I will always be angry at Pippa's exit in 1998. Sure she might have come back many times after but there was just no emotion to her last episode. At the very most I wanted Pippa to have a heart to heart talk with Sally as she was leaving behind the one foster child she arrived in the bay with. Pippa didn't even get a proper final scene with Alisa/Alf/Irene/Donald /Marilyn if I remember rightly. I can't help but wonder if they gave Ailsa and Pippa bad exits on purpose because they were angry at well regarded Australian actress's like Judy and Debra quitting and expected Debra and Judy to stay on the show for years and years.

I mean she might try to be good cop but certainly failed at all counts. I mean I think she was saved more times then she saved anyone and in fact having trouble remembering when she saved someone. She definitely was lower version of Charlie as least Charlie was far better written character and least Charlie did seem to better job at helping others and Kat made far to obvious she was on to Charlotte and someone like Colby or Charlie would be smart enough not to let someone dangerous unstable like Charlotte know they on to her. Its funny how they seem to talk about her death in media as if she was fan favourite and yet seemed unpopular in fan community.

Also was it ever confirmed when Alf's parents died?

I think she could easily get acting work again and expressing in London after all panto stuff she done !. Besides she doesn’t need to work anymore as she in retirement age .

I can’t see Dean cheating as Dean is not the cheating type because he is not easily lead and more strong-willed, whereas Brody always was easily lead and just look at other times when he gave in to drugs and married Ziggy when cleaning he was not fully into the idea. Of course not saying cheating only because you are easily lead but just saying differences between Dean and Brody.

I just wish Donald was around til end of Angie saga as I would love to see him give Angie walk of shame. But I think Donald left at right time.

Despite not liking Ziggy much at first, I thought she was too much of brat but I've grown to like her as she's someone that knows her business and she knew how to get Dean away from his dad.

I know it’s not character related but good to have someone like Lynne in cast as she very devoted to show and fans as she is very she honest with fans and bought rumours to PTB attention to close them down.

I like her first time round but second time round i was quite indifferent to her.

In 2012/2013 Celia was being nasty and judgmental towards Harvey and Morag was putting Celia in her place by saying that's rude Celia even for you. Celia snapped back and said you have come out with rude things in the past. Morag said back maybe I did once but I have learnt to keep my opinions to myself at least most of the time.

Morag was different beast by then and so was Celia. I wish they gave Morag more positive exit. They might made up at one of there parents funerals and annoyed how they forgotten about there parents and in 2002 Morag told Flynn that there dad dead 16 years ago and that’s other error they made.

Recently I watched Morag final episode in 1989 and Celia was not in episode and so did Celia and Morag leave on good terms or bad terms?.

Why do you say that?

But Ross was a bad person and I think of all the people Colby saved. Ross was the type to kill any decent human being. Charlotte was the same and if Josh hadn’t killed Charlotte when he did then half the characters would be dead by now. Charlotte would have kept on killing people and she would even have killed her own son Hunter once he turned against her. Gunno even called Charlotte a piece of work and at least Gunno only went after enemies and I thought Gunno was still not a good person by any means.

Ross was even worse than Charlotte so I hardly think Colby killing Ross is worse than Josh killing Charlotte as both Ross and Charlotte deserved to die.

I just can’t imagine Colby being in bi storyline and can even imagine Dean more in bi storyline then Colby.

I must say I much preferred 2000's Morag to 80s Morag as I felt 80s Morag was a bit over top in her nasty mouth for someone who was supposed to be an intelligent woman and high court judge. Not saying that just because you're an intelligent person that you're nice. But I just mean in real life anyone would think Morag was not cut out to be a judge if she was being that over the top nasty and lot of her words were not really coming from someone who was supposed to be an intelligent woman. Morag we had in 2000s was far more intelligent with her words and put downs and normally it was to someone that deserved to be put down. That's why I think Morag was shown more once she mellowed as there was to do with her character as when they kept her nasty there was limited to what could do with her character by being cut off with everyone.

I have noticed many people have posted they preferred to had Floss then Colleen and i am one of those people as long as didit turn Floss into busybody or towns laughing stock as Floss was never busy-body like Celia and Colleen and was without doubt definitely more down to earth then Colleen and Celia.

Always had the impression that she was only brought back so Alf could have a family member to talk to. It's the same with Martha I think she just bought form dead just so Ruth and Alf have excuse to leave when Ray or Georgia taking time off and same with Karl on Neighbours as believe they created Holly as excuse for Karl to leave as Alan wants time off.

Also what happened to Marilyn parents? That storyline never seemed to make sense as there were two sets of parents and Marilyn never mentioned either parents again.

Why were they thinking of writing out Irene in 2002? I think it very bizarre since she had Nick and Hayley at that point and she had been around for almost ten years. With both Donald and Shelley leaving around that time you'd think they wouldn't want to lose any more older characters, and if any you'd think Colleen would be dropped before Irene. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I wouldn’t say that, but its probably not as simple as it sounds to kill off a character off screen .

Funny thing is Morag is not even mentioned anymore!. Don’t mean to be blunt but why won’t they kill Morag off screen as it’s unrealistic for her to never appear again!.

But it didn’t really go anywhere!.
