I totally agree with everything that you have said, Kirsty and Laura.
I seems to me that a lot of the talking and that seems to happen offscreen and unfortunately it does present other questions which would explain why some of the other Home and Away fans seem to believe that there isn't a lot of trust, etc because we don't see the development in their relationship onscreen.
It is extremely disappointing that it seems like things have been left at that hospital and that there may not be any further development. After such a big issue like that in a married couple who are due to become a family in a couple of months, you would at least expect there to be continuing D&M's so that they can work things out together before their son arrives.
Hopefully we do get to see Tachel making the most of the time left that they have as just the 2 of them, and that they are able to create an environment which is just right for bubs.
