Riley - Very upsetting that he has died presumed dead. He was a much loved character. I was so very excited for him when at the end of last season he and Kate were finally discovering they had feelings for each other and now she had found true love......how devastating!

Kate - Poor Kate will she ever find her true love? I wonder if they will match her up with and if they actually do?

Grace & Marcus - I noticed that Marcus was at Drovers and not really at Killarney. Kilarney I think isn't going to get much of a look in this season with Alex not there and Riley also gone.
I'm still not that fond of Grace's character but with her and Marcus hotting up I hope I grow to like her.
Love is in the air for those two, they remind me of Alex and Stevie's relationship way back in S4 & 5.

Stevie & Alex - Steves has a quite episode....but wait...... looking at the previews for the year I have a funny feeling Alex is also going to die......looking at the pictures of Steves I really think it's coming........very, very, very sad if I'm right. He will finally get to see Claire.


Moira - I hope she doesn't fall for Rakich again!!

Patrick & Tayler - Patrick is my new favourite in the boys (I still love Marcus though) so go Pat and get your girl. Very happy they kissed but for how long will it stay good?? I hope a while yet.

Bring on next week and lots more of Alex....
