In the UK?
According to this….

Worth noting we're getting the Olympic Cliffhanger on a Friday despite the DoE's passing knocking the blocks out of sync.
I'm guessing given the erratic scheduling in Oz, the blocks become less relevant.
I thought it was a Wednesday? (8th Sept?)

No idea about a specific problem with 5star of late.
The main overall issue is that it is not in HD which Is just infuriating. I've noticed it's better on one of my TVs and dreadful on the other.
all the films and dramas they show on 5star too you'd think HD would be a must nowadays
Absolutely no issues with 5* for me. All working fine.
I have an HD tv but honestly, I can’t notice any difference. I don’t even watch any other HD channels deliberately over non HD and I never download in HD. I guess it’s just a personal thing. Maybe some people have sharper eyesight than others!

Yes, he had acute compartment syndrome - internal bleeding had caused the pressure to build in his leg to a very dangerous point.
There actually has been a death from compartment syndrome on the show before now - Charlie Nicholas back in 2000 (he was the guy that Gypsy had got involved with when they were in a car crash)
Didn’t Romeo also have it once? I can’t remember how or why he hurt his leg, but it rings a bell.

Well that was all kinds of bonkers!! No surgeon or OR available at a major hospital?? Nothing more than local anaesthetic?? Just get the patient’s best mate to hold him down while the doc performs minor surgery? I thought I was watching Dr Quinn, medical woman for a minute there.....
(As an aside - Tim Franklin does play the pained puppy exceptionally well!)

Please God let this finally be the end of this Robbo storyline. I’m not going to lie, I stopped watching regularly waaaay before Christmas and have sort of dipped in and out of the endless episodes recorded in my TV to see if I can be bothered to engage properly. I’ve caught up now and it was every bit as bad as I was expecting. Everything Red said is what I feel. Mason didn’t even get to die heroically on camera. It was just BANG....so yeah, that happened.....Sheet over face....bye.
Will I stick around for the new season? If Robbo dies in that crash and this is truly the end of it then maybe. I’ve never warmed to his character - nothing against the performance just the character and storylines have really not been my cup of tea. I do want to see Jade get her comeuppance so I’ll stick around for that.....assuming it happens!
(Oh, and don’t get me started on the “main character actress takes break from filming so let’s have her character disappear, probably kidnapped, for a while” shenanigans. AGAIN.)

Ross was even worse than Charlotte so I hardly think Colby killing Ross is worse than Josh killing Charlotte as both Ross and Charlotte deserved to die.
Josh killed Charlotte by accident and in self defence. So for me, Colby’s murder of Ross was waaaay worse. Josh’s actions after Charlotte’s death were reprehensible. Both storylines ruined characters for me and both made me stop watching.

To be honest, it's kind of weird. Most of the shows and movies I watch are action ones (such as 24 or the Punisher), where often enough the protagonists take the law into their own hands, and 99% of the time I find myself cheering for them. Yet, I don't for H&A when it unfortunately happens a lot, and it being a main reason why I've gone off Colby., which is weird since I defended a lot of his actions last year when he first showed up. I guess the main reason for the contrast is because for the other shows, most of the time, those protagonists have complex motivations or complex characters, as well as the fact we see some sort of realistic consequences for most of them, (the physiological affect can be seen for many anti-heroes, at least). I don't think that Colby has that appeal. When he first acted against the law, I was like "Okay. He has some good intentions, at least hopefully he learns from it and try and do a proper job as a cop and uphold the law for himself." But no, he keeps using it to his own advantage, even lying to his fiance, and things only work out for him for use of the plot. That's why it's hard for me to continue to like him. Also, the fact is that H&A is actually the first soap I watched in 2008, so I was expecting at least that it somewhat realistic (but still dramatic), but it's really gone off recently.
I totally agree. I’ve actually struggled to watch it since Colby killed Ross in cold blood. I really liked him when he first arrived too! I have it recorded and catch up in bits occasionally but mostly I just keep up with it here in the vain hope that the truth comes out and he has to face the consequences. I suspect it will only happen when he leaves.

Ben is it? Made me chuckle too.

That was in 2010 when Roo returned. She lied to Gina saying she received a letter from Martha, just so she herself could receive money. It wasn't really from Martha.
Ah, thanks. Not totally all in my head then!

As far as the characters know, they're still on the run: When Gina died, Roo and Xavier discussed the fact that they didn't even know how to contact Hugo and Martha to tell them.
Do I vaguely remember Roo getting something ( Christmas card? Birthday card?) in the post from Martha? Or is my head just making stuff up?

Am I the onlyone who don't see any problem with her?:P
I didn't like her when she was with Kyle....probably because I never liked Kyle! Apart from the "unqualified to teach music" music teacher thing (that I ranted about before) I don't really mind her now. There are certainly characters I dislike waaaay more.
-
He (admittedly only after being pushed to do so by Evie) reported the drug ring and nearly got himself and Kat killed because of it.
Red, we have both given up on this show over this storyline but for different reasons. I loved Josh but they turned him into someone he wasn't (in my view) and ruined his character. You hated Josh and see him getting away with stuff he shouldn't have. It's interesting to me because the writers have really ballsed this up by making opposite ends of the spectrum come to the same sad conclusion. We all know that on a show like this you can't please everyone but It takes some doing to alienate your viewers on both sides!
I'm planning to come back and take a look again when this storyline has finally aired in the UK. Whether I'll stay watching remains to be seen. If not, you'll probably find me in the pub at 6.30. I'll save a table.

But he, Andy and Kyle all discussed how much Charlotte knew about their various misdemeanours just before she was killed. They must have talked about Kyle's relationship with her. Even if Josh didn't know, why didn't Kyle just bring it up when Josh said "Phoebe?" Odd.
-
Continuity is having a field day. Phoebe was Kyle's last? What about Charlotte? Or is there some reason Josh wouldn't know about that? Or can't he remember? Suspicious.
-
I don't get what people like about Chris. He has no redeeming features as far as I'm concerned and him behaving like a three year old because someone dared to break up with him isn't making me change my mind.
I'm imagining a writers meeting going along the following lines..."We have a spare set. Never mind that someone they knew was murdered there, we can use it for Matt Maddy and Roo. Won't that just be hilarious?"
Josh, you know I love you but no. Just NO. You muppet.
Ricky, you know could try looking after Casey yourself once in a while. Maybe then you would notice when he's ill.
-
Agree with Red 100%. So far she has done nothing to make me a fan. I can't stand her or Hunter. I often end up fast forwarding their scenes at the moment. Sorry.
-
Oh well done Hunter. You poor, messed up, ickle kiddie. Give yourself a slap on the back. You finally managed to grow a pair and (half) confess your crimes. Now maybe YOU'LL go to prison for 10 years........I can but dream!

Yes, she's no one over here!

The writers remembered Skye exists.....oh thank God!
er.....how did she get in to Johns house? Key under the mat was it?
-
It's a miracle! Josh can see!! I can't say I'm surprised but I was really hoping they would do something more interesting with him learning to cope with being blind. What a stupid waste of a potentially good SL.
