I'll miss Rob, I think he could be hot headed but he was a down to earth guy who was always trying to do the right thing. His story doesn't feel complete to me. I would have liked him to stick around a while longer.

It's interesting to see how Selina seems a lot more mature when she's hanging out with her mates, compared to when she is in scenes with Irene where she appears more childlike which is a very realistic dynamic considering how Irene is so maternal towards her.

I liked how the custody episode wasn't rushed and we got a really good understanding of how Mrs Harris feels towards Dylan. It didn't come across as two-dimensional (baddies v goodies) which I was anticipating.

Enjoy seeing the fostering element taking centre stage, it definitely helps to connect the past to the present and feel like a genuine foster family. It actually feels more like a foster family now than it did a couple of years ago, the atmosphere in the house is a lot more realistic.

I notice Donna going on about Andrew's court appearance. The portrayal in the show seems to suggest it is more than just a restraining order. It seems to be that Andrew is actually up on criminal charges, and he faces a committal hearing. Does that mean he would be committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court? Isn't that for very big cases like murder? And the way Donna was going on, it sounded like Andrew was enjoying being violent, despite his regrets when he was on-screen and in Summer Bay. The hatred was going both ways — Donna was getting pleasure out of pretending the fish she was slaughtering was Andrew, and was being quite childish and infantile about it.

Andrew did mention receiving a "summons" in his last episode, the implication being that he's been charged with assault.Not sure where that would be heard, District Court perhaps? It might be dependant on whether he's contesting it or not, although the references to a trial suggest he is.

Well, Mrs Harris warned that looking after a child wasn't romantic and Shane and Angel are definitely having their share of teething troubles.With Rob no longer available, the friendship between Shane and Travis seems to be kicking in.Shannon really didn't seem to notice that she was the third wheel to Curtis and Selina at the Diner. Selina probably did the right thing not talking to her at the end, Shannon wouldn't have paid any attention, she's going to have to find out the hard way.

There seem to be a lot of comings and goings recently and you really are left wondering where the story is heading, with characters like the new teacher and her son, and the foster child Kim. After the few episodes (2?) that Kim appeared in, you were kind of left wondering what the point was. But I suppose it was to portray how unstable and unpredictable being a foster parent can be. I do wonder if they were testing the waters and wondering if she could be a new Sally but it didn't work out.

Can't say I'm particularly liking Joe that much. Loved seeing Jack wear that cap :D I recognise the teacher from somewhere, but my memory is telling me it's a lot more recent than 1995 H&A when I would have only been very young. Having said that I do remember other things coming up shortly so maybe it is her role in H&A I recognise her from.

Shannon said to Selina that she'd been thinking for a while that her and Curtis could get back together, but we literally only saw it the last few episodes. I really enjoyed the custody story with Shane and Angel.

I'm still confused about who wanted Dylan - was it Mrs Harris or Paul? A few episodes back, wasn't is suggested that Mrs Harris' sudden change of heart was because Paul was putting pressure on her to keep Dylan? But in the custody hearing it seems Mrs Harris was the one who wanted Dylan more than Paul did.

The "alternate" Shane and Angel shot in the opening credits has been used quite a lot lately. I wonder if there was any rhyme or reason to when it was used, and who decided...

Poor Selina losing the baby miscarriages are terrible and unfortunate events that happen to people sadly :(

Poor Sally getting rejected by Joe.

Shannon you misread Curtis a few episodes back.

Why is this so sad? It's not as if she was in an established relationship and decided to have this baby before she fell pregnant. No?

Sorry Dan F and anyone who may be offended by this, but I cannot feel any sympathy for Selina. There is plenty of time for her to have children later on, when she is grown up and ready.

As for Sally, I can't see what the big deal is, her being rejected by Joe. It's not the first time someone has been rejected.

I know that but in the end after  it happened she said she wanted it and was crying.  And I know that too but I feel for characters don't  ask me why.
