My thoughts exactly, she is just the type I can't stand in real life, entitited, stupid and whiny! How people fall over themselves for these people in real life is insane, teaching nothing.

Tane's 'Derek' summation hjad me in hysterics...I thought the same! What a weirdo he was though, surely he would've been more Dana's type given her previous form. Mac clearly has no self-rerspect any more and for once Levi is right, there is nothing normal about this; I know the mordern attitude to marriage is treat it like a pasttime but it should mean something, things like honesty and fidelity seem to be foreign concepts. Mac is acting as if she's special, she isn't sadly, she's just another dime a dozen dolly bird that Levi's likely as not snagged before. I'm with Mali and Tane, yes, all for vacating at certain times of course, but not constantly.

I very much dislike Valerie's plying, I don't doubt Justin will notice at some point but Leah will whine because she thinks the sun shines out of Valerie's bum. Kirby was right to call it too. What you do with your own life and body is your business but don't turn someone else into a wreck just because you like being one. I feel for Bree in the grief department, it can turn you completely inside out and upside down but equally understand Remi, think Kirby put it best about them both trying so hard they were tripping over each other with it; good intentions clumsily executed.

What an evil indivdual Valerie is, plays the victim and manipulates good people absolutely no sympathy whatsoever. I think under normal circumstances Theo wouldn't be that stupid but sadly stress often breeds stupidity. Kirby is wise to Valerie already I think, she may not know the reason but knows the MO spot on, she needs to protect Lyrik as no-one else is in a position to right now.

I'm glad the boys tried to get Mackenzie to see sense...as for her screamy tantrum confession, as the saying goes give them enough rope... She doesn't really have the right to feel put out with Levi, she's the intruder as it were but also sadly, she's running away with the fact she thinks she's special and that he actually cares, sadly she's nothing of the kind in his eyes. She's easy to manipuate, good looking and willing but shiny new toys get old quick and I don't doubt he'd find a new woman lickety-split and she would be the only one left hurting and the boys would have to pick up the pieces. It shows what Levi's MO is really, pre-heart attack Mac would've had more self-respect and guts than to fall for his spiel but she's been freaked out, so easy prey. Tane admitting he gave into temptation, my earlier cake/diet analogy in action; I still maintain Flick was naive to think it would go anywhere else other than a release they both wanted at time, it didn't change what she'd done.

I didn't like him at the very start but he grew on me; I'll admit I still like him but in another sense I love strong male characters but also that he is kind of subverting the societal tropes too at the moment.

I know it's off topic but Happy Easter all!

What you said by the way about doc/hosp 'are you okay' thing! So true! Whenever you either go to see them or meet someone you know there it's always 'How are you?' 'Oh fine, thanks' yet 9/10 times you're there because you're the opposite! Mac, honey you are are a hypocrite of the highest order, don't ever spout sisterhood again! Really did feel sorry for Theo, it is so hard when you have family pulling you in different directions, glad he put himself out of it. Think Cash could regret his paddywack! Also felt sorry for Bree with her dad and glad she did explain to Remi, karmic feeling as I guessed. Tane reminded me of someone who's trying to lose weight...you know you shouldn't eat the chocolate cake but you take a slice and enjoy it anyways...the high soon comes crashing down and the regret sure as heck lasts longer as do the consequences! Flick is a bit naive though to think he'd fall back just because of one session, any woman can do what she did for him, it's no special talent and the fundamental flaws of deception, family etc. still stand. I think Roo is right in a sense, with big money you never trust anyone, as yes, they (the donor( could be using them as a cover to either store or dispose of ill-gotten gains and whether or not you know about it it's the receipient that pays the dues. My bet's on our resident delicate flower Banjo as he wants to impress Dana, a kind of Mrs. Robinson style crush perhaps and he's hoping she'll work it out and he might get a little something in return.

Xander very much deserved that apology, though I find his character a bit of a nothing, it has been wrong for Felicity to be such a B---h to him, there is sucha thing as professionalism but at least she has finally learnt it for now at least.

Something else that crossed my mind with Remi is; Levi might well be right about post-op pain but given at the beginnig of the injury he wasn't moved appropriately and I wonder if part of the added pain is nerves being might be compressed, strained etc as that kind of pain can be agonising as much as fractures and cuts, sometimes worse when you think of mifraine and toothaches.

I wonder if Bree's medical mania might subconciously be her thinking this is karma for her with Jacob as in 'This is the price I have to pay' (Not that she actually does of course.) Finally through the tears and tantrums and the foolishness of romantic attraction being mistaken for love, the honesty finally appeared in Tane and Felicity's marriage; the cracks were always there, Tane knew but didn't want to believe it and Felicity took responsibility for her deception being the straw that breaks the camel's back. Sad yes, but it was needed and the realisation was so well done, they know they are young enough to start again with the right people and they didn't hurt anyone else in the process. If only real life marriage splits could be as senisble eh, I know some are but a great many more are not. I hope he can repair things with Harper as he could do with another girl friend, given Mac being out of action through it all. I feel for Justin, it is incredibly difficult when you have that complete disconnect, not only with communication but sometimes with the person that you know, if that makes sense because when people have a mental/emotional crisis they can change and yes, he shouldn't break the rules but I can also understand his sadness at Marilyn being allowed.

Hehe, no I'm aware it would be too early for Stockholm Syndrome in the real world...but this H&A, people have been paralysed one week, walking the next. Haven't seen next ep yet but I loved that dress anyways! It's true that Mac's friend would in no way parade her but it can be how it feels, even though you know no-one means it. I think sometimes it's one of those things where you sometimes need to mention it gently to give people a split-second rethink.

I think Eden needs to trust her instincts with Levi but she desrves that apology; they don't need to be super close just play the game and let it drift off naturally then his ego isn't bruised and she doesn't lay herself open to getting hurt again. Cash was hard on her about that Mickey/Levi comparison, has he never heard of Stockholm Syndrome? Mac's anxiety is understandable but one word she said really stood out about the fundraiser 'Paraded' that hit home instantly. I know people meant and mean well when they say things like 'your fundraiser' or 'we want to use you to show the best outcome' but for the person who's got the problem if can be humiliating and can demoralise you by making you feel you're only of value because of your condition and sometimes it can feel like it defines you, which certainly doesn't help you recover psychologically.

I'm not sure if this is the place or not but according to Steven Weber's (he stars on the show) Instagram Luke is joining NBC's Chicago Med this year as a new doctor. I t will be interesting I think.

Happy Birthday BTTB and HUGE thanks to it's amazing staff!

Lovely to see another Tane story, you really capture his personality.

Whilst yes, every modern person is right, sadly people like myself don't have access to fast enough speed so sadly we lose out always but we are a meaningless I don't doubt these days. ?

Thanks Dan!

Hehe, I think I have some paint needing drying, personally would prefer Angie-era episodes! ?

Ooh, haven't done this in a while *goes off to vote* ?

Everyone's only just noticing? Frow has had it in for all Aussie soaps since the beginning! ?
