Haven't posted about my vids in a while but I'm working on a follow up to this one from last month to go live in the next couple of days.

Do you have any thoughts on the Harper/Drew vowel renewal thing?

I most certainly do. One thing, I love that the detail continues to surprise me in this story. Like I definitely did not see a vow renewal coming but then in hindsight, yeah I can see it now.

So I see Harper desperately trying to go back to who she was pre-Phil. I mean Phil called it out in their 'breakup' convo. She's been through huge trauma. Harper is a runner by nature. When things get really really hard she runs. In this storyline she bailed to the US post Earthquake after admitting to Phil that she had feelings of some kind ("I couldn't handle the thought that I might lose you."). There are plenty of story examples of this trait from Harper through the years.

The will they won't they is how you create a longer-term narrative on a soap. Keeps it interesting and people hooked and I'm pretty much here for it.

The renewal though. So I think Harper is riddled by guilt and has been at varying levels throughout the whole affair. She was on the verge of telling Drew right before she was almost shot. That's trauma, Harper has trauma from childhood (and all the soap mayhem she's been through) so it's not a surprise she ran straight back to what she knows, ie Drew. What she's feeling now is a heightened sense of guilt most likely and the need to 'fix' the affair. The problem for Harper is that this is a temporary state and those pesky feelings she has for Phil are real. The other thing that happened right before this is that Harper got as close to telling Phil she's in love with her as we've seen so far and there is a repeating pattern happening.

She's crawled back into her cave of denial so far that she can't see herself right now, but she's heading for a good look in the mirror, I think. Do I think that renewal is gonna happen? Nope not really but let's see. I love the writing team behind this story, I'm hard to surprise lol. Part of me thinks it would be pretty cool if they connect the threads of Harper's story by having her leave Drew at the altar for Phil ❤️‍🔥

I don't know exactly how this is gonna play out but as I keep telling folks in the Discord, I'm not worried. I'm convinced I'm not on the Titanic and that we are in fact on the Love Boat with this ship (Phil is too damn good for Harper for that not to be real and they said it via Harper "It wouldn't have gone this long if it wasn't important"), but the waters are never smooth sailing.

Hang in there, it's good soapy drama.

Shortland Street, Harper/Phil

I wanted a gif set of this because the mirror and necklace scene is such an old soap staple. Takes me back to the 80s.

I tried doing them with text but it's better without.
