I saw The Wrestler on Wednesday, fantastic movie although rather gruesome at times. Mickey Rourke is an amazing, amazing actor, played the character superbly. I saw 17 Again yesterday it was quite a good movie, some very LOL moments.

I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic yesterday, I loved it, Isla is hiliarous.

The Secret Life of Bees

^ I saw that (He's Just Not That Into You) as well, saw it this morning. I really enjoyed it, it was really good

I've seen it, the film was amazing! The film totally deserves it's 13 Oscar nominations! Brad Pitt , OMG he was incredible, his acting was brilliant.

I saw it on Sunday, it was a totally amazing, brilliant film. Yeah Kate and Leo were fantastic, very true- they were born to work together.

Yeah I received a fan card from Todd this morning also

I love your fic!! Is that Violet Affleck, cause she is such a cutie!

I saw Curious Case of Benjamin Button last Thursday, it is brilliant!

Maybe I missed some episode/scene but how/when did Aden emotionally blackmail Belle into keeping their ralationship going alongiside her relationship with Angelo? Um yeah what are you talking about it, RedRanger1? That never happened.

Sorry I was catching up on pages, read your post after I read and posted about the "we" one, I'm sorry. Please don't do mod preview.

Thank you

I vowed not to post anymore in the Belle/Aden, Aden and Belle threads as they make me too mad but this comment I couldn't help but say something. DON'T EVER group anybody but yourself in your opinions, I DO NOT think "shes just a cow" , I love Belle as a character and she is my most favourite character ever in the show (and I have been watching for about 8 years). :angry: Seriously don't use the word we

Yeah well done bailey4, I totally agree with you

Funny coincidence I was watching that ep on youtube today, I was looking for old Aden clips lol, I think it is 4529. It happened towards the end of 2007 about october/ november. PS. I don't think this is the right place for this thread.

Yeah it has calmed down, I've decided not do anymore posts on the Belle/Aden thread and do what most of the other Adelle fans are doing and stay away from this thread as it is too infuriating. I'll just be sticking to discussing them elsewhere. Anyways I hope all you guys have a really Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

I am a massive, massive fan of Adelle and I've loved Belle since forever and since the Adelle journey began I've grown really fond of Aden. I've read through the some comments and some points have really bugged me. Here's my take on some of them, they are no particular order and yes, I have exhibits: 1) Positive Effects To say Belle and Aden haven't had a positive effect on each other then you must have of been asleep while watching the past six months of episodes. Aden was in denial about the abuse he suffered, he didn't want to deal with it but as he really liked and cared about Belle and he really wanted to have a healthy and productive relationship with her, he knew he would have to deal with his problems so he began counseling and as result he was able to work through them and have sex with Belle and move forward with their relationship in a positive way. You can't really comment on the length of time he had counseling as it would be different for everybody in how long it takes for a person to get through problems. Also through this time when Belle knew the truth of the abuse she gave him the ultimate amount of support and allowed him to confide all in her . Exhibit A -6:42 to 9:48. From early on Belle also gently pushed Aden to try and fix his relationship with his father (something that should be a positive thing). Exhibit B -5:27 to 5:35. Exhibit C -3:21 to 3:30. Yes she should of probably of told him straight away when she saw he was drinking, she did make an error in judgment but she did tell him and realized it wasn't pushing to fixing his relationship that would be a positive effect, that he needed support and someone to confide, she became that person. Exhibit D 4:02 to 10:48. The kidnapping occurred because of Aden suffering a breakdown, his Dad basically caused him to crack and for the period of the “hostage” Aden become a totally different person, Belle knew for him to become himself again, admit what he did was wrong and get better he had to do it while he was single. Belle was still having a positive effect on Aden even when they had broken up, Aden didn't want people to judge him and he didn't want anyone that knew to speak of the abuse during the court case, Belle made him realize that to stop himself from going to prison he would have to speak of the abuse, which did save him from prison. Exhibit E -0:00 to 1:53 She then gently pushed him again to visit his dad and was very supportive. She knew he had to visit his dad to close that chapter in his life, yes Aden didn't completely choose the chapter it did help him move forward. Exhibit F -1:48 to 2:46 and 6:01 to 7:04. 2) Cheating on Angelo I don't really think I condone what Belle did to Angelo as Angelo did trust her but as her love and passion for Aden did overcome her, she got swept up in the moment and she decided to stop denying those feelings for Aden that never actually went away. She was only really ever with Angelo not because she was falling head of heals for him but because she wanted to try a "safe" (boring) relationship, she had been in two tumultuous relationships and she wanted to see if just plain old dating someone was going to work for her. She didn't string Angelo on to be selfish, she had honorable reasons and it was for something that was much bigger than the Adelle and Angelo triangle. Yes, people were dying and if she didn't solve the 'mystery' more people would of died. Maybe the best decision when thinking about Angelo would have been to tell straight away but she needed to uncover the whole toxic development mess. She did feel really guilty for what happened with Angelo and how he found out. Exhibit H -1:41 to 3:32 4) The Reunion Scene Someone a few days ago made out like Aden raped her, he did no such thing he just wanted Belle to stop denying the obvious feelings she had for him, plus there no doubt that the kiss which lead to more was two-sided, Belle went in for more a few times. Exhibit K -1:09 to- 2:41 5) Scene with Aden drunk in Belle's bedroom I honestly don't see the problem with this and she did already know him, spent time that same day at the hospital with him and she knew he was upset about his dad, she did tell him to sleep on the floor, he crawled into the bed, she did ask him to leave but they did end up sharing. They were just sharing a bed, it's not like they had a one-night stand. 6) Nicole How is she made to look good in this situation (the same episode as the scene I was discussing before). After Aden tried it on with her, she certainly didn't help the situation and she knew that he was upset about his dad and wasn't giving him any of the support he needed. Then after Belle and Aden got together she was acting like a jealous idiot. This being said, lately I have grown to really like Nicole, I think she is hilarious, I like the sibling relationship that has developed between her and Aden and that she is now being supportive of Belle and Aden relationship. 8) Popularity Do you think there maybe the latest results on different sites show that they are popular and liked: -Todd Lasance won Hottest TV Male of 2008 in TV Week , Jess Tovey won 2nd Hottest TV Female of 2008 and Adelle won Hottest TV Couple of 2008, (these were chosen by being voted by people they weren't chosen by the magazine). -Also over at HAAC Todd and Jess have taken out best actor and actress' awards for the year and best couple. So maybe they are quite a popular couple and to the thousands of people (in the TV Week poll) who voted for them and that they were able to realize just how great of a couple they are and that they do have chemistry. As I said before I love Adelle, I think that in HnA land they are 'meant to be', they have heaps of chemistry and they just fit as a couple. They both also share a deep trust in the other person which I think is healthy with both of their family situations. I do believe they have both made some stupid choices but that is one of the things that is good about their relationship, it is real and believable as who doesn't make mistakes. I've enjoyed watching the journey that they have undergone just to be together. I can't wait to see what the 09' season brings for Adelle, I hoping for little drama , lots of fluff and maybe a wedding or an Adelle baby/ babies. Overall I hope there is happy times ahead for the couple! ......end of long rant.

You sound very bitter about them so I don't think you'll ever actually want to change your opinion on them not matter what happens but a lot of things happen in the last four weeks. Maybe you should watch it before commenting, cause some comments are funny especially the Angelo one's to people who have already seen the last 4 weeks.

Just a question RedRanger and Slade, have you seen up to the season finale?

RedRanger -you could look at another way -that Adelle would do anything just to be together. Also how does Belle brings out the worst in Aden with the skank incident, he was hiding from something and at that time didn't want to tell her what it was until he reliased he could confide in her, I think Belle brought out the best of him then, by stopping him from hiding any longer and to deal with the issue and move forward. I personally love them as a couple and think they are great together, Belle did help Aden get through the abuse stuff and it looks like Aden is doing the same for her now with the PTSD.

Has anyone had success sending many fan cards in individual envelopes but then posting in one big one?
