How did Pippa not notice that a) she married Michael within days of Tom's first death anniversary and 2) she then lost Dale on the same day 3 years later. 

Good heavens, I never noticed that. That head change must have been more traumatic than we thought

I literally had Celia's voice in my mind as I read your "good heavens!".

If Celia had been around when Pippa started going out with Michael, she would have had something to say. Tom was probably not long enough in the ground for her liking.

She'd probably snap back about "not wasting her remaining years grieving for the Les Palmers of the world"

She wouldn't be wrong either

I'm always wondering "what would Celia say?" when I watch any controversial (to Celia!) scene after she left! Especially as the show ramps up in the later 90s...

"Oh Pippa Dear, I'm so glad I caught you..."

(Typical wooden response from Pippa 2): Oh, Hi Celia.

"yes, hello indeed! Anyhow, I just wanted to tell you that I saw Young Shannon walking with that dreadful writer woman again!"

Pippa: Mandy?

Celia: Yes, that's who I'm referring to! I believe she has.... modern.... well, let's just say she's very modern. Not to worry though, I've already called an emergency meeting of the Women's Auxiliary with a view to get her removed from the district with immediacy!

^ Complete with Ian at the table chuckling about her being "quite a character" while Pip's eyes roll skyward.

The birth order of the Stewart siblings. Alf, Morag, Celia, Barbara and Debra. The secret half sister Colleen Smart was born 1940 I think and for years it was never known she was their half sister. As for the ones outside Colleen I am sure we have at least a case of Irish twins in the siblings, maybe among Debra, Celia and/or Barbara. Alf born 1945, Morag born 1948 (or 1941/1942). That 2010 flashback to about 1950 also adds to the confusion.
