swfc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Hey Chris and Rabs! They were only in 2 and a half minutes worth of footage from what I remember. I need to find that episode again, I lost it damnit! 2 and a half minutes? That's nuts. It really is. I don't think DB planned this very well. Heck, I don't think he planned the whole second stalker storyline very well at all. In fact, he completely ruined it. He would've redeemed himself if he did indeed filmed that episode of the explanation but....
Oxidizer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 I can't agree more. He cared more about what ratings she was going to bring rather than her character. DB and his crew had a lot of time to plan and write for Zoe (and Tracey for that matter), there's no excuse at all for it! Fair enough, it was pretty good for the first half, then afterwards, I don't know, it just ended tediously. I wish they actually showed Zoe doing the breakin-in and planting the fake bomb in Peter's flat etc. and then the guessing game could've been "who's the stalker's accomplice?" - they couldn't even do that right! Zoe and Tracey should've had a lot more scenes together and at least a couple of episodes being evil. I'm so pissed off that they missed out on so many awesome opportunities.
swfc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 He cared more about what ratings she was going to bring rather than her character. I think he thought, 'Oh, the stalker storyline gave huge ratings to the show. Let's bring her back.' I wish they actually showed Zoe doing the breakin-in and planting the fake bomb in Peter's flat etc. and then the guessing game could've been "who's the stalker's accomplice?" - they couldn't even do that right! They did that the last time round, why can't they do it again? Oh, wait, forgot, Time constraint. DB and his crew had a lot of time to plan and write for Zoe (and Tracey for that matter), there's no excuse at all for it! He didn't plan it very well. He just wanted to bring Emily back to boost his ratings. So, he didn't care if Emily had little showtime at all. To him, the return of the stalker would make people tune in everyday so that they wouldn't miss a single episode just in case they missed something important.
Oxidizer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 I agree with everything you said Chris! Damn, I remember seeing that pic of Curly!Zoe and Brunette!Zoe with it saying "Look at her now!" - I was so hyped and everything, I wish they had Maxine Trood in more episodes!
swfc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Maxine Trood. Okay, another topic for discussion after re run out of gas bagging about DB and his crew: Imagine if Peter met Maxine Trood. Would he recognize her as Zoe or would he be that dumb [eventho it pains me to say it] to not know who she is and think of her as his neighbour? Did that even make sense? Back to the topic: You know, he put Tracey in for 8 episodes and I think Zoe in for less than that. You think he was trying to tell us something? I loved Zoe at the abbatoir when she was taunting Peter. She was just amazing.
Oxidizer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Totally. I don't think Peter wouldn't noticed Maxine Trood was Zoe unless she talked - but I reckon he'd glance over at her a few times if they passed in the street. And I just realised Tracey was in more episodes than Zoe! As much as I love Tracey, that's just awful! Ah well, least we know what she was really up to after work.
swfc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 It would have been awesome if they showed Tracey going over to Zoe's apartment at nights and poor Peter not knowing anything.
Oxidizer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Especially if Zoe and Tracey had sex in Peter's bed.
swfc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 OMG! So true!!!! That would've been the perfect revenge! You know, they should've filmed it and showed it to Peter. That would have been like so cool. But, that would mean Peter finding out that Tracey was the accomplice. Unless they didn't gate crash the reception and then at the wedding send the tape and then Peter would panic and go after them and by that time, they would've escaped. And then Peter finds them at the police station or at the abbatoir and that would have been a way much more better ending. P/S: Sorry for my rant! I got really excited!
Oxidizer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 lol, rant's are always good! It would've been even better if their final revenge was after the explosion, and they sent their home-made videos to Peter's memoral service, so that they'd watch it, thinking it was Peter stuff (like JM engagement party) and saw them screwing. Great way to leave the door open for their return too!
