Rachel Armstrong - Amy Mathews

[Danni02]

I'm becoming a huge rachel fan lately. I hope her contract is extended too.

Me too, Rachel has to be my favourite character! I hope she is on the show for a long time.

same here

I see Jon is also there till 2010...maybe one couple can walk off into the sunset living happly ever after and not have one killed off because someone was leaving!!!

anywho at the moment Tony is her only consern...and really she was justified with what Xavior did and if we believe the latest spoiler its going to get alot worse before it gets better

The writers should write leah in more to help rachel, and why havent we had them write in a scean where martha tries to get through to him (that might work)...its so annoying

Yes! I hope they stay longer that 2010 to be honest, but thats just because i like the characters! Im really looking forward to the wedding and the baby because it will be the 'good times' that Rachel and Tony need right now.

It is going to get worse before it gets better. But maybe in a way its a good thing as Tony will be able to grieve and get everything out of his system so to speak to allow the good times to start happening. If that makes sense, which im not sure it does....

I think Rachel did no wrong in dealing with Xavier. He is a stupid boy that needs to be put in his place. He needs to have more respect for Tony after he just lost Jack. It was nice enough for Tony to let them stay so soon after loosing Jack and he totally just took advantage of the situation, in my opinion.

I agree. I think that Leah and Rachel need a scene together. I mean they are supposed to be best friends yet we havent see Leah with Rachel since Jack died! (at least i dont think we have?)

I think there probably will be a Martha and Tony scene pretty soon. Seems like she is one of the few people he will speak to Jack about.

I am hoping that whoever decided to completely straighten Rachel's hair for Friday's ep never does so again. I really did not like it because the way it was tied up made her face look a lot bigger and Kirsty Ekua also said to me that she thought it aged her.

What does everyone else think??

I don't think it made her look old hehe but it definetely looks better curly, it's more natural and she's the only one with curly hair so why do they straighten it?

I thought the bump was very cute and Rachel's in a really difficult position at the moment; trying to be sensitive of Tony' feelings but also trying to help pull him out of his grief by giving him positive things to focus on like helping the footie team out and the baby. It must be awful for her when he keeps going missing and turning his phone off. Last time he did that Bridget followed him home

Ooh no more Bridget's please , it took long enough to get rid of her the last time we don't need random skanks getting in the way

Omg she had her hair straightened?? I always wondered what this would look like. I cant wait til that airs in Ireland. I think we are only 11 episodes behind now.

[TachelHolden]

Yeah it was straight but tied back with a few curls as her ponytail i liked it and thought it made her look different in a good way.

[halcyon06]

I just saw it on youtube. I didnt really like it to be honest, I would have liked to see what it was like down. But I love her curly hair, I hope they dont make this a habbit!

[steff99]

i dont really like her hair straight either! i prefer it down and curly!!

I adored her scenes with Leah today. I love thier friendship and i'm glad the writers remembered they have memories together from outside of Summer Bay. I loved the 'welcome to 30 love!' That sounded werid coming from Rachel. And the little talk about Dan and how amazing Leah was was really sweet.

As for her attitude to Tony - i think she's just at a loss for what to do. Maybe she feels getting him to do stuff is the best way, after all it's how she coped when she lost her mother...i guess it's hard for her when it's someone she loves as opposed to a patient of her's going through this awful ordeal. She can't exactly sit back and watch him become more and more distant. I think her 'happy, chirpy' act is just a cover and sooner or later we're going to see how she is really coping, or not coping.

Rachel is a trained doctor and psychiatrist. Surely then she should have some idea of the grief that Tony is going through. Rachel should refer Tony for counseling. Rachel has referred Belle to counseling so why not Tony? Tony needs it more then Belle does.
