A shiny new thread, yah flaming galahs - can't believe we filled up another one!

Jasmine has grown on me a bit too! Finally. I find that a lot with H&A though, I hated Justin, Mason, Willow, Ryder, Maggie when they all started and now I like them... still not keen on Ziggy 😬 Saying that, really can’t abide Simoan n Brody, she’s more likeable than them at least! Does anyone else cheer when stuff goes wrong for them 😆

Erm... I came up with Lustin before Roo. Just sayin’ 🤗 and yes, she’s a dirty Sid-stealer. I’ve never forgiven her, even if Maz has!!

Why don't Brody and Simoan move into their caravan of love, if they are that bothered about living together. Although that might not happen now.
I had to snigger at her talking about the finding out of the drugs and police record, "It's not that so much, it's the lying" (she moans to Tory), FFS he's been lying for weeks while youse having been having an affair (and still would be if you hadn't been rumbled). How can it be that much of a shock?
Shockingly only talking about poncy food and shagging are not the solid basis for a relationship.

Ha, yes, and also Brody trying to convince Simoan he’s a changed man since his ‘ice’ days - ‘I’m not that lying cheating guy any more’, err, yeah, as long as you don’t count the lying and cheating you did with Simoan behind Ziggy’s back eh! I hate this couple, why are the writers trying to make us feel sorry for them?! I just feel sorry for the actors as apparently they’re receiving a load of abuse online for the story!! Poor sods.

I think the more they try, the worse it is. He's just never seemed like he actually thinks he did something wrong. But I LOVE Simone, so it's OK to do l this. I deserve happiness!!

"she's my partner" as if using the word partner suddenly confers legitimacy or permanence to their relationship.
"she's not the other woman" , that's exactly what she was.
Clearly you do not know each other at all, considering she doesn't even know about the witness protection program either.
I'm hoping that Ziggy gets a shit hot divorce lawyer and gets a chunk out of Salt from him.

Missed an opportunity there. When Brady asked about the moving in plans she should have looked at him coldly and said 'they're on ice...'

Brody not Brady

Pmsl at on ice

I was amused at how amused Maggie was to know why they didn't get it and know she could stir it with Simper

And even in his big confession, he didn't confess the witness protection. She doesn't even know that his real name's, erm, Bartholomew? Was that him? I remember that Tori was Teresa but can't remember any of the guys.

And when she asked him whether Ziggy knew about the drugs, and he said yeah, she helped me through it - not even a glimmer of shame.

The writers do balls things up frequently, but this storyline is really poorly thought through. There's just no chemistry between the two of them at all, so it's impossible to believe that he would have fallen this quickly and this hard for her - to the extent that he'd destroy everything he had built up in the Bay for her.

I mean, let's face it, every single woman in the Bay is more charismatic than she is. I'd sooner go on a date with Irene.

Yeah it would have worked the other way much better.

Anyway, hopefully Zig will soon be getting some Dean and Bromine will get what they deserve

I think Justin was Jack?

I can't help likingvleah and Justin. And I'm quite jealous of her figure! Nice to have lighthearted bits on it from time to time

Jack, Tessa, Bart & umm... Something beginning with M...! Mickey maybe? Or Morgan?! Monty?!

I googled. He was originally Michael. The actor's name is Orpheus Pledger. There's one for a baby names thread...! D'you think he gets called "Orph" for short? I think that could incite many Orph-ully annoying puns... Could also lead to many confusing situations if you happened to have a certain accent - "I'm going to take off now." Orph: "Where are we going?"

I'm so tired!

Orph Orph, very good!*

*Sposed to be like Arf Arf... look I haven’t slept in two years ok!

Argh I’m all confused, feeling sorry for Simoan! I think it’s cos the actress is very convincing in the role now that she’s portraying a fragile bookish type rather than home-wrecking vixen.

Brogey can sod right off still 😝 piece o shit

Raffy is behaving like a monster to Bella! I’m very disappointed in her 😁

@PrincessScarlett that's it! I couldn't put my finger on who Bella reminded me of. Bobby!!!

Yy to the way Raffy is treating Bella.

I often wonder though, have the writers forgotten about Irene's past?

Yeah, I don't like Raffy as the queen bee bully type. Perhaps that's somehow going to be a symptom of her illegal "meds" but Mason will miss it because he too hates Simoan. I miss sweet, mature, rational Raffy!

I seem to remember Dean turning up naked in Willow's bed at one point when she was with Justin. I just don't understand it at all. If you're not in a relationship with someone what astronomical level of entitlement does it take for you to break into their home, take your clothes off & climb into their bed to wait for them just assuming they're going to be thrilled to jump straight into bed?! What if it was Alf coming round to fix something?! What if he'd had a long day or wasn't feeling well & was just looking forward to going to sleep?! It's creepy & weird.

What if he'd stumbled backwards through the door snogging someone else and taking off his clothes!!!

I know and now she’s got all her naked bodyness all over his sheets, which probably smelt like Ziggy anyway! Time for a duvet cycle at the laundrette methinks Dean 🤔

I agree about the lack of chemistry with Brody and Simone. If Brody was leaving anyway it would have been more interesting if he had rejected Simone, then she had conspired to ruin his life in revenge.

OMG, I watch on 5* so am ahead of the normal Channel 5 broadcast so won't say anything about the ep I've just seen...

Ooh I'm intrigued TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross

Oh no!!!!!!!!
Can we go beat up the duff heads!!
