Yes he may have been behaving like a petulant child in recent weeks, but look at how his muscles glisten in the evening light. I wonder if there'll be anything else to remind people of how great he is before he gets to court... Jeez, and I thought Me and Pembie were the Real Chief Mockers on here! *snickers like Muttley* 1 Quote

Foellfan Posted July 6 Report Posted July 6 I enjoyed taiaha scene purely because I'm glad at any time to see any kind of Maori culture, actually any cultures than my own, every day's an education! As much as I have loathed Stevie, I thought the scene were well shot (pun not intended) and it does give you that sense of fear; equally, I think the fact they brought the stalker back is actually far more truthful, especially for people who work in TV/film it's sadly a very real threat often as, like with soaps, some 'fans' can't seperate fact from fiction and those lines become so blurred that chaos can ensue.

The fallout looks exciting in the way it's been filmed. Edited July 7 by Foellfan Quote

I didn’t know about Holly I thought last big thing to happen with her was jumping queue for the queen Kylie brought a song out about chillies lol Quote
H&Alover Posted July 7 Report Posted July 7 Well I didn't see Tana's talaha display as a transparent tactic to win over any wavering fans, but rather more of a release of his frustrations and fear.   He did seem a lot calmer after that and able to accept what may happen, he did insist Marshall tell him how long he could get.  Marshall is a very good lawyer.  Rose shut down Harper and Dana trying to talk to her about the case which she is quite correct about, but Roo had to have her say. Harper would I guess in the past been to trials before in her SW role either being there for people she's looking after or even given evidence for them. But for Dana it would be scary, she'll have Marshall cross examining her. Ari signed over his share of the ownership of the gym to Tane when he went into prison so he's only following family tradition, though it would have been Nik who should get it but as nothing has been heard/said of him since Tane rang him I guess he won't be making a reappearance. It does make sense therefore it would be Felicity.  That will surprise her and I think she'll be touched to think he trusts her enough to look after it. Tane does have Sonia on his side and you can't call her a fan as she doesn't know him at all and she certainly didn't have to give evidence on his behalf, she easily have told them to go and do one.  Yes definitely kiss of death moments when all those comments about having a good future from Remi and Stevie.  red flags and sirens sounding there too. Stevie may have been hard work at times, but we never really got to know 'her' which now we never will.  I had to  when Bree and Stevie were talking, obviously about him and he looked kinda worried but in fact Bree was warning Stevie not to hurt him.  Not giving anything away but we did see Bree working on Stevie.  The fact we knew something was going to happen did make it somewhat drawn out that it happened at the end. WTF were the cops who had Sydney Wickham in jail doing releasing him? They knew he was dangerous, he wasn't just throwing empty threats around, he had a gun, his place was seen with all those photos of Stevie.  He was to due to stand trial next week so why now? Cash didn't have to be glued to Stevie's side, she was surrounded by the crew, Remi was there and so in no danger. The moment he got that call he was off to reach her in time but Sydney was already there so didn't need to know where she was. Debateable point if Cash hadn't yelled out and she hadn't turned she wouldn't have been shot in the front but she could have been shot in the back, he already had her nicely lined up. How did he know where she was, was he allowed to watch TV while on remand?   1 Quote
