1995 Episode Discussion

Speaking of Lance, it was nice to see him get a mention via Marilyn although I didn't really like her calling him stupid. I mean he was, but she never saw him that way, and she's not the type of person to see people that way.

Well in 1989, Him, Her and Martin had the combined IQ of a box of Raisins!

Yes but everyone is judgemental form time to time.

Yeah, but just seemed out of character for her to call him stupid.

Anyway, in other news, I'm glad to see Chloe! I didn't get really get the vibe of Kristy Wright being nervous. Chloe's character is supposed to be chatty and awkward. I remember this from first time round, and being perplexed that these aspects of her personality are completely dropped when she comes back as a main character.

Speaking of things being dropped... Pippa's mum dying means we're due

Spoiler

a visit from Bert and a rather sensitive story about him starting to become forgetful and unable to look after himself - something which is completely dropped when he comes to look after the family during Pippa's coma next year.

Poor Maja. You just feel for the girl. Had this been the 2010s product, DOCS would be a little skeptical of Michael taking caring of her sans Pippa and her attachment to him.

This story would have been frowned upon if it was a modern storyline. Shows how the world has changed, after all Michael is just looking after her and doing right by the girl.

I agree Marilyn's comment about Lance seemed out of character. Seems weird how there are quite a few references to the past recently. I'm starting to wonder if Marilyn's return was prompted by the swift departure of Donna and maybe the writers wanted another 20-something female character?

Shane and Angel seem to only speak to Don when it suits them.

That Mr O'Reilly is a brilliant character  I'll never forget all the wallpaper at Don's falling off  So I was glad they brought him back and it made me laugh how he said he was off out for lunch and didn't come back until all the painting had been done

I really hope Curtis and Selina end soon, I half wish she'd got back with Nelson instead, Curtis and Shannon had more chemistry. Feel so bad for Jack

What's happened to Mr Fisher's house? We still haven't seen it. Not once. Ever since the wedding.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't enjoy Curtis sucking Selina.

Irene seemingly so convinced that O'Reilley is genuine because he has "the kindest eyes". errr........ Huh???? Eyes are either blue, brown, red, blind, open, closed,....... How can eyes be kind? Doesn't make sense. 

I just now remembered.

Spoiler

We do see the inside of his house in the wake of Mr Fisher's assault complaint, and when Max Richards fixes his aerial so he can watch SBS, and Max describes it as "foreign muck"

However I think Carly did love Ben.

That's what the Producers want you to think. Remember theirs is a fictional story for entertainment/escape purposes and not necessarily reality.

[CaptainHulk]

The one chemistry on this show you couldn't script was Pippa/Michael. Dennis wanted Debra EVERY bit as bad as she wanted him! ? (See the tail end of 1990 where they're like a couple awkward teens in certain scenes)

[dees189227]

Geez the makeup people did a good job on Shannon. She is pale as in todays episode. But I recall her going swimming and basically Angel saved her because she had no strength and nearly drowned. Is that coming up? 

Oh Curtis why didnt you get rid of that shirt months ago. I still thought Jack was going to get busted the other day when he was wearing it. 

Poor Nelson hasn't had a good time lately then angel spills the milkshake all over him. 

Mr O'Reilly was an interesting character. But can someone tell me how he managed to marry 2 ladies? Anyway glad Marilyn caught him out. Poor Irene but what did she expect. 

It's nice to see Marilyn and angel become good friends.

Of course it's real, Old H&A Fan.
