I know, I thought she was really cute with Matt, I love seeing him in big brother mode Sorry, I was probably unclear in my phrasing. I was more talking of a resolution of her story along with Matt's, given that Alec's departure seems to mean hers too.

Just on the mention of Ellie's whereabouts

I agree with you guys- that he's a different guy, in a totally different place, than he was back when he was drinking to escape his problems- I just couldn't remember if the show had ever adressed that! I kind of wish they had; it could have been an interesting little mini-story for Matt, trying to establish with himself when he'd been past his problems long enough to trust himself and figure out that he'd be ok, he had different coping mechanisms now, that he could casually drink without ending up in rehab or turning into his dad (because that used to be such a worry for him) etc... Ah well!

Just re-watching some recent Matt and Evie scenes... and something randomly occurred to me- when did Matt start drinking again? In the period after he admitted to Leah and Nate that he needed help and went to the retreat, the aftermath was fairly ok- there were mentions of his drug and alcohol counsellor, I remember at least Leah and Josh mentioning his sobriety (maybe others but I don't remember anymore than that!), and for a while after that whenever other characters in scenes with him were drinking, he wasn't. But nowadays he's seen drinking with Ash and Justin and stuff? I know they haven't forgot his past problems, because when Matt was helping Evie out with the safe zone for the Schoolies, he told her when he was drinking he could have used a refuge like it. But was there ever a mention of when Matt actually did start drinking again?(Not to excess like before, I know.) I can't remember it, it just seemed to randomly start happening again!

but I am wondering how committed to the show Bonnie is. I don't know how committed Bonnie is,but we definitely know .

please,please write more!!you write it so well!when i stumbled upon this i just had to read it all the way through,and i would HATE it to end now!
