I'm not happy with Sam and Danny being killed off. I especially wanted Sam around for the conclusion of the John Paul rape storyline.”

BiB: I would have been happy had she even got a mention once it was revealed what Patrick did to Maxine, but that story seems to have disappeared again. Is Dodger still in jail?

Exactly!

I don't blame Lizzie for not being happy, I certainly wouldn't be.

Awful writing. Very unnecessary and cheap for them to go like that. The aftermath has felt very off due to deciding to steer the Lomax family in a different direction too quickly. This could have easily been done without another predictable death. Could have easily been written out alive but of course, BK just had to go the cliche move. I've had enough of it. Sam and Danny still could have played a part in this ongoing storyline and they should have been given the chance to redeem themselves after the recent events that went on.

I know we still have more episodes to watch but when you watch the current aftermath, you notice they aren't acting like they're dead and the focus on the parents already shifted to Ste immediately after they died.

So your computer autocorrects to Set too?

Indeed, there was so much mileage to explore with Peri coming to terms with the reveal about her true parents, especially with Cameron only just out of prison. Sam of course knew about JP's rape, and incidentally was back-up regarding knowing about Nico being Sienna's daughter. Sam may also have been able to prove Joe's innocence over Fraser's murder. So a waste to axe Sam now yet alone kill her off.

It's like the time they killed off Anna Blake prematurely for no real reason; they never did tie up her lose ends. Now they've killed off Sam & Danny in the midst of major story. I wanted to see Danny's reaction to learning about JP's rape, and seeing Sam involved in arresting Finn. It also seems pointless giving Ste a family and introducing a nuclear family, only to wipe out the parents a year later.

They pile on so much misery on to these characters in a short space of time, they all should be psychologically messed up.”

Not only is her departure premature, but her killing off unnecessary. They could have had Danny and Sam still move to NZ, Peri stay behind at least to come to terms with Leela being her true mum and Tegan stay behind out of concern for Peri at this emotionally confusing time.

In 1999 we had Lucy's parents arrange a move for Lucy, which she lost interest in at the last minute. At least then we had her parents leave without suddenly being killed off.
