While I was excited for the first week or so, I quickly grew a bit bored and haven't watched for over a month now.

This past week - in reference to the Brightshine couple and their pregnant surrogate cleaner - I've been continually saying "What in the Handmaids Tale is this" lol

A Little Shorty revamp!

6 new characters and one of them is Chris son Harry but with a new actor.

every Monday is like some long week sub-plot with weird random characters lol

and we lost two oldies: Dawn and Jack left Shortland Street!

I doubt Dawn is gone, as she left her dog behind. Jack I would not be surprised by as it's obvious the show has no use for him, but if that was his exit, it's a shockingly terrible one. 

Someone please travel to Ferndale and put guards around to stop Dawn or Esther from ever returning.

I love Esther and Dawn tbh. Even though I hated Dawn at times she is so cute. 
I do think if that’s Jack‘s real Exit it’s quite upsetting. Dawn tagging along on a self Discovery. Key word being self

i love some oldies on Shorty. To lose them is always so hard. Dawn has been on for like 5-6 years by now.

Esther didn’t bothered me as much as others. 

Someone on a shorty vid replied to me that Shorty is doing bad in keeping oldies on for way too long and thought that Donna Heka‘s 7 year long run was too ridiculously long. I loved Donna back then and didn’t thought she felt exhausted as a character. 

i still wish they would finally bring back Nick and Waverly for good. Chris needs a friend like Nick again. I mean they trying it with Tk and with Drew but it doesn’t feel the same lol 

only oldie I’m exhausted from is Harper but I still don’t want her gone

I will give Shorty Credit for being a bit more experimental over the last couple of seasons and especially since COVID.. BUT this whole last week where we had like 3 times the same episode just with someone else’s view was just wack. Like seriously wack.

And they didn't even have an episode from Milo's POV to tie it together a bit more.

But yeah, really unnecessary and done much better last years when Jojo died.

Not sure if you've seen it yet but...

The show has improved a bit from where it was earlier this year, but still feels very lost to me. I don't mind the Harry recast (I don't go far back enough to know the other Harry) but bringing in six new registrars only for most of them to be unlikeable, forgettable, and/or cannon fodder feels like a waste, especially when you have extremely played out characters like Dawn and Esther still central in story. Dawn is regularly involved in the worst stories on the show.

Anyone knows if there are Scenes with The Original Justine Available anywhere??? I saw some of the Actress on Home and Away and I Am Super Curious!

Most of the episodes from 2004 - around 2009 were uploaded on Youtube about a decade ago once they had screened in Ireland.

The episodes don't have airdates though but rather episode numbers so you will have to go trawling through the video list I'm afraid.

Laurie Foell's first guest stint in 2005 would be somewhere in the 3300s while her second stint the following year as a regular would've started somewhere in the 3500s. Her last appearance was in the 2006 season finale which I believe was episode 3645 so it may be best to search "Shortland Street episode 3645" and work backwards from there.

Good luck!

I feel exhausted by TK.. I’m one of the smaller group of people that loves long time cast member on revolving soaps that changes their cast heavily. But TK has been dead weight for ages. I kinda wished he would’ve just died. He is really phoning it in.

    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his latest scheme. At which point I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?
