Team Podie


Noooooooooo! Don't say that . TPTB might take him off the interview list and then we won't have any interviews from Johnny or Marc

*really going* xx

Not at all - bloody awful and ongoing.

Last gem - mother managed to LOCK the cupboard door on my new dryer and I have to PAY for someone to come out and remove the door to get it out.

And that's the only bit that's vaguely funny.

However, weather has been fab, and the place is beautiful - and it WILL BE FINE (she says cheerfully with fake grin plastered to head).

Thanks for asking Elphie darling

Hey, I have been lurking whilst doing some other embaressing research stuff on the net and watching One Tree Hill and catching up and am now all set for the spoilers!

Thanks for the link to SL Johnny interview, it will be sooo worth me buying all 3 soap mags tomorrow (even though I always buy all 3 regardless) for all 3 Johnny interviews and Chryed stuff!

Me?? Don't know what gives you that idea :sleep:
/innocent

Hi to everyone arriving and bye to everyone going xx

I can't wait for the spoilers, hopefully they'll cheer some people up!

I'll live

My dongle is fine - my daughter's won't let her have all her favourint fictions.

Internet (slow as old moses, apparantly - not til' the 25th

I'm grateful for the dongle.

Aawwww sorry it's been so tough hun Hope things get better really soon (((hugs))))

Hi Rhumba, hope the move went well

I get what you're saying about Syed not fully accepting himself as a gay man if he can't accept himself as a gay father as well, but like mt says, it's the wording of it that bothers me. For someone like Syed, coming to terms with his sexuality was such a long and torturous process and it didn't end when he chose to be with Christian. That was a huge step and showed that essentially he has come to terms with being gay, but it was still just the first step to fully accepting who he is. As he said to Christian "I need to be proud of who I am", which I always understood as him having accepted himself as a gay man, but still being unsure about what that actually meant, what the reality of living as an openly gay man would entail for him. He was taking a giant leap into the unknown and it was still very much a learning curve for him. And what really upsets me is that he asked for Christian's help, and Christian promised to do just that, and here we are a year down the line and instead of supporting and encouraging Syed, being proud of how far he's come, we have Christian bulldozing and emotionally blackmailing him into something he's not ready for. Even during the affair period, Christian was never this pushy and self-absorbed, the opposite in fact I hate what they're doing to him with this baby nonsense

I can't decide whether or not to go to Newcastle tomorrow and do some background reading for my dissertation :sleep:

Just put in a full head of rollers to pass the time before spoilers and its still half a hour to go.. :O

Guess I shall have to go and find more fics to read

Well thank goodness for that - I would not be happy if I couldn't get my smutty fic!!

I'm sorry your move has been tough Rhumba. I'm glad the place is going to be nice in the end .

I hear rumours that you're a writer too...??

Here ya go x

I've just been and looked at the fics and might start some again out of them again now xxx

Hi all. Justhere for spoilers and reading a bit. Could it be that they do not explain the desire for a baby because they feel it is just a cultural norm?they think that everyone wants babies so it goes without saying that Christian would too so no need to explain. Thinking about it,they do seem only to put effort into explaining whynsomeone doesn't want them!

Evening all, and welcome back vf (brilliant post btw)

What are TPTB playing at? Ok, they want to do a gay adoption sl, fine. I've always said I'd love to see Christian and Syed become parents and even though I would have preferrred them to wait at least another 6 months or a year, I can accept that soaps move at a much faster pace than real life, so I can overlook the timing issue and at a push I can accept that we'll never get a proper reason why Christian wants kids so desperately all of a sudden. It wouldn't have hurt to have a 40 second scene offering some sort of explanation, but ok, I can just about accept from the Amy sl that he's always wanted kids but just forgot all about it until NYD 2011. But for Christian to put his need to have children before his relationship with Syed, I'm sorry, I just can't buy that. It goes against everything that happened between that first kiss two years ago and the reunion last year and makes a mockery of the epic love story that is Chryed. And what makes me so angry is that there's no need for it. They could still have done the adoption sl without calling into question the strength of Christian's love for Syed. There's plenty of draaaama to milk from it by having Syed actually voicing his doubts about it, bringing up the religious aspect of it all, which hasn't even been mentioned. There's plenty of scope for conflict, and even a temporary split, in fact they could do it exactly as it sounds from the spoilers, but just leave out the bit about Christian being willing to sacrifice his relationship with Syed for a child. They could just as easily have Christian agreeing to drop the adoption if it's not what Syed wants and Syed then coming round to the idea, so it would be what they both want. It would make no difference to the eventual outcome of the adoption sl, so why destroy everything Chryed stands for in the process?[/quote]

Indeed I am! Are you?

My nice, depressing Chryed fiction! (definitely just added Chryed to my computers dictionary)

What I'm hoping with this interview is that they said after a trip to the supermarket didn't they? I think so, I can't check now..so maybe it was like when you get back and you're unpacking the car and the phone goes and you're worried about your frozens especially on a hot day and that's why it came out so badly and hopefully re some parts not entirely accurately? Because his ice cream was melting and he rushed it?

I presume they'd make an appointment for a phone interview but maybe it was a really busy day in Sansbury's and Johnny was late back.

Or the person that answered the phone was his cleaner and she's/he's a corrie fan (with a deep voice if she's a she) who doesn't like that AC and his bloke are rubbish compared to our guys and was trying to even up the score?

sorry for the disappearing act - I was ordered on about a million and one jobs for my mother!
I'm back... and just in time for spoilers... not sure whether to be or *worried smiley* about this though! Lol.

Love the new gifs indehed!
