Could Neville and Floss have stayed as long term guest instead of getting rid of them completely?.

I always wondered how Floss and Morag would have hit it off.

I could see Floss perhaps getting through to  Morag like on Neighbours with Helen getting through to Mrs Mangel.

Fair enough, it came up just said a short piece on it.

I wish Floss at least had stayed on past 1989 and was around during the Shane and Angel, Michael and Pippa, Sarah, Tug and Damo era. Maybe Nev could have died in 1989 and Floss stayed.

I'm not sure how she would have worked as a single character during that era - I do wish she'd been a regular for the 2000s instead of Colleen though. I don't think there was anything Colleen did that Floss couldn't have done, other than Lance's returns of course.

I think she would have worked as she could have helped Pippa around the house and been an extra person to work at Alf's store. 

We needed more older characters in 90s.

I can't see Floss getting  into same silly moments like Colleen and Celia did.

I  by no means saying it was  Lyn Collingwood's fault it was  just PTB just seem to make Colleen sillier and sillier.

Colleen made Eileen Clarke look tame. Floss was cheerful but was not a busybody.

Yes, obviously not as silly as Colleen, but I mean in terms of working in the diner for over a decade and also in terms of the few big storylines Colleen did: finding her daughter, the cancer, being conned by Norman etc. There is probably others from the period I wasn't watching too (post 2005). I also think Floss/Max and Floss/Leah would have been good combos, and she would have a stronger relationship with Sally than what Colleen did. They could have even introduced her grandson (Ben?) as a regular at some point too, whereas Colleen never had any regular family members.

I was very angry when there was a rumor that Floss was returning as a regular in 2008 and she ended up doing two episodes and then disappearing in smoke.

I don't think there would have been room for Floss, Colleen, Irene and Morag (she was a sporadic guest at that point).

But funny thing was, it was rumoured Colleen was leaving in 2008.
