adam436 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I guess retcons are probably major and more often than not deliberate, sometimes ruining characters' credibility in the process (i.e. Alf in the Martha storyline, Helen Daniels and Max Ramsay in the Neighbours' Ramsay family one), whereas continuity errors are just that.. errors. That's my view anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I don't think a retcon necessarily needs to ruin a character, and if it does people can probably get over it (revealing Donald had an affair with his sister's wife while she was pregnant was pretty damaging but didn't exactly define the character) but I do think they need to be deliberate rather than someone just not remembering the details.Alf having known his first wife was still alive for 30 years and not telling anyone is a retcon. Colleen's estranged husband having two different names is a continuity error. But I guess there are grey areas where you suspect the people responsible didn't really know if a question had already been answered or not.

Norhing more than an exit storyline for Jade, they could have easily written her out with out it. Didn't Jade go off the rails over this, being the reason Duncan and Seb got into car crash that paralyzed Seb making him leave the bay, and then Jade straight after? I HATED Seb and Jade together (because Nick and Jade were one of my favorites of all time) but giving them a happy ending was just one way they could have avoided the not being twins thing and still write her out.

So I hated this.

Do they have the same father or mother? If father that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxland 89 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Maybe Colleen was kept back at school a few yearsin a few classes. Which would add to the name calling of hopeless hickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father, but the point is that Colleen was said to be their father's first born, quite a few years older than Alf never mind Morag, the result of an affair he had around the time he got married.
