Jamie! Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Why did Irene stop going to university? At around 2002-2003, she became a mature student but a few years later, ended up working in the Diner. I don't remember her graduating, so I presume she decided to stop going, but why? Also, back in 1988, it was revealed that Carly had an identical twin called Samantha. If I remember correctly, the reason that Carly was fostered was because her father used to beat her up. Did her father not beat Samantha up as well? And if not, why not? And also, could someone remind me about when he offered Carly the chance to be a model like Samantha - was it just to intentionally set her up when she watched the documentary of it later? Quote
Light of the Bay Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I don't know the answer to either of your questions, but I too would like to know why she stopped going to university. It was a nice bit of character development and what a shane that she's been stuck in the Diner tossing salad since 2005. Although, steps MAY be taken this year to change that. Quote
Red Ranger 1 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Can't remember where Irene's storyline went.I think Carly's father didn't beat Samantha because they were more kindred spirits and she went along with him.And yes, the modelling thing seemed to be about making the doctored documentary which showed Samantha in a good light and made Carly look like she didn't have a clue what she was doing.

H&Alover Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 When is the H&A break coming in Aus time and how long will it be for? Quote
Dan F Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Break in Aus? They had their annual break over Christmas which lasted from 27th November to 27th January, shouldn't be another one now until November. Quote
H&Alover Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I meant the season finale where they usually have a cliffhanger? Quote
Dan F Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 I meant the season finale where they usually have a cliffhanger?Yes the Christmas break is when they have the season finale - that episode airs in the UK this coming Friday. Quote
beau_t Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) IIRC Irene going to university was simply dropped around the time the Script Producer changed hands from Coral to Bevan circa 2004. It wasn't so much a storyline so much as just an ongoing development of her character that gradually became less and less mentioned. So I guess you could understand why it was eventually forgotten about but it's still a shame. I think it would be nice, even now, if they retconned that Irene did get her degree from uni. It doesn't need to be a big deal just dropped into a conversation. Even though they stopped showing it, we could believe that she continued going to uni until she graduated. Actually someone should ask Lynne about it on twitter! Edited February 23, 2014 by beau_t Quote
H&Alover Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for that Dan, so that ought to mean we won't be so far behind! Quote
haaf14 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Why in the UK do we have 2 breaks for H&A. The first is understandable due to the Christmas break but why do they have one during mod August to mid September? Quote
