It's about 90% certain that Stingray dies of a brain tumour. Therefore, it's him who gets cancer and he's the one who's funeral it is.
Before he dies, he gets together with Sky. According to something I read somewhere (it was someone who would know) this is a good thing when it happens though it may seem weird now.
Kerry isn't his. Dylan is confirmed by DNA testing as the father. But although Sky and Dylan kiss again, they realise 'the spark has gone' and they remain good friends and Dylan helps raise Kerry.
I've always hated the Rachel-Stingray relationship, becasue she was so clingy and I thought it was really badly written. So I was glad to hear about the Sky and Stingray, and apparently a relationship is brewing between Rachel and Frazer's 16 year old brother, Ringo (who's real name is Rick, but he wants a new identity too).
Oh, and Teresa planned to take Kerry, Stingray did take her, but passed out, so Dylan to Kerry from Stingray.
Dylan leaves a week or so after Stingray dies, so that's probably why. Sky and Kerry leave, this is probably the reason too. I hope that Dylan stays near Sky and Kerry, he doesn't seem the type to leave them. I want Sky to go to Toby's farm!
Also, Janelle and Bree are leaving. Don't know why or when, but Stingray dying probably plays a part. They leave a bit after the boys though. (Some people may also be glad to know that Bree ditches the black hair and stuff soon. She can't carry off that look, I really don't like it. She's going to turn 'skater' according to the australian TV Week.)
Also leaving are:
Will, Katya, Loris, Mishka, Max, Lyn, Oscar, possibly Boyd but not for a while, and a few more maybe.
Oliver Barnes is a new character who is Will's brother.
A girl called Glenn Forrest is arriving - she had a fling with Boyd in Tasmania and wants him back!
Lolly returns! She's played by Adelaide Kane and has aged way more than she should have. (Like the Robinson triplets - has anyone else noticed that Sky was a toddler when Gail was pregnant, but now Elle and co are older than her?) She's come to stay with Lou because she fell out with her Dad's wife Sandy, but she's not having her 3 month contract renewed apparently.
Ringo Yeats is supposed to be a really good new character, who has had his contract renewed, I think.
And also, Robert returns for his trial, Toadie is shot but survives - I think he gets together with Steph, Max returns after having a new family but I think leaves again, Elle dumps Dylan, Izzy's in London where she meets Susan and Karl (and apparently, Julian Clary, Neil Morrisy and more, but that's not certain, I can't remember where I heard it), Ned joins forces with Paul and gets a gambling addiction, Guy holds Zeke, Steph, Charlie, Toadie and Katya hostage, Janelle and Steiger get together, Rosie has been pictured kissing Frazer, Paul and Pepper, and Lyn and Paul get married but he dumps her for Rosie on the honeymooon.
