I'm officially making this a Mickey Webb oral fixation thread starting now. 2 pens in 1 episode.

For @myfandomsarefickle

In which Zain's reaction is all of ours everytime Mickey does it 🤣🤣🤣

Well since @myfandomsarefickle tagged me I guess I'll go for it.

Aardman Animations. The gang past and present of this little Bristol based studio are just amazing. Even in a world where CGI can cut corners so easily, they don't rely heavily on it and build the most cute little props and sets. Massive respect to them.

Doctor Who. I've seen at least something from every era of the show's existence for better or for worse.

The Bill. Having watched the entire show from beginning to end I may not remember every story but got a lot to say on the different eras

30s, 40s and 50s animation. I guess particularly the works of Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. I've always skirted around the fandom for the show and I'm glad I did, but the show was top-notch for me as someone who never liked the franchise growing up. Uh well I don't really know anyone who I could probs tag, but if you see this and up for it then go for it.

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.

List 5 topics you can talk on for an hour without preparing any material.

Revisited The Bill episodes Echoes Part 1 & 2 and damn it hit me as much if not more the second time around. Hannah Waterman was fantastic, but then I knew she would be having been an EastEnders watcher back in the 2000s. She absolutely smashed her plot lines as Laura Beale and I remember being sad when she was killed off.

Joe Da Costa's performance as Andrew Landor was also brilliant. There was a girl in my class in junior school who had was in the similar area of special needs as Andrew was and could often lash out and was bullied quite often. Sadly she died about a decade ago. Then of course Chris simmons and Simon Rouse. A great plot that again shows how great a duo these two were and how great actors they both are.

Jack once again being a great support to try and help Mickey how he can. Him taking on the responsibility of having to tell Mickey bad news not once but twice and the first time ending with Mickey taking refuge in Jack's office as he took in the news.

I had to add this closing shot from part 1 because it is just so damn well shot.

The 2-parter as a whole is just magnificent. Gonna skip a few episodes ahead to the next plot this family feature in because damn these 2 stories as a whole are just fantastic.

Episode context (S23E30): A 15 year old is found dead in a swimming pool after a house party because another girl deliberately spiked her drink with LSD "to teach her a lesson". The first time I saw this scene it hit me so hard. As someone who had a target on my back throughout the entirety of my school years I wish I could have had the guts to say to my bullies what Mickey said to this bitch.

Some might argue he went too far with what he said but damn I think he did the dead girl justice not only in catching the one who pretty much sent her to her death but also took the wind right out of her smug sails.

And as always, Chris Simmons nailed the emotions of this scene 100%.

What a start to 2024 with the BBC Iplayer uploading the first of 2 episodes of EastEnders that Chris Simmons made an all too small appearance in. 😍😍😍 A part of me would like to see Chris play a regular character in the show in future, but then another part of me just couldn't stick having to watch the show regularly again. Soap operas are just too depressing for me at the best of times. 🤔

The end talk between Mickey and Mia as well. Again perfectly emoted the whole way through. Finally telling her about Delaney, the tensing when Mia touched his shoulder. That brief moment he feels like Mia's gonna walk away possibly because of what she now knows before she thankfully turns back and invites him for a drink.

I'm straight up pissed at the curse that seems to follow long-time 'The Bill' actors cos Chris is just such a phenomenal actor who never overdoes it. He gets the tone and emotions just right every damn time.

And again, f*ck the writers for ruining Mickey and Mia's relationship.

*Yeah okay, I still suck at subtitling gifs properly. I know.* The S22 episode 'Every Jack Has His Jill' is another one of those great episodes where we get Jack once again being a great pillar of support in Mickey's life. From very early on in the episode when it's early morning and they're the only 2 in the CID office obviously just chatting to Jack doing this talk.

And once again we're gifted with great acting from Chris Simmons and Simon Rouse. This episode as a whole is great. It shows Mickey is clearly starting to piece his life together and we see him start to heal from what happened 3 years prior.

It makes me glad that the writers didn't ever use Mickey's experience as a way for the station itself to use Mickey as a tool to get victims of assault to open up. The two episodes where Mickey interacted with victims, (In this episode and S25's 'Cry Wolf') it was on HIS terms to be a little open that he'd gone through such a horrible experience too.

Also gotta give a shout out to Laura Dos Santos who played Carrie in this episode. A nice ended episode with Mickey and Mia, just a shame the writers had to then go and piss all over it. I was rooting for them so much.

It also makes me wonder, did Mickey ever tell his dad what happened to him? Seems they were barely ever in contact.

When it came to duos in The Bill, I adored the bromance of Des Taviner and Reg Hollis. Reg spent most of his time at the station as the guy no one wanted to know unless it was fed rep business during his time in the position. No one wanted to hear about his bloody trains, gardening or any other random fact dumping he may inflict upon them.

Des was quite a hot head at the best of times, but there were times like the S18 E38 episode when the station's lottery syndicate lost out on the jackpot due to Reg changing a number on his own line (which had he left it alone would have been a winning line) and then this scene from E39 where he was the best friend Reg could have been given until the station fire plot line then came along and ruined it.

Sharing the tweet itself rather than uploading the pics but OMFG Chris looks so damn scrumptious. Hopefully Misty Moon will come good and give us who couldn't attend the reunion a way to watch/listen to it.

A young Jack Meadows making his first arrest...kinda. 😆😆😆

Yep, a young Simon Rouse in the 1982 Doctor Who serial 'Kinda'. If you're UK based *whispers* or have a VPN, why not go watch it on the BBC Iplayer? or I'm assuming US based Disney+ will also have it(?)

New Shaun The Sheep content is always good Shaun The Sheep content. Here's hoping the BBC show 'The Flight Before Christmas' special again this year.

Okay so this passed through my feed again and Mickey's line about Jo being careful with the knife actually seems genuine. Like the tone of how he said it in comparison to everything else in the scene…Depending on when this episode was filmed, Sally was pregnant in the mid-late part of 2005 and still filming on the show. Was the jumper possibly covering her baby bump? Or am I just accidentally insulting Sally by saying the beginning shot makes her look a bit more plump than usual? Also the filing cabinet she's trying to access, we can see from the top drawer, is basically empty. Just wondering…

"I'll give you some northern welly in a minute!"

I love the banter between Mickey and Jo.

That was it. That's what mostly went in the 9pm eps. The banter.

Some more of Chris Simmons as the utterly batshit crazy Stuart Sumner. I only really focused on this plot line in the show but daaaaayum magnificent stuff. Chris as Stu was so friggin good. The polar opposite of anything he's ever played before. So twisted a character. So magnificent an actor. And everyone else involved in that plot line were just as amazing. What Kieron Richardson especially must have gone through having to take Ste down such a dark path. I know it gets mentioned he's a character already with a dark history, but THIS was just... Overall I'm glad I watched it but it was such a rollercoaster of emotions that I don't think I could commit to watching the show full time. But then I don't watch ANY soap opera based shows any more so it's not just this one. All I can say is I get WHY people watch this show in their millions and how it's continued running on as long as it has. Bravo to everyone on the Hollyoaks team for their dedication to this show and tackling the big issues no matter how difficult it is to deal with.

I have questions and I hate they were never answered. Mickey's denial comes in so damn quick here, but it shows Jack thinks something of him to discuss him with his own son. Was Jack comparing them both? Mickey the teenage tearaway who grew up to be a DC whilst Ben went down the path of drug dealing? Using Mickey as an example of how it's possible to turn one's life around?

In the Hollyoaks universe, she doesn't want anything to do with him. Nice to see Chris and Moya on screen together again briefly though. 😆😆

Mickey and Robbie as a couple grew on me.

I admit never really watched Hollyoaks, but been dipping in on the Far-right storyline if purely for Chris Simmons as Stuart Sumner and he is magnificent. I hate the character's guts, but he's played so well. Such a manipulative fker.
