Was it a mistake to kill Bobby off in 1993?

Yeah, as a ghost..

Bobby was a brilliant character, i remember crying my eyes out when her life support machine was turned off. I think it was a big mistake to kill her off, maybe one day she could have returned especially now that her dad is back in the bay.

They shouldn't have killed her off, it was so sad. Bobby could have moved away with Greg to start a new life somewhere else. Poor Don, they killed off three of his children, more than anyone can take.

I think it was a shame to kill Bobby off(even though i was two when she died), but it obvsiosly had a lasting effect on viewers because even my mum who didn't watch h&a that much always tells me about Bobby and her death.

Haha Matt Stevenson who played Adam, now works in a bottle shop at the same pub as my dad works at.

I think Killing the character off was the right move. It just wouldn't have made sense for her to leave. She had only recently married, and settled down with Sam and Greg.

I think from a writing point of view, it was absolutely the right decision. It created some incredibly powerful episodes (that I still remember, even thouigh I was only 6 at the time), and it allowed Sam to stay on the show... and I really liked Sam as a character

But seriously... the big issue when people leave is always their motivation. If the character has no motivation to leave, well then death is the next best option.

It's been my opinion after watching a large number of episodes around the time that I think that the show made the wrong decision in killing Bobby off. As we all know it should have been the utterly pointless Luke. Joking aside, I think that if even if Nicolle was wanting to leave the show at the point there was so much more to be gained through keeping her character alive, rather than killing her off.

Yes Bobby should have servived they shouldve done what they did with Pippa only less crappy of an exit anyone agree?

Really i was one lolz

[homeandawaylova]

Yes! I loved Bobby

If it helps, I dreamed that she's coming back this year and her death was just one of those soapy misunderstandings...

I think killing off Bobby made sense at the time(although it was a bit odd that Greg drove off into the sunset about a month later, leaving Sam behind)but in retrospect, after half a dozen reunion episodes, it's a shame they aren't able to bring her back occasionally.
