claire_louise Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 When Kirsty said Rhys and Shelley would take Oliver off her, that was when she was planning to take him on the run again.Now that they're in the clear and Kane's out of the picture I think they'd be a lot more happy to see her.And even if they weren't, I'm sure Dani and Jade would.Having turned her back on her family three years ago, surely she at least owes them the choice of whether or not they still want her in their lives? I think she probably feels too ashamed to face them. After all, when she chose to run away with Kane she effectively cut them out of her life and the life of their only grandchild. That's a bit of a slap in the face to say the least, especially when you consider how much she'd already put them through. But I do still think they'd get in touch. Obviously Tammin Sursok isn't likely to return anytime soon, but maybe we'll see a cameo from Paula or Michael if Christie decides to stick around? Or at the very least they could get Christie to do a turn as Laura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 As much as I like Kirsty the problem is that she doesn’t really contemplate the implications of her actions. She has always been like this. Of course when they left in 2005 they felt they had no choice, as Kane was innocent. As you’ve said now that he is out of the picture, she should try to put herself in her parent’s/sister’s shoes. Your daughter/sister absconds with a known felon for 3 years without so much of a phone call to let you know that she is alive and well. Furthermore you miss out on 3 years with your first grandchild/nephew. Could she manage without Oliver for three years? If she’s really too ashamed to contact her parents then you would have thought that she would get in touch with Dani or Jade first to test the water. They could probably speak to Rhys and Shelly just to warn them so the are no surprises. She doesn’t just owe it to her family, she owes it to her son as well!

claire_louise Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yes, you're right, and in all probability I'm sure she would contact them or vice versa, if there was a chance that any of the actors might return. Seeing as there isn't, the writers probably don't see the point in bringing the issue up. I think they're wrong though - it wouldn't be hard to have a scene where Kirsty speaks to Rhys and Shelley on the phone, or to have her go and visit them in the city. It does annoy me when soap writers do things like this as it basically implies that they think the viewers are too stupid to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there should be some mention of them like you said as it means the writers think we are dumb and cant think that far back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I agree as well.We don't need to see Kirsty's family, just some acknowledgement that she's at least let them know she's still alive.As it is, they're giving the impression they don't care about each other which doesn't tie in with what we've seen of them.

H&Alover Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 On the subject of Kirstie how come she gets offered and takes the secretary's job at the school when she says herself she has no experience It may be just me or does anybody else think Martin interest a bit too keen? He hasn't seen her for years and yet he is acting like he is her best buddy. It seems a bit creepy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oipoodle Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Aww Mattie and Rics break up was so sad! I love those two together.

claire_louise Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yep, seems like Mr Bartlett has a thing for Kirsty. Which is kind of creepy considering he used to teach her. Loved today's ep, Indiana and Mark did a great job as usual. It was nice to see a realistic storyline for once, and one that was portrayed so well. In a way I'd quite like them to leave it there as it's a situation that happens to lots of young people and often there isn't a happy ending. But Matilda and Ric have been through so much and I've always loved them together, so I'm still hoping it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Completely and utterly agreed with, I found those scenes heartbreaking.From the moment he came into the bedroom onwards I was nearly in tears at any scene featuring one or both of them.Still praying for a happy ending cos I'd hate to see these two separated permanently.
