Hello. Finally finished work and we have visitors so won't be around much for all this. I'm here in spirit anyway. Will try to have a catch up at some point.
LOL this is a hilarious read! Thanks for the link.
I think it might have been a bloke actually, IIRC?
All the rest.....QFT :sleep:
I couldn't resist reading the thread from when we met Johnny, it's so funny and touching, so much joy, yet also so strange to read as it's sad that we thought things would be on the up and they'd get more screentime. ..........:o
How do we know this? Has there been a mention? EE and I had a falling out about a year ago... we haven't spoken in a while.
Oh, I remember that. I was crushed. It worked out all right, I guess, though, on that front. Syed putting his wedding ring back on is still my number-one most loathed moment, though. The exit storyline was typical EE guff, but that was just unbelievably bad and pointless.
Yeah, like, the reveal was exceptionally bad and I was shocked because Preeya had never been anywhere near that level of bad before and I was anticipating a good performance. But when she came back, that sort of level of acting was typical, though nothing quite reached the levels of the RB eps. Tbf, I wouldn't be putting my heart and soul into the sort of crap she had to act out either.
no. no mention of this on the thread...just one of my little stories I shared with Zoet:D
edit: what I meant was no mention of watching strictly on EE, but chryed were mentioned
How do we know this? Has there been a mention? EE and I had a falling out about a year ago... we haven't spoken in a while.
Yep, there was a Chryed mention on EE this week. Monday I think. Mas telling Carol he was going to Birmingham to help Syed look after Yasmin, because Christian was off to do a job in Gran Canaria for a few weeks, and Amira wasn't around or sth...
Unsurprisingly, it was a Pete Lawson ep.
Bless Pete for giving us these little titbits of background info on our boys
Hello. Finally finished work and we have visitors so won't be around much for all this. I'm here in spirit anyway. Will try to have a catch up at some point.
Well, back in *coughApril2012cough* I posted a 100 Question Chryed Quiz for everyone...with some help from lots of you for epic questions, thank you!
A big thank you to so many of you for taking part!
I may or may not have got slightly distracted and never got around to posting the results :sleep: *whistles guiltily* , I'm sorry......so, Here they are!!
-Firstly, if you weren't here at the time, and fancy testing your Chryed knowledge....here's the link to the quiz questions.
-Or, have a try at it again maybe, to see how much you remember, 18 months later?! You could test yourself against your old score, below?
(/I know when I complied the results -eventually, I'd forgotten the answers to questions, and it was my d*mn quiz, ha! ).
So, on to the results!
(nb. all names are listed as you entered them, or chose to leave it blank. All scores collated from parts 1-10, or where parts were missing, these are shown).
Now, as 2012 was an Olympic year, lets have the top three results in Medal-winning positions....there are some seriously impressive scores out of 100 here!
Gold, Silver and Bronze - the top 3...Congratulations!
Gold: kqv, 97
Silver: Elphie, 93
Bronze: mt, 92
The Top 50 results -amazing scores!, and thank you all so much for taking part back then. Scores out of 100:
Top 30 Results, counting parts 1-9 only, so scores out of 90:
I know quite a few people were unable to submit part 10 (apologies, *shakes fist* at the software), so, for completeness, here are the Top 30 scores, when including parts 1-9 only (with part 10 discounted for everyone), to see any changes in results!..:

Yep, they got mentioned in Monday's ep, which suprisingly was written by Pete! They're in Brum, Mas was going to help Syed look after Yasmin because Christian had got some work in Gran Canaria.
Oh, i will never understand the logic of Syed putting his ring back on. It seemed a totally pointless and out of character event. I think it just reflected the times under BK really - no continuity and no real care for characters.
That is so what he is going to be doing, hugging a cushion with Christian's face on it.......
he has decided to record both and watch when again when Christian gets home............he may get a little emotional......watching his fav programmes with no Christian
Boys have a habit of hugging cushions, don't they... (and so do you).

Phew! Enjoy, I hope. Happy reminiscing. Thank you WFCTGIO! xx
Ps. now I'm well behind on your posts, a catch-up is needed, in time-honoured tradition...
Wow! I'd forgotten all about this! But I'll take 16th place. :sleep:
Although I am very tempted to go back and do it again - see if I score better or worse!
Thanks Meg.

Ah, cheers.
So they weren't together on their anniversary? Gutting.
I actually watched the wedding last week for the first time since the 'twist' spoilers broke last year. It's so, SO good, despite everything. Syed is so clearly lying, though, I don't know how I didn't see it. Totally not glowing with happiness without a hint of guilt or shame.
sidenote: the day before when he's with Danny, he tells Christian he was with Tanya. Tanya is stood across the room, which Christian points out. The guy who can't glance around a room before saying who he was with managed to go through with his wedding on a lie without a hint of it. *facepalm*
......is that what he actually looks like?! I just... oh my God. That storyline was such a farce. 'Is it hot in here?' 'It is now.' *chokes* Oh my God.
At least Danny was fit.
edit: I came third in that quiz. THIRD. What is the actual point. It's like 'yes, I'm a massive loser, but not quite good enough to win or come runner-up'. Worst position ever.
Thanks so much for all the awesome links, including Jenn, Starfish, Mads, Zoetje.
I have so many tabs open now -ahhh, just like old times! :sleep: Excited to read them
I can appreciate why some can't watch the NYD episodes but I must admit that I love them. I love the drama, the angst, the heartbreak. The writing, acting, direction, was all so brilliant, I love seeing it again. Chryed alone in the café, Zainab learning the truth, Syed desperate for his mother's love, Christian not being able to make himself stop the wedding and then kissing Syed and letting him go, it's soap opera, or tv drama in general, at its very best.
For all the crappy, ill-informed, poorly-researched, occasionally downright insulting articles we had to deal with over the years, here's a palette cleanser
I actually have to go out now (gutted because I'll be missing the first part of NHB's interview!) but I'll leave you with some links I have saved from past threads..
thank you:D Brillant. The complaint still makes me howl with laughter...really. Oh God the hours of endless amusment from that
: D that bastard Shane still has my Attitude mag:mad:
Oh Susan, this is true :mad:, I know I shouldn't lol , but it's just the way you said it..
So they weren't together on their anniversary? Gutting.
Pete, bless him, had this pointed out to him on twitter, and said, 'blimey is it that time already? #writerfail' so it wasn't intentional. He is just too lovely and funny for words.
There have been regular mentions on and off, and they seem to be happy.
If no-one asked NHB about wtf 'this is bad' 'so why does it feel so good?' is about, you should all be ASHAMED. :sleep: Especially because the rest of the episode was actually pretty decent, it just dove off a cliff quality-wise once Danny got involved. Almost like it was painfully OOC for Syed or something. Weird....
Seriously, though, thank you all so much for all your hard work. Going to watch in a bit.
edit: thanks Zoetjetoch and star.
Lol '#writerfail'. Yeah... don't know how you could possibly forget the date of a wedding for two characters who left nearly a year ago, when you write several episodes a year for dozens of characters. He should be ashamed. :mad:
I almost don't want to interrupt the hilarity, but a schedule is a schedule. :sleep:
HERE is the first part of our interview with Nick Hicks-Beach.
Camera by yours truly, questioning my MercuryPheonix and editing by Dessie.
Enjoy.
OMG - can't believe we've actually got this. Thanks to you and Mercs, and Dessie so much! *takes deep breath and prepares to watch* I'm quite nervous! :eek:........:D

I could see in the bit when they are talking before the wedding that Syed is almost wanting to tell Christian something, that he pauses for a moment.......he wanted to talk but could not get it out......
The wedding was beautiful and Syed meant every second of his vows..his love for Christian, the anxiety is gone, the nerves......the twist was a punch in the gut, it did not match up with his obvious joy at his marriage to Christian........but I was able to put it behind me, because it happened before the wedding and Syed meant his vows....I am good at ignoring the crap bits I don't like, EE gave me lots of practice at that:sleep:
