So, the introduction of Stand-In Libby, complete with mildly ridiculous voice-over explaining the situation.In case the viewers didn't quite understand, we're treated to a whacking great close-up of her just after Ben calls her mum and another as she informs a caller "Libby Kennedy speaking."At this stage, inevitably, the viewer is left wondering how Kym Valentine would have played the scenes and it's likely she would have been a lot more desperate during the "panic" scenes as opposed to Michala Banas' more adult and laid-back interpretation of the character.
Turns out that Toadie and Kelly haven't noticed Callum can't read either, which might explain their decision to split.Kelly seems to be reinstated way too quickly(wasn't she only suspended that morning?)and although they have had scenes together before, the friendship between her and Elle just seems to have come out of nowhere.
All of which is far more interesting than more Declan-and-Bridget shenanigans.Why exactly is Declan on the phone to Rachel instead of driving like mad to get there?Why does Rachel phone Rebecca at such a strange time?At least someone seems to have realised that you can't get an abortion done in an afternoon, Bridget's told to come back later.Miranda seems to come on a bit strong at the end, although it's very understandable.Declan and Bridget aren't the most appealing set of star-crossed lovers so it's going to be difficult to feel sorry for them.And seriously, how stupid is Rebecca, banging on about the shared experience of giving birth to someone who's never done it?
