Do we see the New Macklin offices again? Seems a bit of a waste if they get used for just a months worth of storylines.

Those offices definitely look the part. Shame that Tom seems to be the only character working there at the moment.

I loved the scenes with the motivation guru: "I'm alive and I'm firing and I feel fantastic!"

Yeah, it was rewatching that batch of episodes that made me realise all had went quiet on that front. They certainly looked good.

I've loved the plot with Saly wanting to move out. It was so fresh and original, and is the best stuff I've seen so far with Dave Worthington as Story Editor. I just think it had so many layers, it showed how different a foster family is to a normal family and the complications that come with it. I also love how it explored how relationships between different family members can be so different and the effects it has on the family as a whole. Great stuff. Maybe I would have thought Sally was being a brat watching this back in the 80s but I think I have rose-tinted glasses on due to the affection I have developed for her since and knowing what a legend she has become.

Firstly the Lance, Martin, Marilyn comedy act is so funny to watch, they are so uncoordinated its awesome; love the dance routine Carly, its awful! haha This just highlights how badly and out of character they are writing Maz in current episodes; they could be writing the baby storyline with so much energy and lots of comical twists and turns in amongst the more serious and emotional side to the way Nicole feels... frustrating!!

My opinion on Dodge is pretty much the same as Viv's - I think he can be manipulative, selfish and has been dishonest, not to mention everything with the fire and Phil - but its like Viv said, he is human and somewhere along the lines I still think he genuinely wants to change his life for the better and the Fletchers is his best chance. Or was. I think Pippa was rather harsh around the table and made it quite clear she doesn't like or want him in the family anymore in front of him as if he wasn't there, which wouldn't do Dodge any good in the long run at all, but I get where she was coming from in not wanting to loose Sally. It was a great episode and I cant remember watching it first time around so it is great to watch the scene where Sally is asked if she wants to be adopted, I think it was a really well written.
