2023 Season - UK Episode Discussion

My gosh I do find Bree super annoying 

So who organised Lyrics tour? 

[flea]

Yeah, another one here who really can't stand Bree. The actress herself is OK, but the character is just so unlikable. I'd probably go as far as to say the character is my most hated of all time.

I don’t think the actress is that great really but regardless of that I just don’t like Bree I have gone off Remi too in fact Kirby is the only one I sort of like In Lyric

[flea]

Individually the whole of Lyric have grown on me over the past year as when they first came in to the show they really annoyed me.

However the whole band thing is boring now. All three characters that came in as Lyric (excluding Theo as he was already an established character in the show) are a lot more interesting individually than they are together. Kirby and her relationships with both Maz and Theo are good on their own, and I like Eden as a character. Remi is probably the weakest developed character, again though not helped that he is lumped in with a lot of Bree action. If they could pair him with someone better I'm sure he would be a good character.

It is a bit surprising to get such Lyrik heavy scenes recently, although I guess the tour is a decent enough way of writing them out now they've used up their episodes for the week. But it's not that long ago that we were complaining about the fact we never saw all of Lyrik together, so it's good the show's making an attempt to address that, even if Kirby feeling insecure about whether she can write songs or not isn't the most dynamic storyline.Bree seemed uncomfortable even before Kirby's faux pas: Did she not like being around that many people? Or was she just sour that her cosy evening for two with Remi turned into a case of "Six is a crowd"?

So, yep, it seems Marilyn not only didn't read the small print, she didn't read any of the print, since legal experts Alf and Irene quickly spot the problems of the rather one-sided contract after a quick perusal. Let that be a lesson to you!

Six of one.

Reminds me of the sugar ban ep of the Simpsons where Homer smuggles Sugar back into town and hustles the dealers and rows away saying "That wasn't part of the deal!" and one of the dealers holds up a contract "He's right! Who wrote this thing?"

[H&Alover]

As Alf said to Marilyn her attitude towards Roo and her stubbornness not to take her products off the market was so unlike her.  Normally she would have checked it all out but she felt under pressure to get the money for Jett's wedding and pay her share.  Let John pay for it all, then she can pay him back as and when.  Companies like that don't take responsibility for their products having side effects on people, they're just interested in getting money from their customers.  Tbf to Maz she wasn't the only one to get conned/duped/ripped off and that firms contract did appear very watertight.  How is she supposed to get rid of these products that will be turning up on regular periods? What plan was going through Marilyn's mind when she was holding Irene's keys, who it seems is off somewhere?  There were heavy hints/clues that something  will be occurring.  Does that mean we will be seeing the inside of the Beach House? 

It's just not young folk Alf has had a downer on. 

Oh yes, nearly forgot we finally saw inside the Stuart house for what seems yonks. 

I'm no band expert but maybe Lyrik (with a k) playing a more upbeat arrangement of Eden's song will  make it seem less of it being her and Cash's 'song'.   I may be in the minority but I liked it and Eden was more than happy with it.  Don't fret Kirby many lyricists have lyric writing block and hers didn't last that long.   Remi could have been in danger of turning  into Bob, but he is a lot more reasonable then he was and he can be talked round.  Obviously he feels the time is now right to take the next step forward and record an album. 

Not everything has to be dynamic, real life isn't like that, be exhausting if it was. 

It wasn't only Bree feeling left out, Cash must have felt like a spare wheel too with all of Lyrik getting into the drink and reminiscing about old times well apart from Theo who wasn't there in the old days,  Bree and Remi have only just 'found' each other again and now he's off. 

Great minds think alike John about how having  one room done up in your house makes the rest look shabby!   I wasn't liking some of his original ideas, the Juice Bar is a casual drop in place and you'd want customers to feel comfortable just to be do that.   Nice touch that Mali just dropping those ideas on John's desk after letting him think he was on his own.

Little reminder of how the juice bar first looked following the surf club revamp 13 years ago...

[CaptainHulk]

I think Sid and Ari would have been good mates. Both miserable gets at times!

Today's

How did I know  Bully/Antagonist/Pain-in-the-arse-of-the-week would target Justin? We all know where this is headed.

And as for the beach house interior,  I hope so. I wonder if C5 (majority investor last I heard) are shaving the budget by not showing certain sets (TF *are* they doing with the money that killing Neighbours supposedly freed up?)

 

[Foellfan]

Unlikely as by all accounts in the industry C5's HeadVillain CEO Ben Frow wants H&A cut too.
