Tut tut tut, that naughty Ric. I admit I know what this storyline is going to be vaguely about [as I've read spoilers], but not the exact way its going to pan out. I feel sorry for Matilda, she must have guessed that he was hiding something by his overreaction. If someone says 'who's that text from?' you shouldn't answer 'I'm not having an affair with them' :lol:

What happens if you don't tick the box saying 'save a copy in my sent box' when you send a PM? Is there a way to see what messages you've sent people if you forget to tick it? Or can I set it to save a message by default? I also had a problem with saving an unsent message- twice!! It was lost and I had to keep writing it and trying to save it, but gave up in the end

Another sad episode...! The Campbells have had some good storylines during their time on H & A. When they first came along, I thought they were pointless characters and they all over-acted, but I've got to like them. I'm glad Geoff and Annie weren't alone today, but had Martha, Michael and Lucas to look after them when their Pop died I did laugh yesterday tho when Geoff said he wasn't going to be a footballer, but train to be a minister instead- the look on Tony's face!

Yes, I thought I saw him. He must have been upgraded to Permanent Cast [big pay rise I expect :whistle:]

Mm, but That Lewis Character looks like he's just using her She really wants a Relationship, doesn't she? I don't think she's heartless enough to have casual affairs. I'm glad everyone made a big fuss of Annie and looked after her, after everyone rejected her yesterday Oh well, if Lucas doesn't fancy her, she's always got Rory to turn to :lol:

Yay! Its back. I started getting withdrawal symptoms yesterday, how sad am I. Its been nice to have a break though. Anyway, that poor Annie! I thought it was a really stupid idea making Lucas her tutor when it was decided all those weeks ago. I can't remember who thought it was a good idea [Fisher? Brad?] but honestly!! There is Annie, the innocent, sheltered young girl who hasn't really met any boys, and they make an 18 year old boy her tutor! She was bound to fall madly in love with him and get her heart broken. It would have been better for Annie to have a female tutor, or an adult. And another thing, poor old Lucas has been studying for his HSC for ages, he probably didn't have time to do tutoring as well. What a stupid decision. Rant over I thought the scenes between Drew and Jazz were actually quite touching. Their family just seem to be the sort of people who can't help hurting each other. And I'd forgotten about the awful Tam, being so bitchy to Annie. I hope Geoff finds out it was all her fault that Annie ran off, and casts her aside like an old sock Oh and another thing: Dr Armstrong, you naughty girl But she does deserve a bit of Lerve, after all she's been through.

Thanks for that QA I'm always worrying that I'll either slip into 'terribly posh Englishness' or 'fake stereotyped Australianisms' You lot are giving me ideas for new stories: what if Tony Holden had a much younger girlfriend who became his wife? [a girlfriend who wasn't Lucas' girlfriend as well I mean ] If it was a woman the same age as Jack? How would Jack and Lucas cope with a younger stepmum? Anyway, I've written a bit more of Lookalike, but it might be my last for a while as I go back to work tomorrow

Hi and thanks again to 'my readers' I do need some help actually. I find it hard to know how to make the characters dialogue sound Australian. Do you think some Australian readers could help me make it sound less English? I asked this on another forum about American- English translations and got into terrible trouble, so no racial offence meant

Gosh, I'm going to get so big headed soon Yes, I thought Rachel should have told Kit what she thought of her, Rachel is too nice and diplomatic sometimes. Anyway, I'll post the next episode as soon as I can [i haven't finished it yet!] cos you are all being so encouraging

Don't worry Mrs B, Rachel's life will go on the up soon. I thought I'd put that episode with a sad ending as 2007 draws to a close, so 2008 will start with a happier one

Its foggy and looks like rain. Forecast says it'll rain on Christmas day . I like it better sunny and frosty like it has been for the last week- that is more Christmassy, but rain isn't

Well, I'd thought that Ceri was tall and blond, in a muscly surfer type way [also a bit like Kim], so I'm trying NOT to picture Gethin, unfortunately

Yes, Skykat, I've decided that Ceri is actually Welsh, not Australian. If Gethin had not appeared on SCD, Ceri would probably have been Australian

Thanks for your nice comments, very very much appreciated. I'll post the next episode when I get a chance. The trouble is that in my head, Ceri is turning into Gethin [from Strictly Come Dancing]!?! :lol: He'll be Tangoing around any time now

I think Rory is starting to be a teenager early, he was chatting up Annie the other day, now Tam Trouble in store for Jack and Sam

All I can say about tonight's episode [as it is now past my bedtime and I don't want to write much] is... 'Michael' ????!!!!!???? What is that man up to?

That was quick! I like Martha better now she's been through a few problems, but she does get on my nerves!! I'm sick of the whole Sam-Jack-Martha thing now TBH

Hm, I was disappointed in tonights episode. I don't like Jack and Martha, and I can't see Jack and Sam having a good relationship, Jack is such a baby. And when I saw Jonah [for it was he indeed ], I thought 'oh no, they are resorting to bringing back old characters to liven the series up- always a bad sign'

Glad to see you all Yes, I felt sorrier for Lucas than Geoff- I'm sure he's not dead or anything. I think it was a bit extreme of Brad to run Geoff over just because he'd argued with him about Annie's work :whistle: :whistle: :lol: [to show I'm joking]

Am I the only one who watches Five Life episodes? I'm just amazed and annoyed by the cliff hanger today- and now I'll have to wait til Tuesday to see the outcome, cos I work on Mon. evenings! Have to say though, I thought Lucas was quite restrained when he saw what had happened to his novel, I thought he'd be much angrier.

Thanks dremer. I must have missed the weeks/months when all that happened. I'd no idea that Martha was the daughter of Roo!!!! I still wonder who Ric's parents were tho.

Who are Martha and Ric's parents? I know Alf is their grandad but I missed the episodes when they came along to tell him they were his grandchildren

But I think Drew was falling for the 'nice mummy act' after all this time, poor boy
