Todd Lasance/Aden Jeffries

[solaris]

Haha, speak for youself. I've always had a bit of a thing for Danny Zuko lol

Personally I'm not a John Travolta fan...ah well - sure it would be boring if we all liked the same type of looks

[PrincessNixie]

I don't see it myself either...

[Lise]

Can't say I'm a John Travolta fan...he's a bit old for me! BUT I do love Grease...has to be one of the best movies ever made! Can't say that I see the similarity either.

Can't wait for today's spoilers.

[xknomex]

OMG cant believe this thread was on the second page,

Todd has been really good recently. todays ep was great,

good to see some beach scenes again

i loved the look he gave Angelo while Belle was getting her stuff, genius

twill be intresting to see what he says to Belle now he saw her taking photos.

i also thought it was soooo sweet the way he was helping Ross, there was a time when he could of made things worse

[haylzee]

i so need to catch up on episodes.

[mk1diva]

the old Aden is back yay topless scenes on the beach the banter with belle and yes Todd was amazing yet again i dont think ive seen a scene where he hasnt been at his best yet....

[wrongturntaken]

Yeah, Todd was amazing yet again! I thought he looked kind of confused when he saw Belle taking the pictures of him...

Have you noticed that he's only been out of the clinic like a week, he's been in three episodes and he's taken his shirt off in two??

Not that i'm complaining...

The writers really do like him topless, probably becaues his audience does too! lol

[mk1diva]

maybe the writers are all young women and who would really blame them lol

yeah he did look confused, he probably thought he had no chance but now he thinks different and im hoping he'll go flirt with her and win her back aswell!!

Lately there has been quite a lot of discussion related to whether certain topics, mainly related to the Aden/Belle relationship, are being used for what they are intended for. After numerous unofficial warnings about spamming, SPAG and personal attacks, we have now given several members a final warning before we take further action against them (if they cross the line again). These members have been notified, and they have been made aware of why this has been done; on what grounds we've decided to step in; and what will happen if they still fail to follow our rules.

There have been made allegations that people are being punished or favoured because of their personal opinions, and although we feel no need to justify our decisions, as they are made by a whole team consisting of different people with different opinions; we do feel that there's no need to keep quiet to you about the facts.

- There have been many reports about members breaking our rules related to these discussions, and it is based on our perception of each individual case that we have decided to take action and issue warnings.

- The allegations have been made by both fans and those who don't like the Aden/Belle pairing, just like the decisions have been made by a team consisting of staff of equally different opinions.

- The main problem related to these discussions, although we have also noted other offences; is spamming.

- No allegations or complaints have formally been made to us about the number of Aden/Belle fan fics; this is purely a rumour. People are welcome to post as many Aden/Belle fics as they like.

- All members still have a right to express their opinion about Aden/Belle, and all other storylines for that matter. Nobody in the staff thinks any different, and allegations made by members about others' opinions, have like everything else been dealt with individually, and in the cases of the staff finding the allegations unfair, no action has been taken against the reported members. This has gone both ways, as we have had reports we have ruled erroneous from both fans and non-fans.

Like stated earlier, the main problem has been spamming, and in case there is still confusion about this, here's another explanation:

Spamming is when a member repeatedly posts short, useless posts either unrelated to the discussion, or that simply can't be seen as any contribution to an ongoing discussion. This being said, we're not saying that it's not okay to write "I love Aden and Belle!" etc., because that's not spamming. However, if your posts mainly just consists of that same sentence, or just various versions with the same bottom line, it is considered spamming. A short, not very in-depth post every now and then is okay, but many of you have been taking that way too far.

There have also been made allegations that staff are keeping an extra eye on the Aden/Belle fans. This is somewhat correct, but not really the full story. After numerous reports, complaints and disagreements, we have found it necessary to keep an extra eye on certain discussions, which again has lead to us finding it necessary to keep an extra eye on certain members. However, this has nothing to do with the fact that we allegedly somehow decided to "get" the people discussing Aden/Belle. When the problems seem to be in these threads, we keep an eye on them, regardless of what our personal opinions might be.

Lastly, as much as we hope that this can be over with this, and that we can go back to having good discussions about Aden/Belle, and Home&Away in general, we would like to make it clear that more warnings will be issued unless the situation in these threads improve significanty very soon. We recommend that everyone take a look at our rules. Some of you are still tiptoeing very close to the line, and we will keep monitoring the situation.

If you have any questions or anything else you would like to discuss regarding the situation, please contact a member of staff by PM, rather than carry out this discussion in this thread; and remember that the board rules also applies to PMs, and not just posts.

Thank you.

On behalf of the BttB staff,

Page 2, people! Page 2!!

So not on!!

Anyway, with the court case coming up this week and the Adelle reunion on the horizon (It's gonna happen!!! ), I was just thinking about whats gonna happen to the Aden character after all these storylines die down.

I really hope there's no danger that he'll just become another average 'nice guy' character. One of the main attractions of Aden is his abrasive, fiery, act now - think later kind of personality, and also the cocky, arrogant, in your face cheekiness that is so adorable and funny to watch, and I really don't want all of that to disappear!

I'm really hoping the writers maintain these character traits going forward as Todd plays both sides so well and its a pleasure to watch.

Any thoughts on this anyone???

Just to Add: I have a feeling this thread is gonna get a lot busier over the next few days with the Aden-centric episodes coming up!!
