I love it too. She is clearly gorgeous, but really personable looking. I think she is bad news, but will have a change of heart.

I tried to like Tamara, but it's a shame she isn't being branched out on her own, and is so tied to Casey, ebcause I think together they are boring. I want to know more about her, but she mostly interacts with the Braxtons, and I just don't know what she is made of on her own.

Sasha is absolutely awesome. I love her fearless and fierce attitude when someone hurts her friends/loved ones. She is loyal to the bone. Her and Rosie's friendship is best thing to happen on the show in ages!

I don't get why everyone likes her. Not just the 2 brothers, but everyone seems to just adore her, and I don't get why. But I do think she is really pretty, prettyness just doesn't carry you very far if you have entitled personality.

I hope the writers now keep these two together, they do work as a couple, and could be a bit back burned if need be, or in their individual sl, just keep them together.

I'm just going to bring my Sasha fanclub over here. She is a pretty amazing character on her own, and I like the long term sl for her. It seems like Braxtons are just one big pile of rushed sl, so if that is the case, I hope they have a long term plan for Sasha.

I agree with Red's post. I see posts all the time saying that Indi is a horibble wife who only nags etc, but I just don't see that at all. Of course she has some choice words at times, but it isn't without a reason. Also, Romeo has been going after one dream after another, and has not been able to stick to one for a very long time. Also, it has been pointed out, that Indi shouldn't have married a surfer boy if she wanted a husband who would be near home. It can be turned around: Indi isn't hard to read, she isn't a dreamer, she wants a husband/partner/boyfriend who is actually there for her, she isn't a girl, who would follow a surfer around on tours, and never claimed to be. Regardless of this all, Romeo wanted to marry her, it was his idea, and he promised her the life she wanted.

I'm really liking Sasha. She seems like such a normal teen girl, who makes mistakes and learns from them. The actress is pretty good too, and obviously pretty.

Well, there is no Belle looming over anyone's head, because Belle pretty much gave Aden her blessing to move on whenever he was ready, and with whomever he wanted and felt right. I think the whole letter and Aden moving on has been done quite beautifully and respectfully. And the kind of person Belle ended up being, I would think she would prefer Aden to be happy and live the fullest, even if it meant falling for another girl. And to be honest, I am hoping Aden and Nicole will be written beautifully, as Adelle fans are not the only ones watching the show. There are viewers who would have wanted Aden and Nicole to have been explored a long time ago. However I am happy Nicole has got some rocking sl on her own, and has grown to be a strong and beautiful character.

IMHO Aden has grown to love Nicole a long time a go. At first he liked her because she was so spunky and hot. They were clearly attracted to each other physically, but there was more. Both were pretty broken at that time, and that connected them too. Their bond and relationship was never actually platonic completely, nor brotherly-sisterly bond. there was too much attraction for that. Then Aden and Belle happened. He fell in love with Belle, but he never stopped caringl for/loving Nicole either. They were always in each other's orbits, and sharing the same life experiences together made the bond stronger. This does not mean, that they were waiting for Belle to disappear. It just meant, that they were never going to be out of each others lives, and needed each other. Even Belle knew this. The only slight problem I personally have with Aden-Nicole relationship, is how much Aden relied on Nicole, and how much he took her for granted during Belle's illness, and after her death. I was totally disgusted at the way everyone treated Nicole before the wedding, and when Nicole refused to attend it if Belle didn't tell the truth about her illness. But the way Aden acted during Liam-Nicole re3lationship kind of made up for that. I am personally looking forward of what will come between these two, personally I've been waiting for a long time for Aden and Nicole to get togeter.

I just had to come here and say, that whatever people think about Aden-Nic, or Nicole's character atm, Tessa James has improved as an actress so much it is amazing. I didn't use to care for her acting, but now she owns the scenes most of the time, whatever emotion or sl is going on. I am hoping to see her for a long time in H&A, as Tessa is still relatively young (so she might not want to look for other acting jobs yet) and she is one of the reasons I keep still watching.

I like him aswell. I liked how he did his job, the legal ways unlike some unnamed police officers on the bay. Plus he was funny and different than others. Besides, him and Leah together were great.

I just had to come here and say, that I am extremely disappointed, how Geoff has developed on the show. I actually wasn't a fan of Geoff even before, but it made sense to have a character on the show, who portrayed different view points than other teens and held different, strong values. We had Geoff choosing the gf who held same kind of moral stand over "the hottie". We saw him struggle when Annie was questioning their beliefs. Then he got into a relationship with Nic, but insisted on not having sexual relationship, even though he had had sex with her already. After their break up, well next week he sleeps with the first girl he lays his eyes on, and now he cant wait to sleep with Ruby. No religion is being mentioned any more, no moral stands. It's like we have a totally different character on the show now. He broke up with Nic, because of the brach from his home farm, and what it stands for. Now I'd like him to present similar thing to Ruby, or it would have been nice to see similar issues being talked about with the pregnant girl. But no. It's like he never stood behind those vies or ideas I am sad they changed him so much, now he is no different to any other teens, and is actually kind of.. bland and boring.

Wow at all this Nicole hate. Yes, she has slept with a few guys. She has also gone through more than most of the SB recidents go through during their stay on the bay, and still has managed to be the sole support system to a few SB residents. Frstly, she was alone handling Belle and her secret, being her sole support system. She has tried to support Aiden having him verbally attack her multiple times just because. She was the only one who had any idea that something was wrong with Melody for a while and tried to help her out. Her dad just got arrested for armed robbery and is in prison. Her mom doesn't seem to care abit what goes on in her life, and the responsible adults in her life are just clueless. Oh yeah, her previous boyfriend just tried to kill her and a busload of people with a bomb. After all this, I get she uses sex as a way to get comfort, closeness and some feeling into her life. At least she is not cheating on anyone, nor hurting anyone but herself.

I don't post on these boards often, but I am so amazed at what has happened with Tessa/Nicole during her stay on H&A, that I had to post. As a character they have done great job with her. She is a complex, mixed up, confused young girl, who has lost nearly everything dear to her. She used to be the bad girl with a heart, who used hear appearance to get what she wanted, but she has quite learned, that usually she got just more troubles with that approach. With Trey we saw a bit of change. With Grady even more so. Previously she would have had no troubles flirting with Grady, but I think she has learned to value herself more than that. She is quite a support system in the teen group, but still she doesn't act too mature. She still has her spunk, and they allow her to fail miserably at times. As an actress she has grown to such a level, that I am in ave. She is still extremely young, but within her stay on the show she is now selling every scene she is in. When she first got on she was a bit over the top, and all over the place. Now she is such a collected actress, that I am wondering where she will end up, when she gets older. Her acting especially this year has been amazing, and she was a gem in Roman's exit story. Over all, I am so waiting to see more of her in this show, and I think the production team has realized they have quite a girl in their hands, and she will be getting more challenging s/l in the future. Can't wait!

I liked Nicole from the start, mostly because I kind of knew they would allow her to grow and mature to one of my favorites. I have been a bit scared they would turn her to a "too good" character, but there is the sneeky spark in her, still, as was shown in the "date for the formal" episode. I like her wittyness, and quick, smart remarks, and I like the fact, that if she fails, she takes the responsibility with her head held high. Also I like the fact, that she knows her own value, and she isn't goig to settle for less, than she deserves, not from anyone, not even Geoff, or her own mother.

Nicole I've actually always quite liked which may have something to do with her appearance but I think it's because they made sure that whenever she stepped out of line she always paid for it. This is one of the reasons I like Nicole a lot. She has been rebellious, she's been bad, she's done all wrong at times, but there hasn't been one time she hasn't been caught, and paid for her actions. Melody on the other hand doesn't seem to be able to do anything right.She tries to see her boyfriend after her mother orders them to split up and she's accused of being selfish and not caring about him.A boy tries to force himself on her and she's accused of overreacting and unfairly turning the town against him.(Whereas Aden's allowed to use him as a punchbag because...he's Aden.)She breaks off ties with the mother that treated her in an abusive fashion and she's criticised for not being fair towards her.Even when she feels guilt over the death of someone she didn't like, she's accused of being self-centred and making it all about her.And now that she really has gone off the rails, there seems to be a whole queue of people waiting to go "See?We told you.She's nasty." I have to agree with this part, what ever Melody does, it seems to be the wrong thing, whatever it is. But I think there is one reason behind this. IMO Melody doesn't seem very nice. Whereas Nicole and Aiden tend to have the nice bone in them, they just try to hide it. They seemed remorseful at times, and caring, even in their worst acts. But still I have not seen this in Melody. I think part of her upbringing force her to be selfish, and in need of a lot of support from others, but still, I have missed any KIND actions from her. The whole thing about not making allowances for anyone else's past is nonsense.As has been pointed out, Aden used his past as a legal defence for actions that were blatantly criminal.I know it's a little thing but last year Don Fisher tried to give Annie a detention for not doing her homework and Sally overruled him because of her home situation.And the reason Aden hated Geoff in the first place was Tony was giving him preferential treatment because of his background, picking him when he kept turning up to training late or not at all. Yes, I think everyone has used their past as an excuse for some of their actions, BUT there is a limit to it. This storyline ha gone on too long, I would have loved to see some change already. Some developement in her character, please. Having said that, I'm not too keen on this whole rebellion storyline.It seems to be the result of the same logic as Aden's breakdown:use the most extreme and overly dramatic way of showing that a character has problems.I'm hoping there's going to be a decent pay off and going from the rumours I've heard it does look as though the end's in sight. They seem to drag this Melody needing Geoff thing on too long. I'd love to see her character interacting with other people than Geoff and Nicole. Miles is supposed to be taking care of her now, and they are hardly ever in the same scenes together. I used to love the foster housing before, when the adults were interacting with the youth they were responsible for, but Miles is only in scenes with Roman and Kirsty. IMO Melody's character has had a lot of potential, but they have wasted some of it, and now she has just become a smileless boring third wheel.. BUT having said that, she seems to be a train wreck a sort of, atm, don't want to watch, afraid of the disaster which will happen with her, but can't look away either..

I think in a way Geoff is stringing both girls along, if after all the things Melody has done to try to break up Nicole and Geoff, he still agrees to go to the formal with her.. Maybe he is doing it unintentionally, but he is still giving false(?) hope for Melody, while expecting Nicole to keep up with him. IMO I see no difference in Nicole making a point intentionally trying to make Geoff jealous, while Geoff is "helping" his ex-girlfriend by taking her to a date.

I just love Rachel, her character i one of my favorites, and Amy is a great actress, a real treasure for H & A. Rachel is one character from the adult cast, who actually acts like a "normal" person. She is quite level headed, but can fail miserably as well. Yet, she rises from her fall with her head held high. I absolutely loved, how she chose to change her patterns, when she was "choosing" between Tony and Roman, I like the fact that she tries to redeem herself. Also a good familiar doctor is always handy in the show, so I hope they renew her contract soon, and I hope she want to stay on H&A.

I remember one time with Robbie all his loved ones sat him down, and gave him the hard love approach, how his acting and behavior was affecting the people around him. I am starting to feel, that they should approach Melody the same way. They should all sit down with her, and explain, how her manipulating people, being rude to her friends, when they are only trying to help her, lying to Miles, who had no reason to take her under his roof except his good will, will only backfire, and she will end up loosing this great opportunity, which has been handed to her. Obviously she is not happy, I have not seen her smile ONCE since she she started to act out. She is just acting like she has no responsibilities, and the people who really try to help her and support her, are out to hurt her. I've had it with her, she needs to be stopped before someone get hurt because of her.

Melody, Melody.. First and foremost they should focus on her and her going to therapy. That would be really interesting, and bring depth to her character, and make her more understandable as a character. Her situation is handled so unprofessionally, the adults around her are clueless with what to do with her. We see the adults telling her, that "I'm here if you ever want to talk", when the girl has been mentally abused probably all her life. She even stated, that she quit her counseling, and the reaction was Miles rolling his eyes... Now to me it seems as Miles, the only adult who seems to be caring for Melody, has NO IDEA what is happening in Melody's life. IMO Melody is not ready for this kind of "normal" teenage life, because of the lack of her social skills. She is very vulnerable to any kind of abuse, because she is not used to living like normal children or teenagers. Her well being is now handed to her friends, teenagers themselves, who are NOT prepared for this kind of responsibility. The only one who has any idea how to handle Melody now is Nicole. She is letting her make her own mistakes while watching her closely from the sidelines, ready to step in when needed. Teenager herself, with sort of abusive and difficult childhood. IMO Melody's character is very interesting, but with kind of bad writing, a lot is missing from her and her story line.
