I feel the same, kitkat - I like both Ollie and Zoshia individually but am not really feeling them as a couple.

Well Ollie and Penny did have quite a bit of chemistry...for a brother and sister. I think Ollie is a character who either way takes no notice of women or becomes very protective of the ones he does like.

At the moment we see Ollie and Zosia out of the corner of the eye almost. They had chemistry when they were playing not up during the summer. Proba return when they put them together.

Well chemistry doesn't have to be sexual. Rosie Marcel has chemistry with Bob Barratt, guy henry and Paul bradley but it isn't a sexual spark - i mean you don't think jac and Sacha, Hansenn and Elliot secretly fancy each other.

I guess I was meaning chemistry in the sexual sense when speaking about Ollie and Tara. Their interactions came across as warm and protective so more like brother and sister.

Oliver was most certainly portrayed as somebody that noticed women, all women when he was first introduced but that has been toned down a great deal - Anderson alleges it was because they just decided he didn't really work as a 'ladies man'.

Yes I think you are probably right. However, I do think that this is another storyline that they has been broken up far too much and scrambled in terms of continuity.

I did think there was great chemistry between them during the summer and enjoyed their interactions, but then post the build up to the hostage drama and their kiss, the plot seemed to grind to a halt and go nowhere. We never even saw on screen their supposed decision to 'just be friends.' For quite a few weeks it was difficult as a viewer to work out what was going on. The aftermath to the kiss seemed very weak after the long build up to it.

I do accept the fact that they don't want to have Ollie quickly jump into a relationship, but there has been such a gap in dealing with the storyline now that it will have lost momentum with a lot of viewers. Had they even had Ollie explaining his feelings and issues to zosia post the kiss, and shown the decision to be friends, it might have made it a tad easier to follow.

I do like them as a pairing, and think there is plenty of chemistry there, but the pacing of the plot in terms of building it up for weeks on end over the summer, and then seemingly forgetting about it for such a long periods has been disjointed, in my opinion.

I also think the way they are handling the Ollie/Zosia "romance" is doing it no favours. It's not so much a slow burn as one week off, one week on. It leads to me not caring much either way.

Much the same as Mo and Mr T only that is much worse. She has ignored him so long (as a potential romantic partner) that a turn around now would be unbelievable to me.

Yes one week on, one week off would be the way to describe Ollie and Zosia.
I do understand that 'will they, won't they' plots can add drama, but to work they need to be scripted and paced well if they are to hold their viewers' interests for a long period of time. There also needs to be some consistency.

Or even if there was just a look between them every now and then to let you know there were still feelings there.

I know I go on and on about Jac and Joseph but they were brilliant at it - and I give kudos to the actors rather than the writers for that. Even when they were in the hating each other stage, or with other people, they would steal glances at each other or a look of regret would come over their faces...it kept me so engaged with them as a couple (even when they were not a couple!!).

I really want Mr T to move on from mo. As others have said she doesn't deserve him. I don't see any chemistry between them at all and I don't think mo has many likeable qualities. I actually think he'd be well suited to cara, they have quite a similar temperament.

Yes, Jac and Joseph were great at acting like the storyline was ongoing even when the writers seemed to have forgotten.
To be fair I have noticed James and Camilla shooting each other the odd glances to try and maintain some consistency, again without much help from the writers. However, for me the biggest flaw with that storyline was the three month build up to a kiss and break up with Seb, that has had little or no follow up for the past two months. When they inevitably resurrect the plot at Christmas time it will be like starting from scratch again.

I have to admit that I'm really looking forward to next weeks trailer! I'm not swure if I'll be able to concentrate on this weeks episode.

Interviews with Rosie Marcel in Inside Soap and what's On TV, editions published today, should anyone want to buy or flick through at their nearest Newsagents. Also Erika Hoskington is the Producer interview in IS for anybody that watches 'Casualty' too.

Cara really expected Morven to look after the baby? She's a busy doctor ffs! And how was she to know Sean was not supposed to come in?! Cara should never have got involved. Silly storyline.

This whole Cara/Jed/Bradys SL is just augh! It could have been soooo much better, it's rally just bad now.

I'm channeling my iner Ms C *hick*

Does anyone know what Dom said at the very end to hot patient?

I sense an affair between two characters is looming

I really like Dom nowadays. Not sure he should be involving himself with a patient though?

"Yippee ky ay" but he missed out the next bit . It's from the Die Hard movie the patient wanted to see.

I love Dom and would love him to be happy with that hot patient. Once he is finished his treatment (and is hopefully ok) wouldn't it be ok for them to date???

I really really really hope that is the end of the Jed storyline.

Darwin is so dull without Elliot or Jac, thank goodness she is back next week.

In the end i didn't feel sorry for Cara at all. She came out quite pathetic in all this. I think her and Raf will get together but i'm sure she said she wanted a baby of her own. I personally, would rather see Raf get with Serena, i see their friendship a little more than that.

When they first brought back the character i thought wtf. After the problems he caused Malik. However, he has really come on well since then and is one of favourite characters.

The Jed storyline was terrible. The last three weeks of it were like repeats of the same episode! If they are going to make a storyline ongoing, with substantial gaps in the middle, don't just keep repeating the same thing when it comes up again. Raf not making a proper report of it was ridiculous too. It was a serious incident and not reporting it properly is actually dangerous. Cara and Raf will inevitably get together eventually, but given that it appears we have Ollie and Zosia, and Morven and Digby develop first, it will probably not be for some time.

I predict that Dom and the patient will fall in love and become a couple, but that the patient's health will deteriorate further and that they will kill him off around Christmas time.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Mo asks Mr T to be her non romantically involved co parent, given that she's now decided to have a baby on her own. Que months of misunderstandings between them because he falls for her even more.

Was Jac too soft??? Rosie Marcel with digitalspy - http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/holb...-was-too-soft/

I really don't like the sound of this. Jac will be taking a massive step backwards. It seems pointless her coming back

I really don't like the sound of what is to come for Jac in that interview. It sounds like they are going to completely regress the character.

I really don't think that fans thought she had become too soft. She was still a tough boss, but just a more well rounded character. I certainly enjoyed the character a lot more in the run up to Rosie's departure, when we got to see more of her human side.

I can't see what allies she will have on Darwin, given what we know about her return episode, so I fear she is going to end up being quite one dimensional on her return.

Has anyone else really gone off Essie? I liked her when she first started, but I'm starting to actively dislike her. There is something about her which makes my skin crawl. I think it's her little smug smile, which doesn't look genuine. She always seems to be poking her nose in where she's not wanted.
