Sally Keating

Marilyn was very good friends with Bobby and therefore he lived with Marilyn and Bobby in the beach house so I'd say he'd be closer to Marilyn than Alf. Of course, these are the same production team who neglected to give Marilyn and Irene ANY scenes together for almost a year when Marilyn returned because "sometimes stories don't overlap" (worst excuse ever). So if he did return, I wouldn't actually be surprised if they made out he was super close to Alf (he wasn't) and didn't say two words to Marilyn haha.

Do you have any info on the exact location of the hole in the rocks/cliff that Dodge fell through in episode 340 in 1989 and also Stephanie in 1997 leading to her death?

That's not what happened at all. The original actress came back long before Ailsa was killed off. The "recast" was only a temporary replacement for a few weeks as the original actress was ill and Ailsa was in the middle of a major story which couldn't be rewritten. Nothing weird at all. There's no way Morag will be recast. To even suggest it is silly.

I actually noticed the change from the second to third one instantly. the second one was very clean and maintained and looked brand new. the third one, although a similar style, was really dirty and grotty. As for the location of Sally's farewell - it doesn't even need to be a school does it? It was just a hall with a stage, it really could have been anywhere. A church hall, a community centre, a conference hall somewhere, it could even have been inside Seven somewhere.

I just take "the powers that be" to mean "whoever is in charge of whatever I'm currently talking about" so those it doesn't apply to, are automatically excluded. Eg: " TPTB are idiots for bringing Martha back" : "the people who thought of it/greenlighted it are idiots, those not involved in the decision are not." And same for any other usage. What I mean is, rather than it encompassing everyone, it's just a quick way of referring to whoever is responsible for the matter at hand, whether it's a writing thing, a production thing, a network level thing... without having to go to the bother of finding out and naming names. If I said "I hate how TPTB have remixed the theme song", I obviously wouldn't be encompassing the writers in that because it's nothing to do with them. And likewise if I said "I hate TPTB have made Marilyn wear boring clothes", I obviously wouldn't be encompassing network executives in that because it's hardly something they would care about. I'd like to think people have the common sense to realise that rather than assume they're being ignorant and encompassing everyone/anyone.

She also lied that Finlay had "abused" her (whatever that means) in her office. She then blatantly told Finlay to her face that she would continue to make up as many lies as it took to keep her out of the school. Evil woman!

I had a listen but got no idea. It would help if I could make out any of the lyrics but there's constant dialogue over it

Floss was a really nice lady.
