I don't really find the way that Poppy does absolutely nothing but spew the occasional inanely 'charming' irreverent diatribe these days much more 'interesting' than she was with Jodie.
I never minded Jodie; and I particularly liked Darren. The two worked well together.
I didn't mind Poppy either originally, but I think the producers sort of boxed both her and Jodie into a corner. They were obviously a bit of a tongue-in-cheek reference to 'Essex Girls', but I don't think the writers were very good at keeping the balance between their 'gimmick side' and their more credible characterisation, so they ultimately became parody/comedy characters - the same fate that has befallen many of the characters the show has brought in for comic relief lately. When they were given something with more depth to do, I couldn't quite take it seriously because they had been portrayed in such a caricature-ish way previously; so I always found myself waiting for the punchline, or for one of them to say something vacuous and flippant.
It's a shame really, because, other than that, I actually quite liked both of them, especially Jodie. They were a bit silly but I much preferred them to Lauren and Whitney, and I much preferred Jodie and Darren's relationship to the likes of Twitney. They were a bit vacant and shallow, but there was a certain element of maturity to them that is distinctly lacking in the current 'young set'; they all had jobs and some sense of aspiration, and had more to them than sitting around sulking and playing out the old woe-is-me my-parents-are-lyk-soooo0o0o0o0oo-unfair cliche we get from the rest of them.
As it stands, I wouldn't want her to return, because we already have an overwhelming amount of characters in their mid-20s and under. I would be happy with a trade off, however. Cut Alice, Joey, Lauren, Whitney, Tyler and Fatboy and I'd be happy to see Jodie and Darren return in their place. Darren will also be a full time father to George now, so it would be interesting to see him and Jodie back together and working on being responsible young parents.

I dont think Jodie and Darren ever reunited. Jodie left a couple of months after him with the intention of tracking him down but it was never confirmed if she found him or not. And considering after Heather's death the police and social services had extreme difficulty finding him (it was eventually revealed he was in India) I think we can assume Jodie would have failed.
Ha! I'm glad it wasn't just me!
Nice girl but might have only really registered with the people who fancied her or who she annoyed?
The girl who was only slightly less shaggable than Kara Tointon.:cool:
