[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 404756, member: 23"] Yes. Watching recent episodes with all the overlapping between households I was reflecting that as much as I love (and in general probably favour) the angle of earlier episodes where every home was an island functioning in isolation from the one next to it, it's so nice to see that [I]Brookie[/I] can still do sudsy in a way that is hugely satisfying. Yes - it was great. Another angle I loved was the noise pollution affecting unrelated scenes in other homes - especially Heather and Nick's heart to heart next door. It's incredibly refreshing compared with many other presentations of a party where nearby homes seem completely unaffected. Dealing with this kind of thing can be a fairly significant part of living in a community and hugely affect relationships, so I'm surprised there isn't more of this kind of stuff in soap. Tiresomely comedic is the perfect description for that sequence. It just didn't ring true at all, and was completely forgettable (in fact I already [I]had[/I] forgotten it until you reminded me). Now you mention it, yes, I think there is. Gosh - this era is really bringing some age-related things up that I hadn't noticed before (like the difference in Paul and Annabelle's ages, which was implicitly mentioned again when Heather's slobby cousin put his foot in it by commenting to them on the age gap between Heather and Nick). That's an interesting contrast. And bouncing between 1986 [I]Brookie[/I] and 1991[I] 'Enders[/I] sounds very attractive indeed. [/QUOTE]
