Yeah.  Brenda and Alan (both pill addicts) drank freely as well post-addiction, but I don't believe Lucky ever did.  I can ALMOST let Brenda/Alan/Sasha slide because I don't think any of them followed the 12 step program.  I didn't even know Curtis was a pill addict until this moment so no idea what he does.  

Finn seems like he very much followed and completed the 12 steps and that's why he was so disturbed by accidently sipping champagne.

Why does the show have so many pill addicts on the current canvas? I know it's an epidemic these days but I'm surprised. 

They should have done the recent Hollyoaks story where a number of characters accidentally took bad pills and died.

Yeah, I know they've not talked about working the program. Unsure also about Curtis but he strikes me as the kind of guy who would plunge into "clean living" so diet change & upping the physical exercise. 

Definitely! As much as he & Alexis discussed it, both big on 'working the program'. My middle brother was a drug addict, plain & simple, any drug, all drugs but he used AA & NA for over a year at one point & got clean & sober & when he fell off the wagon he drank copious amounts of alcohol & no drugs for a year or two. I thought it was extremely weird but it was clear he simply could not do substances in moderation, that anything for him was going to be to excess. I think the substances were his only true friends. Today Finn looked at that bottle like a long lost friend.

I'll be honest, but I think more people that I knew in high school had opiate addictions more than alcohol addictions.  I am not terribly young and I have know at least 10 people who have died fairly recently from bad pills/heroin/fentanyl.  It's timely but it sure is depressing.

My mother is a counselor for rehabs so I know more about the program than I need to lol.  I just know when you are serious about the 12 steps it's very serious.  And much like your sibling the thought is you can't do any mind altering substances in moderation even if it's not your drug of choice.

I'd be into a pill story more if someone actually died from it unexpectedly.

Or if it just wasn't Sasha, Curtis or Finn as the addicts. If half the cast wasn't worthless and boring. Maybe that.

Dominic Zamprogna’s been the MVP in these last few episodes. And I’m really liking the way his character arc is going. 

On the other hand, Michael’s scenes with Dex today were the perfect example of what I mean when I say that Michael is a child trapped in a man’s body. And trying to make Joss a human being is not gonna work, so why is anyone even bothering? Hopefully, Kristina’s final scene with Dex today leads to something more between them. #dexkristinablazetriangle

And RIP Gregory. Maybe Finn falling off the wagon will finally lead to Liz moving on lol

You mean while YOU were high, or...?  I'm joking.

When I read @DRW50's post about the "bad pills" storyline on "Hollyoaks," my mind went immediately to the Tylenol murders.  "Yes," I thought, "now THAT would be a GREAT way to trim that cast!"  I didn't realize they actually were talking about something else entirely, lol.

Ha!  The Tylenol murders!  I was born in Chicago and I can't tell you how many times my mom told me about tainted Tylenol.  I still use Advil instead.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • 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.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
