I see how Sally is respected, as she has been around from the start. I just never cared for her character. Even as Pippa's foster child I always prefered Justine, Tiegan, and Sam. Though she was underused then so I really didn't care. Now she's used a lot more, and I wouldn't mind if she did something a bit wild every now and then. She's not old enough to be portrayed like Shelley, Pippa, or Beth.

Back to Jade and the Sutherlands though. While Jade was always the nice, sweet girl who always saw the best in most situations. I really liked the anger she showed during the Nick/Angie saga after Nick was expelled. She was always so loyal to Nick, it's a shame they didn't get a happy ending. If Nick stayed during 2004 I think he could have helped Jade during everything she went through.

I think if Chris Egan had stuck around another year or so Jade would have got the happy ending she deserved. Damn Kirsty got that as well (sort of).

[Aquamarine]

If the writers felt they had to make Jade the swapped twin and kept Kirsty as the real Sutherland (Trust me, I wouldn't be complaining if they didn't), I think the storyline could have been done so much better. Paula, Kate, and Michael acted wonderfully...but it was more of a preparation for Jade's exit which is why I didn't like it. I liked Laura though.

[Danifan]

In theory it was a great storyline, but as they focused it all one the wrong twins feelings about the situation it just came across as far fetched and OTT. Also while it was wellacted it would have been more realistic if we'd seen them deal with the situation as a family (as far as i can remember it didn't seem to have any impact on Dani or Max as they never seemed to be around for any of the big scenes).

They should have kept Laura and swapped her for Kirsty, at least then you've got someone who looks like her but without the annoying qualities and you get to keep Jade as well. Win-win (well not for the ones who end up with Kirsty obviously).

[Aquamarine]

Perhaps they should have done what they did in Parent trap...Kirsty wanted to get away from her parents to be with Kane, and Laura wanted to get to know Jade, so they switched places, and never tell their parents...ever.

She supposedly left to live with Kit, correct? I wish Kit would mention her.

[Danifan]

I always found that bit even stranger as i don't remember Jade and Kit ever being that close and considering Kit's moved about 4 times and lived in the Bay for ages i always wondered what happened to Jade. I like to think she either moved back with Rhys and Shelly or went to America to find Nick.

So is she still married to that Assistant Director guy she met on Home and Away? They still in England. Haven't heard much about her since she left.

[Eli]

I think Kit and Jade were pretty close. It's not like we saw it all the times, but they have a few scenes showing that they were somewhat close. Kit was there for Jade a lot during the twinswap storyline. I think Kit and Dani were closer though, but I can't remember Kit and Kirsty ever having a scene together just the two of them.

[Danifan]

Watching the early years on FiveLife i can't help but feel sorry for Jade as while Dani was paired up with Will, and Kirsty got Nick, Jade got the boobie prize in devil brat Duncan. The sooner Nick/Jade become a couple the better.

[Anaya]

Well jade does get nick soon enough... whereas kirsty is paired with her sister's rapist Kane... and Dani gets dumped by Will for Gypsy and then paired with Josh... who turns evil and then worse still Scott Hunter... who is as lively as a plank of wood

I always liked this guy called Stafford (i think that was his name) for Dani to pair up with... that would have been a good coupling... not to mention a Hot one
