I loved Irene's first day at the Stewart store. Was very funny and I'm getting more and more annoyed with Shane. Could we please stop talking about Sophie/David?? Its getting old.

Glad Nick stuck to his guns and threw Shane out. Its all about teaching him a lesson. I hope Shane would come to his senses eventually... And I also wish we had closure with Sophie and Karen, its a bit suss that Sophie left right before Karen's arrival....

Irene is staying full time, very happy but FIn doesn't look happy. A bit confused about that :/ I love her friendship with Sally. They formed a strong bond since day one and love her calling her "toots!" Greg is so annoying me at the moment. Not a great example he's setting for Sam at the moment.

How do you ignore a certain member's posts?

LOL I actually half expected the laundry to go up in flames. Really looking forward in seeing Irene's character develop.

So Shane's become a dole blugder no-hoper. Hope his attitude will change, because he's starting to annoy me. And Greg is a hypocrite.

I'm loving this season so far and my favourite character is Irene (as she always will be right up until now) and I love how she's helping out while Pippa is away. She's fitted in with that household. Now she just to interact with more of the characters. Can't wait til Sophie leaves!!! And Alf's never changed over the years, he's gotten even more grumpier now these days.

Irene's back as Lynn McGranger. She's the third (after Alf and Sally) original cast member isn't she? Loved her entrance.

Brand new season. I've noticed Blake and Sophie have both been taken off the credits. A good start to the season, even though I don't necessarily agree with Sophie giving up her child...

Looking forward to this season! And there was a musical episode?? Don't remember this one, then again I was only Sally's age in 1993!

This drama with Sophie is going around in circles! Its driving me crazy. Who else?

Tug was doing fine at the Diner when Shane went and provoked him. And Greg needs to lay off, its Bobby' diner, not his. And SIGH. More Sophie drama. She must realize she's not the only single mother doing it tough.

I can understand why Bobby has a soft spot for Tug. And I'm glad Blake and Alf finally have made up.

And yet more Sophie drama. Its getting very old very fast. And I wish Alf and Blake would bury the hatchet and is Roxanne another Lou 2.0? I HATE Ailsa's hairdo.

Oh that paint scene was hilarious! I almost spat out the coffee I was drinking at the time when Shane threw the paint all over him.

I know and Kelly was so pointless! I didn't like her at all and she just caused unnecessary conflict between Damian and Shane.

Sophie is just driving me up the wall! I get that its not easy for being a teenaged mum, but would she quit the whinging and snapping at Pippa all the time? Poor Pippa can't do anything right by her at the moment. The only person Sophie really listens to is Michael. And what is Les up to, turning Adam and Blake against each other? And Poor Don, he's obviously stressed and over worked and its taking its toll on him.

I totally forgot Lou worked at the school, lol.

Well, Sophie deserved that serve from Sally then Sophie lays it into Finn because she was jealous. Sophie, stop feeling sorry for yourself! She's driving me nuts now.

I'm a bit conflicted with the Sophie drama. Why did Pippa agree to get a job even though she promised Sophie she'd look after Tammy? And how is she going to do the job properly before her own baby arrives and look after Tammy at the same time? Pippa's not SuperMum. And at first I thought Sophie was talking Pippa for granted, but I can see where she is coming from. Then Sophie does something stupid and write a letter of resignation and blame it on poor Sally but Sally should have recognized Sophie's handwriting and ask Sophie if she wanted the letter to be posted should she not? This whole Sophie storyline is just as frustrating as the Nick/Lou storyline and I'm glad Lou is gone thank God. And I thought Bobby and Adam were good friends? Or once was. Why doesn't she want to live with him? This is other storyline that's doing my head in at the moment. Greg's obsessed with making money. There's more to life than money.

Simon's exit was pointless compared to Marilyn's. And I'm glad she got the send off she deserved. At first, I really upset that she didn't get a proper goodbye with Adam considering their friendship, but that was sorted when they threw her a decent farewell.

I hate Ryan. And Lucinda. That is all.

I don't find Phil and Marilyn believable at all. I can understand where Toni is coming from.

Is it just me or is the actress that plays Toni simply awful?

I think Don secretly approved which is why he let Simon off with a warning. Don might be a hard taskmaster but he really does care about his students.
