Symphony

It's interesting reading this as a script... nice job with it, and I love the 'promo' for the next chapter, lol Dylan strikes me as the new Angelo, hehe. Looking forward to more

I don't think relationships should be based on "you stuck by me through this, so i'll stick by you through your hard times as repayment" - it's just accepted that you support each other. But, if Aden were to fall out of love with Belle, depending on how stable she was with her PTD at the time, I think I'd prefer for him to break up with her, rather than lead her on falsely. And, Red Ranger, you put forward some valid points that I hadn't thought about before!

Too true though, Colleen would probably faint and then cause havoc while ranting about how 'wrong' it is She'd be too old school to accept a gay relationship, I think. Well written Traceve, I enjoyed it!

I don't know how many of them come on this site, but I do know of one who has mentioned BTTB to me before, so I'm pretty sure she comes on here. And before anyone pelts with questions, no I don't know her online username Said this already, but yera, what's the harm; enjoy birthday drinks Toddster!

I've never sent a fancard, but if I did, I'd probably word it something like this, Dear Jess, [just using Jess as an example] My name is [insert] and I'm a big Home & Away fan from Ireland, but having seen your latest story lines, I've felt compelled to write you a fan letter. Your portrayal of Belle's struggle with her recent angst and anxiety attacks is amazingly spot on, and your acting skills made this role utterly believeable. We're about a month behind in episodes here in Ireland, but I've been keeping up with watching Home & Away on youtube. Also, the onscreen chemistry between Belle and Aden is so lifelike; particularly those first few scenes together. I loved the easy banter between you guys, where Belle disliked Aden utterly, but then seeing her gradually grow to like him, even though she fought against it every second. Those scenes between you guys were just magic, and so enjoyable to watch! I hope you're not planning to leave Home and Away any time soon?? We'd really miss seeing you on our screens! Keep up the great acting, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Belle copes with her next traumatic event, but I know without a doubt that you'll do a great job with whatever the writers throw at you! I'd love a response from you, if you have the time, - or a fancard! Thanks for all the entertainment, and great watching on tv, From [insert] *** Just wrote that off the top of my head. I'm not sure if that's what fans write to the H&A cast, but I guess it'd be something like that? Hehe, maybe a more fan-writing-letter fan will be able to advise you better xD

^ well all the lads love hearing from their fans, and, be you writing to one or many, just do it - there's no harm in it whatsoever :] If I were writing to any, I'd be writing to Jess & Ruby as much as I'd like to write to Todd, so it's def not just lovesick teens - can be an actual admiration for their acting skills etc If you want to write to more than one, then go for it - if the postage isn't a problem [shouldn't be too expensive for a letter] and then you'll have more chance of hearing back from someone sooner :] Good luck with it all guys

Finally we have a bit of blue sky and sunshine Bring back the Sydney sun!

love it!

I'm interested to see this also, I know that Aden loves Belle so very much, but,

Is he trying to replace Jack though? We didn't see him making any romantic overtures - I'm sure that many of us here can think of people that we, at one stage or another of life, had feelings for, but the feelings were unrequited. Yet, I'm sure too that many of us then, as a second alternative, became friends with the person instead - the next best thing. Obviously I'm not talking about having a crush on a H&A actor; but actual people that we know. It's sort of human nature; after all, if you have feelings for them, you obviously like the person that they are, and would therefore enjoy being friends with them, even if it's not quite what you wanted originally. I agree with Eli, I don't think that Martha did anything wrong either; she probably feels betrayed, and disgusted by Roman, it's just such a pity that it all happened like that; I still don't think he was using her situation to get closer to her either, after all, they were becoming very close too after the whole baby incident, etc Jack dying just provided more time for them together - but it's not as though Roman orchestrated Jack's death I [really] hope they become friends once again, I so enjoyed their on screen time together, that the 'fight' between them was heartbreaking! As for friends for Martha; I think she & Leah could have made friends, after all there's only like an 8 year gap between them?

I love the way he gave into Freya, simply because the storyline is usually that the GIRL is completely under the GUY'S thumb, and even though she keeps saying "he's no good for me", keeps going back to him - So it was great to see it turning around, and being the guy who simply can't resist the girl, even though he totally knows she's bad for him! For me, David's really becoming Xavier, at first I was thinking, "oh not another bad boy who's not really bad, but is just a bit of a 'wrong side of town' guy" - but now we're seeing a new depth to him, first from hearing about how he's the only one that mentions/defends Brendan, and then for seeing how he can't resist Freya - That said, he was resisting Ruby just fine until the champagne, which is totally the wrong reason to fall for Ruby as she's so much more than that! But - I'm looking forward to seeing more screen-time of him, and watching him develop particularly when

Thanks for all the comments you guys it was my first time writing a 'one shot' - and I really enjoyed it ; I appreciate the reads & comments big time! *hugs*

Yeah, there are many parts that I miss of Angelo - like one of his first episodes, where he went up to Belle and said, "did you make these chips? they're awful" - and then turned out he was only kidding around, trying to get to talk to her - they were really likeable episodes of his. That said, I think hes's doing a fabulous job with the storyline at the moment, I really felt for him when he said "I'm not the hero you think I am" to Martha, and, when he said, "I hate myself as much as you hate me" or something like that to Charlie. And no, no punching of Aden thanks very much

Same here, I would imagine if my boyfriend kidnapped me, and the local doctor, and tried to kill his father in the process, I would never go near him again! But I suppose, it must be true love! lol I agree.I've never thought they made a good couple but before that incident I had actually started to accept them, to get used to seeing them together.But that should have pushed them past the point of no return.No matter how much she sympathised with him and understood why he did it, no sane person would ever take back someone who had treated her and other people like that. I think it's because she saw, in the court, that he hadn't been in full state of mind that night, and that's the day that she realised it too; the scene where she was quietly urging him onwards, to tell them all about his father, and he did - but using her as his emotional crutch, that was the turning point past his 'mad episode', I think - because that was the same episode where she told him in the diner that in the courtroom, she had seen "the guy she loves" - ie realising that she still loved him, and - should he return to himself, then he'd still be the same person she loved before - I can't say that no sane person would take back anyone who had treated them like that, because if you look at women who are in abusive relationships, they love their partners so much that the majority of them will ALWAYS defend them saying, "oh, he didn't mean to beat me," or, "oh no, his hand slipped" etc <-- or, men who are being beaten by women. It's not always because there's a fear there, sometimes it's actually just because they love them so much that they can't see PAST the abuse.... So, for Belle, I believe that seeing Aden that night, when he held them hostage, was the first time she knew fear around him, and, realised that there was a whole depth to Aden that she had never known about. But, seeing him in the court, and, watching as he struggled to return to normality - attending his counseling sessions, accepting about Larry, going back to work etc - would have gradually made her realise too that it was just a passing event, because Aden had been at the brink of a nervous breakdown anyway with all the pressure - And, nervous/mental breakdowns aren't things to be taken lightly, but they don't make people monsters either - not permanently anyway! So, for me, I can entirely see why she took him back, and how she still loves him. But I do find it hard that Rachel forgave him - I mean, if it wasn't for Aden, she'd have been married for a couple of months now! So that seems a little unrealistic to me alright

WOW the Indi ones are fabulous!!

Couldn't agree more with the people up above, the last two commentators; Jess is really getting into this whole PTS business, and while it's heart wracking to watch, I'm so thrilled that the writers gave her a really 'important' storyline; like Todd got his shot with the abuse line, it's fantabulous to see Jess sinking her teeth into this; another topic that far too many fans will be able to identify with - and she's portraying it [so] well. Bravo Jess!

^ because she has her PTD. And, feels the urge and need to rely on Aden at every corner, moment and opportunity. She's not of a 100% 'normal' working mind at the moment, and, if you ask me, is also suffering from some form of EAD [emotional anxiety depression] which would explain her sudden constant clingyness. I think she called Aden because he's the one she depends on, he's the love of her life, the main person in her life, and so, she calls him when things go wrong. Obviously this wouldn't work in a normal working relationship, but, as I said, Belle isn't in her normal frame of mind now.

There's a fake Linc on Myspace & Facebook; but the real one also has an account on Facebook & Myspace; I know Linc doesn't add fans to his myspace account - but he apparently goes to the Facebook account, sooo you [could] have been added by the real one Man that post looks confusing

Angelo 41 Charlie 40 Hugo 31 Leah 28 Martha 11 Morag 8

^ No worries, glad you like !

overcast & wet ... hope it's not lashing tonight!

Here's a handful of the Aden ones that are dispersed throughout my thread Not sure if any are what you're looking for Use any of them, if you like them

Are we allowed to talk about spoilers / onscreen happenings in Australia that haven't been shown on UK etc tv screens yet - in the Character Discussions threads? I would have assumed not, seeing as it's not in the spoiler section, but we all seem to do it there, so - I'm confused?

Woohoo, it's 12.05 now so .... HAPPY OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY LUKEY!

^ sorry, i edited my post, 'cause it made it look like i was shoving my opinion down people's throats when i read back on it, and like i was saying they were wrong - which isn't what i meant at all, sorry if it came across that way. yeah, i can see where you guys are coming from, ahha, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one xD
