yeah actually i agree with you...i guess it just seems like shes a background character because the writers have rushed her storylines to give a particular couple more than their fair share of airtime it really bugged me how they rushed the joe storyline, especially when she found out he died and she completely flew off the handle with tony and then in the following episode she was given about 30 seconds of airtime! it was a bit of a joke really. amy is an amazing actress and she deserves heaps more airtime than what shes been getting!
