not since the awful pre-olympic episodes. Home and Away has really fallen apart.

They did at one point have a very strong younger cast, with people that could actually act. The already mentioned Chris Egan, Bec Hewitt, Beau Brady, Tammin Sursok, Ben Unwin. Then we had the people who played Tom, Vinnie (True Blood's Jason Stackhouse), Shauna, Tasha, Robbie, Lucas, Kit, Scott, Drew, Rocco and Cassie who were also great. And the amazing Kimberley Cooper and her portryal of bad girl with the tortured soul, Gypsy Nash. The only young people worth watching were Belle and Aiden.

The show just hasnt been good since 2006.

I totally forgot about this thread. lol

Thanks for the clip, Drew. I'll have to take a look at it.

This show is alright I guess... Its kinda boring sometimes but they are storylines that makes you tune in. Like this Thursday, at the end, Martha went to get something and we saw when she opened her hands that they were hair on them. Her hair is falling off. :( I feel so bad for her.

Then on Friday, the doctor thought maybe this guy was beating his son and that is why she saw bruises on him. She later found out the kids has bone cancer.

Its getting good.

The one thing I cant get over lately is the cheesiness of the show and its stories. I guess its the best they can do, being forced to be rated G almost every day, only getting X number of PG episodes a year, the show's basically a tween soap. They seemed to handle this better in the past, characters and stories packed more of a punch.

Looks like H&A may do a lesiban storyline with Charlie and Joey

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...5006022,00.html

Shaking my head.

So it is ok for shows to have teenage pregnancie's, kid's hooked on drugs and selling them, alcoholism and not cause a stir, but the moment a gay storyline is put on the table then moral groups are up in arms.

Thanks for telling me about this storyline. I haven't watch H&A in years, but I'll definitely be watching this storyline. Charlie is pretty hot! And Joey's not bad either, so yeah, I'm down with this. How old are Charlie and Joey?

Part 1:

Part 2:

SnC, I shake my head to at the uproar. I really dislike "parent/conservative" groups.

Wait till you see Tony after he finds out that Angelo was the one that shot Jack

I watch H&A on and off, hate that Master Chef is on at the same time and since I can only watch one channel as my cable goes through my VCR I can't tape one and watch the other.

Here are some things that you may or may not have already seen so I have put them in spoiler tags.

    • 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.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
