Great chapter oh dear the Waltons are evil Oh no Emma getting arrested possibly Will Bobby or Greg get to Sam first? Maybe not the best idea Celia. Update again soon

Question of whether Bobby or Greg will get to Sam first... This is possibly not the best plan of Celia's.

I loved Jasmine/Robbo together. Sam/Jake worked so fantastic together, loved the complex, fun, dynamic, interesting, divisive dynamic between the two characters.

I've been watching the show since 2003 and there were a lot of actors who started with very limited acting skills but improved as the time went on. IMO Sam is the one who has improved the most. When she started her acting was very wooden and it always looked like she was trying to remember her lines, but she has improved a lot since then. H&A and Neighbors are considered to be 'acting school' for a lot of actors. I didn't like her character with Robbo because she would come off as very immature and nagging (especially during his time with AFP), but since he died the was a part of very well written storyline about grief and obsession and her acting was great. I do enjoy her character now.

I have no problem with her, or any other woman, being friendly with men while in the relationship nor I find something like that provocative, but considering that Tane is Ari's brother and that they already had a lot of issues (which she was well aware of from the beginning), she should have stayed away and put as much distance between them as possible (I don't think that would be too weird she barely talks to Nik). She was warned by her friends and family to keep him away, but she just ignored them and kept flirting even though she knew she wanted Ari. Tane is a player and if she told him off at the beginning, I doubt their attraction would develop to the point that it is awkward and difficult to be around each other. You can't choose who you are attracted to, but you can chose how to respond. Maybe she couldn't avoided him all the time, but didn't have to try and engage into conversation while he was on his own especially after he asked her for some space. It looks like she wants to be with Ari, but she doesn't want to let Tane go. Maybe she didn't intend to stay there permanently but she only started looking for another place after being told off by Tane, someone wanting to avoid awkwardness and conflict would've been eager to get out of there. I'm not saying that Tane is innocent in all this mess, but considering that Mac is the one who is in the relationship , she should've drew the line long time ago. I think that Mac and Ari work well together, and from what I've seen on social media they have got fans on their side. Tbh I'm surprised that Ari didn't suspect anything considering that few weeks ago Mac told him about her attraction to Tane. I don't think she is the character dominated by men, but I do believe that she's got more to offer then just being in love triangles. This is second love triangle in her first year on the show. I think that Ziggy and Mac living together is a good idea, however I wouldn't include Bella and Willow - last time only girls lived in that house 3 out of 4 died.

I think that Mac is aware of the effect she's got on Tane, but it seams that she is the one who can't stay away from him. That's why I think she is the most to blame for this whole situation. She was happy to flirt with him and lead him on for months, she should've put him back to his place at the beginning and just not engage in any banter. The fact that she was in casual relationship with Ari is not an excuse, Tane is his brother. Then instead of putting Tane in opposite shifts at Salt as soon as she admitted her attraction to him, they kept working together, then she picked the fight with Amber because of him, give him the attitude because of his one night stands and at the end she moved in with no intention of moving out (as Nik said she's got the money she could've stayed at the motel). Also there were many times when she was kissing Ari while looking how Tane would react. Who does that! And once he asked her for some space, she kept trying to engage into conversation with him every chance she's got. Maybe she can't avoid him all the time, but she didn't have to go out while he was playing the guitar and simple 'hi' at the Surf Club would be enough. She might be with Ari, but I still think she is attracted to Tane. I really liked Mac when she came to the show, but this storyline really ruined her character.

My god, The Waltons are evil as and Bridget and Barry are even worse....

Great chapter oh no Bridget wants to go head to head with Emma Greg's search for Sam continues Bobby seeing Sam that woman was so rude and forceful. Update again soon

Anyway I hear about that crap everyday already

Tori: Christian, We need you to operate. Christian: Sure, just let me perform surgery first, babe! (That's totally going in a story)

I still believe C5 will take the usual annual break and double up on neighbours to get that back to same day airings. I guess we will know in the next few weeks as something is usually announced November time

1) Bobby Simpson 2) Marilyn Chambers 3) Rebecca Fisher 4) Shauna Bradley 5) Sally Fletcher 6) Pippa Ross 7) Donald Fisher

Why are you all posting so many photo's and making me feel things.

Favourite all depends if I enjoy the stories so really haven't got a favourite Alf is always funny though Worse characters Dean I just find him boring Colby dull but the story with Angleo is my favourite Tori gone off her when Robbo was about and still annoys me Tane Ari Mackenzie

Some serious ructions in this new chapter! Jumped a foot in the air with clenched fist after Stevo belted Ben. Michael really is a DOG in this Universe. God, this is like crack!

At the risk of dragging this out, Colby is being manipulative with Taylor, or at the very least lying to her, and the fact she hasn't noticed and thinks his interest in her is without an agenda doesn't change that. His attitude towards her can be best underlined by the way he tried to sneak a look at her phone while she was sleeping, then encouraged her to look at Angelo's text just because he wanted to know what it said.It doesn't matter that he doesn't have any reason to resent Angelo's behaviour towards Bella, he does anyway. Alf's episode count this week:Five! And...today, with Ziggy receiving her induction into the ever-growing "I know Colby's a murderer" club. Dean kind of was on a hiding to nothing.It's debatable whether the choice he made was the right one: Yes, Ziggy now knows the reason for his behaviour, but he's been keeping this from her throughout their whole relationship, and if she keeps quiet then she's another one looking at an accessory charge. (At this point, I'm forced to reflect just what blabbermouths this lot are: Has Dean now told Willow, Karen and Ziggy, and Bella told Nikau?) Amber remains in the dark and just gets a talking to from Willow: I have to respect her being a loyal friend to Dean if nothing else. Elsewhere...surgery time for Justin.Nice that Brody and Raffy got mentions, and I liked that Tori calmed him down by getting him to look after Grace. It does seem like the tension between him and Jasmine has entirely gone now: Maybe being in a hospital bed does that to you. Meanwhile, Ryder's attentiveness towards Roo and Owen was a bit inappropriate but amusing nonetheless.

I haven't been watching much of what's happening this year, but I've seen enough of Thorne (too much for my likening) for me to completely agree with everything you've just said, Red. Any chance of any redeeming part of him has gone out of the window in recent months (though then again, given what he did, it was already a very low chance). I don't think you're "getting at Colby" at all, the way he's been behaving this year (and for the majority of last year as well), especially towards Taylor, has been infuriating to watch. The sooner he gets caught, and the sooner Bella, Dean and Willow realise how far he's gone and drop him like a hot potato, the better.

Yes guest characters are always allowed - there'd be some unhappy people if we excluded the likes of Angie Russell, Paris Burnett, Jazz Curtis etc. He debuted before 7414 so yes he is, if you feel he's one of the Top 7 characters of all time

According to Wikipedia H&A character's list Owen's surname is Davidson. Not often a character's name is used in full, the last time we may, if we'd been quick, to see Owen's adopted name was when he showed his adoption papers to Ryder. What Wikipedia did get wrong was to state Owen and Evan were estranged but for that to happen they would have had to know each other first. Ryder's face when Owen told him he and Roo were going on a date - it is weird his aunt dating his uncle. I think I know why Roo backed out, though this time Ryder did make the right suggestions, it was because it was a proper date. So far her and Owen meeting up has been casual, nothing really planned. Her and Evan weren't a couple in the conventional sense but she does feel guilty about seeing someone else so soon, especially if that someone looks exactly like the guy she was falling in love with. That casual stroll up to Stewart's Point was more relaxed though it left Ryder and Alf looking puzzled and she was looking at him in a certain way and he understood why she backed out. I did like her dress she wore for her non date. That is what was needed someone telling Justin why the op to remove the cavernoma was really necessary without the emotional involvement and the risks if he didn't have it, like one of the blood vessels bursting. Good use of the car engine analogy from Christian to explain his point. There was no faff, no "I'm Mr. Wonderful" just told it straight, which is probably what swayed Justin. I smiled when they both shut Tori down. Now he's had the more detailed explanation he was able to make an more informed decision. Don't muck about do they when they decide? Should have known it as soon as Tane tells Ari his bad days are behind him they aren't - well using a Panto reference "They're behind you". Two more dodgy looking guys you couldn't expect to see. Not as if Tane owes them any money or favours, just that they are hoping to tempt him back to help them out so they need him more than he needs them. How much pressure did they use on his ex house mate for him to tell them where he was? Still awkward moments when he and Mac are In each others company. Nasty enough wound for Mac insisting she get Tane to the hospital., only as a concerned boss of course. Only a brief shot but from the trailer but it looked like Mac was having a panic attack when the lift jammed.

I'm so glad that baby Ruby is getting better and I can't believe that the nurse was rude and that both she and the doctor apologised. I really enjoy reading this story every time you update looking forward to reading more.

Ziggy is the character that drew me back in to the show after stopping watching after phoebe left then I drew back in again right before Ben left and it made me decide to go down the Ziggy and Ben father daughter journey again I do have to admit 2017 Ziggy is my fave Ziggy

That's another one of those episodes which leaves me disgusted at Colby and what he's done to that girl. The fact Bella thinks she can't manage without him shows how abusive their relationship is, and her spiel about how Colby saved her from living in fear shows how much she's been brainwashed by him: She's spent the last year living in fear precisely because of what Colby did, as this episode shows.And yes, now there's yet another person for Colby to drag down with him as Nikau is let in on the least secret murder in the Bay.Colby goes from trying to bully Bella into covering for him to making cloying reassurances about how it's okay for her to drop him in it, and he wonders why she's so messed up she has to run away.Nikau looks way older than her, and yet he's acting like a stupid little kid again: Took him less than two weeks to break his promise to not be stupid and irresponsible and put Bella in danger. This is why I think she needed someone better than him: She's already got Colby, Dean and to a point Willow teaching her a screwed up sense of right and wrong, she needed someone who'd provide a different perspective, not an enabler who encourages her to go against the law. A real friend would have stopped her. Not much else going on, except for Marilyn seemingly getting her feet under the table, Alf deciding to trust Nikau at exactly the wrong moment and even more worrying behaviour from Justin.Was he really okay while he was away, or just hiding it well? I liked Ava's present for Grace, it's easy to forget that Robbo made her Grace's honorary big sister last year.

I like Willow too. There's been moments I haven't, but I think she's the glue in the Colby/Dean/Bella unit and usually has good intentions. Its a shame the Alex storyline wasn't longer, as she feels a bit of a 4th wheel since then.
