I really, really hate the Parkers. They were so annoying last night, especially Miranda telling Toadie off. He's putting his career on the line by lying for them and Miranda's all pissy at him for letting Steve do it. It's not his fault honey. Does she just expect that Bridgette should remained unpunished for what she did? I'm sorry, but I know that Chris tried to attack her, but leaving him there to die, well she does deserve to be punished. She could have called the cops when she got home or told someone. They all should just leave.

Can you blame her for not wanting to talk about it right away? And you seriously think she should be jailed for trying to fight off a potential rapist and accidentally killing him in the prcess?

That said, I'm sick of Steve too, and Bridget and Miranda aren't much better, as actors or characters. I don't want Toadie to lose his career over this.

I'm not sure that Taylah's statement is going to prove that Chris had form - even if she felt pressured to some extent it doesn't prove that he would have physically forced her to take it further.

^^ Maybe I'm just blinded by all the hate I have for her. But I don't think she should get off scot free like she did. Yeah they guy attacked her, but he didn't deserve to die. Brigette gets off, but Steve still gets punished, I hate them both but I don't think it's fair for just Steve to be charged. She lied as well.

I really don't get how Taylah's statement would make that much of a difference. It doesn't seem fair to make those allegations against a dead man who can't defend the claims. How do they Police know that she's telling the truth? For all they know, she could have made it up to help get her friend off. It seems silly how they just dismissed the case they way they did.

They're all idiots.

I'm far more interested in the Napiers and Sam. Tonight was a pleasant, if naughty development. Poor Ty, not knowing how to handle Sam . Good thing Oliver's more experienced. Do they still name episodes? If they do, this one should have been called "Oliver: My Life As A High Class Whore." I so want to see him wake up alone in the hotel room to find cash on the nightstand, hehe.

I hate Libby. Actually, I think I hate most of the characters on that show, except for Elle, Oliver (only when he's with Elle), Rebecca, Declan, The Kennedy's/Kinski's and Toadie. As for the rest of them, well... I won't go any further than to say I severely dislike them.

Libby keeps going on about how she's not going to get in the middle of Sam and Dan, but she does. Poor Sam, I love her and it's heart breaking watching her demise. Meanwhile perfect Libby is always there for Dan. Gag me. I really hope they don't pair Libby/Dan up... Please don't. She deserves to be alone. Besides, would Dan live up to her precious Drew? I think not.

Exactly. Part of the reason I hated Libby and Darren's permanent breakup was because it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't treated him as inherently inferior to Drew from the beginning. She would have let him adopt Ben, he wouldn't have cheated on her, they would have stayed in Shepparton. (Also Janae probably wouldn't have left). I don't think that she's even bothered to get over her Drew fixation now that, in her view, Darren's only proven her point (and she partly brought that on too, by refusing to move back to Shepparton. Then again, I also blame Steve and Miranda for not letting Janae in on the deal to buy No. 26, because she wouldn't have been in the garage at the same time as Darren. If my links are getting a bit tenuous, feel free to point it out. ).

Because of this, Libby and Dan wouldn't have a chance, and I don't want to see them try, especially when Simone's the best actor they've brought in this year. I'd rather see Libby gone, with or without Darren, and Sam as a regular.

[KaitieL]

Yes, please, get rid of Libby. Who thought it was a great idea to bring her back? And bring Janae back while their at it. Simone is brilliant, is she permanent?

And get rid of Erin McNaught. She is probably the worst actor I have ever seen. Ever. She has no depth, as a character and an actor. Or is it just my imagination?

[emmasi]

I don't think her acting is particularly bad, but the character is so pointless and horrendous that you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was.

I can't stand Carmella's cousin. She's pretty but what else has she got? At all? Does she even have a character, or did the "actress" just get lost on her way to a fashion shoot? She seems so lost and dazed and inherently useless. All she does is literally stand around looking pretty.

I wish Sam would stay, but I have a horrible feeling she won't . I also hate Libby... I used to like her (I remember liking her) but I liked Darren more, and she was a real b*tch to him, then blamed him for finding someone else who actually appreciated him for who he was. Why couldn't she leave and take that weird little hanger-on with her. I'd have kept Darren over those two any day.

[alexx]

I agree Sam should stay, she is definitely one of my favorites.

I think Steph has become really quite bitter since her and Todie split up, I cant pin point it, but she's a bit different imo.

Libby...she has changed too in some way or another but I don't dislike her.

[~Lynd~]

I'm with the Libby haters...I used to like her but now i wish she'd just go away andstop treating Sam like the scum of the earth.

I love that Callum kid,is he permanent?

[alexx]

SAM has to become permanent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do all the complex, interesting characters in Home and Away and Neighbours have to be guest cast?
