Well, so I stayed up last night to watch the Bethesda conference. At my mum's suggestion, I decided to set my alarm for 3am and try to have little nap beforehand. Except it turned out, having '3' stuck in my head, I'd set the alarm for 3.45, not 2.45. So I ended up waking up about quarter to 4. I got up and tried to watch the rest of it. Things were going well, until I tried to make the video fullscreen, and my entire computer froze and I had to shut it down. When I turned it back on, it went straight back to the livestream, where I'd left off. Then it froze again - but only on the embedded video, I hadn't made it fullscreen, so I was able to reload the page. But that actually took me back to the beginning of the video, 2 hours before, for half an hour of an 'it's coming' page and then another half hour of pre-show. But I managed to skip through it, and got to watch the whole conference. It turned out it had been delayed by about 15 minutes, so I hadn't even missed as much of it as I'd thought. But overall, it meant I ended up staying up till 5am to watch it, rather than 4am.

Think I'm just gonna stay up to watch the Sony one at 2am tonight.

Anyway.

Emmerdale

What an array of unlikeable people we had onscreen last night.

Coronation Street

What the actual fuck, Corrie?

Billy and Todd have no chemistry. Billy doesn't even look at him. What the fuck?

Livestreams are so the worst of badness.

i was flummoxed that they were going to pretend Billy/Todd might ever in any circumstance be a thing, but to pretend that Billy was already falling for him, or had fallen for him, or... like you say he barely looks at him. When he was telling him that there was someone else, I honestly thought Todd was going to MISTAKENLY think it was him. and Billy was going to laugh and go 'oh god no', and then have a secret boyfriend we didn't know about because it made THAT LITTLE SENSE. I still vaguely feel like surely Billy is playing some sort of con of making Todd love him and then using that to straighten things out in some unfathomable way because that makes more sense than Billy being in love with Todd.

Also, how weird was billy about being able to tell Sean things? Like yeah, he can't tell him what Sarah confessed, but at least tell him that something was confessed to you and todd found out independently so it wasn't like you'd gone and confided in him for no reason? And like maybe all his terrible reactions to Sean were meant to be proof of his love for Todd but aslkdhfowijeds, SO BAD.

I know! It was already ridiculous that he didn't tell Sean about his brother, because...why? After everything they'd already been through, and his own morality, why? But then he was just rubbish. Sean was amazing, genuinely amazing, both in not just running over to Billy to scream hysterically after seeing him and Todd together, and in just being very clear and lovely and confused about Billy not talking to him. And then Billy was just bizarre. And then he lied. Lied about being in love with Todd. Maybe he's just punishing himself for keeping Sarah's secret and letting an innocent (dead) man be accused of murder. So he's just telling himself "I don't love Sean, I love Todd, I must be in love with Todd, I'm THAT bad". Like he doesn't deserve what he actually loves, he has to force something he doesn't love on himself, so he'll suffer. Otherwise I just don't understand it. It would be bad enough, if they were going to have Billy and Todd get closer - and I would hate, but understand, if they just had awkward sexual tension. But love? It doesn't make any sense. It's the stupidest writing decision I've seen them make lately. People complain about other things, but this is by far the worst.
