Mistified

^ Excellent! Great work too by Quiet Achiever!

Thanks for the new location update. I wasn't back watching back then unfortunately so it's not a location or storyline that I'm familar with.

^ I think Marilyn's return is realistic. It ties in with all that Alf has always said about the Bay, and Sally too when she was leaving, that the Bay is always home and that it spellbinds people. Marilyn explained too that she felt drawn back to it.

We need to drag this one back on topic guys. So, what do you think we will see with Mazza now that she's back? What is her secret that she alluded to over dinner with Alf? She said that a few things had happened to her and she didn't want to talk about them. Is she a runaway bride or something?

I hate to stray off topic (again!) but when was the "Golden Era"?

That would have been Chas, they weren't exactly the best of friends. Thanks! I must admit, it's not a a show I like but did go through a phase of watching it about 5 years ago.

I'm really liking Justin, and the actor too. Something very natural and honest about the way he portrayals the character. There is no big drama or angst for a change, which is refreshing in a new character. I hope he sticks around and is not just a short-term guest.

Did people see Emily's interview on Sunrise? It is up on the official site. I had to laugh at her description of Emmerdale. I don't think I ever saw Louise interact with a sheep all the time she was on it! Also her comment on it sometimes being minus 4 degrees! It seems so normal to me to be going to work in minus 4 temperatures, but it must have been hard for her, being from Australia. I love how she has slipped back into the character of Marilyn. There is no hint of Louise Appleton in it, and there was no hint of Marilyn in Louise either. I only make the point because Marilyn is such a distinctive character that I would have thought it tricky to pick her up after such a long time. What a great actress! Do you remember on Emmerdale she used to be called "Skippy"? I can't remember who by now...probably Viv. I love how UK soaps can get away with being non-pc.

^ Cheers Dan!

Haha! Just reading all the replies now, since my post on 12 March, and I am sorry I said anything I love them together PRECISELY because they are pretty and lovable, and I couldn't give a toss how few dimensions Angelo might have to his character! It's the same reason I adored Jack and Martha. I rely on Eastenders for my "soap character development" fix. H&A serves other purposes for me: 1) It's always sunny (which when you live in Ireland, seeing sunshine, albeit on TV is a huge factor in the enjoyment of the day); 2) it has such an idealistic view on love, life and redemption and; 3) It is total and utter escapism for 22 minutes a day! Bliss!

Do people think they will find their way back to each other?

Thanks Dan. I really like the look of the Pier Diner too. It does make more sense to have it reflect the shape and aspect of the real thing.

^^ Interesting teaser avatar Dan...

^ More likely the latter, or perhaps the day they had scheduled to film just didn't suit the parish.

^ Interesting! Thanks for that. No shortage of churches in the area anyway, it seems.

^ Sorry for double posting, but I am now about to raise a new topic! I hope this won't be considered a spoiler, but on the official site there is a picture of Geoff entering a Church. It didn't look familiar to me from the position of the door, so I looked up the location section. It seems that this Chuch might be a different one to the two previously used for St. James' church. Am I correct? If so, where is this new one? Thanks.

^ Thanks Dan. Will head off to read them now.

^ Thanks Dan.

Seriously!? Ah that's nice. Reminds me of my honeymoon Symphony, It's a raised monorail thingie really, more than a tram. It goes right past some of the 3rd floor bedroom windows of the Holiday Inn. Thankfully we were on the 5th so didn't have commuters looking in our window. Mind you, I wouldn't have minded Luke Jacobz looking in my bedroom window...

Yep, I recognised it in fact as we stayed in the Holiday Inn there last year. I called my husband in to watch as we were so excited to see somewhere so familar on screen. We were also on Palm Beach but the novelty of seeing that on screen has worn off now

^ Sorry, but why would you send letters to the show for two people who no longer work there? Why not send them to their agents?

I've just been on the main site - congratulations on your birthday!!

I was interested to see the locations of the pubs Sorry if I didn't express it in here though. I really like those Sydney locations as I am always interested to see if I know the areas. Thanks again for all the updates.

^Well done and thanks!
