I haven't been watching tbh, seen bits and bobs but it hasn't really attracted my attention. I'll likely watch the last week or so before the show returns in February.

That's nice to hear. I'm glad you have a chance to see them. Just a warning though, episodes 135 and 136 and the following few weeks may be a bit of a hard watch. I won't say why, though its possible you already know or could guess.

Yeah I kinda know what u mean. It’s tough but I love it. I hope for more seasons. 
Nick Harrison’s actor is even commenting under those videos lol That’s hilarious. He even replied to me.

i am reading the Nick’s story book and I kinda forgot what close friends he and Rachel were.

Stella vs Harry was the best acted scene in years on Shorty! And now it’s Chris vs Stella.

There are rumors that short might come to an end and it would break my heart

but funny that all of Chris kids are screw ups:

Harry - Fraudster (potential murderer.. But I bet there is a twist coming)

Phoenix - Embezzler

Sass - Murderer

Frank - Drug Dealer

Finn - Wife Beater

Gosh the last few weeks were so good and made me feel so sorry for Chris! I really hope this show won’t get cancelled

This is trippy.. With Shorty being uploaded from the first episode they searched for the baby that appeared in the first episode LOL They actually tracked her down in England. That’s wild

The story about the budget cuts at TVNZ do make me wonder. I also wonder if this is why Chris is gone, along with TK last year. More of the show is focusing on new (and in some cases very bland) characters. I am happy Boyd is back, he's one of my favorite characters, but I'm worried he is back to be killed off.

But Chris will be back and they posted a picture of him. I was surprised that so many thought Chris would leave like this. I knew he won’t leave right now. But those budget cuts make me very nervous. I like Boyd being back too and Marty became much more calmer and relaxed with Boyd and him working together

Im a bit behind.. I’m still in April..

The pacing of the show is hit and miss. Sometimes it’s so all over the place but I’m still invested.

Maeve vs Emmett is definitely one of the better storylines tbh

I hope Logan returns. He was so funny and charming and I liked him with Monique

Im so happy to have Boyd actively back in the show but I’m upset his happy ending got screwed for that.

I am enjoying some of the stories, but I don't really know about as of late - Maeve/Thaddeus is reminiscent of some of the bad comedy they used to give Damo and also clearly filler until she reunites with Viliami (again...), and Phil/Ihaia are so dull and incredibly unpleasant. Most of the strongest stories, aside from Chris' breakdown, feel like they have been wrapped up. Boyd's story in particular felt incomplete to me. I feel like the show swings from being extremely dark (so many characters have lost children in just a few years) to empty, not much in between.

    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.

    • What can I say?  I did my best.
    • Thank you for sharing. I guess Nancy was catatonic most of her time on the show, so I guess the gasps make sense, lol. I had heard Cathy and Dick DeCoit were supposed to be on the show longer, but Trish Stewart leaving changed all that.
    • @Rmodelboy Thanks for posting that On-set pic of June. She looks great, you just might be right about her being Hayley sibling.
