Hello Part 269 and Congrats to Clarkey on the OP!
We got a new thread at last!
Sorry wasn't on yesterday. Still trying to work through all my muddled emotions.......I think for the next week, I'm going to keep having the same cycle each day.....first of all I'm elated they had a happy ending....then I can't stop missing them....I feel a definite sense of emptiness.....it's feels WEIRD. Then a little bit of anger at TPTB for all their treachery and all the disappointments and coulds and shoulds. Then I just feel all teary and emotional....then finally I feel happy again. Round and round I go!
Just done a huge catch up and got a few mentions to do....
Zoetje and Clarkey - I loved your big soppy emotional posts yesterday.....
Snowflaine, Shortiefluff and Cairogirl, lovely posts on the last thread reflecting on Chryed and your time on the thread.
Heartsick (no more!) - goodbye! Sorry I was not here when you made your last lovely post. It's been an amazing 3 and a half years. Thanks for all your contributions. I have been much in agreement with your recent posts. Good luck with real life and if you are ever seeing Marc and we are there - come and say hello! xxx I am glad you are no longer
Heartsick.
Partridgesgirl - goodbye and good luck to you as well. xxx
Gosh it's sad now that some people have started to leave. I'll be here to at least Christmas though, and am going to re-watch the entire Chryed story from the beginning soon, and then I'll be able to do the survey - definitely want to re-watch all of it before I do the survey.
Thanks to Elphie, Poppy, Sylae and Jenn who have posted their answers so far, I've loved reading them.
Mads, thanks for sharing your thoughts on your time on the thread with everyone - so glad it's made such a positive impact on your life. And thank you for the Kiss video - gorgeous!
Romeo and Romeo - love the Chryed in America post you made. I bet Jane did do the Jane dance and I am sure Syed will be made a great big fuss of by Linda, he'll be all shy but he'll laaarve it really. And Christian will be totally embarressed by the tales of his childhood and all the photos!
Jenn, thank you for the screencaps so far and the wonderful gif! I think the floor scene is shooting straight into my top 10.
Such a wonderful sexy scene, and yet sad and beautiful - it's all kinds of wonderful. Have enjoyed all the discussions about it!

It just goes to show, Chryed still have IT!
I also love Christian's post sex voice, especially when he says "It's good though".”
It was fabulously sexy, as was Syed big smile that spread across his face. Just guh!

Been reading everyone's views, I think Christian lunged first, yes. Really wish we could have seen the place being wrecked, I picture it the same as the famous Shannis scene.

I think this too. If you look closely (not that I have of course), Christian's face changes ever so slightly in the split second before the scene goes outside to Lucy and Zainab. I like to think it changes to a look of lust. I'd imagine that Christian just loses total control and pushes Syed back onto the table and then they go crashing to the floor together and then Zainab peeks through the door just as they are ripping clothes off and they've got all their hot and sweaty limbs getting more and more entwined. I love that Pete put some frenzied sex into the script. Not only cos it's hot but also cos I think the passion in Chryed's relationship perhaps hasn't been there much in recent months, what with caring for Yasmin, financial worries and wedding stress etc. So I think it was really important for them to get that passion back and remember what it was like when it was just the two of them laying in each other's arms together.”
Love this post! Pete put the passion back. LOL.

It was lacking and the last time we saw any was......

Ewww I just said 'bedroom time'”
.......this scene! So yes, I think the passion had been submerged under looking after Yasmin, wedding preparations and Christian being so pally with Zainab. Syed off on a tangent, a bit lost and detatched from it all - and getting a bit muddled as all the family relationships changed again.
Well - there ends a huge catch up. I know we are bound to slow down from now on but I'll be on here regularly, posting and waffling away. Don't intend to go anywhere until after all the panto trips are over, and possibly the Hip.
