Lots of departures lately: Leanne, Rachel, soon Bella. I also love Harper. Shortland Street has strong women and it has become so rare in US soaps. It's refreshing. I like the Cam / Kylie / Jack dynamic. Wish they would be featured a bit more lately. Ali / Lucy are cute but a bit boring.

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 & 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.

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!

      Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?

      BITD I was posting about how interesting it was that Denise had been with this same guy for simply years but they just did not marry - then that year they married!

      Random takes from this week: - Bill’s been played way too soft by the actor. I just can’t buy him doing anything truly sinister. I wish he had more of that old-school Victor Newman edge. - On characterization: I’m fine with Leslie being shown as a narcissistic and cruel mother—as long as she doesn’t tip into full cartoon villain territory. Dani’s involvement in Nicole’s storyline feels natural to me, and I really like that Martín is such a hothead, which totally clashes with his polished political career. No wonder no one wants to confide in him. Also, I don’t mind Haley’s characterization at all. - I’m still annoyed they dropped the whole lawsuit storyline. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant about getting too invested in the June plot. Also: I can do without another instant-sibling storyline. - Ashley and Derek? Totally fine with them in small doses. That’s the best way to handle those two. - Thank God Ted is getting recast. I honestly couldn’t handle that constant swaying much longer. - Speaking of Ted: maybe I’m in the minority here, but that hotel set is hideous. The oversized boiserie makes everything look flat, and that artwork on the wall? Bland, ugly, and lifeless. - I’m 50/50 on the product placement. On one hand, it’s totally misplaced and campy—especially when it shows up in the middle of emotional scenes. It just feels wrong. But on the other hand… here we are talking about Febreze and Tide. So maybe it is working? I honestly don’t know. - I don’t have any issues with the fashion on the show overall, but André’s wardrobe is just off. Not in terms of style, but size. His tops are way too tight and actually make him look even shorter than he is. Same goes for Smitty. Both of them would seriously benefit from some larger blazers or chunkier sweaters.
