Blog-mojo

I've lost my blog-mojo a bit, so there haven't been much blogging. I've got a lot on my plate right now with work, studies, even more studies and so on. So therefor I'm going to recommend you a couple of short films from the Netherlands. I love them!

Kiss Me Softly

Caged

Enjoy! I hope you like them!

Here's Johnny!

Ted Reilly as Johnny Carter.

So, this is going to be the new Johnny Carter. I think he's cute! I've seen him in both Suspects and Grantchester before. It's not stated when Johnny is going to return to Walford but let's hope that Eastender has something good in mind this character. That does not include Ben Mitchell or Paul Coker. Please.

Support The Horizon!

The Horizon cast.

I forgot to tell you, there's a crowdfunding campaign for season 7 and 8 of The Horizon! Apparently a big sponsor dropped out so upcoming season's might not ever happen, even though they've already shooted scenes for at least season 7. I just couldnt bear not being able to see that! So, they need 45000 USD and they've got 4989. Well that's not enough my friends! So, follow my lead and support The Horizon series! I just have to see when Jicky goes home to Bega for the big coming out!

Really Eastenders? Again?!

Abi Branning & Ben Mitchell.

Are you for real Eastenders?! Haven't we seen this before in hmm... Eastenders?! Yes we have. Is it really necessary to have all the gay characters making some girl pregnant? So, next on the list is Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid). Again! Is this the end of Pen? I refuse to believe that! This is 2016 and this is the year that every gay storyline is going my way! To show you how used this plot is just keep reading.

1982-ish - Steven Carrington

Jack Coleman and some baby.

Ok, it was kind of off-screen, and Steven Carrington (Jack Coleman) was actually married to the mother Sammy-Jo (Heather Locklear) but he was gay and he did make some girl pregnant. If he just had come out when he wanted, that would never have happened. So, already in the 80's in Dynasty for heaven's sake! 

2009 - Oliver Fish

Scott Evans and some baby.

In 2009 Oliver Fish  (Scott Evans) from One Life to Live was so deep down in the closet that he had to sleep with Stacy Morasco to feel better when he was drunk. And she wanted to get pregnant so win-win I guess. But Stacy died and daddy had a new boyfriend so Sierra Rose got to daddys instead and actually, even though I don't like babies in soaps, I would really have liked to see more of the really cute family of Fish, Kyle and Sierra Rose. It's a shame that USA is full of homophobic biggots among all the nice people there, so the characters had to leave the show, of course.

2010 - Syed Masood

Marc Elliott and some baby.

The first time Eastenders did it. Syed was the muslim guy who felt he had to get married to a woman to please his parents and who ever, and when his wife Amira got to know that her husband was gay she was already pregnant, but she left Walford and Syed got to meet his daughter for the first time in 2012. But Syed's boyfriend Christian Clarke (John Partridge) is delighted because they are planning to get a baby anyway and he does call Yasmin his and Syed's daughter more than once. An Amiras. But it seems that it is working out. But I am wondering, when is both Syed and Christian doing a guest appearance together? We miss you Chryed!

2010-ish Deniz Öztürk

Igor Dolgatschew and aothers and some baby.

In 2010 or something Deniz (Igor Dolgatschew) is drunk and sleeps with his father's girlfriend Jessica. That is the final stroke for DeRo I think. Ok, the got back together in the end but it was never the same. Roman died and Deniz got back to just girls and he meets his son Jonas once in a while. This was a really really reaaally lousy storyline fron Alles Was Zählt. I hated it. I don't want to talk about it.

2011 - Ben Mitchell

Steve McFadden and some baby.

There's no picture with both Ben and his daughter Lexi so we have to do with granpa Mitchell instead. Well, it seems like Ben doesn't really care about his baby, but he kind of was in prison back then so we never really had a storyline with those two. And I guess the writers kind of forgot about it at the time whe he got out or something. In 2011 Ben Mitchell (then played by Joshua Pascoe) slept with Lola Pearce while he was drunk and I guess it was some kind of gay-straight experiment. So, if Ben already has an "accident" child, why is he making another? We all know that he is gay.
 

2012 - Will Horton

Chandler Massey and some baby.

In 2012 Will Horton had an one-night stand with his ex Gabi and of course she got pregnant. Ok, this is not the worst baby-storyline and Arianna got to very loving fathers in Will and Sonny (Freddie Smith) but babies in soap operas are so boring! No, I do not approve Days, I do not approve.

2014 - Ste Hay

Kieron Richardson, Ross Adams and some baby.

So even in Hollyoaks. Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) had av very drunk one-night stand with the dreadful Sinead O'Connor in 2014 and that resulted in baby Hannah. Ste's husband John Paul (James Sutton) accepted it but Ste got and had a crush on some boring guy named Harry and I don't really care anymore. It could have been so good with Ste, JP, Leah, Lucas, Matthew and Hannah, but no. I am disappointed. 

2014 - Lari Väänänen

Ronny Roslöf and some baby.

And also in 2014 in Finland. Salatut Elämät also wants to do the baby storyline. Lari (Ronny Roslöf) also had a drunk one-night stand (there's a lot of those) with a girl, Sanni, who just happens to be the little sister of Kalle (Pete Lattu) Lari's future boyfriend. Boring, unecessary drama, the baby doesn't add any good to the soap, can't you just let Lalle to be happy?! I would.

And of course, there's more gay characters with babies in soap operas, Brendan Brady and John Paul McQueen for instance, but Brendan was married and an irish catholic back then and JP actually got baby Matthew with Craig before Craig shove of, so I don't think that those count. But do you see know Eastenders just how old this is? Why can't you just come up with something new? I am not looking forward to this!

Already!

Brent Antonello & Adam Senn.

So, yesterday this happened! We've already got a kiss in public! That is just amazing! Hit the Floor has really delivered this season! Zude is truly amazing. I am so looking forward to the rest of this season. And I love that it is Zero who is the pushy and needy one. In a good way that is.

Jonathan Bennett as Lucas.

But I do not like this guy! Lucas (Jonathan Bennett) really is a nasty guy. Keep away from Jude! I'm just telling you! But there could be some interesting drama there. But I really hope that Zero is sticking to coming out and to Jude. It is so obvious that he is deeply in love...

Johnny Carter is coming back!

Sam Strike as Johnny Carter.

This could be interesting! I mean, let's face it, we could all guess that Sam Strike wasn't too comfortable playing gay in Eastenders. He left the show before we even got to know the character for real so I think tat it's a good thing that Johnny Carter will be back, and if Sam's not that keen on returning, recasting him is the right thing to do. I would love to see James Fletcher (Dylan Jenkins in Hollyoaks) in that role but I am not sure how he would feel about playing gay either so... But anyway, thank you Sam for giving us one of the most beautiful coming out scenes ever, along with Danny Dyer. We will always remember that one!

Oscar

Danny Miller.

Oh. My. God. Danny. Miller! What an actor! If there was an Oscar for acting in a soap opera Danny would get it every year! There is no way to describe how good he was in yesterdays episode! If I tried I wouldn't do him justice. So I won't. Just see it! And again, I wonder how much locher Emmerdale will be able to keep him. And as a bonus I give you cute Aaron too!

Danny Miller as Aaron Livesy and Lucy Pargeter as Chas Dingle.

Stendan in 106 inches

Emmett J. Scanlan and Kieron Richardson.

Do you know what's really great? To watch Stendan in Dublin on a big screen. 106 inches to be accurate. Brendans mustache is really big! And that's about all the Hollyoaks I get right now! I've gone from Hollyoaks-lover to Hollyoaks-loather. I won't return until Ste breaks up with Harry or John Paul get a new love. And that's it!
