.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
