    I also had pneumonia and it is no way a walk in the park. But compared to lingering maladies of old age, it is relatively quick and painless. Remember this was pre WW II - antibiotics weren't available until the late 1940's/early 1950's.

    Many older people I know well don't fear death but are afraid of lingering suffering and succumbing to diseases that leave than less than like Alzheimer or an incapacitating stroke.

    My uncle died from pneumonia last month (yes he was in his early 90s and had lost his wife the year before, but about 6 weeks before his death, he was in a mentally fine state after a year of grieving, and then he literally got a bout of pneumonia and passed away within a few days). He survived a bout of cancer years earlier, but pneumonia at that age is sadly almost always a death sentence, because of the fluid that builds up in the lungs.

    So, between that and the Shaun and Lea storyline (which my sister-in-law, my mother and my grandmother - none of which are blood related, all had experienced to them), it was an absolute heartbreaker for me.

    Not sure if Shaun and Lea will survive this, but I hope they will, since I have been a fan of them from the start of the show.

  2. It’s actually the latter paragraph about love sneaking up is actually the quote he duplicated in his description of S2 and S3.

     

    Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with the description. But if you are going to be using it, don’t say it for two different relationships in two different seasons. Because he used it to describe the Fiona romance in S2 and now he is using it for a different romance in S3.

     

    And yes to how he interacts with them. That is why I actually like that Fiona called him out in a way about it at the Boat Club. Since he seemed to forgot how small Weld was and the repercussions it has on everyone involved.

    Hmm, maybe I should try to catch it and check it out. It would be interesting to see the actors when they were younger. Maybe Y7 has old episodes or Hulu.

    It was a Nine Network show here in Australia and there's talk of a revival potentially happening (Nine didn't announce it as part of their 2018 upfronts last week though), so it's still one of those TBD things, but if you like Aussie dramas it was a good one (personally I was a fan of the earlier seasons though).

    Benson (Arlo) will be at the Perth Telethon this weekend. Not sure if any of the other cast members will be there too since Emma and Michelle usually have gone over in the past for it.

  4. Just a FYI post, etc these are the two articles I was referring to above:

    Season Two - January 2017

    Season Three - September 2017

    Heh in relation to Lindsay at the table, it also reminded me of Monty when he was staying there before George kicked them all out LMAO. It's like George had more privacy when Steve, Jan and the twins were in the house than when everyone else had bombarded it afterwards.

  5. Thought I'd move the George and relationships talk from the S3 thread to over here.

    Basically I've noticed, like they did with S2 and the build up of his relationship with Fiona (which is now more a blimp on the scale, since the writers have gone the never mentioned that ever happened route these days), that they are doing the same with now with George and Katie.

    The only thing that makes me a tad annoyed is when Erik has done press for this, he's used the same damn line to describe both seasons. Regardless of the show and pairing in question, it's one of those things that always annoys the heck out of me when actors do press that way.

    I never watched it, but it's an Australian drama series that aired around 10 years ago.

    Plus the running joke is 800 Words is the place for the MD cast have gone to, since Bridie and Michelle were also on the show.

    Zac got Jealous when George asked Katie out out on a date? I don't remember that!  Your "evil tangled web" is scary. George with Katie is MY preferred outcome, but I can't see Zac with Fiona as viable. The only pro of that coupling is her desire for a child; otherwise his belief that he's some kind of a stud goes against my understanding of Fiona. She's not attracted to "studs" as her Robbie experience has shown. Fiona has shown that she's abhorrent of guys who behave like they are "studs".

    He did initially when he heard Katie's laugh which was her mating laugh then it was like eh I'm fine with it.

    At least there's a wedding next week!

    Can't be Katie, though she's still my preference, as Zac didn't get jealous when George and Katie went on their date.  In fact, he encouraged it.

    It could be Katie - he did get jealous when he asked her on the date but hid it LOL. Well you can always have the evil tangled web, have them hooking up with their previous exes. When that happens I will literally be throwing a pillow at the television screen.

    If it came down to Katie or Ngahlia I'd take Katie too (since I doubt they'll go the Fiona angle anymore).

    On a positive note about S3 at least we are getting storylines for different characters, even if I am not a fan of them all, etc.

    Nadine, could you point me to this interview please? I looked on Y7's web site but couldn't find it.

    It was on the official FB page - think this is the link it was in the first half of the Q&A if I remember correctly.

     

  10. I said the same thing the other day to someone about George and Fiona, that’s as if they went yep that never happened. So George will probably go after Ngahlia or Katie if Rob’s interview about jealousy between George and Zac is correct, then it’s either those two or Zac hooking up with Fiona. But those are all specs on my behalf because other then those choices the jealousy part wouldn’t be into play.

     

    Jackie who plays Gloria was off promoting her film worldwide that is the reason she went MIA.

    This episode was a little better than the previous ones. Hannah-centric and she acted her ass off.  This was the first episode where I felt Hannah could act instead of being just a pretty face. The Woody secret is still ridiculous and has a lot of the people of Weld involved but it's kind of cool that Hannah has solved it and has kept it under wraps. Still no Gloria, and that bothers me because I like Gloria and I'm bummed that she's gone with no answers. Shay and Siouxsie are becoming fast friends and that's so different, and they've introduced Ike's mom, Ngahuia, and I hope she's NOT George's next love interest but right now I don't see many other potential contestants. Arlo and Lindsay are still a puzzle. This episode may be heading in the right path, but I'll hold back any hope that they've had right this ship.

    I'd be putting money on her being his next love interest and that is purely speculation on my behalf not a spoiler. If it happens it'll be interesting to see how that goes down with Hannah, Katie, Fiona, Ike, Zac and Billy.  If they don't go that route they'll bring Rose (Woody's ex) back and hook her up with George at the end of the season.

    I do however love the Hannah being a cop storyline, good to see them giving her a storyline she can play with as opposed to the idiotic one they gave her with Terry. :)

    Yes, that part was on topic. :)

    And season 3 start date will also be on topic here when it is announced. But so far I have been unable to find any information about it.

    It'll start in September as repeats are currently on 7Flix here in Australia. No episodes have been leaked online so any episodes that state they are definitely are not real.

    Hi all, it is ok if a conversation sometimes drifts a bit off-topic from the subject of the thread for a couple of posts. But by now most of the latest posts have had nothing or very little to do with 800 Words in the media. I think this discussion fits better in the season discussion thread, so please continue it there.

    Gotcha - to be fair my previous post did mention Erik's new project :)

    The baby daddy is definitely NOT George nor Zach. Not George because that would kind of put a damper on his philandering. Not Zach because Zach already has Hannah, Ike, & Billy, plus he thinks he's a stud and bragging about how you're a stud is clearly not a stud quality. (nor any quality)  However, you think Baby Daddy dies?  Granted, he's probably a Red Shirt and cast to just be a corpse.

    Do you think Jan would take Rae's place in Big Mac's family?  Wow, missing out on the man she kind of loves to settle for Big Mac who isn't even the baby's daddy! That might be too much for Weld. The whole town would explode with gossip.

    What's the name of the Shay stalker? I notice nobody even mentions him. I think Dude is ready for some serious rubber room therapy with a strait jacket vest.

    Ollie - yeah he is definitely a creeper. Until he was ruled out as not being a baby daddy, it was definitely a possibility for a sec there.

     

    Jan and Big Mac were on the same wavelength level back when she came into it in S1 so the idea of them hooking up wouldn't surprise me at all. Well Rae's only pops in when she wants to (partly due to Nat Bolt being unavailable to film due to Riverdale too). :)

    However, Jan's news brought the subject up. No sense in getting in any deeper if you already know that one of your desires will not be met. I can't see George being the father and I would hate for Zach to be the father.

    I'm going with Steve being the father, then by not surviving the boat crash she can take up Big Mac's offer to be a family. Albeit even if she doesn't take up his offer, there's a good chance she'll stay at his place since it's the closest thing to Sydney, etc.

    Yes, but claiming you want to have fun and then presenting George with the questionnaire belies your original intent. Anyway, I assume since it was the last question, it was probably the most important thing to her.  People tend to hide their real questions at the end. She should have broached the subject earlier. It shouldn't take Jan's pregnancy to finally discuss the subject. 

    She's not giving up and I don't think Katie will either. It will be interesting.

    Just to clarify my comment there (hence I didn't go further into it above) - by George ripping up the questionnaire, was a way to eliminate her over-analysing (to keep it fun, etc). Even though by the time they broke up / went on a break they had been together for at least a month (because of the school year starting, etc).

     

    That being said not everyone wants to raise the topic of kids up front, so I can see why they both avoided that until Jan's pregnancy popped up. I think it wouldn't have mattered who George was with at the time, that discussion probably wouldn't have initially been on the table (I mean as whacky as Woody and Tracey are, it took Jan's pregnancy to happen to raise the issue for discussion with them too).
