I really don't understand the hype with Charlie/Angelo either. I do feel like there's a desperation to portray them as the new golden couple but what's shown on screen doesn't suggest that at all...apart from the fact that they're doing the typical get together, break up, get together thing. It drives me insane. I don't see any chemistry between them at all and get so bored of their storylines constantly being work related and the same issues being talked about over and over. They might say the words "I love you" or "I need to be with you" but I don't actually feel any of that emotion in their portrayal of the characters and there's no evidence of them being suited...they don't trust each other, theyre not completely honest with each other etc. Even with Belle/Aden, I wasn't particularly bothered by them but I did understand why people liked them. With Changelo I'm just baffled - I think they're the most over-rated couple on the show in a really long time and it does seem like they're promoted a far amount more than what they're actually liked, from what I've seen.

Aww it's getting more and more complicated for Angelo and Charlie - I hope they can compromise soon! I felt sorry for Ruby to, knowing it was her that was causing problems between them. Great chapter look forward to the next one

Love this fic! It's brilliant how every chapter you reveal little secrets and I'm intrigued where it's going. Poor Xavier and poor Ruby I can see it's causing a lot of friction between Charlie and Angelo - I think he needs to be more sympathetic. Little Ben is so cute

Wohoo thank you so so much!

Loved this fic so much, I'm sad it's ended. I understand Tony was upset but Rachel was raped he can't be angry with her, so glad he came round in the end and the baby's his...well babies hehe so cute! Fabulous fic

Wow they are soo beautiful, thank you so much! I love how you've managed to blend all the colours together, particularly in the beach ones as their clothing all fits in with the sea in the background, it's gorgeous. I don't have a program that can crop them would you be able to post the 11th one so I can use it as my av if that's okay? I love the Im scared to live one as well, the colouring is just so bright and rich. Thank you

^^ Wow they are stunning! Can someone pretty please make me a Tachel/Harry av from Tuesday's episode when they're walking on the beach? And feel free to make any other Tachel or Tachel and Harry Thank you!!

Thank you for all the updates Dan and those involved!

Fantastic chapter Kirsty! It really made me choke up hearing Rachel talk over the abuse but I'm so happy she's finally spoken about it and I think it's lovely that Tony was the one who helped her do that. If he hadn't have been around I wonder if she'd have ever had the strength to leave. He was so caring towards her and I think it's really admirable that he was able to hold back his own anger and just be there to support her. Leah's little monologue bit was written so well, it's so realistic how a best friend would act and I think what she said had a part in helping Rachel to finally admit she needed help. She had to be cruel to be kind which was a huge risk but has payed off. I didn't expect it to be Emily confronting Mark, that was a fantastic twist! I think she's such a strong character to be able to confront him, it's kind of like she's trying to sort her life out before she dies. I'm really pleased she was able to not hurt him and just get justice the way she did, I just hope her and Michael manage to sort things out between them. So excited for the next chapter, to see how Rachel adjusts to life without Mark and if he even gets convicted which I hope he does! Please update soon!

I like Gina, I like that she's flawed, I like that she's not this perfect earth mother with perfect kids and actually makes mistakes herself. But I agree with Kirsty, I didn't like her attitude with John either; John would constantly bully Tony and make fun of him and while she'd say "you can't help it can you" she'd also laugh it off, proving that she wasn't that bothered by it. I wouldn't let anyone speak to my brother the way John speaks to Tony.

Finally a Tachel episode to talk about! I loved today's, they both act like such a normal, married couple with Tony being made to sleep on the couch I thought it was quite funny how when they both bumped into each other and things were originally tense because they'd been fighting but they were both still smirking about the situation and smiling at each other waiting for their apologies. I don't think Rachel really understands that shopping is not the most fun way for a guy to 'celebrate' something, especially shopping for furniture but I did think it was sweet how much she gushed about how proud she was of him. Still disappointed there was no Harry and I'm wondering why he was credited in it? It's good the way they try to make it look like he's there by having Rachel tending to him in the buggy but I would really like to see him, it's been over a month! There's no excuse really. Her totally exaggerating the situation by asking him how he'd tell Harry his story if he was in prison was funny but she was right in a way; him being a teacher and organising a fight with someone he hates is not a very good role model and he can't guarantee he's going to come out of it bruise and broken bone free. Looking forward to tomorrow and seeing how they resolve things seeing as they're back on non talking terms again. I am getting really tired of this boxing storyline; both John and Tony are acting like kids BUT I can see why Tony wants to fight him; he's just pushing it too far now and to constantly be teasing him is bullying. But if to see Tachel it needs to be the boxing storyline then I'm all for it. It was sweet the way Tony told him to keep his wife out of it when John tried insulting Rachel, I liked that even though he was angry with her he still defended her.

Those Rabbit ones are gorgeous, the colouring is amazing! I love the simplicity of your icons!

An update woo! It was so mean of you to leave us on that cliffhanger and then go on holiday for a month It really was worth the wait though I loved it all - Leah's reaction was very realistic and totally understandable I think that she would threaten Rachel like that. If she doesn't leave Mark after this then there's nothing any of them can do to help her anymore and it's a lot to expect them to watch her go through that pain. Tony was a complete sweetheart, I loved the way he was totally honest with her and was just there for her, putting his own anger, guilt etc feelings behind. Rachel breaking down was really heartbreaking and I'm pleased she opened up to Tony and finally admitted she was scared. I presume she's okay physically now but I think the mental damage is going to take a while to heal. Totally intrigued as to who has gone to confront Mark at the cliff - so exciting I can't wait to read!! It's nice Mark seems to have some sort of remorse but to me it still doesn't seem like it's enough to get him to change his ways. Please update soon

I loved that to, it was nice that even though she thought it was a stupid idea and told him he'd look like a grown man who should know better, she still did it in a lighthearted way and joked about it - until she realised he wasn't backing down and so instead decided to stop talking to him I loved Harry's timely giggle after she told him to tell his father she wasn't talking to him! I want to see Tony break through her barrier and get her talking to him to Karen. More comedy scenes between them please It was just a really nice change to see so much light hearted banter between them both with Rachel teasing Tony about the image of him and John fighting. She's had so many dramatic, full on storylines this past year that it's nice to see this other side of her. And that "I could take you both on" line was classic! Tony trying to steal the carrot on Thursday was funny to, she wasn't having any of it haha!
