Its a good combo.... they have a spark there...some personality traits in common.... a bit like Aden and Belle in a way... I like them. I enjoyed little Irene at school.. bet she was a real handful too... I like that Barry is able to be the shoulder .... and think he does too. I'm curious as to how Dani and Will evolve.... she was such a diva.... and he was so cocky from what I remember of him.... a bit dim too as I recall

Another great chapter ILM, I love the way you use flash backs to illustrate where the characters are at, it is so effective. The characters are so well described and portrayed, I can see and hear them.

That was amazing, you know how to tear the guts out of your readers, and it was really well done . I liked how you drew the parallel with Irene and Gypsy staying there as well. Human beings can be absolute bastards some times. That was a shock ending and it really affected me because it was totally unexpected.

The 1st and 2nd places in our Most Popular Character poll have now been added, together with a lovely comment on the results from the Seven Network's Executive Script Producer the legendary Bevan Lee..... be sure to check it out. Thanks to everyone who voted, and off course to Ryan for all his hard work on this feature.

Thank you... that was worth waiting for. I have added it to my list of regular reads... so be prepared to be nagged! I liked the juxtaposition of the different scenes and locations, with the different characters facing different crises/dramas... it was very effective. The flashback scenes were also very good and helped to illustrate where the characters are today. I am looking forward to the next installment.

I like it. You write really well. Interesting mix of ideas and characters. It works on a lot of different levels. I am looking forward to reading the next installments.

Eduardo Bearo is the bear whom Kane gave to Kirsty..... he was an absolute scene stealer... and he is famous on these boards for the writing of his best selling memoirs... for winning the best supporting actor in the BttB Oscars in 2004... against some very stiff competition...... and is now believed to be in Hollywood.

Happy Birthday to Lynne McGranger, 55, Eduardo Bearo , 9 , and Isobel Lucas, 23, all of whom have a birthday today.

LOL... I did not do much... except nag .. as usual... A big thank you to all those who contributed... some of the memorial book entries made me feel quite weepy... especially when I tried imagining them being read by the character. I hope that our members liked it... and would be interested in their comments...as a lot of thought went into it.

emmasi has written probably the longest and most detailed character profile that BttB has ever seen:P No prizes for guessing the subject. The character profiles are really great guys. Thanks for all the hard work you have put into them.
