Erm...... I am as excited as I was when I found out Robbie Jackson was returning.


Wish they'd tempt Chelsea back for a guest stint.

Interesting. I wonder what that's about. I don't mind Libby.

I am so upset about this - they keep reviving the worst characters they finally bumped off: Jean, Cora and now Libby.

I hope it's just a guest stint, but she does need the money.

Its two episodes

Agreed. Stop bringing back awful characters. The only thing Jean, Cora, and Libby have in common is that I loathe them all equally.

Won't the character be finishing uni soon? Inhonestly wouldn't mind her back full time...the unit is being to actually be fixed with the new additions and established characters would be welcome as i now enjoymthe fox family

She had finished her undergrad degree and was doing a research masters the last we saw of her. It kind of looked like she had set herself up for a career as an academic at Oxford, i think she even had her own office with her name on it.

I was just wondering as most uni courses are 3-5 years and shes been there 5 now

Jean is a good character though.

Cora has not be revived as Ann Mitchell never left. Ann has had a good break and is now back filming. Cora and Jean are great but Libby is a boring character.

I'm not that fussed on Libby but it will Denise some screentime which is what is important.

I agree. I like her myself but she isnt the greatest character.
We do need more denise but aside from that i'd like her to share a scene with tamwar

I'm glad it will give Denise more screen time but i think the actress playing Libby is god awful.

How comes they are bringing back useless characters. Has the world REALLY missed Libby..

Don't forget they're bringing back Dean Gaffney for a "brief" stint as well. Now if Grant Mitchell were to pop up sometime that would be worth watching.

Its a couple of episodes, it makes sense for the character to make occasional visits to see her family.

I don't remember her at Lucy's funeral. I don't even remember any scenes between her and Lucy when she was in the show. Why did she go to the funeral?

She went for Denise as she was with Ian at that time.

I assumed it was because Denise was about to marry Ian at the time so the two families were connected so more as support for Denise rather than for Lucy, I cant remember them ever having scenes together either although they are roughly the same age group

Apart form Stacey and Peggy , I've not been impressed with any of the returnees that DTC has brought back . (Hopefully Kathy will work out too ) What does it say that he keeps getting back people that most of the audience consider to be boring characters .

Least it's consistent. Would like Chelsea back though

Thank goodness for that..can't stand her lol

Oh again? Really? Can't say I'm bothered

A scene with cousin Pearl will be interesting I suppose. Maybe also with Tamwar seeing as how they had a bit of chemistry before they went off their separate ways.

Meh overall, rather they brought back Chelsea. A potential scene with Dean after all these years might be interesting given what they got up to in 2007. They never had a follow up scene after Dean's exit (apart from that aggressive one where he confronted Chelsea with those cuts on his arm).
