Thanks for the clip, Mark! I really like Stefano. Lucas seems to take after his father. Congratulations to Everon as well for coming out. One of these days maybe we can get to a point where people don't have to "come out" and can just be who they are and no one care.

This all started when Bing, said what he said to Lucas about Menno taming him. I think they need to talk. It looks like Lucas/Fer been working out some.

Okay I have come to the opinion that this board must be closed because there hasn't been any action what so ever on it.

Dalphine, just because the board hasn't been updated in the last few weeks, it doesn't mean it should be closed. Mark probably has a lot going on at the moment and just hasn't been able to update. I'm for once am just thankful for all the work he has put into it so far and hope everything is alright and it's really just work that has been keeping him As for others posting something, since GTST is a soap where most of us fully depend on translations it's difficult to comment on something most haven't seen yet. For your question about Menno and Lucas: I'm not sure why Menno is acting like this either, but I don't think any explanation would really justify his behavior. We'll probably going to get some kind of information on his past though…as to it seems his anger issues are something that is resurfacing. I'm really scared of it escalating though…I've been trying to continue watching the show via the official website and though I don't understand everything, I don't like where it's going Menno is starting to really interfere with Lucas life and Lucas just seems so subdues. The actors are doing a great job though!

Mila...I didn't mean the board was offically closed I probably worded it wrong. "Sorry" I know Mark has been busy, and I know he does this on his own and I do appreciate everythings he does. I was hoping that someone that unstood what was being said would have answered my question. I know Mark has a life and I wouldn't disrespect what he does for the board at all. I hope this isn't coming off as me seeming mad or anything because I'm not.

Hey everyone, mila2005 is right. I've just been very busy lately. This summer there's going to be a GTST Quiz during GTST's summer break and I've been asked to be part of the team. During the week I'm busy with that and during the weekends I'm not always in the mood to do the translations. There's only so much GTST a person can take. But don't worry, I will catch up eventually.

Oh, cool! The GTST team must like working with you, considering it's happened more than once already.

I've been taking a break from soap operas. Now I think I want to catch up. Let's see... where were we? Lucas had just gotten married and is probably set for a long spell of uneventful happiness with the perfect husband...

Really too bad about what they've done with Lucas and Menno.
Activity in here has died, and for good reason. Im still subscribed to the GTST channel on YT, and just decided to watch some of the shorties, and I wish I hadnt.
As far as I can tell without any translation, is that Menno's come clean about whatever issue it is he has and Lucas has wanted to stick by him, but Menno's still beaten him up and gashed his face, and I think Menno probably left town permanently.
Maybe Dave didnt want to stay longterm, but this didnt have to be the way it went. What a waste. So disappointing.

I know Bilal was violent with him too, and of course his first boyfriend turned out to be a murderer. At least Edwin never struck him, but they couldnt just kill him off, they had to have him fall for another guy while Lucas was in a coma first and ruin the ship! What strange times. And where do they go with Lucas from here? Technically he and Menno are still husbands too, so will Menno return? There's no coming back from what happened. Or at least there shouldnt be. Sigh.

Edwin did hit Lucas, no I take that back he choked the shit out of him and called him a f#$%t. So while I liked Edwin, let's not try to make a saint out of him (he also broke up with Lucas for not being able to lie about what Anton had done to him). And this thread is dead lately, not because of the storyline but more so because Mark has been busy of late. And no Menno ddn't leave town, he just moved out of the Toko and is back in the hotel. He still loves Lucas and wants him back so he is going to therapy to work through his shit, which from what I gather a lot of his violent issues have something to do with his father.
Of course there is coming back from this, this is a soap oprea after all and women on soaps have forgiven far worse than this. Didn't Nina forgive her boyfriend for standing there and watching as Lucas and Noud got bashed and then walking away and lying for months abot it. Lucas forgave Edwin for choking him and then he forgave Anton for beating the hell out of him. In America on General Hospital Laura not only forgave Luke raping her but she married him and they were a super couple on and off for 30 years their wedding back in the 80's was one of the highest rated shows in daytime soap history. That story was so huge that Elizabeth Taylor was part of it playing the part of the original Helena Kassidine (sp)? All soaps are full to overflwoing with acts that should be the end of the relationship but aren't. And let's also remember that even in real life as unfortunate as it sometimes turns out to be there are people who do go back to their abusers. At least unlike Hollyoaks where Ste just went back expecting Brendan to change, Menno is actually seaking help so that he can not only get his life back together but get Lucas back as well.
Is that going to happen? Who knows, we aren't sure what Dave is doing, or what the show wants to do with either Menno or Lucas as characters. Maybe the show wants to explore how a couple can come back from this how hard that actualy is, can the trust between them especially on Lucas' part ever really be rebuilt? At some point one would hope that Lucas also seeks some therapy for what happened and why he was willing to stay as long as he did in the situation until Noud, Janine and Nina forced him to face up to it.

At some point one would hope that Lucas also seeks some therapy for what happened and why he was willing to stay as long as he did in the situation until Noud, Janine and Nina forced him to face up to it. Agreed. Look at what happened with River City and their fictional gay couple that went through a domestic abuse situation, survived it, went through therapy and made the "slow" (in soap opera standards) return back to each other as a couple. Robbie has friends that were deadset against him letting his abusive husband back into his life. His spouse HAD to get help and he did it. At least Menno knows that it's a problem that he needs to fix and the show ISN'T adverse in letting the audience know that it is in Menno's hands to fix himself. It's not up to Lucas to fix him.

What strange times. And where do they go with Lucas from here? Technically he and Menno are still husbands too, so will Menno return? There's no coming back from what happened. Or at least there shouldnt be. Key words for me. The character should definitely work on his issues and hopefully overcome them for his own sake, but shouldn't automatically be rewarded with forgiveness and continued romantic relationship with the spouse he abused. The latter for his part will hopefully get to heal, reflect, learn and move on to something healthier. Kind of disappointing because now that I've read this up a bit, I think I'll pass on the storyline altogether. The physical and/or emotional abuse, explainable or not, has become a tired and tiring trope for me, often with less than stellar end results. One can only hope that the show will tell the story well and convey the message mostly effectively in this instance.

It appears that any character that gets with Lucas is doomed. They're either murderers, dead,or physical abusers. I don't think Lucas is meant to be happy in a relationship, for long. I know that they threw in a wedding, but it never felt to me that Menno would be permanent in Lucas' life. I don't think any man will be...unless his name is Noud. Show, just stop playing and make Lucas and Noud a real couple. No one does it better, IMO.
