How come jenny called rita??
I felt so sorry for the boy playing jack!! I wouldn't allow my child to film such upsetting scenes - how are they doing them??
Alya starts to annoy me now with her attacks on carla, and sarah is such a boring character, she's not interesting at all. Plus the whole custody battle has lasted too long for soap land. Brian and Ken living together is a great idea! ��

jenny called rita so the writers could involve the old boring bat in the storyline

how bad was the acting from them all in that storyline, little jack outshone them all

Yes it was really bad acting all around. Still Kevin has loss of memory re his deceased child. Jenny well over the top! Agree bad for the child actor. Alya needs to understand that Carla did not get Kal to come into a burning building! Hate that horrible backpacker friend of Dev. I hear she turns out to be a lesbian. Serves him right/ But she is such a user.

They have to keep the quota up.

Next partner for Sophie????

I thought the end of the kidnapping story was pretty gripping stuff even though the acting was dodgy at times. I'm glad Jenny came out of it looking relatively sympathetic. The worst bit for me was Sophie, especially when she cruelly said to Rita about telling Jenny to jump. Very christian of her!

I wish I hadn't read about them forgetting that Kevin's previously lost a child or I doubt I would have remembered. As it was it was incredibly jarring during Kevin's conversation with Jenny on the balcony, particularity when he said that he couldn't imagine losing a child.

Tim was very funny trying to hide his distress at Kevin's ordeal, and Sally was amusing with her jealousy over Tim's concern for Kevin.

Why on earth does David allow Callum into the house when picking up and dropping off Max? That's not normal in that kind of situation - but then we'd miss the many contrived scenes of Callum gleefully winding up David and Kylie in front of Max.

It's tenuous but I think they can just about get away with Jenny calling Rita because she was a mother figure to her once and they've recently reconnected (albeit with lots of anger on Rita's side).

What I thought was more unlikely was Rita just happening to be at Kevin's when Jenny called.

Rita visited Kevin to inquire whether there had been any news about Jenny and Jack ... perfectly reasonable to me with regard to her relationship with Jenny ...so quite believable that she was present at the time of the phone call
