Tonight's episode - 12th April

[SharonHarvey2]

Is it me, or is everyone else getting fed up with this Hayley/Scott and Kim thing where Kim thinks he is the father?

Look at the thread for Kim though for 'future' storylines.

[sallywebster]

I want the baby's father to be Kim as I prefer him to Scott!

[sootycat]

I just want it over, it must be soon because they both leave don't they.

[sallywebster]

Thats right Sooty - Scott and Hayley both left in oz in the 2005 season finale which will be shown on 12th May here in the uk so not long to go now.

I dont really like Scott - he is totally stupid. I wanted Hayley and Kim together, I really like Hayley since Ella took over the role. Its a shame she leaves so soon, she is a brilliant actress - wipes the floor with the actress who plays Martha.

[sootycat]

I can never see her as Hayley even after all this time.

I would have liked it if she had played a completely different character and stayed in the show.

[sallywebster]

Good point. A wasted opportunity there.

I have warmed to her more than the other Hayley. She has more chemistry on screen with Kim and Scott I feel.

[SharonHarvey2]

Yes, I agree with you regarding Ella, she is not the same as Bec Cartwright was, though I guess you cannot expect her to be either, but I still cannot get used to her, and to say she is leaving soon, it seemed daft in a way getting her in just for that short time.

Going on to you though Jez, I am pleased that Scott is Noah's Dad, I like Kim though, I think it is better that it is Scott and not Kim.

I was going to do some spoilers for you, but had some trouble with the Net and so have not had time, but will see what I can do later.

Yes, they are leaving soon, Kip who plays Scott is coming to Englnad to star in Casualty (A different thread)

They didnt have much choice with Hayley - apparently Bec was going to leave at the end of 2005 anyway but due to her getting pregnant she had to leave months earlier than planned, but they had already written storys for Hayley up until the end of season, so had to recast the role.

I just think Ella is a better actress and ive warmed to Hayley much more because the actress is outstanding.

I don't know, Ella as Hayley has mutured the role much more than Bec did, though in some scenes I cannot see 'Hayley' dong some of things, and the old Hayley would have reacted much different to the new one.

However, I could not see the old Hayley giving birth and having this mediation meeting with Kim.

The old Hayley I felt was more of a dreamer.

[sallywebster]

I agree Sharon. I cant imagine Bec Cartright playing the recent scenes involving Hayley. For me I think of Ella as Hayley now.

No, exactly, Bec would not have played them as well, as it needed a more mature person, and I don't think Bec came across as that.

I also don't think Kim and Hayley as she is now is a suited as Kim and Hayley were when Bec played her. They just don't seem right, yet Ella and Kip do.

[sallywebster]

Really? I thought Hayley Mk 2 and Kim had far more chemistry than Hayley 1 and Kim

I was getting confused then with mark 1 and 2! Right back at you anyway, really? Yes, I thought Bec had the same, I don't know but she seemed more suited to Kim than this one does.
