I'm so biased in liking Tristan Rogers that I couldn't "tell" if he was good or not. However, I couldn't tear my eyes away from him the whole episode. The first 3/4 of the show, he barely had any dialogue, he was completely shell-shocked. I liked the way he played it with Murphy when Murph offered him a shirt and sweater to change out of his bloodstained clothes. Colin refused the shirt (he wanted to keep the bloodstained one on) but threw a sweater over it so that Jill wouldn't be upset at seeing it. I felt that this was a hint that Colin actually does care about Jill and her feelings. TR did not overdo that scene at all. Interesting that at this moment, when Colin has lost everything, that he continues to offer Jill support and comfort. I'm thinking of the scene where he is lying down, holding Jill, and she is talking about her grief. TR played that so well, he didn't say a word, but everything Jill said about Cane being "her son" was reflected all over his face.

As for the morgue scene, TR kept the ranting reined in as much as he could, given that it was a scene written for Billy Miller-style histrionics. The way he hugged the body, too, was surprsingly moving. And when Lily and Neil walked in and he had to pull himself together in one second... yeah, I guess Tristan Rogers can do no wrong in my eyes. :lol:

I cannot believe that Jess Walton...

1) still shows up on set to be dressed in horrible wardrobe

2) to be thrown in insta-stories likely to be dropped

3) and most importantly that she was able to play that mourning Cane-scene with full fronted cleavage on Thursday!?

Let's all rejoice and pray that CANE IS DEAD and Daniel Goddard won't return in Maria's jack of all trade's fashion in two weeks time because Cane pretended to be dead 'cause he pretended to be Asutralian when he was - gasp - actually from New Zealand...

@ Cat: Not only is NuMalcolm useless; Darius was HORRIBLE this week. Not awful to Eden Beagle-standards but still HORRIBLE.

Nah, Cane's a very good starting point to clean up the house. Lily is vital for the show and the existence that black storyline (LOL) - but her protrayer is NOT.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
