Haven’t posted Something in here for a while but there is nothing to say about it lol

This Show is just THERE! It’s good it’s still around and I’m catching an Episode here and there and I would be heartbroken if it was canceled by Tomorrow but the storylines? Phew. Are there actual any? I mean it feels Like they make them up on the spot. What even is this Libby-Chris-Rachel nonsense?

Vi seems Like he got a whole new persona

Emmet is gone :(

And what else? I can’t Even name the other Stories cause it’s noth even worth mentioning it

The show is better to me than it was over the past two years, but I do think they are just marking time. I am especially put off by the whole Esther/Nazar/Marty/Monique story. And by the new angry lesbian character who immediately tried to bed Maeve.

I'm glad to see Boyd again though.

I think they are mostly having Chris and Rachel so they can be together if the show is canceled. The story isn't bad, but it should have picked up by now.

Libby is basically a dizzier Monique.

They have taken Viliami too far into an incel role without enough justification.

I saw on Ben Barrington's instagram that he has left the show and it made me feel nostalgic. Other than Chris and a recently returned Rachel, there's almost no one left from when I enjoyed watching the show for a few years starting in 2012. There is Esther, but I was never a huge fan, and I have to imagine with the way long-timers have been written out pretty consistently year after year, that her time is coming sooner than later. It's sad to think my era is truly over, but I'll always cherish that little chunk of time I had with the show that feels so special to me. Here's a toast to all my favourites: Chris, Rachel, Beth!, TK, Nicole, Vinnie, Daniel, Kylie, the triplets!, Drew, Harper, Garett, Curtis, Ali, Lucy, Cam, Vasa, Ula, and Dallas. I always had a soft spot for Phoenix too and was disheartened to learn they had killed him off. I struggled immensely with Sarah as she felt like the biggest Mary Sue, but my jaw was on the floor with her death. I have never been so shocked in my entire soap watching life, and it shocked me even more by how devastating her death was. That whole virus storyline was fantastic. Pixie's death was heartbreaking as well. Josh Gallagher's hero syndrome is one of my all time favourite soap opera storylines that I was lucky enough to watch in real time. And hey, whether you're a fan or not, I'll always think it's pretty cool that this show introduced me and the world to KJ Apa. Everytime I see him I have to smile because it's an instant little reminder of the great memories I have watching this show.

Shout out to the scene where Kylie took Nicole with her to see her doctor when she feared she was sick, but it turned out she had chlamydia. The look on Nicole's face was hysterical and priceless. I've never forgotten it. Sally Martin was always outstanding at a reaction shot.

And another honourable mention to when Rachel told Sarah she couldn't run a corner shop let alone a hospital. Rachel was in distress at the time, but I was cheering her on with every word.
