Favourite moment: when Toyah went to buy a yellow rose and Mary said, ah yellow a show of friendship and colour of urine.

Hope and Joseph are real life brother and sister.

My favourite ongoing moment is the ever expanding/contracting bedroom space in the small homes. Look at all the people at No. 1, for example. And where does everyone sleep at Chesney and Gemma's? I loved Aaliyah's Chandler Byng-like delivery of her line to Adam. My prediction is that the Todd pendulum is swinging back to bad. I still think that Lauren's father's right-wing nut jobs are involved somehow. Maybe that's why she's gone into hiding,as you think Brittlestar.

I am almost certain that after the rape storyline, Toyah's rapist went to jail and there was never any mention of a pregnancy, stillbirth, or burial. Either Toyah was really good at keeping her secret, or the writers rewrote her back history. I'm thinking it's the latter. lol

Thanks again, you two! I'm always happy to see your email and watch the recap as soon as possible.

Your characters of the week are so good! Nick really does twist his face around a lot. And Freddie - is that the original dog? Seems more fancy to me.

I agree that the talk between Nick and Toyah was great and Leannne's overreaction was crazy.

I sure hope the Lauryn story wraps up soon - I also don't feel that she's been murrrrrrderrrrred....and really should show up again soon.

Favorite moment - when discussing locations to search for Freddie, Evelyn mentions Freddie's favorite spot to check his pee-mail! I honestly have not heard that before - funny!

The storyline of Toyah’s rape was that she was so traumatized by it that she could not remember who it was. The rapist was a “friend” of hers (don’t remember his name) and was supposedly helping and supporting her the trauma until she finally remembers who it was. There was no mention of her being pregnant.

I feel like I've been watching this show a long time but I don't remember young Leeanne or Toyah. I do remember Les being around later, and their mother! Thanks for the clarification!

How long will it be till Leanne tells Toyah’s story to Rowan?

When Toyah placed the rose and said sorry. I thought she witnessed something.

I think my favourite moment this week was the radio show interview where Adi opened up to Amy. It was nice to hear Jason's name again even if it was because he fell off his moped again. Todd will always be a snake. As soon as I saw the envelope I knew he was going to open it. (I tell my wife all the time I could write this show, to which she rolls her eyes ever so much.)

What was the steamy secret that Glenda whispered in Kens ear about DEV??

Nick and Toya? Oh please NOOO! I do look forward to where this crazy cult story is going. Its a good distraction from Lauren. (I think Max's girlfriend knows something!)

I think both Todd and Joel are ‘good’ and will be around awhile. I like both characters. Todd is naturally nosy.and he after all, did let George know about Archie’s Will splitting the business between George and Glenda. I’m now fast forwarding through the entire Leanne/Rowan storyline. Uploading? What the what? And Rowan recorded all of that. What will he do with that recording? Toyah’s long ago rape and baby buried: this will only diminish her as an accomplished counsellor. I think this will be another FFW moment. We went through all her other baby drama and now we’re getting more?

Bobby’s meddling made Roy’s situation so much worse. Why Carla stepped up for him I don’t know.
