I agree with you, I couldn't stand her when she came in as the bully but as you say she's being developed nicely i really like her character now, there does seem to be a certain vulnerability to her character and I think Brittany portrays that quite well when it has been touched on you really get a sense that she's maybe a little lost and vulnerable, quite clearly something has happened to her in the past which Im looking forward to the writers exploring.

I see a lot of articles like that where people are quoted as wanting to be on the show for a long time with no plans to leave then they announce there leaving, I think she show misses a Chris like character at the minute someone that can provide a little light relief every now and then, he was a very underused character imo possibly only really brought in to help develop more of the back story for Spencer, It's a shame because I kinder liked him when he first came in and his relationship with Indi, he seemed to arrive in the show as a completely different character to who they turned him into I seem to remember his early scenes being in the gym and walking around with his shirt off and it were like the writers completly changed their mind and made him into a bit of a laughing stock of the bay.

We've just seen her in the uk, I think she has potential for the future but I agree with the bit about kidnapping Buddy.

I think it was a shame for Cassie that most of the story lines were pointless for the character I saw potential for the character the relationship with Andy got a little bit boring for me. The injuries for the bus crash had real potential I'd of loved for the character to have been confined to a wheel chair in the same way we saw Julie Gibson in the early years I really felt we could of gone on a journey with the character in coming to turns with this realising she will never walk ect and coming to turns with life in a chair but then we blinked and over night as if by magic she could walk again that kinda killed the last part of any decent story lines for me then it was back to the same old.

I like tori but got to agree about the storylines dragging out I do think her and ash would be good together just wish they would take her in a different direction and some different stories.

This character totally grates on me I really can't stand him, the way he swans around the bay falling out with every body I was really hoping he would come into the bay and get along with people maybe that's all to come in time and he may mellow over time but the overprotectiveness reaches new levels I would guess that something's happened in the past that has made him that way which is why he always goes over the top with it.

Raffy is amazing a real breath of fresh air for the show away from all the drama and drugs that's going on, Olivia plays the role fantastically well, I love her relationship with Justin hopefully she'll be a character that stays in the show for a long time to come will be interesting to see where they take the character.

It could actually fit in well if they did do that especially for Olivia they could take her down the road of self harming to cope with her mum suddenly being alive and being confused about it.

Just watched the first 2 episode's with the family must say I kinda like them, Ziggy has the Ricky (Sharpe) look about her, looking forward to seeing what they bring to the show it will be nice to have a proper family mum dad and kids on the show for the first time in forever, I kind of think the dad is based on Brad Willis from Neighbours for some reason, looking forward to seeing what the family offer hopefully they get some good story lines.

I've just purchased the ebook not started reading it yet but It's available on amazon for £0.99

Such a great character with bags of potential I must admit watching the early years back she's certainly attractive, It's a shame we've not seen more of her in the years since she left especially with Irene still being a prominent character in the bay, I have to agree with the previous posts very under used in her time on the show I seem to remember her relationship with Hayden when he was scamming Pippa and Michael due to his gambling addiction other than that I barely remember story lines for her, other than the scuba diving accident with Blake from about 92/93 I believe.

It was a shame he never made a return for Gina's funeral.

It was a shame that Tank left when he did I would of liked to see him stay longer and for us to see more of the hostility he was facing from the locals I don't think we saw enough, It was nice to see him start to come good but again we never saw it long enough before he left, his relationship with Skye was great another character that left too soon IMO, I was hoping that with his Dad in the bay they were there for longer with his Dad taking on more of a Don Fisher roll.

Really not fussed with her at the minute seems a little bit boring and pointless, she's clearly got a bit of a bad back story that were going to find out, with the people she hung around with and the way she seems to do what she want's, borrowing people's things.

Love Raffy so far, would love to see her strike up a friendship with Elly I think they could be good for each other, hopefully she sticks around for the long term, she seems a great actress and a character that could have potentail.

It's a shame he never got a longer stint when he was the only Braxton remaining I really did see him fitting into the community for the long term especially after all the Braxtons and everyone connected to them left and taking on a different role within the community, It would of been good to see him take Angelo's and transform it himself as Brody did into something that reflected him I always saw Kyle as misunderstood in a lot of cases sort of like he always tried to be something he wasn't to fit in or to help someone.

Sadly I have to agree I think we've seen the last of Pippa and Don Fisher for that matter too which is a shame I think the bay needs more figures like those two but the show seems to have moved onto a lot of a younger generation of characters now.

I agree I think she works well as Olivia and I think she has a great connection with Irene on screen I must admit when I found out she was returning I wasn't that fussed but I must admit I didn't know a great deal about her so maybe that's why I think she works well, I hope we get to dig further into her background and the whole sexual abuse story, i think she'd play the scenes quite well.

Yeah I have to agree it was a shame that it turned out it was Jesse that killed her in the car accident I used to love him and as you say it was a good time on the show imo.

Yeah i loved the character of Grant I seem to remember him being very supportive of Sophie after David died in a car crash, I was pretty guttered when he left and yeah I would of loved for him to stick around longer than what he did, Im surprised he's a character that has slipped under the radar a little bit and is someone who isn't as well remembered, I think he fit in quite well with the cast that was already there when he arrived, I'd certainly not complain if he was to return now. It is quite surprising that he's just remembered mainly for Neighbours when he only had 1 extra year compared to his time on H&A, i guess the Ramsay family at that time were all quite well remembered and the character of Henry had some great scenes I can only think of that as the reason he's remembered more for that role than for Grant as he didn't have any real massive story lines (that I remember) during his time the only 2 that spring to mind are him helping Sophie after David's death and his relationship with the cop that Im sure if I remember rightly he helped someone get away with a minor crime and she not being happy about it.

I actually like her these days I used to actually loath her but she's definitely grown on me I liked her relationship with Dom and I'm quite surprised that once the Morgans moved to town nothings been mentioned about him I'd love to see him back and back with her It would be interesting to see the 2 of them living together with his daughter, I'm also hoping they continue with her music story's and not just have them mentioned by other characters that shes playing some where.

I thought the same when John went to see Marilyn when she was out the country too when he asked Irene if Skye could stay id of loved Irene to say sorry where full but I know someone who can help and for Pippa to come back for a couple of week guest stint.

I had the same thought tbh there's got to be a reason he said it it can't just be a coincidence because she's like his mum.

Disapointed is an understatment really liked Skye felt she had plenty more to give was looking forward to when Marilyn returned what a poor exit.

Agree with your comments after the cancer we really saw a mature side to her character and her playing house with Matt she was finally appearing anything other than a diva and now she finally gets a good story she's whisked away from the bay its as if they don't want to cover a disability story as they always leave or miraculously recover immediately.
