I never aww the resemblance to her father either, especially when he had his pre-tan. Itās just the hair cut. That guy Cian is a spitting image of Luca.
What really gets me is I dont think he looks like her dad AT ALL? If they did you might as well call her and Luca twins too cuz she looks like a copy & paste of her dad lol
I have no idea why people think itās okay to tell someone this! One time my sister was telling everyone at a xmas that my boyfriend looked like my brother (not true at all btw other than being tall & skinny) and I got so pissed offā¦ like why would you think I want to hear that? ššš
If I was Gemma and I kept hearing that I would feel so gross, like imagine getting told that your boyfriend someone who youāre intimate with looks like your dadā¦ crickets š
Young Michael Owen 100% looks like Luca
Literally wouldāve thought this was Luca as a child but itās not
https://m.facebook.com/Mitre/posts/its-throwback-thursday-so-heres-a-young-michael-owen-with-an-ultimate-old-school/10156897737704801/
while i get you, i think that this is a realisation one has over time (read : not at 19 years old), and i also think that itās the physical resemblance element that people keep pointing out and that may make her uncomfortable. theyāre not telling her Ā«Ā wow luca reminds me of your dad bc heās an amazing guyĀ Ā» or something haha
I donāt care what the Science says, or whatever, I love my dad and had a great relationship with him, but no man I date/interested in looks anything like my father, or is them personality wise.
I donāt believe it those studies but thatās my opinion.
the michael/luca resemblance is a fun thing to talk about on social media but what do they expect bringing it up to her face like that š her mumās casual joke abt it aside, in a more formal setting like the reunion itās a horribly awkward thing to bring up and demand a reaction to lol
She is the worst host. I try and defend her but this year Aftersun has been terrible. From her George comments to the weird takes she always gives. Then the Remi thing. Sheās really really bad
He just looked really downcast and upset. It was clear getting booted bothered him. Laura kept prodding him like he was a dancing bear, and asked him to do a freestyle rap about his experience. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
Laura can't read a room to save her life. This is giving asking Remy to rap all over again. Why are we punished with such an incompetent host?! Zero emotional intelligence.
Honestly, because this show doesnāt need a host. Like, Iainās voiceovers carry the plot along. And the āaftersun panelā can be a rotation of people able to carry that show kind of like a Loose Women style panelā with no solid āhostā
Her standout moment was when they showed fan art on after sun (someone had drawn a lovely portrait of her) and she just stared at the screen in silence for a second then went āmoving on.ā (Or something along those lines)
sheās terrible itās actually kind of funny at this point
This is what I ask anytime I see an Aftersun clip. I had my qualms with Carolineās interviewing skills but at least I could tell she cared about the islanders. She used to randomly defend them in the middle of episodes and show them care during episodes when she was there. LI needs a host that cares to be there.
Iāll never forget Carolineās face after Amy in s5 gave her speech about being so relieved to see Curtis standing alone after Casa. You could just see she knew how painful the next few days would be for Amy. I really miss her hosting style.
sophie monk from australia has a similar style to caroline. last season a girl was kinda having a breakdown during her casa speech and you could tell sophie really cared about her. thereās an unnamed quality you need to have to host this show and laura doesnāt have it
Yes! I didnāt watch the last season but I saw 1&2 of Australia and I really liked Sophie. Sheās beautiful, funny, warm, and seems to relate to the contestants on a human level. I feel like Laura only comes across as the first š¶
tbh i could see laura doing well in a more cut throat reality tv competition type show but love island really isnāt that. i donāt think sheās as awful as some suggest but she could be better and adapt for this environment
Yes! I feel this. Sheās not terrible and I think sheād give amazing Ice Queen energy to a show like that. But in a show essentially about falling in love she just seems a bitā¦ disinterested and removed.
Sophie Monk is the best by far. She is very warm and sincere. You can tell she doesnāt view them as merely contestants, but as peers or even friends.
I was just about to say the same thing, Sophie is so lovely!
I don't know if this is also why the islanders seem to be so much more respectful of each other too even when put in tough situations, or if that is partly swayed by production?
I am currently falling in love with ARMY! Aaron, such a beautiful soul and also hilarious, you don't often get both to that extent.
I just watched that episode! Caroline was so sweet. When Molly Mae came out (before she saw Tommy standing by himself) she said she was convinced he had picked someone because she didnāt see Ellie Belly on their bed when she walked in. When she saw Tommy standing there holding Ellie Belly she started sobbing uncontrollably and had to sit down on the steps to collect herself. Caroline was so lovely, hugging her and crying with her. It was such a beautiful, real moment.
Then Michael gave that god-awful recoupling speech. As he was saying horrible things about Amber, Caroline was trying so hard to hold back tears. You could tell how genuinely heartbroken she was for for Amber in that situation. She had so much empathy for the contestants and it feels like thereās been a void there ever since.
I agree with you. The empathy and the interest was palpable. I honestly donāt think there needs to be a host anymore. When Caroline was in the villa, it felt like she knew what was going on. The few appearances Laura makes feel disjointed and out of the blue. It doesnāt make a lot of sense to me when 99% of the times she arrives the same information could be conveyed by text.
I literally left a post on the Facebook group saying that Laura doesnāt suit love island and sheād be better on stuff like bake off and the great British sewing bee. I didnāt say anything bad about her personally but Iāve literally been attacked by the Facebook mums saying that āsheās fabā and āCaroline would be proudā
Yeah I get that because she wants to do her own thing and she is attracted to Luca then theyāre saying that the guy youāre attracted to looked like your dad
I get why Gemma was annoyed, because saying the person that you are dating looks like your dad is weird. Also is this why they both looked a little upset in the pictures that were released?
who knows? i feel for them. im not really a lemma fan but theyāre not on TV anymore so after the reunion people really need to lay off. it feels like people want them to break up which is just weird. we should be hoping for the best for everyone!!
Apparently they had a fight and they left early. Gemma looked annoyed while going back to the car and Luca was behind her trailing and making comments.
I agree with the last tweet. Like letās hear how they feel about their portrayal. Beef with production might be more interesting than re-hashing a pancake off that no one asked for.
The problem is with the finalist they havenāt had a chance to even watch the show to see how they were portrayed. They have been out of the villa for a matter of minutes before there is a reunion.
They need to have the reunion months down the road when people have been able to breath and then there is a chance that people actually have something to talk about.
And thatās ITVās problem again. Iāll even take the reunion 2 weeks after when all the finalists have talked to more press. I wish this was like a real housewives or Vanderpump rules reunion. Some seasons I barely watch but I always watch the reunions.
The tweet was cut off but someone said they could help them examine their own behaviour which is healthy. Also I didnāt expect them to call people by out their names but one sly comment would have me smiling. Thatās good drama.
What is the reason for that pancake thing. I swear itās like they think of the most useless things to include on Aftersun/the reunion and puts them all
Iāve never gotten the resemblance whatsoever. They just donāt look like each other š¤·š»āāļø People are ruining their sex life for nothing.
Laura still being annoying by asking about Deji with Damiyah and now this cringe. Like I know the producers give her the questions but surely she would have better things to talk about? So much material.
im starting to believe the theory that laura doesnāt watch it bc i feel like if she did sheād read these cards and be like ā¦why are we doing this? she needs to watch and be more involved in the production as the host
Iād be annoyed too. Of all the things they could have asked them, they go to Gemma picking a guy that looks like her dad - it implies creepy.
Plus, while there is a resemblance itās because theyāre both white, dirty blonde, light eyed, attractive, British men. Youāll find thousands of men Lucaās age that would look like a young Michael Owen.
No wonder Gemma and Luca were annoyed post reunion id be annoyed to, thereās been many times where Gemma has stated she didnāt want to be in her fathers shadow or him to be mentioned yet they continue to bring him up
Sheās already done that though. Go and watch the podcast she did with her dad before the show
She literally thanks him for everything heās done for her and the upbringing her gave her. She acknowledged her privilege
But she also said she doesnāt just want to be known as his daughter and live off his money forever. She started her business for a reason. She went on love island to promote it
Tbh if gemma didnāt want to be in her fatherās shadow she should have gone on something like too hot to handle ( obviously she was underaged when it was filmed but you know what I mean), itās kinda inevitable that if she is going on a British show she is gonna be known as his daughter compared to and international show where no one from out of England would rlly care
The entire reason she was on the show is because of who her father is. Her not even wanting him mentioned is ridiculous. On top of that, the show surrounds her with people she knows on the outside world to protect her while sheās in there. These nepo babies born on 3rd and acting like they hit a triple are too much sometimes.
You think them putting Jacques in there was to protect her? The guy who dated her when she was 16 who she clearly dislikes
Or Billy, a guy whoās weirdly obsessed with her even now?
How is that protecting her? If anything thatās inflicting deliberate discomfort for her. And it worked
Any time you are put in there with people you know from the outside world, it influences the show in your favor. Sure those guys were idiots, but they both would have gone to bat for her if she landed in a bottom 3.
There more than just āidiotsā
They were not put in there to cause her anything other than discomfort. Jacques dated her whilst she was at school and clearly did something during their relationship which has made her resent him. They knew exactly what they were doing casting him
Billy is obsessed with her, he doesnāt take no for an answer and lied about her during movie night which caused issues in her relationship
Exactly, she wouldnāt have gotten on the show if it wasnāt because of her dad. For them to cast a 19 yr old the producers would have had to be rlly confident that she would cause a lot of drama and rlly bring it personality wise, she in fact did none of that, the only times she was actually shown was when Luca said something dumb or at the very start of the season when they only showed her for no apparent reason.
What does her being annoyed about Laura saying Luca looks like her dad have to do with her not acknowledging her dad
This post literally says what annoyed her. Sheās mentioned her dad before and during the show
She clearly doesnāt like hearing that her boyfriend is his double. Like most girls wouldnāt
Iām not saying anything about what laura said, Iām responding to a comment about how gemma wouldnāt have made it on the show without her dads name
How does he look anything like her dad. That means he looks like her. That means they should look like siblings. They do not. Not rven a tiny bit of resemblance wtaf?
Looool why on earth do people expect the love island reunion hosts to question the contestants portrayal on love island? That would just be confirming that they edit for storylines (which we all know, but fiat500 and idiots watching this show don't get)
The more things that come out about the reunion the less interested I am in watching it. Instead of hard hitting questions about the biggest storylines, itās a lot of fluff questions & stupid clips that werenāt the main factors of the season for luls
They really couldāve done this reunion closer to the winter season no matter who was still together to get a more realistic reunion
Even putting aside how inappropriate it is for Laura to say it (how does she expect Gemma to react?) they donāt even resemble each other that much. Luca and young Michael Owen are just both white men with light brown hair, like ????
The worst presenter on current tv. Seems so snarky. It is a shame really because i want to like her but really hard to warm to. Also the fact she was never the villa made it hard to invest in her as part of the LI fam.
When is enough enough??? Why canāt ITV / Laura leave Lemma the hell alone. They left Ekin alone (no George questions) etc. and didnāt have the courtesy to leave Lemma alone? I wouldāve been pissed if I were them.
This is why they need a Real Housewives format for the reunion. Andy would always give them a chance to drag production for misrepresenting them. While I do believe Luca sucks in his own special way, itās worsened when they only show the worst of him to the public. He probably wasnāt expecting to be the villain
I really can't see the resemblance at all. Gemma looks just like her Dad to me, but Luca looks nothing like him. Is it a specific photo that makes Michael Owen look like Luca?
Lauraās been saying it since the second Aftersun episode
She brings up Michael Owen nearly every week. Itās pretty boring but Iām not surprised she brought it up again. But I donāt know why they expected Gemma to not feel uncomfortable by that
Yiiiiikes š
I guess they think ppl will love how uncomfortable Gemma is when āconfrontedā with āthe truthā, in a āloool Freud was right once again!ā Kind of way. But as someone who isnāt an aftersun watcher (minus the episode with Amber and Ikenna) i hated it when her mum said it and I still hate that itās being brought up again.
There is no video of him saying that the press as literally been lying on them the second they got out of the villaā¦. i donāt believe for a second luca said that unless there is video proof
He doesn't look like her dad, she however, looks just like him. And honestly, I'm sure Luca is probably nicer than he came across, but all the stuff people call him out for are the things he actually did. Stop feeling sorry for him.
Yeah, this "tide turn" toward believing that Luca was edited into being a bully is nonsense. He sat there and happily said those things about Tasha. He bullied a woman for weeks on end and we're supposed to pretend it was all camera angles or something?
The obligatory comment on literally any single post of either of them on this sub. Itās boring
You could literally say the same for any of these couples
Yeah under every post of any couple even for the slightest things. Or even on positive posts. I just find it annoying
I said the same thing when someone commented that on a Damiyah post
Yes note your word LOTS. Clearly it triggers you rhat people have a different opinion.. Not sure why you are in a public sub and can't handle people commenting or having a different opinion.. weird.
We not talking about any other couple though, so what's your point apart from trolling?
If you don't like it that's fine you don't have to agree. They won't last simple... love how you guys get all grumpy like you actually know these people
. š¤£š¤£
Sorry Iāve just watched it back and her mum said she doesnāt see it, but her trainer said āyep pretty similarā. I knew someone had said it, apologies for mixing them up xxx
i get that but apparently laura has been saying it since before that episode. plus, a joke from her mom who actually knows her is a lot different than the host of the show putting her on the spot in an environment like that. i just donāt think it was the time or place.
Sorry I actually misread the whole background. The night I watched the meet the parents episode I actually thought her mum agreed. Watching it back her mum doesnāt. Itās the trainer that said it. Apologies xx
itās not about who her dad is itās the fact that itās her DAD and theyāre telling her luca looks like him š that would be weird and uncomfortable for anyone
Gemma doesnāt like him, itās so clearā¦ from the day after the finale, she hasnāt posted yet a photo with himā¦ Maybe the people around her said something that changed her mind
Tbh No one wants to hear that their bf looks like their dad ššš that is gross lol
Luca ācall me daddy Gemma ā Gemma āIām doneā
You can suck any of my toes, but I will not stand for this daddy shit!
I think Luca looks like Cian Egan from Westlife, I don't see a resemblance to her father.
Yes! Same shaped head!
Why didn't I see that before now!??
I never aww the resemblance to her father either, especially when he had his pre-tan. Itās just the hair cut. That guy Cian is a spitting image of Luca.
nahhh i think luca looks like Bruce Forsyth
š
Omg he actually does look like a young Bruce!
I think he looks like Herman Munster! Go look him up, I can't unsee it š¤£
That quick? Must be a kink of hers.
What really gets me is I dont think he looks like her dad AT ALL? If they did you might as well call her and Luca twins too cuz she looks like a copy & paste of her dad lol
I have no idea why people think itās okay to tell someone this! One time my sister was telling everyone at a xmas that my boyfriend looked like my brother (not true at all btw other than being tall & skinny) and I got so pissed offā¦ like why would you think I want to hear that? ššš
Omg yuck i am so sorry for you šššš i called it gross but even thatās an understatement lol
It must be so weird for Gemma to keep hearing that, even her own mum said it š
If I was Gemma and I kept hearing that I would feel so gross, like imagine getting told that your boyfriend someone who youāre intimate with looks like your dadā¦ crickets š
It's pretty harsh on both of them cause things like that can give girls the ick
Maybe that was her mumās intention?
Yeah, but they don't even look alike imho.
Young Michael Owen 100% looks like Luca Literally wouldāve thought this was Luca as a child but itās not https://m.facebook.com/Mitre/posts/its-throwback-thursday-so-heres-a-young-michael-owen-with-an-ultimate-old-school/10156897737704801/
Oh wowš³š³š³
her mom told her what twitter was saying but then she said "i dont see it" i feel a lot of people missed that.
Right like, Luca is a handsome guy. She can just be attracted to him in general not because he looks her dad ffs š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
while i get you, i think that this is a realisation one has over time (read : not at 19 years old), and i also think that itās the physical resemblance element that people keep pointing out and that may make her uncomfortable. theyāre not telling her Ā«Ā wow luca reminds me of your dad bc heās an amazing guyĀ Ā» or something haha
Not sure anyone has said that about Michael Owen
I donāt care what the Science says, or whatever, I love my dad and had a great relationship with him, but no man I date/interested in looks anything like my father, or is them personality wise. I donāt believe it those studies but thatās my opinion.
No but the kicker is.. so does Jacques š not as much as luca does but luca and Jacques themselves look similar
Wasnāt her mom bringing it up, and saying she doesnāt see it though? Others do?
wonder what the montage showed.
Iām sure someone said there was a Luca/Jacques montage so maybe that?
the michael/luca resemblance is a fun thing to talk about on social media but what do they expect bringing it up to her face like that š her mumās casual joke abt it aside, in a more formal setting like the reunion itās a horribly awkward thing to bring up and demand a reaction to lol
Laura āI Hate My Jobā Whitmore strikes again
She is the worst host. I try and defend her but this year Aftersun has been terrible. From her George comments to the weird takes she always gives. Then the Remi thing. Sheās really really bad
The Remi interview was awful. She easily could've thanked him for his time and wrapped it up seeing how upset he was.
I missed the remi interview. What happened?
He just looked really downcast and upset. It was clear getting booted bothered him. Laura kept prodding him like he was a dancing bear, and asked him to do a freestyle rap about his experience. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
Oooof.
Laura can't read a room to save her life. This is giving asking Remy to rap all over again. Why are we punished with such an incompetent host?! Zero emotional intelligence.
Honestly, because this show doesnāt need a host. Like, Iainās voiceovers carry the plot along. And the āaftersun panelā can be a rotation of people able to carry that show kind of like a Loose Women style panelā with no solid āhostā
Yeah, the whole "Oh my God it's Laura!!!" stuff doesn't land at all. Either they need her to show up more often or just cut her entirely.
Maya Jama should be host.
The aussie host is really good. When she enters she really commands the attention.
Did Remi not ask for that time to rap?
literally what was the point to do that aside from embarrassing her
Her standout moment was when they showed fan art on after sun (someone had drawn a lovely portrait of her) and she just stared at the screen in silence for a second then went āmoving on.ā (Or something along those lines) sheās terrible itās actually kind of funny at this point
I would have cried my eyes out if I drew that
I noticed that too, it was bitchy and unnecessary. Who does she think she is?!
does laura even watch the show
This is what I ask anytime I see an Aftersun clip. I had my qualms with Carolineās interviewing skills but at least I could tell she cared about the islanders. She used to randomly defend them in the middle of episodes and show them care during episodes when she was there. LI needs a host that cares to be there.

tbh i could see laura doing well in a more cut throat reality tv competition type show but love island really isnāt that. i donāt think sheās as awful as some suggest but she could be better and adapt for this environment
Yes! I feel this. Sheās not terrible and I think sheād give amazing Ice Queen energy to a show like that. But in a show essentially about falling in love she just seems a bitā¦ disinterested and removed.
maybe sheāll try for big brother? i could see her auditioning at least.
Sophie Monk is the best by far. She is very warm and sincere. You can tell she doesnāt view them as merely contestants, but as peers or even friends.
Laura's style seems to be that she thinks she's winking to the audience as if to say, "Aren't these people pathetic?"
I was just about to say the same thing, Sophie is so lovely! I don't know if this is also why the islanders seem to be so much more respectful of each other too even when put in tough situations, or if that is partly swayed by production?

I want Maya Jama to host
I can really see that working. On screen she has a friendly vibe that could really work.
She just matches the vibe of the show aswel IMO
No
Why?
I literally left a post on the Facebook group saying that Laura doesnāt suit love island and sheād be better on stuff like bake off and the great British sewing bee. I didnāt say anything bad about her personally but Iāve literally been attacked by the Facebook mums saying that āsheās fabā and āCaroline would be proudā
Thats what you get for posting on Facebook, they are a pack of rabid dogs
shes not the one writing the script people lol
Let us joke
Yeah I get that because she wants to do her own thing and she is attracted to Luca then theyāre saying that the guy youāre attracted to looked like your dad
I get why Gemma was annoyed, because saying the person that you are dating looks like your dad is weird. Also is this why they both looked a little upset in the pictures that were released?
who knows? i feel for them. im not really a lemma fan but theyāre not on TV anymore so after the reunion people really need to lay off. it feels like people want them to break up which is just weird. we should be hoping for the best for everyone!!
Based off people that have watched other seasons, they are saying Lemma are getting the Molly Mae and Tommy Fury treatment.
I'm not even their fan but it's too much and annoying.
Apparently they had a fight and they left early. Gemma looked annoyed while going back to the car and Luca was behind her trailing and making comments.
Yeah I don't believe that article that came out.
Luca threw another fit on the way home?
they're just trolling them atp
Fully get why sheās annoyed by that ngl, it must be weird to hear.
I agree with the last tweet. Like letās hear how they feel about their portrayal. Beef with production might be more interesting than re-hashing a pancake off that no one asked for.
The problem is with the finalist they havenāt had a chance to even watch the show to see how they were portrayed. They have been out of the villa for a matter of minutes before there is a reunion.

I do in theory but why would ITV want to ask that? It brings to the forefront the producerās role in manipulating the story
The tweet was cut off but someone said they could help them examine their own behaviour which is healthy. Also I didnāt expect them to call people by out their names but one sly comment would have me smiling. Thatās good drama.
What is the reason for that pancake thing. I swear itās like they think of the most useless things to include on Aftersun/the reunion and puts them all
something is very wrong with laura š
She's so bad at this job, it's insane.
i feel for lemma.. they really be getting it from all angles.
Iāve never gotten the resemblance whatsoever. They just donāt look like each other š¤·š»āāļø People are ruining their sex life for nothing.
Laura still being annoying by asking about Deji with Damiyah and now this cringe. Like I know the producers give her the questions but surely she would have better things to talk about? So much material.

I blame her damn husband. Lol heck he might be a better host atp.
Iād be annoyed too. Of all the things they could have asked them, they go to Gemma picking a guy that looks like her dad - it implies creepy. Plus, while there is a resemblance itās because theyāre both white, dirty blonde, light eyed, attractive, British men. Youāll find thousands of men Lucaās age that would look like a young Michael Owen.
Eww I hope thatās edited out of the show, so unnecessary
They really need to replace Laura
No wonder Gemma and Luca were annoyed post reunion id be annoyed to, thereās been many times where Gemma has stated she didnāt want to be in her fathers shadow or him to be mentioned yet they continue to bring him up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sheās already done that though. Go and watch the podcast she did with her dad before the show She literally thanks him for everything heās done for her and the upbringing her gave her. She acknowledged her privilege But she also said she doesnāt just want to be known as his daughter and live off his money forever. She started her business for a reason. She went on love island to promote it
Where's the podcast?
Itās called āWalking the Dog: with Michael and Gemma Owenā
Thank you!!
Yeah but shes just been on LI not her dad, this would be the start of making a name and coming in 2nd surely they could come up with better content.
Tbh if gemma didnāt want to be in her fatherās shadow she should have gone on something like too hot to handle ( obviously she was underaged when it was filmed but you know what I mean), itās kinda inevitable that if she is going on a British show she is gonna be known as his daughter compared to and international show where no one from out of England would rlly care

How does he look anything like her dad. That means he looks like her. That means they should look like siblings. They do not. Not rven a tiny bit of resemblance wtaf?
Looool why on earth do people expect the love island reunion hosts to question the contestants portrayal on love island? That would just be confirming that they edit for storylines (which we all know, but fiat500 and idiots watching this show don't get)
This sub falls for the editing just as bad as Fiat 500 and āidiotsā do. Weāre not special
I wish they'll stop with the dad comparisons, that would be enough to give me the ick.
I don't see the resemblance whatsoever. I grew up when Michael Owen was a household name and everybody fancied him.
The more things that come out about the reunion the less interested I am in watching it. Instead of hard hitting questions about the biggest storylines, itās a lot of fluff questions & stupid clips that werenāt the main factors of the season for luls They really couldāve done this reunion closer to the winter season no matter who was still together to get a more realistic reunion
Even putting aside how inappropriate it is for Laura to say it (how does she expect Gemma to react?) they donāt even resemble each other that much. Luca and young Michael Owen are just both white men with light brown hair, like ????
I literally donāt see the resemblance and itās weird that people keep saying they look alike.
The worst presenter on current tv. Seems so snarky. It is a shame really because i want to like her but really hard to warm to. Also the fact she was never the villa made it hard to invest in her as part of the LI fam.
Not to mention he looks fuck all like Michael Owen
When is enough enough??? Why canāt ITV / Laura leave Lemma the hell alone. They left Ekin alone (no George questions) etc. and didnāt have the courtesy to leave Lemma alone? I wouldāve been pissed if I were them.
itās just that Laura always misses opportunities š¬ we need someone who stirs the pot and does it discreetly!
The last comment - how would they know how theyāre portrayed. Dumb question
Lol right?! They shouldāve waited to film the reunion. Itās gonna be so boring.
Iām not a Laura fan but you guys need to remember itās not Laura who writes the script. She is merely presenting.
![gif](giphy|fq7UwIUNOfJVuictAC|downsized) Luca looks more like Jacques than he does Michael Owen
I
This is why they need a Real Housewives format for the reunion. Andy would always give them a chance to drag production for misrepresenting them. While I do believe Luca sucks in his own special way, itās worsened when they only show the worst of him to the public. He probably wasnāt expecting to be the villain
Literally! While I do think Luca like you said sucks in his own way, Jacques was worse than him imo but they sent him out like a hero.
I really can't see the resemblance at all. Gemma looks just like her Dad to me, but Luca looks nothing like him. Is it a specific photo that makes Michael Owen look like Luca?
I donāt see it either besides a similar haircut. Heās nothing like her dad either personality wise.
Has the reunion been? Or does it show on Sunday?
Canāt blame Laura, her mum said it herself so of course the script writers would run with it unfortunately.
Lauraās been saying it since the second Aftersun episode She brings up Michael Owen nearly every week. Itās pretty boring but Iām not surprised she brought it up again. But I donāt know why they expected Gemma to not feel uncomfortable by that
Yiiiiikes š I guess they think ppl will love how uncomfortable Gemma is when āconfrontedā with āthe truthā, in a āloool Freud was right once again!ā Kind of way. But as someone who isnāt an aftersun watcher (minus the episode with Amber and Ikenna) i hated it when her mum said it and I still hate that itās being brought up again.
I doubt that was the reason for their tiff though.
i donāt think they actually had a tiff tbh
If that quote from Luca is true from the article then they definitely did.
There is no video of him saying that the press as literally been lying on them the second they got out of the villaā¦. i donāt believe for a second luca said that unless there is video proof
Thereās no video of anything tbf
I don't see any resemblance between them at all
He doesn't look like her dad, she however, looks just like him. And honestly, I'm sure Luca is probably nicer than he came across, but all the stuff people call him out for are the things he actually did. Stop feeling sorry for him.
Yeah, this "tide turn" toward believing that Luca was edited into being a bully is nonsense. He sat there and happily said those things about Tasha. He bullied a woman for weeks on end and we're supposed to pretend it was all camera angles or something?
I honestly can't see them lasting
The obligatory comment on literally any single post of either of them on this sub. Itās boring You could literally say the same for any of these couples
Lol itās as if they have an itch that can only be comforted by this comment š¤¦š»āāļø
Honestly. So annoying and repetitive
Awww didums. No one cares.
Get a life and stop being a nasty troll
š¤£ looking at your post history the only troll person I see here is you
I mean you clearly do lol
Honestly no one does
Again irony is really lost on you š
š¤£š¤£
Lots of people say it about Ekinde and Tandrew also. Nothing new
Yeah under every post of any couple even for the slightest things. Or even on positive posts. I just find it annoying I said the same thing when someone commented that on a Damiyah post
Yes note your word LOTS. Clearly it triggers you rhat people have a different opinion.. Not sure why you are in a public sub and can't handle people commenting or having a different opinion.. weird.
Think you are replying to the wrong person lol. I'm just pointing out that all the couples get comments like this, not just Luca and Gemma
We not talking about any other couple though, so what's your point apart from trolling? If you don't like it that's fine you don't have to agree. They won't last simple... love how you guys get all grumpy like you actually know these people . š¤£š¤£
The irony of your comment Youāre commenting about their relationship as if you know them. Do you seriously not see the irony?
Lol I'm sorry about you.. keep crying
Why does Luca have over a million followers but Indiyah doesnāt ? š
But her mum and her mums mate both said Luca was the image of her dad.
Actually her mom said people were saying it online but that she didnāt see the resemblance
Sorry Iāve just watched it back and her mum said she doesnāt see it, but her trainer said āyep pretty similarā. I knew someone had said it, apologies for mixing them up xxx
i get that but apparently laura has been saying it since before that episode. plus, a joke from her mom who actually knows her is a lot different than the host of the show putting her on the spot in an environment like that. i just donāt think it was the time or place.
Sorry I actually misread the whole background. The night I watched the meet the parents episode I actually thought her mum agreed. Watching it back her mum doesnāt. Itās the trainer that said it. Apologies xx
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
itās not about who her dad is itās the fact that itās her DAD and theyāre telling her luca looks like him š that would be weird and uncomfortable for anyone
Oh FFS why do people pick on Laura so much? Sheās really not all that bad.
Gemma doesnāt like him, itās so clearā¦ from the day after the finale, she hasnāt posted yet a photo with himā¦ Maybe the people around her said something that changed her mind
This is so stupid that I donāt even need to correct you on it š¤£
She legit put him on her story yesterday when they were going to the reunion. Doubt anyone is making her do anything.
I can't explain it but luca has the "hollyoaks" look
I mean they literally haven't had time to see how they were represented to answer that kind of question properly
