Bradley - Thank God For Breaks...Now How to Break It Without Them Noticing...

EPaws LMAO! Sporty, I gotta love your comment!

RosalynCabenson LOL poor Bradders

san819 Totally off topic... I know I've been harsh on him because he's an insensitive git...but he's seemed to be a bit sad or isolated in the picks this past week...makes me just a little sorry for him. Hmmm is it just me or does he always seem a bit happier during down town when Angel is around?

EPaws BINGO! Well spotted, San819. Laters babe.

sportyshuie Well San819 ... i think you're spot on regarding that ... Maybe he do misses her ... she has after all the ability to make anyone around her happy ... infectious smile, ladies! He definately could use her help right now ... she would have known how to get rid of that pesky crown!!

kbrand5333 Or at least she could make him forget about it for a little while... :)

san819 Sorry ladies...looks like I'm wrong read on another board that his girlfriend left the UK to film abroad. Maybe that's why he seems upset.

kbrand5333 What girlfriend?

san819 It's all over the web that he and Georgia King are dating. IDK if it's true. Who are the Brits on board...are they in your tabloids?

EPaws Awwwwwwwwwwwww and here I thought it was that hot mess on his head LOLOL! Yeeeeeeeeeeees that...riiiiiiiight. Night.

HumbleQueen Yeah, San, I started with Merlin back in the winter and completely out of character for me was that I got kind of interested in the actors' lives, lol. I really liked Arwen and when my daughter told me there were all these rumors that Bradley and Angel were a real couple, I put on my little sherlocks Holmes cap and decided to investigate. Saw lots of pictures and heard lots of reports that they were always together but never got it confirmed. I love a mystery and it's still a mytery!! Next thing I know I hear reports he's dating Georgia King and I do think he was for a while, and I looked around for info on THAT and got little more than a few pics of them out together. Don't know the extent of it at the time, but then later I got reports that they were no longer going out. Again, nothing confirmed either way. Who knows? I'd say these folks have done a good job of keeping their private lives secret and who knows but them what's really going on? Like someone recently told me, it's really not our business, but I still like to do a little sneaky prying, lol. We joke a lot about them, I know, but we'll find out what the real deal is when they want us to. Right now, they don't want us to know! About Brad in these latest photos, I haven't viewed him as sad so much as he seems quite pensive of late, and has been in most of the videos and pictures I've seen since about early July. He seems calmer and more peaceful actually in my estimation, sort of like he's grown a good bit and is satisfied with where he is in life. Speaking of him as being more pensive, he seems to be thinking a lot about things, whatever it is, and I first noticed a bit of this last April when he was signing at the Kapow comic con. For some reason it hit me and I wrote that on a LJ thread about him seeming to be deep in thought. I can see he still can have fun, but to me he's a much different Bradley than the one I see in old videos and pictures and to tell you the truth, as much as I liked him before, I like him even better now.

EPaws Yup it will all be as it will be...that's life. So any bets on what Angel will wear tomorrow? Something floaty and chic perhaps?

san819 No matter what anyone says HQ a bit of gossip is fun. I don't buy tabloids but you bet I read them while on line at the grocery store...lol. You know I try not to think about him too much but in the spring he Colin and Angel were laughing and playing around all the time...it's what made looking at all the photos so much fun...this week not so much. Anywho...on to brighter subjects...when do you think we'll start getting pics and spoilery from the screening? EP always seems to be the one to find and post them...I'm too excited.

lv2rt I bet if they were dating back then they got so much heat about it that they decided to either stop altogether or go underground. For me that's one of the reasons I try not to get into actors' personal lives. It's hard enough in a relationship for us non-celebrities. To have their lives so public and the hate that is likely to come from that, especially for a mixed couple such as this, it has to be hard. In fact I would believe they got hella heat because the fictional couple Arthur and Gwen gets the most irrational heat that if their really were dating it would have had to be just unbearable. So very sad. Life can be difficult enough and if you find someone that makes you happy, how dare some stranger tell you you can't. It's so unfair.

san819 Really? If they were dating ever...do you really think that she didn't know he was/is caucasian or he that he overlooked the fact that she is bi racial...probably not. I mean it is the 21st century so it's not like they broke ground (if they ever dated)and it certainly isn't even close to the first bi racial couple on tv...so can we just pretend we still live in the real world. The only reason I can see to hide a relationship would be because of the silly teen fan girls...but that would be the case if Bradley or Collin dated anyone publicly. Oh and regarding the violins...There is not a celeb on earth who doesn't go in knowing they will loose some privacy...most leak info on their personal lives...and just one last aside. We should have learned everything we need to know in life by kindergarten...and the very 1st lesson is..."Life ain't fair" sorry to rain reality...yet again but sometimes there's as much angst here as on the show.

lv2rt Wow, San. Why would my totally supportive comment of any POSSIBILITY that there could have been at sometime even the slighted chance that there might have been a personal relationship between these two offend you so? Was the word if confusing? I'm in a interracial marriage right now. Have been for 26 years, that's reality. I know first hand what it's like and I'm not a celebrity. Thank you so much. Your statement clearly proves my point more than anything I could have said.

EPaws Excuse me one moment. Someone needs to back the truck up, that would be you San819. Many on this group consider you an absolute troll and FONT OF NEGATIVITY TO BE WATCHED the fact that you felt the need to actually attack lv2rt using that as an excuse for your commentary says everything.YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO GO AWAY AND FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF WHY, THIS DISTURBS YOU SO MUCH. Cause you see, the only time a human being gets so riled. So bent out of shape is if it is PERSONAL. Good day.

HumbleQueen Ladies, you know, something. We're here to have fun. This show and these people who star in it have nothing to do with our personal lives and happiness, at least I hope they don't. We're starting to have an argumentative tone creep in and we need to STOP it right now. I am speaking to each one of us. Let's enjoy ourselves. Conjecturing is something we do here and it's done in a good natured way without putting down the actors and without getting bent out of shape over what they do and don't do. And we definitely don't want to have a sarcastic tone directed at each other for any of the things we say here. We love our couple and we love the people who play their characters. We know they have faults but this is not the place or forum for any kind of attack directed at them or the people who happen to be their fans. If any person finds that they're uncomfortable with this place they just need to bow out gracefully and life will go on for them and for the people who enjoy it here. There is no moderator or leader on fanpop clubs that I know of but I sure did see a bad tone start up at the Merlin club and I know none of us wants that to happen here. So I can't speak officially on behalf of this club, but I sure can speak for myself (and some others too I'm sure). Anyone and everyone is welcome here, but we all have to maintain the atmosphere that has caused most of us to like this place as much as we do. Respect for each others' opinions and keeping it a light and happy place, not a place to badger and bicker. Age wise I could at least be mom to most of you so some respect due me for that, I hope, lol. Speaking from my heart.

daenerys I concur, Nanna. Thanks for that.

san819 If a troll is someone who doesn't feed into the warped fantasies some of you display by acting as if you actually know these people then troll I am. Help me but what personal attack? I don't know any of you...so I certainly have nothing against any of you and have never said anything personal about anyone here. But yeah it gets under my skin abit when I read stuff like "Don't worry about someone's behavior cause they are cute...or I forgive actor x...or "don't worry girls he got told" or the totally unrealistic view interracial dating is some huge burden to over come c'mon...what? We don't know these people...but okay this isn't exactly the real world and I try to remind myself that it's not just about watching the show with most of you it's where you come to socialize with "friends", where as for me I come to share thoughts about the show and get info about what's coming up in the new series...i.e. you guys have the best pictures...and it's my fault if I read the comments because I already know that's not the best idea. There are lots of us in interracial relationships...and I've not found it to be a burden. Sure on occasion people outside of our social group will stare but that has nothing to do with our relationship. So it strikes me as unrealistic to act as if it's some huge hardship to overcome. It's not...and sorry I usually say what I think without the b/s factor nothing personal intended.

daenerys San, unfortunately not everyone has your rosy experience of interracial relationships. So kindly do not undermine countless people's very real struggles with this issue.

san819 Now to the personal @EP expressing an opinion (even a divergent one) about an idea is not a personal attack. Calling someone a troll on the other hand is. So since we've gone there...I think you are a bully a control freak and a bad influence...and my solution was just to ignore you...it's okay if you do the same.

EPaws Oh ...you again? Please. What-EVA!

Thayzee We all react to situation in life differently and some may and may not be affected, so we cannot judge or cast one's view on each other...San, c'mon, it's better to be cheerful and happy... This is a very happy atmosphere and we all including you ship Angel and Bradley, so let us all get along.....

11rod88staff11 there are still to this day in 2017 some very real struggles the world over with interracial partnerships. and for the couple in question its that and also far more complex than that.
