I’d actually forgotten all about the flash forward.

It feels like a pointless return but then the FF had him all tangled up in Branning business so maybe it'll work. Can we have Courtney back too?

I think he just return in the next couple of weeks to support Vicki during the Joel trial

If they had guts they’d bring back Jenna Russell as Michelle, given she wasn’t the problem, and give her better storylines. Particularly with her children there.

Jasmine is best when she's paired with Oscar, she does not read as a Slater at all but they could easily play into that rather than trying to force her to be like Kat. Her drunk acting was abysmal 😅

They need to bring her brother into it so she has something outside of her parents to focus on, I agree that there is potential but the writing is just so poor all round rn I have zero hope, idek if Lacey could save this should she come back

Nah Jasmine can leave now, this storyline is so boring. It won't be long before Oscar sees that video I'm sure.

I am definitely here for whatever this pairing of Elaine and Ian is! I said before it could be a romance in the making but even if it isn't it's fun to watch.

Ian and Elaine is a pretty genius pairing tbh I'll give them that

Also where has Callum disappeared to? 😂

Quietly written out we hope

I was working with the director tonight who directed the scene last week where Jasmine showed the video to Anthony’s dead body. We spoke no more about it.

I kind of love the thought of Ian and Elaine, the whole frenemy thing with Cindy was the best Elaine has been so that kind of vibe for a relationship I think will work wonders for her.

Ew at Councillor Barker being back

Like why is Sam’s cancer story pushed to the sidelines whilst Jasmine’s messy storyline is the headliner?

Lauren shouting at Jasmine asking who she is, perfect

They’ve messed Jasmine up completely. I can’t imagine her lasting the year and yet apparently she’s still with Oscar by New Years (unless Patrick has gay grandson that turns up)

And there’s so much that just isn’t being talked about onscreen. Did the do a DNA test to confirm? Does Jasmine know anything about her brother? Do they even still care about him?

Ooh okay I like this idea of Mark being entwined in the Ravi story. It does make me wonder if there's a "big boss" who we know and is yet to be revealed.

This Mark stuff is actually boring me to tears. Julie is amazing though.
