That's true. I do love that Shortland Street discusses social issues, but it's become so focussed on Brightshine right now that it's lost its charm. Now it's so bleak and joyless. It feels more like an American (or British) soap, which is not in any way a compliment.
Also, Vili is an idiot. He believes that Maeve killed her son, and now he thinks that Jack is some sort of creep? Wow.

It's sad to see the direction that this show is taking. I can't wait for this odious Brightshine storyline to end. How long has this been going on for anyway? Certainly at least since September/October. What a disaster.

I agree. The show right now is relentlessly grim. Even in the past when the show has explored dark storylines (Scott Spear in 2006/2008, the Ferndale Strangler in 2007-2008, Ethan Pierce and the bone harvesting in 2008) they managed to inject some amount of humour into the storylines, probably because of the fun characters. The show urgently needs to introduce some new characters who can inject some amount of fun into the show (not Daisy!). A lot of the characters also seem so helpless and/or indifferent to the presence of Brightshine and its impact on the hospital. It's all so depressing.

Esther is the worst! Good grief. But it would just be too depressing imo to kill her off. Pikitia left orphaned with two dead parents? That would just be absurd. At least we should be free of her for a while because the actress will presumably go on maternity leave for at least a few months surely.

Is Esther really going to leave Marty and date someone else again? This back and forth with Esther is so tiresome. Speaking of tiresome, what is the matter with Nicole? Isn't she meant to be Harper's best friend? It doesn't seem like she cares at all about her. Instead she just can't wait to jump into bed with Drew, I mean wtf?? Nicole and Drew have never been remotely interested in each other. Also, has everyone forgotten that Harper has postnatal depression?

I also don't understand why Dawn has completely forgotten about Brightshine and Scott. I guess she doesn't care anymore? It seems like all she's interested in is Logan and his family drama. It's bizarre how indifferent most staff members are to the hospital's close relationship with Brightshine. Everyone at least knows that Scott attacked Logan, right? Or do they somehow not believe that either?
I doubt that they will revisit TK's family's ownership of the land. The writers seem to have forgotten about all of that.
And as for David Kearney, I don't think he believes in anything. He is just a classic dour, soulless pen-pusher who spends his days staring at spreadsheets trying to find ways to "cut costs". He'll align himself with whomever he thinks is more likely to win.

Yes I think Chris is working against her, mainly offscreen I guess.
Was Maeve really convicted? I thought she was just awaiting trial. I still can't fathom how they could have ever charged her for the crime. Based on what evidence? That really made no sense. Do they really think that she injected him with drugs and drowned him in the pool while she was drunk out of her mind? Ludicrous.
I know, right? In what way is Marty "dull"? He's always been way more fun than Esther, who has been insufferable for quite a while now. I don't really believe that she loves Marty. Honestly I don't have any idea what they're planning for this character. I feel like Esther should have been written out ages ago. Also, I love how she didn't even care that TK and Cece were leaving Ferndale.
I hope that we get a break from Dawn as well. Although if they don't start introducing some new characters soon then I guess they'll always have to have her front and centre. A lot of characters don't even have any storylines at all.
I agree that the show desperately needs another bi/gay male character. It's a shame that Rico was axed so quickly.

I agree. I guess the idea is that a month has passed and they somehow cleaned everything up during that time. They also changed the style - now everything is blue. I agree - I hope they stick around for a while, though it seems like Kate is insisting on staying at Central, which makes no sense. I doubt we'll be seeing Central at all from now on, tbh. Also, wow they really put a lot of effort into making post-Shortland Street Ferndale dystopian. Stabbings at the IV, everyone working at Central in its overcrowded, poorly lit corridors, and the dismal standard of care at both Central and St Kath's (with Brooke as CEO, of all people! I hope we never have to see her again.). Curious to see where this goes.

CEO is a terrible fit for TK. He's always hated those types of jobs and often expressed disdain for them in the past. I don't really understand what they are doing with TK at all. This whole storyline with Ngaio and the new family was completely inconsequential, so what was the point? He's a terrible CEO as far as I can tell, but no one questions him anymore. What happened to his feud with Chris at the beginning? That just ended abruptly.
It's such a shame to lose so many characters, but I agree that Esther should be the first to go. She is so insufferable and self-centred. And it's completely crazy to me for her to have this baby when her life is at risk - that would leave two children without a mother, one of which already has a dead father. I still cannot figure out why they didn't just write her out with Curtis so they could get their happy ending together. And why are they trying to force Esther and Marty on us? So tiresome.
It looks like Rahu is just going to be written out. He's done nothing of significance since coming to the show other than have an offscreen romance with Ngaio, so I don't know what the point of his character was. They haven't even developed the character at all.
The only storyline I'm really interested in right now is Brightshine. It'll be interesting to see what they find out about this dodgy organisation (which of course has ties to the US). I don't know why everyone insists that this was an accident. Shouldn't people in Ferndale be a bit more suspicious given all that has happened there? I guess Jack is so pumped full of caffeine that he isn't thinking clearly, but it's pretty clear that Wilder wasn't on ketamine at the party. I'm looking forward to see what happens in the cliffhanger.
