When Mink was first introduced I didn't like her at all. Although, after watching her in a few episodes I am starting to warm to the character. I think she is a more interesting character rather than a likeable one, so I think it would be really good to see more of her and the storylines they have in store for her. As, I wouldn't like to see her just standing around disapproving of Romeo's decision to go back to school and surfing, I don't think. seemed quite sincere to me, so I believe that she could actually be trying to change her life around. However, maybe Mink shouldn't change too much... it's her feisty personality that makes her such an interesting person, but then again this personality of hers can be quite annoying to people at times. So, yeah just a little.

Oh, just look at those wonderful icons! Amy, what can I say? Except that those avatars right there are GORGEOUS! Yes, they're very much worth the bold and underline... My favourites are the two that I've quoted above. The first has absolutely stunning colouring and the cropping has been done to perfection. As for the second, I adore the cropping and really like how Leah is in the centre. It really works well with that picture. The effect makes it even more stunning then ever. I really can't wait for your next update, as I'm sure it will as great as per usual!

These three are my absolute faves out of the bunch! The colouring is gorgeous and I love the way you have experimented with different styles.

Ooh, how gorgeous are they! Aden! The colouring is amazing and so is the different styles of cropping that you've used! I love love love the second to last one and will be saving thaat, definitely! Great work Barbara! More Aden please!

Ooh, like everyone else I think that those effects look just awesome! I really like how certain colours stand out in your icons, particularly the pink and orange in icon 7.

I just can't believe that Bradley is dead, am going to miss him! Tonight's episode was evident once again of how amazing Lacey Turner's acting really is. Over the years she has improved immensely and I look forward to seeing this more in the upcoming episodes. DinerLandlord, I understand what you mean about the ending of the show. To me, I don't think it was very effective at all... they should of at least made her stop running to end the show. It didn't really appeal to me as a "doof doof" moment, as they say and I think it would have been a more dramatic moment for her to stop and consider what was running through her mind at that stage.

I love your icons so much, Jen! As you've probably gathered by now. They are absolutely stunning, the colouring is just perfect. I love the way that you have experienced with the cropping...my favourite from the first Indi picture is the fifth one. I do like how you have placed a heart and a teardrop on her cheek, though and also where the picture has been put on the texture, very creative. Same with the next Indi picture, the one with the heart just has to be my fave. From the Indi/Charlotte ones, I really like how the picture is a slightly different colouring on each, I really like the first one... simple yet perfect! Now as for the Nicole avatars, they are both gorgeous... her eyes stand out nicely... I may just have to save one. Hope I haven't bored you to death with my rather long post but please update soon!

Ooh, I love that blueish colouring on those icons! I think that the text works very well on the "lost and found" one, the blue works good together. Am so looking forward to the Geoff overload! I'll be sure to come back to this thread soon to see them...hopefully he's topless too!

I am going to miss Bradley too. I loved him and Stacey and wanted them to be together for longer. I thought that Bradley and Stacey would have maybe run off together druing the live episode, but I just wish he hadn't of died. DigitalSpy has said that Stacey will be there for the "forseeable future" which is great because I cannot wait to see what they have in store for Lacey's character now that we know she is Archie's killer. To be honest, I don't think Scott Maslen who plays Jack acted very well... it could be me but I just feel that a lot of the things he said and done looked rather fake, should I say. Usually, I really like him as an actor, so perhaps it was just the pressure of being in a live episode which is understandable. He did mess up at the start which could have made him nervous for a start, but when Bradley had died and he was "trying" to fight of a police officer it just seemed quite unrealistic. I'm sure there was something else also that he said.. but I can't think of the top of my head right now. I'm sure in the normal episodes he will be as good as he is usually though.

Well well well, look at those STUNNING icons! As usual, the colouring is amazing! The Tasha icons are just gorgeous and I really like how you've used different styles - my fave is the third one. I really like the cropping of the Sally avatars, especially how Sally is in the centre of the icon. As for the Sally/Flynn and Cassie/Ric ones... LOVE the text on it and the texture/brush that you have used finishes the icons of to perfection. I agree with Jen, the washed out colouring of the Matilda ones look great, I particularly like the 2nd Matilda av. I can't wait for another update.. I love your thread!

Sorry for the wait. I managed to cap a few scenes, and made these:

Jen, I just love it when you update! How do you get your colouring so perfect?! I love it! ^^This icon is amazing, the cropping is perfect. I cannot wait for another update, and I can't wait for those Geoff icons either ! Great work.

Well, that was rather shocking! I didn't really expect to be Stacey, simply because I thought that she would have been one of the more obvious killers. I really wanted Sean to come back though... I think that would have been really interesting, but the more I think about it, Stacey as the killer was probably the right way for the writers to go. Towards the end I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the murderer to be revealed but after Bradley had died I knew it was someone connected to Bradley (Stacey, Max, Jack..) Lacey Turner's acting was absolutely amazing! She is a great actress and I can't wait to see the next few episodes to see what happens next. There was no evidence to show that Lacey was ill at all, but I was a little dissapointed that she couldn't be on the aftermath show to see what she thought about it all, however I hope she gets better soon.

I hear that Sean is the favourite for being the killer. I think that it would be really good to see this happen and it could happen. Maybe he found out about Stacey and the baby? Even though Ronnie said Archie cannot be the father, they didn't know this at Christmas and Sean could have found out. I would still like it to be Grant though, even though it will probably won't be him. I think Sean coming back will be very dramatic though and it would be great to see how they plan it out.

I think to say that you're obsessed with Mcdean would be an understatement! I love the black and white colouring, and I think that the textures/brushes work really well with it. My favourite has to be the first one.

I really like your colouring, as it is very different and light. I especially love how well it works with the Alf icon.

I absolutely adore this icon, Bec. The colouring is gorgeous and I love the text at the bottom.

^^ I will attempt to make a few, if you like? I'll post them later on today.

I made a couple from the first and second links.

I think that it would be really interesting for Martha and Liam to have a relationship, as he seems to be different to what she would normally go for. They appear to have a fun relationship as friends, so if they did have something between them this might not last. I do think that it is better for them to remain friends though, Martha isn't ready for another relationship just yet (even if her boyfriend is out of the picture). I do find it rather strange for Martha to acting like nothing has happened considering her boyfriend has just died... or so she believes. I think she needs time for herself right now

Oh yes, I did actually forget about that for a while - or just wasn't bothered about it anymore. The storyline really gets on my nerves, probably because I don't like Lucas but I just wish that they would get it over and done with...storylines like that shouldn't be dragged out that long, unless they are actually going to be worth the wait such as Archie's murder.

I agree. They always exaggerate far too much on one character so that the audience will believe that it is them, but it turns out to be someone completely different. I don't think it would be Janine, that would be a lot more obvious then Bradley. I really hope that it isn't Stacey's friend, she isn't particularly one of my favourite characters and it just wouldn't be exciting if it was her... Friday is bound to be a good episode though, I'll be expecting them to confuse us by making it seem as if it is one person and then changing it to another - just like the Heather and her baby storyline.

The colouring on those icons are fantastic Matticus01 I really like how the red stands out. I also love this icon, the cropping is perfect and the text finishes off the icon nicely.

Amy, your icons are just the best ever! I adore the colouring, are you still using picnik? ^^ These are my favourites from the previous post, I think that the colouring works particularly well on these. I love the hearts you have used on the Kane/Kirsty and Geoff/Nicole ones. Well, I am absolutely speechless! I cannot take my eyes of the fourth icon! I love it!

I for one will definitely not be missing the live episode on Friday! I'm so excited not only because we are going to find out Archie's killer but the fact that it is a live episode makes it much more interesting... wonder if anyone will make a mistake. My prediction has been Grant all along. Hopefully I am right, I think it'll be really good to see him back as the killer! In a few episodes we've heard Grant mentioned where Peggy had wanted him to help them... maybe he helped them by murdering Archie? I think it was yesterdays (?) episode where we saw Phil answer the phone to him, perhaps a clue? I'll suppose we'll just have to wait until Friday but I pray that it is not Peggy.. I think that it will be far too obvious and I wouldn't be suprised at all!
