Queer ships that have INSANE chemistry only to be destroyed by a writer’s room that simply doesn’t understand queer characters seems to be a universal problem across the world.

I'm done with Shortland Street and I have been for some time. They suck at writing. The only way I will come back to this show is if Phil and Gia have a chance at a story line. What about Nicole? I felt there was nothing else they could do with Maeve and Nicole.

Wieder ein wunderbares Paar, das vom Regebogenhorizont verschwindet, wie traurig. Es spiegelt irgendwie die weltweite Rückentwicklung wider, die überall spürbar ist. Deine Enttäuschung und dein Frust ist wirklich rüber gekommen und es tut mir so leid, dass dein Lieblingspaar nun Geschichte ist. Vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran, dass sich Rhea nicht mit dem Rückschritt in diese toxische Beziehung abfinden und deshalb aussteigen wollte. Da ist ein Tod ja auch wirklich endgültig. Andernfalls wäre ja noch eine andere Entwicklung möglich gewesen. Wie auch immer - es ist soo traurig und ich fühle mit dir. Leider kann ich die Serie nicht sehen aber das schlimmste ist, dass sich die ganze Welt in die falsche Richtung bewegt. Liebe ist Liebe - dafür sollten und müssen wir weiter kämpfen.

Thank you for that honest and well-written critique. Well done! My disappointment in all of it is mitigated by being so tired of the awful behavior of both Harper and Nicole the last several months that I wasn't terribly sad to see them go, even though I agree with everything you said about the writing and their (lack of, or twisted) character development. I am still so taken with Phil, and also Maeve and Gia--their characters smartness, sweetness, and strength--and those actors' considerable talent and attractiveness, that I suppose I will continue to watch the excerpts. I hope all three are given nice, supportive Sapphic relationships in 2025. I'm so tired of all the over-the-top angst, guilt, and obnoxious men getting in the way. I look forward to more of your intelligent and "real" analyses and will explore whichever other shows you have reviewed favorably. Thanks again for your quality content and guidance in navigating the waters these Sapphic ships sail on.

@@Licht-c4k That has occurred to me as well. Today I thought of something: since Harper and Drew married, has he been with any woman Harper has _not_ been with (either before the marriage, ie Nicole, or during, ie the nanny threesome)? IF that is a thing with Drew, it would kind of make sense that he might go after Phil. I can only hope that if that happens, she turns him down. She was never interested in him and might decline out of respect for Harper as well. I want Phil with a woman (obviously), and I wouldn't mind them putting her with Maeve if they don't want to bring in new characters. I think they'd be well-suited and good for each other. (And hot together, too. Heh-heh.)

I also thought it was poor writing to build up such a long love affair only to kill it completely and have Harper and Phil act cold and like strangers towards one another. To have Harper end up back with Drew seemed to make it all pointless, and I agree it was unnecessary to kill off Harper considering they had already lined up another reason for her to leave with the US job. But I would even have forgiven all of that if they had just added a montage of Harper and Phil as Harper was dying. The fact that the flashbacks were basically all about Harper and Drew really was the last straw. At least if there were some final flashes of Phil in Harper's mind it would have validated that it had all meant something and given fans that final realisation that she truly did love Phil on some level. It could have been a beautiful moment, but no.

Literally the only saving grace about the ending was the performances of the cast, the actors of Phil, Emmett, Esther and Maeve all showcased their grief outstandingly but in different ways.

I absolutely agree with everything you said, the writing and character development this year has been particularly bad although the track record with sapphic relationships has never been great and they have never known what to do with them after they got together. However i have been watching this show for 15 years plus and Nic and Harper have been a part of that so even though their characters have both been pretty shitty this year (and off and on shitty for Nic quite a few times before that) it still feels incredibly sad to have ended like this. For Harper especially as that door is completely closed now she has been killed off and i am going to really miss seeing them on my screen. I get the feeling from social media posts that neither Sally or Ria were particularly happy with their endings and that maybe it wasn't their choices to leave. Ria especially has been liking and sharing a lot of posts that highlighted the Phill and Harper relationship so it seems maybe she wasn't such a fan of the Drew is the Golden Boy narrative that was put forward by Shorty either ......

But then Harper realised she does like Phill. But because of all the shit that had happend she needed some time for herself. She tells Phill she loves her but needs some time and space but will come back and want to be with Phill. And then she leaves on the bike and the accident happends. But this ending it sucked. Imo. Ahwell...

Your heavy sigh at the beginning... I felt that. I thought your "endgame" take was overly optimistic but I appreciated how far back you delved into Harper's characterization, and that was what convinced me it was possible (even if I still felt it was remote). Having Harper ultimately leave the toxic marriage and realize that her feeling of "safety" in the marriage always came from it simply existing and being on-paper "stable" (i.e., in contrast to her upbringing) would've been so great. Though I question how well Phil would've done with the kids or how messy it could've gotten. I agree with you re: Drew's attempt as well. The Drew/Vili friendship (as well as Vili's individual storyline) is great representation for men's mental health and the importance of men checking in on each other. It shows that focusing on mental health isn't emasculating. But to brush over it all that quickly... that party scene... oh man. It was awful. And yes, the ending?!!? WTF. I can't help but think that Phil will be shamed for showing any kind of grief over Harper. Why else make Pharper public, from a writing perspective? I'm rooting for Phaeve, but I have no hope for the writing team of this show.

I understand that there are a lot of changes going on behind the scenes at Shortland Street but did they let go all of their competent writers in addition to cutting their longest tenured actresses? Because, my goodness, that was terrible. Nicole realizing that she actually had killed Louisa and turning herself into police. We're left to believe that she's on her way to prison, leaving her son and wife behind. Except that's not how this works, that's not how any of this works. Nicole was found not guilty. This isn't some obscure law, "double jeopardy" is a concept that anyone who's watched a basic procedural knows. They just decided to ignore it so they could push Sally Martin off the canvas (her IG post didn't sound like it was her choice). I'm still undecided about whether I'll continue watching. As much as I want to keep up with Gia and Phil, I fear what's coming down the road...namely a hook-up between Phil and Drew. I'm not sure I can take that.

I understand that the show is making deep cuts and perhaps the actress herself wanted out but that was just cruel. And I agree, why did they invest so much into that storyline? Maybe they were up in the air about the actress staying. While I love Phil. I will not be continuing with Shortland.

Prior to Phil and Harper, I hadn't watched Shortland Street in YEARS. When I fell upon a Pharper clip on KZbin, I went online and back to the beginning of when Phil arrived at Shorty. I caught up on all the episodes and then watched every episode this year because of Phil and Harper. When they broke up, and Harper and Drew broke up - I was hopeful for Phil and Harper. That Harper would have the opportunity to grow, and really find herself... and eventually see her way back to Phil. But nope. Like you, I am so frustrated and devastated that they ruined the potential of Phil and Harper. The writers have shat all over Phil and made her out to be a home wrecker... and then they needlessly killed off Harper. Even if Ria wanted to leave the show (rumours are she is doing a tv show in Aussie), why set up the whole NY job to then kill her off? Why spend months on Phil and Harper (the most amazing chemistry ever seen on Shorty) and have it not be the end game? I just don't get it. PLUS... (I know im rambling jow... bear with... FFS)..., why does Shorty always keep the man-child around? Years ago they sent away Sarah Potts and kept angry man-child TK around.... for YEARS we had to put up with his bullshit (one of the reasons I stopped watching Shorty) and now they've done it again and kept toxic man-child Drew around for more general unpleasant f#ckery. If the writers put Phil back with Villi - their lack of chemistry will make me want to die. If the writers put Phil and Drew together... I think I will actually vomit until I explode, and I will welcome that ending for me. The only real worthwhile thing that could keep me watching the show is if somehow get Maeve and Phil together but jaysus... am I reeeealy here for that? Jess and Jane are both fabulous actors but would they be able to create the level of chemistry that Ria and Jane had? Would Maeve and Phil even be into one another? I don't usually give much of a shit about Shorty, but I've clearly been invested in Phil and Harper because I'm still absolutely filthy with the writers. Ouff. Faaaaaark

What I've learnt from all of this: don't invest any time into soap couples. (How is Charity still with Mack?? ) Soap operas are only geared towards drama and chaos. Seeking anything meaningful there is self punishment. I'm currently enjoying Alison King's phenomenal performance but I know that Swarla isn't going to last either. Lisa needs therapy and if she continues on this path, I hope Carla ends things. She deserves better!

The producer of Corrie indicated that Swarla is in it for the long haul. Lisa is dealing with a lot - her grief, a high pressure job, and a rebellious teenager grieving for her mum. It also makes sense that she’s insecure about Carla - she’s only ever married and dated men, and quite a few of them. Lisa has been showing some growth since, and I know it’s early days, but so far they’ve dealt with all their issues like mature adults. My only gripe was that jealousy episode - not sure if the writers went for comedy, but it missed the mark.

The only good thing to come out of this storyline is that we see Phil showing that she was truly in love with Harper until the very end. My hope is that Pharper will live on through Phil and shape Phil’s character going forward.

I think they find writers on fanfiction sites. The crazier the story, the more likely that person will be hired to write for a soap. None of this made sense. I stopped watching when Drew's tantrum exposed their affair and Harper kept grovelling. It was sad to watch the whole thing unfold. It was hard enough watching an affair, when Harper said it meant nothing, it was an even tiger pill to swallow. I'm sorry for your grief and loss. They're fictional characters but they mean something to us and their loss is tough.

@100percentshipper appreciate the video. I'm over "over thinking" the whys and ifs. It just is what it is. On ria, from her previous (recent to an extent) comments, she wanted to stay. An ending to anything especially in storytelling can be soo over burdening, that the build up and what came before it essentially boils down to very little. As you importantly mentioned, harpers back story was leading to some type of evolution but the ending just wiped it all out brutally. Maybe the cuts lead to come tough decisions. I'm not aware if shortys writers or thr show runner ever comments on certain storylines? But that's the only form of closure I would get from pharper and harpers ending. It makes no sense to us, but maybe we're simply not privy to decisions behind the scenes which forced such a pitiful ending for Harper. BTW we'll never know if Harper loved Phil. Was never made clear but maybe again the forced ending put a stop to it

My hypothesis is that Sally didn't want to leave but got budget cut, whereas Ria chose to leave. If this is accurate then they probably chose Harper to die over Nicole in case Shortland Street somehow survives the recession and they can afford to get Sally back in the future. If the quite frankly abysmal quality of writing we've suffered for most of this year continues into next year I don't think the show will survive beyond next year, but here's hoping things eventually get fixed and Sally can come back to restore Nicole's character to her former glory after 6 months of the writers' complete and utter destruction of it.

This is the level we get from soup operas. The best couple so far is Tessa and Mariah but I will be far from surprise if they choose to add a male character from someones past and shake their relationship (the oldest plot ever). Here in Brazil soup operas are THE THING and there are TONS of couples with awful plots. It is really stressful. The last 10 years have been better but there is still a looooong way to go

They killed Harper! Grrr. Spot on review. SS where do you get these writers??? Shame for screwing up this storyline. Nic I can live without! So, there is that. I did love Leanne’s sapphic period and would have love more of them on screen. Until next time.

I'm not keen to see Phil and Gia together. They are mates. They have no chemistry. Plus, isn't Gia only into guys?

All i can say is that's soap operas for you they write the worst lesbian storylines and what's the end result failure look at neighbours home and away pure failure they can't beat shows like EastEnders Corroination Street Emmerdale or even Hollyoaks no wonder why soap opera writers hate writing lesbian storylines because they can't think of anything else i hope shorland Street learns from this utter garbage at least put in a teen lesbian relationship at least people will watch something like that because older lesbian relationships are a pure joke

I’m in the US and didn’t start following Shortland until Harper and Phil got together. The one thing I hope they don’t do is put Drew and Phil together. I won’t be watching anymore though.

Sadly I am seeing it as they will build up tension and bonding by mourning over Harper together 😢

Wow haven't watched in a while 2 major characters gone. But if the actors wanted out you can't really blame the show.

A handful of shows that has queer women in them has irritated me because of how poorly done the writing was and what could have been but everything about this show and how they did Phil and Harper dirty pissed me off. So much toxicity…. Everything about Drew just pisses me off. And then have everything happening Harper just runs back to him before the ending… yikes and the ending (like you’ve said) making everything about drew and then showing the memories of drew and Harper was extremely annoying. 🙄

I can’t say I am surprised, but I am appalled at the way harper, Phil and Nicole’s characters have been portrayed. None of the storylines even make sense and I don’t understand why they’ve ended 2 major characters who are both loved… and queer. Anyways what a waste of time. poor Phil having to stay in that weird show, she will be with drew next. Never ever watching it again. It seems like they were wanting to get more views with harper and Phil and then they aborted that goal and decided to crash and burn the whole show
