It was worth waiting for Poor Rachel and Tony - I hope little Harry is going to be okay. I loved how supportive Tony was being, it's nice to see it the other way round for once! I felt sorry for Nicole to but thought Hugo was cruel telling Xavier off for what he said, he didn't say it on purpose and he's allowed to be excited about his cousin. I loved Brendan thinking he was getting a brother as well Bless him.

Rachel doesn't love what she's doing though, that's the point. She feels frustrated that her position in the hospital is more paperwork than patient care and it isn't challenging in the right way for her. She obviously feels that it's too repetitive and there's no room to grow or challenge herself in the position she's in. She's been offered this amazing opportunity that means she can do more than just be a doctor, she can take part in research, help develop new drugs; something she'd never be able to do in Australia as easily due to the lack of money available. I think as a doctor that would be a hugely attractive proposition and it also means she'd be able to spend more time with her son which is important to her. There's not really a lot for Tony to drop though is there? Just his job which he can pick up again in America easily. But I do understand it's a big move for him and I don't blame him at all for being hesitant but I think it would have been nicer to see him be more open and willing to discuss it with her, rather than snapping at her and making her feel like she's a bad person for wanting to do it. I think his only other surviving son being in America is a huge thing for him to. She's not expecting him to drop everything and leave, she told him it's an incredibly complicated situation that she just wants him to consider but frustratingly, there's not been much of that. In the same way that Rachel could be seen as selfish for wanting this job so much, Tony could be seen as selfish for denying her this opportunity. So I don't think either of them are in the wrong here; it's just a really difficult situation and a good chance for them to re-evaluate their relationship and marriage and what's most important to them both. So I look forward to seeing how it's carried out

Brilliant update, I'm glad Nicole shouted at Roman like that, he deserved it. Update soon please

Wow they are just absolutely stunning! I can't pick even a few favourite because they are all just so beautiful and unique. If I was an Adelle fan I wouldn't hesitate to use any of thiese; in fact I'd wanna use every single one and change each day because they're so good You're really really talented well done, they're gorgeous! There's so much going on in each one but it's never too much, the image is still the focus of it. If I absolutely had to choose one I'd pick #19 as it is so classic and simplistic. Just a beautiful picture with gorgeous colouring and a silver border with a spark. Perfect. Look forward to your next update!

Beautiful update, can't wait to see more on Ruby's reaction! Update soon please

Fantastic chapter! I thought you worked Rachel's own experience into it really well and I'm pleased that Charlie's going to give Angelo another chance; as you say the good outweighs the bad. It's perfect

The flood control thing is still happening to me New posts aren't highlighted whereas topics I've already read are.

Aww I got excited then thinking you'd updated Look forward to it!

Fantastic update! I feel so sorry for Nicole and I hope Ruby wakes up soon. Interesting reaction from Charlie with Aden. Look forward to more

Wow!!! Wow!!!! Wow!!!! Those are absolutely incredible! Each one is so individual and creative; so busy with colour and text and graphics, the colouring is beautiful on each and every one! Fantastic!

It's all really strange, Tony has never ever displayed this sort of behaviour. I can understand him not liking Daniel that much and I suspect there's a bit of jealousy there in the way that he can talk to Rachel about things Tony doesn't understand and also is this rich, smooth talking doctor who Rachel's clearly impressed by. And I guess Sid's 'advice' didn't help much. But it's not in Tony's nature to be outright rude to someone like him in public when ultimately all he's done is offer his wife this incredible job. The most shocking part for me though was what he said to Rachel; claiming that her not laughing at Daniel's offer (which makes it sound like he's saying it;s ridiculous to consider Rachel would be able to do it - such a change from Friday's) means that she 'obviously' doesn't care about her marriage or son. I think it's a really hurtful thing to say and must have been so embarassing and humiliating for Rachel to hear in front of her friends. It just makes no sense. Rachel turned down the offer immediately and Tony told her she should think about; as if he was encouraging her to take it because it's an amazing offer. He also told her that they'd be lucky to have her and when she admitted to him that she was thinking about it he told her to enjoy the flattery and excitement of it. Yet now he's done a 180 and all of a sudden her considering the offer is a selfish thing to do? Bring HotDad back, I don't like the man they've turned him into just for the sake of this storyline. It's so contrived.

The writing of both of their characters has been pretty shocking this year and they might as well be called Bob and Sarah because the consistency of their character's as Rachel and Tony has been terrible. There's no flow from one episode to the next and it seems like the writers have just gone...oh yes we need to give them something to do this week hmm...let's have them fight (because that's original) despite them seemingly fixing their problems the episode before.

Alf - 10 April– 8 Indigo - 22 Irene - 10 Leah - 10 Marilyn - 13 Miles - 3 Nicole – 20 Romeo - 38 Sid - 9 Xavier - 8

Like Charlie and Ruby's relationship although very shocked at that ending; she can't kill the baby out of revenge for Angelo. That would be too cruel, despite me not liking Angelo because of what he done. She deserves better.

Alf - 8 April– 9 Bianca - 5 Colleen - 3 Constable Watson - 6 Indigo – 18 Irene - 7 Leah - 10 Marilyn - 13 Miles - 8 Mr Oddly - 3 Nicole – 13 Nurse Julie - 4 Romeo - 27 Sid - 7 Xavier - 10

Brilliant! Felt sorry for Leah though, being rejected like that

Sid has got to be the WORST doctor ever to grace the show in terms of his "giving people advice" role. All the doctors tend to be town counsellors as well; ie Flynn and Rachel but Sid's pretty bad at it. Tony asks him how Rachel is at work and expresses his worry at her losing passion for her job and Sid starts ranting on about marriage problems and how he needs to sort it out now (despite the fact that he's a serial cheater.) Don't think I'd be wanting to take advice from him!

Alf - 8 April– 9 Bianca - 5 Colleen - 4 Constable Avary - 2 Constable Watson -6 Dexter – 2 Indigo – 17 Irene - 7 Leah - 10 Marilyn - 12 Miles - 9 Mr Oddly - 5 Nicole – 12 Nurse Julie - 5] Nurse Veronica - 3 Romeo - 21 Sid - 5 Xavier - 9

Fantastic few updates - sorry I haven't commented until now. VJ is really sweet bless him although poor Ruby She must be so confused. Look forward to an update

This is the Tony & Rachel I've missed! They've both been discussing things maturely and calmly and even though Tony's made it clear that he's happy where he is and appears not to want to move (although I'm a bit confused, he seemed more for it at the beginning of the episode when he told her to sleep on it despite her saying no and then had a turn around when he saw Rachel and Daniel talking) he's still not denying her the chance to be excited about it. Finally a storyline that's not about boxing; although I did like the little bit of dialogue that proved Rachel's come to terms with it and realised he's got a passion and enjoys doing it. It's nice to focus a little more on Rachel's character and learn what she was like at University and how she's changed between her 20's - 30's. I think Daniel is a little pushy but I guess he knows a different Rachel and he doesn't want her to miss out on this amazing opportunity, considering how excited she is by it. Tony and Sid's conversation was a little strange; it went from Tony worrying because Rachel's lost her passion for her job to Sid advising he deal with their marriage problems straight away I'm glad Rachel's been considerate of how difficult it would be for Tony to and made it clear that she has a wonderful husband and loves him and Harry and it's unfair to uproot them just because she wants to. The last scene with them in Tuesday's episode Gushiness aside about the kiss and I love yous I just loved how open and honest they were with each other and how Tony encouraged that because he could see how much she was having doubts. I'm surprised that because Lucas is over there that Tony's not more willing but I understand it's a huge lifestyle change. And it was nice to see him being so supportive of her skills as a doctor considering she wasn't very confident herself and didn't think she'd be up for it. So Rachel's a surgeon now hey? I know we've seen her in the scrubs but I never thought she was specifically meant to be a surgeon seeing as she is ward manager for A&E as well. Overall I loved it and it reminded me why I love their relationship and the way it's mostly portrayed. Rachel's in a really difficult position here and I don't know how you'd begin to make a decision like that. Be interested to see how it develops

I think things have a got a little out of hand and misinterpreted; let's not argue over a silly little game. Alf - 6 April – 8 Bianca - 5 Colleen - 6 Constable Avary - 4 Constable Watson -6 Dexter – 4 Elijah - 1 Gina - 1 Harry - 4 Indigo – 10 Irene - 5 Leah - 7 Liam - 5 Marilyn - 7 Miles - 6 Mr Oddly - 6 Nicole – 10 Nurse Julie - 6 Nurse Vermonica - 5 Penn - 2 Rachel - 7 Romeo - 13 Sid - 5 Tony - 6 Xavier - 6

I didn't notice you'd posted Danni, I was going off the one above you, I'm not that sad that I'd try and cheat You can get her out now I'm going to bed. Alf - 6 April – 7 Bianca - 5 Colleen - 6 Constable Avary - 4 Constable Watson -6 Dexter – 4 Elijah - 1 Gina - 2 Harry - 5 Indigo – 9 Irene - 5 Leah - 7 Liam - 5 Marilyn - 7 Miles - 6 Mr Oddly - 5 Nicole – 9 Nurse Julie - 6 Nurse Vermonica - 5 Penn - 3 Rachel - 900 Romeo - 13 Sid - 5 Tony - 6 Xavier - 6

Sorry - no need for the eyerolling it was a genuine mistake Everyone is guilty of it, I usually just edit it. I'm making a lot of mistakes so I'll stop playing now...
