The opening titles! Feels weird not seeing Eddi on it but seeing Luc at the end. I was quite surprised how half empty I felt just with that!

Ok, so 8 mintues in and im all...

"Wheres Eddi?"
"F**K off Chrissie, AAU is Eddi's!!"
"New CT1? Sorry love, only Eddi is allowed to wear converse wtih srubs on AAU! (and sacha of course!)"

I feel bad for watching...I even almost didn't hoping I could lower viewing figures..haha! Im doing ok, if Luc was in this episode, I'd most likely be unconscious now

EDIT: @Bex, I didnt watch the credits, im stll in "Leddi's just not in this episode and thats ok" bliss.

Feels like everrrrythingggggs changed on this episode & it only been on 8mins...

Ok just got keep with it.

Hahahahahaaaaa you joker! I think it best luc not in it i dont think i could cope either...

The new girl in AAU reminds me of a mixture of Freda and Eddi. Do you think the HC team are trying to compensate?

Ok so far, for me personally, I do not like this new girl.

Might change my mind by the end...

You're worrying me. To watch or not to watch?

It didn't record so in taking it as a sign, 'you won't cope'

I like the new girl.

I'm missing Luc today.

The new girl is alright, but she'll never be an Eddi or Freda, but then again I am biased in that department! I wonder how this new girl will react to Luc and visa versa, considering she was observing everyone.

I like the new girl on aau too... Trying not too but i do. Also liking the new doctor on keller too! But thats just cos he nice to my eyes hehe. Ok with him & luc to look at i may be ok...

Yeah, he is damn hot. I hope he's staying. I hope he gets jiggy with Chantelle so I can imagine it's me, LMAO.

Yeah new dr is cute. Still not so keen on this new girl, maybe she will grow on me.

Not been really keen on this episode full stop tonight. I look forward to Luc coming back.

Me too. Ahhh i like chantelle so i hope so she deserves a nice guy!!!

I like this new girl too...worryingly I think she will get on well with Luc...

EDIT: Clearly he now should become a Monk until Eddi comes back for him!

That shot! Brings back Eddi leaving in the car around the bend with Luc looking longingly and heartbroken at it disappearing :'(

I think they will get on too but think she be more like a little sister or excited puppy... not a luv interest for him.

Bloody Marie claire making Chantelle look like an idiot.

Yeah I agree, think they will get on well.
Isn't she only staying for 8 episodes?

Yes, Chantelle scores Lucky moo. lol.

Yeah, only 8 episodes, she said in a interview she leaves on a happy note though.

Is it me or has she practically visited all of Eddi's important places. The place she left.... the places she first popped pills when max left...the lovely corridor to AAU..AAU itself...if she goes within 20ft of Lucs caravan I'll personally chop her leg off!

Love Chantelle and this new Dr....my new ship? New? No..wrong word. My 'other' ship to carry me through until my favourite ship return to harbour?

Hahaha yeah I am liking Chantelle and the new dr
I really missed Eddi

Yeah i agree...they are my other ship! Liking them alot... whats his name? I nearly went blind in 1 eye with his attractiveness that i forgot to listen & they never said it again!

I dont know his name either... Oops....

Yes, I missed Eddi, I feel she would have been an allie to the new CT1. They could have had a similar relationship to her and frieda... Bad times...

Yeah, I quite liked Dr Birdwood on first impression - a little bit quirky but a good doctor. I think she will get on with Luc (both observational, interested in research, traveled a lot). Actually, I'm curious as to what their dynamic will be like, especially with Luc in a state of Edd-less denial (aren't we all?!). In other news, Jack Ryder (the would-be thief) has not aged well since his days in EastEnders, bless him.

Chantelle's storyline worked well. It was great to see her stand up to Mary-Claire. I also liked Rhys, nice to see Gareth David-Lloyd back on screen, it was sweet that he looked out for Chantelle.

I was watching the episode going, "So you're not going to mention Eddi then? Or where Luc is? Dr Birdwood, you can't go ignoring Our Favourite Extra!" and so on.

The Hanssen stuff, well, it's nice to see Guy Henry being given more to do than look mysterious but I'm not usually overly fussed with the politics side of things and it isn't particularly grabbing me this time around either.

But yeah, not too bad an episode for me - partly because The Departure doesn't seem real, so I just felt kind of relaxed that there wasn't a storyline that could influence my mood for the rest of the week!
