Whilst I continue to contemplate moving my #OLTL thread over from the Other Place, let’s start up a #SantaBarbara -centric ‘before they were famous’ thread 🧵🧵
> #TheLostBus > the movie’s merely good, though McConaughey is *spectacular* in the lead. Would be very curious to know what liberties the filmmakers took with the story, because if THIS is how all of this actually went down … holy GOD.
My third solo movie date in roughly a month’s time: my husband had no interest at all in #TheLostBus — he scorns what he calls ‘big dramas’ whenever possible — and i wanted to catch it on the big screen before it goes away, sooooo … hope he’s having fun tonight, whatever it is he’s doing! 👋
Oh, what a *lovely* touch for #Neighbours to bring back Leila (actress Jing-Xuan Chang) — the very same Child Protective Services lady who shepherded Aaron and David through their foster care journey five years ago — for this new story with Addison. ❤️
LOL, I think it all comes to a head next week
Judging from the spoilers I just read, I don’t think you’re *THAT* far off 🤣🤣

#BTG has as wonky a timeline as a soap that's been on the air for 60 years already

Josh later agrees not to tell Brad about Piper and Tyler, on the condition that Tyler will ensure nothing ever happens again. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
Piper tells Tyler that she confessed to Josh about their kiss. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
Aaron Brennan: a whiz with the Turtle Wax, thanks much. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
Josh later sweetly asks Aaron about Nate at the garage, but Aaron has no answers. However, Josh gets to be the recipient of one of Aaron’s latest marketing gimmicks: washing and waxing cars, besides merely *repairing* them. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
Karl and Susan confront Aaron the following morning and Aaron confirms that Nate has gone to clear his head. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
As for Matt Wilson … his improvement as an actor has been well-noted in the halls of this very Bluesky page, though he still struggles a bit with the heartfelt stuff. As fine as he will undeniably become with heavier material, he’s still clearly reaching here, bless that boy’s HEART 🤷🏻‍♂️ #AutumnOfAaron
Nate later meets up with Aaron and announces he’s leaving. Aaron is gobsmacked, but Nate is adamant that his actions have put everyone he loves in danger. They embrace one last time — minus a kiss, VERY notably 😭 — and Nate is gone. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
(And, by the way, the Aaron that Nate returns to will be in a FAR different place than the Aaron that he’s leaving behind tonight, so … prepare yourselves!) 👀 #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
(I have no idea how much notice #Neighbours got before they had to write Nate out — judging from the seemingly slapdash way this story arc got tossed together, my guess is: not a hell of a lot of — but have no fear, Nate fans reading this: he returns in roughly 60 episodes’ time.) #AutumnOfAaron
(This ☝🏻 may all feel like it’s coming fully out of nowhere, but what was happening in real life was: actor Meyne Wyatt got an opportunity to star opposite Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush in a production of KING LEAR, and #Neighbours let him take leave to accommodate that.) #AutumnOfAaron

Karl and Susan tell Nate about Dimato’s crony paying Susan a visit, and Nate flips. #AutumnOfAaron #Neighbours
> #AutumnOfAaron > #Neighbours ep 7282 > Mark asks Aaron if all is well with Nate. Aaron looks concerned — rightly, indeed — but plays it off.
Ohhhhhhh k, got it now. 💥
#ThePitt ep 9
Katherine LaNasa in #ThePitt (ep 5 now) … like, she’s great but she’s strictly directing traffic so far. She won an Emmy for this show so I’m assuming that … something dramatic … happens for and/or to her at some point … ? 👀

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.
Isn’t that also essentially where Kyle mowed into David and didn’t even know it? 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️
You say safe and boring; EYE say that’s the exact thing that’s going to make me give this show another shot after a summer-long break.
Ok, I’m NOT going to blow the whole scene because we’ll get there when we get there, but I cannot stop myself from sharing a snippet — this is how the scene ends. You don’t have context if you’re a #Neighbours newb, but I’m not sure you need any — just watch HIM. Sweetest JESUS. #AutumnOfAaron
It is legit INSANE how great — like, I’m talking a *you can keep this job as long as you friggin WANT to* level of charisma — Matt Wilson is in this one simple scene.
