Thought I might as well start a thread on Shortland Street since there isn't one here already.

Nothing much on the news front though aside from the fact that Adam Rickitt is

leaving the show. His final airdate is August 2 and to mark the occasion his final episode will be 90 minute TV movie.

This year just has one devastating loss after another. He got a great exit though. Am I the only one feeling like TK could soon be gone too? This stuff with Trina (she's only 21 in real life! ), the introduction of sexy Hawks, and Tillie living elsewhere all make it look like his time on the show is coming to a close. 2016 has been ruthless in real and reel life.

I don't buy TK with Trina really seriously. Kylie wants him back for sure now she's off with Cam.

 

Mo/Kate/Chris could be a very good triangle with Blue, Harry and Jack reacting to it. Don't really care about Lucy's father who is a pain. Wish Lucy would at least try to listen to Ali.

Lucy's currently too busy undoing two years of character development to listen to Ali

How was KJ Apa on this show?

And I meant to say this awhile back, but the way TK found out about Josh and Roimata's affair was brilliant. One of the best affair reveals in a long time on a soap.

 

Hi Bright Eyes, am just getting into Shortland Street, please could you tell me how this affair reveal happened? Thanks. 

Lucy & Ali are the best part of the show at the moment, and Sass, what a fabulous addition. But I don't like her current pairing with the mayor candidate who's like 30 years older than her, I just don't see anything interesting happening there. Sass reminds me of Brooke, whom I hope returns eventually. I haven't seen enough of Frank yet and him marrying Kylie which if like me you missed a few weeks is just weird. I like the Warner family unit. Shame Harry is such a small part. I still wish Isaac would come back.
I'm glad Leanne returned. Esther, still hate her, she's so whiny which makes her out of place on a show with strong people.
Eve looks like Rachel, it's crazy. I'm inclined to think had Rachel not gone, she could have been her long-lost daughter or at least a relative. Not sure I like her story with Boyd though.

I"m excited about the returns for Nick and Waverly, but it's really a shame Rachel isn't around to be reunited with them on screen, especially Nick.

Are you watching any of the UK soaps these days?

I only have time to watch Shorty and Emmerdale, but I keep up with all of them.

Thanks. I'm enjoying Emmerdale more again lately (the Aaron/Rebecca/Robert story is the poorest but Robert being written in character and giving me some unintentional laughs helps) and I thought the Ashley final episodes and funeral were very well done. 

Watching today's episode I quickly thought that I had to come here to express how Drew and Harper are the best couple on all of soap, and then bam, she gets stabbed at the end of the episode! I will not be liable for my actions if she doesn't pull through. Harper is a glamazon!

25th Anniversary Promo: Great as always. The feature length episode is always a blast.

 

 

I guess KJ Apa won't be visiting

 

What were his storylines?

Holy crap did that earthquake happen out of nowhere. Awesome cliffhanger.
