I've met Marc twice now but tomorrow shall be my first Johnny experience and I can't wait for it!
Anyway, I was just thinking the day how much I miss Chryed's chemistry. When you look at the current pairings on EE and how void they are of any chemistry :sleep:, I really miss the passion from Chryed all the more. Marc and Johnny just clicked. They had that onscreen magic, which is so hard to find these days on TV. I miss the opportunity Chryed gave me to procrastinate that's for sure. :sleep: And, yeah re: crappy current couples on EE. I've been forced to watch an unacceptable amount of EE over Christmas (i.e.: any) and the only couples that are decent are the ones that pre-date Christian and Syed: Max/Tanya and Zainab/Masood. Though, for me, Max/Tanya has run its course and Zainab/Masood has never been the same since the Yusef stuff, the actors are still fab together. Quote:
mt - I read your post and agree so much with it. That is what hurts me the most too, and what still makes my blood boil when I think about it; they couldn't even be bothered to DO anything properly with the story. They did all that to them, to their characterisation, to their story and it was basically for absolutely nothing?? OK then... Have I told you how glad I am that they are all (all four of them :sleep out of there? Yeah, I absolutely LOVED their wedding and was sad that Johnny and Marc were going after that because they'd really shown their worth in that episode- they were so, so good- and then that twist happened and I was like 'oh thank GOD they're leaving, I couldn't handle another six months or whatever of this level of storytelling'. So, thanks, EE, I guess?? :sleep: |

Also wanted to say lovebites (and anyone else who has more or less left WFCTGIO) that I totally understand that it doesn't feel the same any more and that you don't feel like being here anymore.
Myself, I just can't help popping by, though, I still love this place and everyone who posts or have posted here while I've been here so much... Am really curious to read the surveyresults (but still, no pressure in doing them, Dessie, I don't mind waiting for them!) And I will do the new survey too. Soon, I'll try to this weekend, but might not make it. Though I have to admit, I made so many embarrasing mistakes writing my answers... Not in the actual scenes (I think...) but in "describing" them; of course it wasn't Tam and Afias mehndi but their engagement party where Tam said that about his brother and his boyfriend, the convo between Syed and Mas I meant wasn't ON BF but the ep before (the same as the Christian/Zainab talk/row in the flat), and the last ( ![]() ) Syed/Janine-scene must've been mid/late August or something, not July/August... )

Sorry for cutting this, just doing it for space! Have an amazing time at panto tomorrow- you and everyone who's going!

Though, for me, Max/Tanya has run its course and Zainab/Masood has never been the same since the Yusef stuff, the actors are still fab together. I will never get over it. I could rant all day about how awful it was, but I won't. :sleep: Well, not the whole storyline, which I thought was all right tbh, just everything between the twist and their exit. Which I'm aware was, like, 4 episodes, but they were four AWFUL episodes. :sleep: Yeah, I absolutely LOVED their wedding and was sad that Johnny and Marc were going after that because they'd really shown their worth in that episode- they were so, so good- and then that twist happened and I was like 'oh thank GOD they're leaving, I couldn't handle another six months or whatever of this level of storytelling'. So, thanks, EE, I guess?? :sleep: ![]() I know, I know, I know. I will NEVER forgive tptp for treating them like that. If I allowed myself to think about it I'd go raging mad in no time... so I don't :sleep: And yeah, it was never GOOD or anything like that, but I could deal with it even if it was tough. But after that... just NO. Awful. And you're of course so right, it's not even the s/l in itself, it's the completely appalling storytelling . If the story in itself isn't good, at least the storytelling and characterisation should be... y'know... coherent... from a bunch of PROFESSIONAL STORYTELLERS... /But no, not thinking and ranting anymore about that as I quite like my sanity... And you KNOW tptb only did ity because they care about us :sleep: |

I genuinely thought it was okay up until then. A bit boring at times, but nothing awful, and there were some really enjoyable eps. I never really had a problem with anything that happened. I mean, the Danny/Syed stuff in theory was tough I guess, but I could just never take it seriously and just spent 3 weeks or however long it went on taking the piss. So it was fine for me and I was quite enjoying it if anything. And then that happened. It must be said that their exit episode helped me a lot because I thought it was great. It didn't make up for anything, but it did take the a lot of the sting out of it. And having Syed actually acting like a human being after two bizarre weeks was pleasant too. |

(throw in endless amounts of work of different kinds too...)For me it took about a week of feeling numb yet murderously angry after that until I could start taking the p**s out of it all. And yeah, the last ep really helped me to start healing again with them both so I'm getting better I suppose... |

Oh, I just meant the sort of dodgy chat-up lines and stuff wrt to finding the Danny stuff hilarious. I still can't see the funny side of the whole twist thing I try not to think about it too much because I get legitimately angry and it's seriously sad and there are way more important things to be angry at Yeah, I loved the last ep (and the ep before, where Syed was actually acting like a human being again ) and it did help me. Though I've only really hardcore rewatched one bit, no prizes for guessing which I should have a proper rewatch of it because I genuinely did love the whole thing, I'm not just shallow.

(Yours were fine Clarkey, don't worry! I got you meant the engagement party. ) Have put them together now, just need to finish writing them up, but didn't see a lot of point posting them tonight when half of Chryedville is in Nottingham.

Hello all, hope some of you are here for The Wedding Planner thingy.
Should be a bit of a laugh. And Dessie, if there's time, I'll still do it.

Oh dear, this isn't necessarily going to go well - the Zebra stuff on the wall doesn't bode too well.

John and Nina are great - I think they'll fight though.
Kat Slater's dressing room. This is making me laugh. |

It's a very strange programme, imo. Who would let a stranger plan your wedding? Unless you really weren't bothered and were taking that very sensible attitude of 'sillier the better'? Bizarre.
Oh well. Loving Johnny and Nina, hope it's not the last thing they do together! ![]() They just want it all, exactly what they want, and not paying for it. Which makes it fun, I suppose

Yep John. They need to make it clearer. |
