Members Bright Eyes Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 Sh*t just got real with today's episode. And on a superficial note, Shortland Street easily has the hottest guys of any soap on the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Just started watching. I picked the week of Angel's arrival, like Bright Eyes, so yeah, I'm two months behind but I'll catch up. I like to give myself room, so to speak, between past and more current episodes. Anyway, reading this thread helped me better understand what's going on but it seems easy enough to get into. I already like the Bree/Brooke/Annette storyline. I like Chris, would have liked to have seen his story that lead him to this point. I guess I can. He's the only original cast member who's stuck around, right? Is who he with Rachel, right? Reddish/brown hair? I like her too. They both seem interesting. I like the show so far. It being a half hour (well 20-22 minutes) is great. How is the pacing on the show? I feel like the soaps abroad always use more characters in episodes and the overall 'flow' is better, not so disjointed and some actual thought and length are put in some scenes (well, I haven't noticed too many long scenes in Shortland Street but it's a half hour, I kinda expect it) Edited October 20, 2012 by KMan101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted November 5, 2012 Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 Rachel is one of the legends of Shortland Street. She used to be such a devious bitch. She's arguably the most popular character in the show's history. And like Rachel, Chris didn't stick around from the character's inception. Both have had long breaks from the show. Regarding pacing, the show moves swiftly. If they would just get rid of Jasmine, Angel and Ula, I'd be a much happier camper. And though I very much enjoy the show, I do find myself thinking that if it was written by the EastEnders team it would be so much better, individual episode wise. Case in point, Friday's episode, which I won't spoil for you. Where are you in watching now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 This sexual assault story has made the show feel like much more of an ensemble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I hope it turns out that Angel has been using Jasmine and has had secret affairs with numerous girls, infecting Jasmine with AIDS, resulting in her death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Great reveal today of Roimata's attacker! And tying Josh's feeling for Roimata back to his relationship with Paige was smart. I really love this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I don't watch it too often but I enjoy hearing what you have to say. Since I have no real history with the show I don't have to punctuate your comments with any bitter rantings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thank you. You should watch the finale for the beautiful outdoor scenery they did with the wedding alone. I do wonder what longtime fans think of Zac now being a rapist since he had earlier stints on the show before he returned this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted January 14, 2013 Members Share Posted January 14, 2013 Thank God this show is finally back! Shorty Street has been truly missed! I can't wait for Zac to get his comeuppance, but love that TK was arrested at the end of the episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
