Because I've been watching it on a loop pretty much since the episode on Monday, you'd think I'd be bored of it by now but nope!

True, it was part of the story, but not a very good one imo, since her character was merely a plot device stretched whenever they felt it necessary to move the story along more quickly (for example it would've been a bit of a pain if she'd said no to Syed's proposal and insisted they wait a few more months).

tbh, i don't blame people flirting with him. i tell you what, if i was in the same bar as marc/syed i'd do more than bloody flirt!

Syed in a gay bar + jealous Christian were on my 'need to see now' list. The potential for funny and adorable is just too much to handle. Lawson's writing it too, right? *dies at prospect*
I know and I think I'm pinning too many hopes that they made a set for this..they will want to use it to it's full potential..a night out with Tanya and Roxy on it's own makes me smile..transfer that to a gay bar and Syed trying to make an effort and I'm grinning like a loon.Oh to be in Pete Lawson's head! ![]() Quote:
Last night, when I was lying in bed, I was thinking about it, as you do, I realised what the point of Roxy telling Syed he needs to stop holding back spoilers was- it's obviously build-up to him going to the gay bar so he can be seen to not be 'holding back'. I still think it's stupid, but it's better now I know it's leading somewhere innocuous.

You see, I liked that. Shifted a very conventional and lazy device ('must insert girl to gay plot') away from 'victim' ideas and made it slightly more complex. But yes, as a plot device, it could only get so deep.
Christian will know what those men are like. 'Cos he was one. Brilliant. BIB 2 - It's potentially one of the best eps ever. |

![]() This makes me laugh and scared for him all at the same time. It does all sound rather perfect. I absolutely love the idea that Syed makes such an effort with something out of his comfort zone, and his effort at seeming or even actually being comfortable is so successful, Christian storms off in a huff. There's something amazing about that. LOL, same. Oh, Syed, when you're taking advice from Roxy Mitchell... just take a deep breath and reconsider, yeah? If Roxy does suggest going to a gay bar, then it's not exactly a bad idea, but if he's goes along with it because of something relationship expert Roxy said about his relationship... can he really be surprised when it all goes wrong? |

I seem to pop in live for 5 mins around 5 so am and always will be very vey behind and not really able to join in conversations (another reason I hadn't joined before) - but, thank you to everyone who greeted me yesterday, and hello to everyone everyone.
It's weird because I've so often imagined what I'd say on here - about all sorts and going way back. (Though got to keep it clean as using work computer.) I haven't got a clue where to start. Maybe last night is a good place (though a bit perverse when I joined in honour of Chyed-accepted-proposal-and-bed-scene-on-my-birthday - which of course I loved, but I'm late to the party as I was at my own, and wouldn't know where to start/stop). Last night did feel back to normal service - but service that would have been a treat a few months back. I tend to be relaxed about slightly OOC plot device behaviour, going with the whole 'well, it is a soap' approach. Loved Syed jumping to declare his love for 'that'. I watched it 3 times and every time laughed out loud at Zainab. And maybe oddly felt relief that she was back to her evil homphobic, crashing self. Personally, I found the S + Z scene on Monday really uncomfortable (especially the singing - but it looks as if that's just me), basically because I can't really get with the reconcilation on Z's terms and her complete blockheadedness about how blinkered and selfish she is. Other oddments: Afia's comments - though crass - seemed quite realistic to me. She is a fairly normal self-centred young(ish) person. Lots of people (me included I'm sure, and I'm not even youngish) go off on one based on their own world view when people mention things like children and marriage, oblivious to the reasons the person mentioned it in the first place. Having said that, I can assure you I'm not a huge fan of Afia, the character or the actor. Just indifferent to her. |

BIB 1 - Yeah it fascinates me in a morbid way......once in a while

They're gonna be on-location, right? Because I've just got this image in my head of them being on the R&R set, with a hand-written sign taped over the usual sign "Walford Gay Bar". If they're on location, they're not going to want to waste the effort, so hopefully there'll be a good amount of screentime.

I don't like being spoken about like I'm a f*ghag, frankly. I feel like a clapping seal to Daran, hysterically eager for all things gay nude. Yes Daran, but I like words too :sleep: It's also quite odd, and a tad hypocritical, as from what I see, his tweets are loaded with sex and superficiality. Which is fine, but don't turn your nose up and assume all the silly girls are the same! There seems an eeny dodgy sexism to some of his ideas and a basic lack of respect to people who literally pay his wages, and quite likely, were huge fans of the characters before he was heavily involved. Pete, on the other hand, genuinely seems to love the characters (beyond a pay packet) and therefore engaging with fans of them. I will always like Daran for giving us the bed scene though. I am, after all, a pervert.
I'm not sure about that either, even though he is romany (descent) like me ![]() He does seem to resent chryedians, but I'm not a girl so idk if it is sexism or what. I like more than sex and superficiality and I think the majority here do too... I don't know how he could think that it's all we like. Sometimes I barf a little when people on the thread say that chryed are 'cute' and squee and so forth, so I can see his point too... I do like a healthy disconnect from the audience for writers anyway, it isn't fanfic and they should write for the characters, not us. I do feel that bed scene was justified if waaaay overdue, and don't know how the hell they wrote a love story up to now with no bed whatsoever. Seems they had to go through a lot of reassuring the audience that they loved each other first. |

![]() I really want to know what the boys wear for their night out....../shallow :sleep: ![]() Pretty please? I just want to see Christian's reaction to Syed in the club dressed like that in front of these flirty pals. Obviously Christian would get this reaction too and no doubt Syed will feel insecure about that too but it will be good to see it the other way round this time.

Gay bar at the set of R&R, don't go there Steph
![]() I can see them fall over each other already! They have to be on location. It'll make it more real too and a nice change. ![]() If we have something like gay night at R&R, won't be happy. I don't like the club anyway. It hasn't been great since Sharon left. |

Glowbot did you listen to this I linked to on Monday about 'Mikey Walsh', a gyspy boy who left that life when he realised he was gay and couldn't fit the bare knuckle fighter mould his father wanted for him. It's an emotional listen, but well worth it.

I've been in clubs, the fact that they can get served for a drink in less than 15 minutes, can move without being elbowed in the face and can hear each other is totally unrealistic. And in London too? Pfft. |

Seems they had to go through a lot of reassuring the audience that they loved each other first. BIB1: I imagine he doesn't think any boys are big fans. If you think most girls watching are idiots, you probably block out the men. BIB2: I've never squeed or cuted in my life, and that's one issue with it - the generalisations. The other is that if you are a young girl, or just like to squee, it doesn't mean you should be spoken to with a lack of respect. You just like to squee. BIB3: I agree, but I think the two are linked. Writing well for the characters is writing for the fans. I don't like the idea Daran wrote the bed scene for us a) it's insulting b) it should go in only based on relevance to plot (it was, so all yum). BIB4: An alternative lifestyle couple have to enter the most conventional form of lifestyle (matrimony) before they get a bed scene. It's very 1950s. I like it :sleep: I have literally wasted my afternoon. No offense :sleep: And I'm now going to eat. Try and get through Wednesday night all. Just think. That two day wait is worse for Yusef. |
