I don't see why the show needs so many teens.. There used to be about 3 back in the day

And the show really took a dive when Susan Bowyer (sp?) saturated it with teens!

Josh and Amber are as dull as ditchwater. The swimming storyline is beyond boring and a waste of Brad's acting skills. All he does is stare at the water with a stop watch in his hand.

There were about 6 teenagers at one point, but they were all the same age which made it look like there was more. I think it's about right at the moment.

I think the balance of characters is perfect at the moment, it's just that a couple of the actors aren't great. Mason and Matt being the worst offenders.

Josh has improved a lot for me in recent times. Imogen and Bailey are the best newbies of the kids and Terese and Sheila are the best adults.

I quite like sheila but I disagree with you about Terese. I think she's very self absorbed and seems disinterested with her kids. Especially Imergen. Horrible character!

Scott, Charlene, Jane, Mike, Danny, Nickki, ...there were always a few teens at any one time.
