Symphony

awh, i enjoyed reading this ... although the ending took me a little by surprise if i'm to be honest, it seemed to come out of nowhere - but, nevertheless on the whole, it was well written; and congrats for managing to keep it under control

in regards to getting the script months earlier, this isn't true. well, at least, the schedules are usually released on the Friday of the week before - at least for Palm Beach. Regardless of there being a fake Todd, there [is] a Todd on facebook who is not fake. There is also a Todd on myspace who is not fake and the myspace is a public account, which he [himself] has advertised as the best way for fans to contact him

this was very moving - really well written, i could picture it all playing out too! write more one shots? or long fics? [puppy dog eyes] - Symphony

^ that's gas. particularly 'cause I don't there's much chemistry in the film until towards the end but i'm still addicted. ahh - that shouldn't have counted as you were made to watch it

if you were just looking at the list of 'Todd Lasance' on there, I suppose you wouldn't. Friends lists can help - but then again, there's so many fake ones out there too.

^ you'd be surprised. there's a fake Todd on Facebook, who has the same profile picture as the 'real' Todd - and he has a good few hundred 'friends' on it!

Ah, watched that a couple weeks ago in Melbourne, it really is a classic movie! Er - watched Twilight again last night ... well, it was on in the background whilst I was reading Twilight .. I feel a Titanic-style addiction coming on

a little sunny but very cold, and grey clouds overhanging

That's a good point about the addiction, and I'll accept that happily - but then I cast my mind back to when Aden was in clinic, and she was confused then too so she started dating Angelo. I dunno, it just disappoints me that she can't be happy without a man. The 'old' Belle seemed to be a little stronger than that.

Just caught up on two of this week's episodes; and have to say, I'm hugely/i] disappointed in Belle - obviously we all saw that Liam was going to tell her he was into her, but why - WHY does she have to assume it's good to give it a go; what IS it with the singletons of summer bay that as soon as anyone shows a snippet of interest in them, they go dashing off - even if they themselves haven't said that they feel an attraction? I'm so annoyed over this - and eh, hello, supposed to love Aden? bah, these days, with the way the writers are doing Belle, I seriously find it hard to believe she actually knows what love is - or that she just went through that big storyline with Aden - she's becoming just like martha and all her 'loves' GAH!

^ you look disappointed at this

YOU KILLED BELLE ... i need a while to recover ...

God, I always feel like I'm repeating myself when I comment on your stories - but I can't help it, I just love your books so much, seriously like! yes, books, I said that word! I meant chapters but seriously ... bah! The bath scene - Aden's opening words were just gas, and I could pure picture him saying them too. Then, the descriptions I really don't know how you wrote that; seriously - I was reading and thinking, "I wish I'd written this" - if that makes sense There's just a carefree but intensely loving theme between them all; and really enjoyed reading about Belle introducing Krissy to the photos, and what she thinks of everyone ... More, please, asap

Whoa, I only read the last chapter - now i'm going to hav to go backwards and read the rest

[coughs a little pathetically] Twilight. [sheepish]

the only one I've known out of those to accept on facebook is Todd, and apparently [from what I've seen around here] he doesn't accept fans anymore. However, both he & Jordan accept on Myspace

Sunny, with blue skies, some clouds. Trees are whipping back and forth though, so I'm assuming it's cold outside.

Also, I could be mistaken, but I'm not 100% if that'd be the real Jordan on Facebook; I've not known him to be on it

^ yeah, but that was back then. i'm talking about now and, i think the bin ride was just a fun prank, not a 'look at me, i'm a big man' type stunt :] I agree though, as I said, that Trey is similar to Aden, and putting him with Nicole is like revisiting old ground, but without the same 'snap' that Belle & Aden had after their first kiss. Nicole & I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out ... She's never going to like him [rightly so] and I'm wondering when Roman will wake up to what his friend is now ; whether or not he was always that cocky & arrogant, and Roman used be like that, I don't know, but certainly ... Nicole has the right idea about him!

possibly the way he's being treated by everyone else after all, he's in Summer Bay on orders, and that was probably the last place in the world that he wanted to go, but he can't do anything about it. so, he's there against will, under strain because everyone thinks he's a murderer, forced to arrest one of the bays favourite residents, gets slapped by his ex-gf in front of the other police officers, and has to do something about it because otherwise they'd have jokes about what a pussy he was not to, and how he was showing favouritism because she was his ex, but if someone else slapped him, they'd be arrested for abuse to officers - and that could spiral off into a huge 'corrupt police force' story, even though it was something so simple - but in this case he's just turned more people against him .... under all that, i think i'd be falling into the 'bad guy killer' reptuation that everyone clearly wants him to act like, and snapping at people too

I don't think it's Roman's fault for kicking Aden out! He gave him the rule, the main one rule, and Aden broke it. Roman knows Aden's past history, obviously he had a reason for saying Nicole was to be off limits to Aden. If they had truly, serously, wanted to be together, I'm pretty sure that had they gone to Roman and talked to him about it, he would have accepted it - but, going behind his back was unforgiveable, and obviously it happened when they were both under a lot of strain, tbh i don't think either of them would date the other - at least at the time it seemed that they were both very much in love with their ex-other-halves, but that said, Nicole has managed to move on remarkably quickly .. typical! but anyway, this is the Aden/Nicole thread so I'll try to stay on topic; i hated having them together. Not because of Adelle, but because for such a long time, they were [along with Belle & Geoff] one of the very few mixed couples who managed to maintain a friendship and nothing more, and I really appreciated that because H&A always seems to give off the 'guys and girls cant be just friends' vibe which, I think can be very influential to the wrong people So yeah. FRIENDSHIP all the way kthanx.

Tony and Rachel ... I'll be openly honest and say that when they come onscreen, I tend to tune out a bit. Their storyline together simply doesn't capture me; I find it odd that Rachel is still racing around after everyone else, and the baby seems to be coming second in her thoughts/talking. I would have thought, what with the wedding, baby, that she'd be a little self-involved for once, but no - Rachel the Star as always. As for Rachel/Tony ... I dunno. I admit there have been good scenes between them lately, with Tony not showing support, and then coming running back full of remorse, etc, and they do seem to have a strong relationship [heck they're still together, so that's always a good sign ] but ... they're not a couple that interests me

I think the Angelo storyline is going well, and I'm really feeling for him to be honest - After all, he was accused of murder but evidence was inconclusional ; yet now that Irene is accused of murder, everyone's rallying around her to defend her, and tell Angelo he's a liar for trying to frame her etc etc etc. Yes, I know Angelo was at the scene of Jack's murder, so it's different scenario, but still I find their actions just a tad hypocritical. At first, I thought, 'oh you fool' when he was consistently going to the diner / surf club, but, with that said, Summer Bay is supposed to be a tiny town, so I suppose they're the only places to go for him.. I felt for him, really did, when he went to release Belle, only to find her already being freed. I know people will say that he shouldn't have acted that way, and they hate him for it, etc, but I'm sure Jack fans will remember when Jack lost the plot with Roman over a van [that Roman hadn't even parked] and slapped the handcuffs on him; same action, same reason - deep running dislike, etc. So ... lay off Angelo a bit with that Bring on the Angelo storyline; I'm looking forward to it. [and yes agreed, his outfit is cool; he let me wear the hat for a photo, i was all [aghimwearinghishat!] xD]

I really like how Ruby & Nicole were getting on; that struck me as more natural than Annie & Ruby, because Ruby seems to be interested in how she looks, and boys, and all that; so she's more like Nicole in that respect. Trey, I think, like Aden, will be more than we expect. And Xavier, I don't think he sees himself as the 'bad boy' or wants to? How could he, after the great way he gets on with Brendan, and now even brings him out in public with him; he'd know that that would drop a bad boy reptuation instantly. The way he acted with Trey recently was hostile yes, but then again Trey was accusing his brother of lying about a huge story so it's well deserved. I know this is the Nicole thread, but I love the relationship between Xavier & Ruby [particularly the way she fought for him], and I think that the Nicole/Trey storyline will develope into something interesting. To me, he's nothing like Geoff or Elliot, or that other eejit she was with for a while, actually, he's more like Aden to me - has a bad past, thinks himself something of a bully, but really below all that, is a nice guy - and the nice guy bit is starting to show through but obviously he'll have some more bad times before all is revealed or soemthing to that effect. And Nicole, I think, is being a bit too hostile towards Roman, however then again with that said, it's a huge change for her to adjust to as well, so .. I'm happy to let it all play out and see what happens

Couldn't agree more with John and RR1 - as they've said, Annie has been a background character, yes, but, obviously she's settling in and making her mark on the Bay. The recent 'sisterly' like scenes with Belle only go to prove this; visiting her in the clinic most likely took a big chunk of bravery [and possibly questioning of herself], and they seem to be very close - which is lovely to see! Also then, as for Geoff, again, I think it was John that phrased it perfectly. In his attempt to become 'normal' in the bay, Geoff has just succeeded in becoming like every other teenager there - sleeping with who he pleases, to 'show' something to others. Even though, this was to get back at Nicole, he still did it - which the old Geoff would never have done ; and yet Annie still hasn't progressed past kissing Jai, and holding hands, which is adorably sweet - and their relationship is so strong. I'd be interested to see what would happen if an 'older' or more confident guy started showing interest in Annie; like the way she's so in awe of Liam Murphy, although we know the storyline doesn't progress that way. But yes, I saw a poll up on the Poll Board recently, asking if Jai was a 'pointless' character, and what I said there reflects what I think of Annie too; perhaps neither have huge big WHOA storylines like some other characters, but that doesn't make them any less the importance that they are.
