I can't help but feel that the writers want to create a character of Libby in Elly Conway

with ben back, she could have been a recast libby

She is an English teacher too.

I'm finding them too similar

Inflated trout pout lips and too many teeth- irritating!

She can't enunciate round her horse's teeth. Those veneers are huge. I'd rather the actress went back to H&A as she's so like new Roo and their relationship would be interesting. It's a shame Libby won't be back but after the article about her wanting to be a stay at home mum this time it was even more unlikely she'd be back. I'd have loved to see Libby back now Steph is there too.

Let's campaign to get Libby back!

She got a bit of Izzyness about her

She seems like a Maneater to me.

I can't tell if she is a goodie or a baddie.

She's not like Libby at all except for looks.

Her dialogue with the Kenendya suggest she is. And ahe is an English school teacher.

I prefer Libby to Elly

Even in her most arrogant and un-self aware state, Libby was never as obnoxious as Elly.

I thought Libby was horrible towards the end of her run but Elly seems even worse! They look alike but at least Libby seemed vaguely interested in her job.

Elly is another Izzy waiting to be developed

I do agree with this. Elly seems to have no boundaries which TPTB may view as edgy but I just find it immature. Also the actress seems to be much thinner than she was in H & A or am I mis-remembering?

She was always thin but she's tiny now.

I really like Libby despite her faults and Elly is nothing like her. You're right - she has no boundaries at all.

I am so glad it was not just my TV!
