I hope we get character like this again one day.

I feel Colby got rather a harsh exit. I know a lot people felt he deserved to go to jail for killing someone regardless of how they were but how I look at it was that it was someone who killed both his parents and hid his sister for years and later kidnapped his sister, his wife and best friend and shot Willow. It’s no wonder Colby was pushed over the edge. I do think Colby mostly wanted to be a good person but I think certain circumstances and factors got in the way of his better judgment. I do think that if Colby had just owned up too killing Ross from the beginning he would likely have just got self defence and would likely have got kicked out of the police force and with possibly suspended sentence or good behaviour bond. I do think 25 years was rather a harsh sentence given they did not fully explore the background on what lead to Ross to shooting. I guess burying the body did not help matters but Colby did not bring Dean down with him and some ways understood why Willow did what she had do even I went off her character after that and even Ziggy said you betrayed your mate despite what you did took guts. I though was harsh how lot Summer Bay residents got cold towards Colby as Mackenzie was being hypocrite given she was dated ex arm robber Ari and think Ziggy was far to quick to play judge on Dean and Colby and Marilyn and Nikau made harsh comments on Colby even though at time Marilyn was harsh about everyone as wasnt in her right head space. As for Angelo i truly hated his character after this and he was so hypocrite of him given he killed Jack and even it was not tensional and letting Hugo run free after all his criminal behavior and just felt he wanted to get back Colby because he was part gang that chase him out of town ten years previously and okay did not help matters Colby having affair with his wife. It’s funny in early days of Colby and Dean they were saying Colby always cleaning Dean mess here’s in and then later days it was them saying Dean always getting into Colby mess. I know Colby told Bella to never visit him but hope Bella at least called her brother to tell him she was moving to her other side planet. Hopefully Colby might return one day and redeem his harsh exit .

But in 2000, on Floss's return it was said she sold it but I guess that’s a problem with tv shows/movies sometimes you have overlooked things.

Also if Pippa had stayed I think she would have been a great asset to a drop in centre which came into the show around 2000. It’s a shame 7two episodes of the Early Years stopped as it would be great to see Pippa's final episodes again. Even though her final episode was a let down . But given they did not kill off Pippa I think it's possible they were hoping one day Debra might agree to return permanently. Debra said in an interview on Back to the Bay site that the main reason she left was because she wanted to move back to Melbourne as her mum lived there. Who knows had her circumstances be different she might have stayed on the show till this day. But I guess it is what it is .

God I think it’s gross to even marry a second cousin let alone own your first cousin or Aunt and uncle . You think it be legal as aunt and uncle are usually like second parents!.

I fix it up I meant living together.

I think had Tom lived then I think Tom and Ben would clash with living together!.

I think Bobby and Irene would become great friends had Bobby lived and even though they were on show for little while when Lynne taken over role and they seemed to get along well in time they had screens.

I think it would have been better if they had just written out Ben and Carly after they got married as both did nothing on show for remainder of time except act as younger parents of house when Pippa was not in episode,

I guess people waving her off.

I always wondered why Carly got such bad send off when she left in 1991?.

I wonder if Pippa might eventually have got back into nursing. I enjoyed Donald and Pippa's banter as I think Pippa had never forgotten the way Donald was towards them when she first moved to the Bay . Personally I think Pippa always had a fiery side to her whether Vanessa or Debra was playing her. I loved how Pippa told both Morag and Celia to shut up at separate times in 1989 as both Morag and Celia were very insufferable characters at times . I do think the reason why Pippa seemed more mellowed in her return visits was because she was basically just acting like Debra Lawrence and wasn’t dealing with dramas and very much how Irene at times acts just like Lynne Mcgranger when she in background more.

Thanks sorry to go off topic .

What more meant how far in motion was it planned as Lynne herself said she only just found out recently and what was going happen to Nick as was he going to be written out too or was going be sent to with Hayley and Noah?. Can you please show where I can see where Coral spoke about it more recently.

Given Lynne Mcgranger only found out her self year ago I am not sure how seriously true it was as probably was something only said in TPB office as thinking out loud and wouldn’t be surprised if someone mentioned axing Alf at some stage in past as I’m thinking out loud . It seemed werid to axed Irene then as she had Hayley and Nick still living with her. As for Pippa no I don’t think she would be ever axed and going by her exit on just going on hoilday I think Producers were hoping Debra was going change her mind and return even though Debra was pretty sure she wasn’t going too. I think had Pippa stayed her character would gotten married again possibly to widower single dad with teenagers . Also after Pippa left we had Natalie/Shelley/Beth/Sally etc all playing mother of household . I personally don’t think Michael needed to be character that need storyline’s every minute as work well as supporting character. Show always normal had at least two or three mother type characters in show be it Pippa/Alisa /Irene and later Alisa/Irene/ Natalie etc and this days we have Irene /Leah/Marilyn/Roo.

I think producers struggle with giving her stories or purpose . Was getting hard randomly having her show up at screens and normally her only screens was Summer Bay House or Diner.

Classic Neighbours too you mean as final years of Neighbours never did comedy.

This Month Marilyn over takes Sally in appearances in episodes and Marilyn be 4th longest serving character ever.

But Dean was like Bobby as both started out being angry rebellious characters and later calm down into nicer people. Even though very different characters and very different circumstances.

I am watching episode of my favourite quotes in early years when Alisa tells Alf Barbara is most normal one out of you sisters. I know people have said Barbara was boring character but I think she balanced it out better by her and Alf being more normal siblings and then Morag and Celia being lager than life characters. Alf I think basically think agreed as Alf quite often spoke down to Morag and Celia in early years but not with Barbara. I don’t why they ruined Barbara in 1996 just for shake of two episode drama.

But have to admit lot newcomers are likeable enough as characters even though they are not most interesting characters.

Her character just seemed to be a complete plot device to fill out the rest of Holly's contract.

Was coronavirus ever mentioned on show at all?.

I wish we got to see Pippa final episodes on 7two.

I think Xander would work as bi or gay tendencies character!.
