SOAP Update: 7de Laan Up In Bright Smoke, Mother In Laws, Murders and Affairs.
A 7de Laan Update
Okay fine, I was bored with the title so combined some of the more recent, recent being quite some time, happenings in everyone’s favourite Avenue- 7de Laan and judging from the title 7de Laan is sounding as bad as Days of our Lives, throw in an island and a few murders and we have a Days of our Lives copy. Okay so much drama.
Okay let’s report on the latest happenings of Dezi and her future up in smoke.
For 2007, we have to learn to be positive and realise that everything happens for a reason, although we should never just give up when an obstacle lies in our way- from inspiration from the evil Terrblachesness Madelina, you remove that obstacle- at all costs. We’ll be subtle and say, just make sure you avoid it and move on.
Now what I am trying to say, is Dezi look at the store room half burnt, rather than fully burnt at all (not that it even is). Okay for those like me who’ve been slack with viewing this is what happened, quick, quick low-down.
The lazy Hillsiders, who are waitresses and everything else don’t know the art of ironing, so when their costumes arrived, un-ironed, they add to more of Dezi’s stress who organises for Maria and Tessa to iron. So anyways alls well that starts bad, and they end up ironing the costumes. Now never leave a girl with no degree and only a waitress job as experience to switch everything off. This girl switches off every iron but Maria’s and even looks around to check, and despite the light flashing, she gives it a miss. But hell do you blame her? Maria iron’s day in, day out, you’d expect her to know these things!
Anyways someone’s cat, must be Kerneels- I don’t know I can’t even remember what Tannie Schoeman (was that her name)’s cat even looked like! Anyways the cat jumped from nowhere onto the ironing board and hit over the iron onto a bunch of clothes of the floor- tsk, tsk. Now this is a storeroom, not a kids room. Why is there stock just laying on the floor- I’ll never ever visit a boutique after this! And yes, you guessed right, the clothes caught alight, then the fire alarm when off and the old water started showering down and messing and damaging the stock. Funny enough the stock was all covered in white plastic, but that’s what the writer’s want us to believe.
With no stock, no insurance, Dezi and Jan Hendrik close down the Boutique “Till Further Notice” about it’s future. Does this spell the end of the Boutique? No, it doesn’t. They’ll be back, don’t you worry, they will be back in one form or another, whether Dezi turns the Terrblancheness Mansion into a walk in boutique or whether she goes around with racks into The Deli or OppieK, Dezi will be fine.
However keeping to my point about being an optimistic person, I see so much potential here. So much potential. After having a beating from Countess Madelina from the mouth, and Dezi’s pathetic husband showing less sympathy than an indoor lizzard, Dezi can choose to resurrect Sandra from god knows where, pull her back to 7de Laan and help re-launch the boutique, she can use the info against the Terrblanches to lure Sandra back and then blackmail Madel into some finances, Madel will then, from bad and poor business decisions with Barney’s Sister Robyn (See Below for more) be financially broke. I don’t think Dezi will have the heart to incriminate and send her balding husband and bald Monster in Law in a Wig to Prison, but it would be fun seeing them there, although it would be great seeing them step down from their ravishing lifestyle and because of financial problems the two, oh and Evalina the every so faithful imaginary domestic, move into the store room of T&T and live there. Hehe the shame and humiliation will be more than enough, till Madelina Terblanchesness turns herself in for the 101 odd ‘white collar’ crimes she’d committed over the course of the series run. We’d be finally be rid of a tiring old emotional eyed character who works on my last nerve. In prison she can find God and move to Rome and work in a Missionary.
So much potential, just have to keep positive that someone from 7de Laan reads this and decides to implement my radical ideas.
Okay it’s Below now. Normally people make deals with the devil always, in real life and soaps, this time the Terrblanchesness made a deal with Barney’s Sister herself, the nauseating brightly dressed, can’t decide if I belong on Cartoon Hookie or MadTV character Robyn de Bright.
I have so many reservations about this character and it’s been expressed thoroughly on the relevant 7de Laan threads, but for once I will look past her hideous smile, nauseating tone of voice and bright wardrobe and look at the inner evil of this poorly written character. Robyn has the chance of redeeming herself and if her business deal is the final nail in the coffin of the Terrblanchesness then I will be jumping for joy to rather than execute her, send her to an asylum far, far away in one of those small town Oom Oubas always talks about. Keep an eye on this storyline, because I have been paying much attention, Robyn and Madel together in a storyline is a motivation and channel changing factor.
In other news, Emma is apparently returning home next week, has Bertha given birth? May it must be, but she’s going on holiday again afterwards so I guess not. I saw she phoned Karien she looks so down and Ryno looks so down too but Karien is been visiting Ryno at the Boekwinkel, one too many times for my liking. Speaking of Karien, oh and that reminds me, I’m still in anger and bitterness after that George/Karien/Wilmien Storyline I stopped watching during the Festive Season and hardly watch now days. Back to my point, don’t you think Karien and Altus make a perfect couple, splashed over the cover of TV Plus in a Wedding Dress and Altus in a Funky Suit, the two make a gorgeous couple, the cover also features Isidingo’s Len and Generation’s Queen. I really think the magazine is hinting at something between the two, they look amazing together. It would be a copyright infringement to give you the text, not that it tells us much if anything happens, but still go out and buy your Latest (14 Feb) Issue of TV Plus. Hey this blog even has product placements!
Dance Competition time, I will not cross this border, TVSA Mod and Blogger Shirm has a great update in 7de Laan
Dance Competition Thread. Anyways I watched and I think the cast is brilliant, I have my reservations about Mandela and Agnes but why where they awarded the highest points? Agnes was stiff and Mandela looked completely disconnected from her. It didn’t seem right. Look forward to the Finals and glad to see Vusi got exposed to be no one other than Danny. Thank Goodness Robyn De Bright didn’t enter, I have a 2.5 year old brother and he makes me watch Barney, I’m afraid her performance might just top Barney’s dance. It would be like a mobile rainbow, colours everywhere!!!
In closing this Vince/Cecile/Celeste/Xander/Vanessa and the Bad Hair Do Storyline is a bit upsetting. I am hating this character Cecile/Celeste who they now call Celeste! She is complicating things. Quick run down if you missed what’s happened, like me, 7de Laan is using lots of repetitive dialogue for quick catch up. So basically Vince and Celeste are having affair, a marital one for Celeste who reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith, bless her soul RIP, anyways Celeste is married to an extremely old and I mean older than Madel old, which is pretty damn old, in face he looks like his Madel and Nicholas’ age combined. Anyways he married him for his wealth, *ring Anna Nicole Smith?* Anyways her and Vince meet and fall in ‘lustve’ even after discovering the truth about her and her marriage, Vince still agrees to an affair with her. When did the moral flight out the window?! So one night at O’Malley’s, (okay why haven an affair and go out in public, when you want to remain so private), Celeste’s husband calls and she runs outside to answer the phone where it will be less noisy, so he doesn’t know she’s outside, however she witnesses a murder and tells Vince. Unable to testify, because their affair will be exposed Vince agreed to testify and pretend to see the murder, but got so many facts wrong that his Lawyer brother designed to flush out the lies caught him out and soon he fesed up to everything, don’t ask me how Vanessa got involved, since her last storyline with Thysie and Lindsay Vanessa’s resorted to extreme measures to get noticed- a terrible new wig or hair do. Looks like a mop- who the hell is the 7de Laan stylist?! Anyways Xander must have felt sorry for her and include her in this. Celeste now in a predicament doesn’t know what to do, so she confesses to her husband about everything after there’s a chance Xander might loose his job to just protect his brother. All’s well that ends well? Well not quite hey, I’m hoping they drag this storyline out a bit more and capitalise on it!
Here goes my future version; After confessing to her husband, Old Geyser decides to divorce his wife and leave her broke, Celeste soon realises that she won’t survive living with Vince only on his Deli Income, so she plots a plan to murder her husband and put the blame on Vince, thus inheriting millions, Xander soons become suspicious and follows Celeste around, when Vanessa decides to visit Celeste’s husband to tell him what Celeste is planning, Celeste holds her hostage and kills her husband, Vince and Xander arrive, but are they there in time to save Vanessa’s life?
I’ll let you decide.
Happy TV Tubing 7de Laaner’s.
