If you are in the SEPA region then you can get your own RTL+/RTL Now account and watch it on tvnow.de, but otherwise there is no chance.

Is Esther serious? Going through with this pregnancy is madness. She could die, and then Kiwa is left without a mother and Pikitia is left with no parents. Just so bonkers. The idea of going to NY was already crazy (what about Kiwa who is in Raglan??) but this is beyond crazy. I'm a bit gutted that she isn't going though. I'm so tired of her character.. ugh.

I think I let myself get carried away because of the simultaneous premiere of Punch - the NZ film about a young gay boxer played by Jordan Oosterhof who was previously on Shorty. With Zak Martin (Rahu) being a boxing champion, and the way those spoilers were worded (which I'm convinced were intentional queerbaiting), I thought Shorty would try to break that barrier for real too. Guess that's just one line too far for the boxing world in real life! I still have the unsettling feeling that they're setting up Jack and Stanley to become a couple down the road. I'm just not a fan of the whole "double age gap". I know it happens, and this show is no exception (Chris-Zoe being the recently dredged-up example) plus they're both consenting adults. But there has been increasing backlash - for good reason - against normalizing these portrayals. I mean, Stanley lost the love of his life to AIDS around the time Jack was born! In addition, to really mine the whole "robbing the cradle" drama, you'd need some characters to meaningfully make some noise about the age gap, but Mo and Curtis are dead. (Remember how Mo was unhappy even when Jack dated the cop Darren because he was a like 5-10 years older? Imagine the freakout with Stanley!) But all we have are: Chris, who can hardly step into the paternal role without looking like a massive hypocrite (and in any case, Jack seems to have cut off that relationship), and ... Esther. No thanks. I can't take her being the sanctimonious preacher in yet another situation. On a separate note, I was watching the series finale of Neighbours and watching all of the big stars who made a return to the show. And it got me thinking that, if Shorty ever has to end, I'd hope KJ Apa would reprise his character of Kane and make Jack's day/life by revealing that he's discovered his bisexuality during his time away and wants to give it a go with Jack. They even have a built-in excuse for why Kane turned Jack down all those years ago when they were teens, because Kane was going through a major, dark, depressive episode at the time and might not have wanted to further complicate his life. That's a great idea. If you ever write a story along those lines I'd read it in an instant. I think I read KJ is moving back to New Zealand so if that's the case, you never know. I do see what you mean (the image of Esther judging Jack is awful in of itself). The age gap is why I don't think it's going to happen - for the most part the older characters on Shortland Street seem to be kept in their lanes (Chris I imagine was put into that role with Zoe in part for drama with his teenage son). Even Damo, who on some shows probably would have hooked up with Dawn by now, only gets paired with women around his age or older (admittedly I missed his first years on the canvas). The only way I could see it happening is if it's a two-week story where Stanley is dying, or if they want to make him some kind of obsessive stalker, which I would hate, but wouldn't shock me as you can't be shocked by anything on soaps now. I hope they keep the friendship and let Stanley find a new love. I hadn't thought about the severing of the Jack and Chris relationship. The damage done with Chris' character in the racism story - even if it may have been realistic - will probably never be fully repaired. The show as a whole is missing those bonds now, to me. I saw CeCe pouring her heart out to Jojo and was trying to remember if they'd even been friendly. I completely agree with you. I feel like what always made Shorty shine was the friendships and relationships between the characters - not the romances but the interesting character interactions. Lately it seems like characters rarely form these bonds the way they used to. I mean Tess couldn't even think of a single person to be her bridesmaid at her wedding, and ended up settling for Dawn of all people. Yikes. It's not just the friendships though, the familial connections are also missing, which is a real shame. It's a huge change from before when we had Drew and Boyd, Kylie and Drew way back, the Hannah family, the Warner kids, etc. And yeah, it really sucks that Esther is Jack's only close connection now.. She's so insufferable. And Dawn isn't much better at all.. What on earth was the point of her "exit" anyway? I can't see what new stories they could possibly write for her character
