BurgerPhone Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 I have watched 1988 to 1994 within a year and one thing I notice that happens almost every episode is one of the characters putting their foot in it and saying something they shouldn't. It is so annoying now as it is so obvious. Irene, Marilyn and Sam are the worst for it, especially Sam. I don't think a week goes by when Sam doesn't blurt out something he heard to someone else. Anyone else agree they over do this ?
Blaxland 89 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I totally agree with this. As much as I love the show this is a very lazy plot device. One of the only things that the show still does to this day. Sometime in the mid 00s Colleen was doing it practically every episode. Even in situations where realistically it would be so obvious you'd be saying the wrong thing.
sindikatas Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Well Sam can be excused, because him being a child he's not supposed to know that sometimes it is necessary to lie or keep secrets. But I have been really annoyed with Michael at one time when Luke told him to say anything to Tug about paying for him and yet as soon as he walks away, Michael tells Tug that he should be looking for a job really quickly. And then he doesn't understand what he's done wrong.
CaptainHulk Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah but Sam's a brat and his naughtiness can be dangerous (The Caravan Park Hose/Car incident, for example)
early years fan Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 I also find this aspect of the show quite annoying one scene you see someone confiding something "confidential" with someone, and they promise to keep it quiet and not tell anyone. Then the next scene, it is being discussed at the diner or alfs store with all and sundry, and next it is common knowledge in summer bay. I find myself shouting at the tv screen quite often "you weren't meant to tell anyone!" small town mentality and chinese whispers at its best, not the best place to keep a secret that's for sure.
sindikatas Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 Poor Celia, she was always copping for her gossips while in fact everybody gossiped.
Trudy Heine Posted November 27, 2015 Report Posted November 27, 2015 Mainly Colleen and now Chris, lol.
j.laur5 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Posted November 27, 2015 The thing with Colleen is didn't care if people didn't like what she was putting her nose into. Whereas Celia took things to heart a lot more than Colleen.
CaptainHulk Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Spoiler The 2011 lightning bolt was definitely a sign for Colleen!
