Yes, I was on Brad's side against Terese's brother. He was scum.
It's not completely black and white, but I feel Terese has suffered the most in this situation which is why I side with her. Plus, I think Rebekah Elmaloglou is the best actor of the three so I prefer Terese as a character.
I agree about the acting ...but I think her not being with brad will bring her more exciting story lines ... I also feel Lauren is a warmer character and more suited with brad .... but really I'm just waiting for the Tyler storyline ;)
I'm definitely on Terese's side. Brad just annoys me - and he's always been a cheater.... I've always thought Terese and Paul had good chemistry and I think I'd like to see them together. Although I also like Naomi with Paul...Quote:

brad don't suit any, he should have died not matt
Well it seems the majority opinion - on this forum at least - is a big thumbs down for the Brad and Lauren affair. I wonder it that was the writers' intention?
Yes he's impressed me so far. He's definitely more than just a pretty face. :)Quote:

Didn't Brad have an affair with Terese when with Beth? So Terese is a cheat too.
Absolutely correct ��Quote:

Brad's definitely always been a cheat, and Lauren's now slept with him when he was with Beth and now with Terese - and was supposedly friends with both!
I think Terese knew Brad wasn't single. In all these cases the relationships have been on the rocks though.Quote:

She didn't even know her.
He also had an affair with Lauren when engaged to Beth, and kissed Lauren recently. He's a serial cheater, so it's no wonder Terese is so insecure with him. The state of his relationships when he cheated is irrelevent. He should have ended them before moving onto the next woman.
As ILTPandN says, the saintly Lauren has been friends with both of Brad's partners when she's had an affair with him. She's moved on from her Matt very quickly too. I don't really see how anyone can say Terese is the guilty party in this mess when both Brad and Lauren have form for their current behaviour. If they've behaved in the same way in the past without Terese's presence, it can't be her driving them to it.
Yesterday's episode at UK pace was the one where where Brad and Lauren talk at the lake. Lauren said that Terese must sense the feelings between them and that it must be driving her crazy, so they know they're in the wrong. Yet Brad persists in telling Terese that she's the one wrecking their marriage... :wall:
Well Terese certainly isn't helping matters. She has a very controlling / bullying nature.
Am I the only one who remembers terese being the one that nearly or did cheat with that azera .(how ever that's spelt) ... before arriving to Ramsey St ? I remember Brad very Jealous and I also remember her nearly doing it again after brad and Lauren kissed when finding paige ...
Yes, you're quite right, there was an attraction between Terese and Ezra before the family moved to Ramsay Street (though nothing happened). I think she can be forgiven for almost kissing Ezra after finding out about Brad and Lauren's kiss because she was devastated at the time.Quote:

I enjoyed this episode. I was a bit annoyed at the beginning when Terese conceded their marriage problems were all her fault, but soon felt better when she realised her paranoia and insecurity had been completely justified.
It looks like she won't turn to drink again now she's found out the truth. Hopefully she can get her confidence back now she knows it wasn't her paranoia and drinking driving Brad away. He didn't need any help there.
I hope she makes Brad and Lauren pay! :angry:
His name is Ezra not azera.Quote:

It was actually better than I expected. Loved the marmalade throwing, and loved Lauren going in the pool :D (although I still think it would've been great to see Brad go in the pool).
I'm also hoping Terese will get her confidence back - I like confident, strong, assertive Terese.
Lauren has always wanted Brad even while happily married to Matt, she is happy now and don't care about Terese or Terese's kids as long as she has Brad in her bed :mad:
Rebekah Elmaloglou acted the others off the screen in that episode, I want to see a strong feisty revengeful Terese now
Very true, and you can say the same about Brad too. They're both incredibly selfish.Quote:

Lauren admitted to Terese in front of Brad she always had feelings for him and wanted him or something along those linesQuote:

That's not true. Lauren said she had feelings for Brad that were connected with the baby she thought she had lost.Quote:

And what about Matt her deceased husband, father of her three kids :angry: Lauren has always wanted BradQuote:

Lauren pretty much admitted to Paige she has always loved BradQuote:

I hate how Josh blames Terese, her paranoia over Lauren and Brad was justified which drove her to alcohol :angry:
It's annoying the hell out of me too. I hate how only Imogen is totally on Terese's side when she's the one who's been wronged. :angry:Quote:

Terese is a woman who has put up with a lot more than most (with the other woman across the road) than I am sure most of us would in real life if we were in her shoes. She has a right to be angry - her doubts have been justified - she was right along. I would expect any woman in her shoes to be grumpy and lash out. She may be a demanding woman - but who hasn't got one of those in our lives, but she has tried to make it work for all - how many of us would have done that.
The Brad / Lauren issue - emotions built upon past memories of what might have been ..... but this is the now and people are getting hurt cos they are luvved up in the past.
I found this link that explains their history (The Perfect Blend website) - extremely messy - and after reading this I really hope Lauren gets what she deserves - and its not a happy ending.

Me too! Josh is being awful! Glad Courtney dumped him.Quote:

I really want Terese to be the one who starts divorce proceedings, for Brad to get served with the papers and stand there with his mouth open like a gormless goldfish ��
