Reading what happens tonight it seems like it is going to be very moving, last nights was fantastic (in a sad way that is) Tony i think is an actor who is very underated and what lies ahead for him now i wonder, poss a romance with mmm Sally as Brad is leaving at the end of the season.

Or poss Tony and Irene

She went on holiday for a while, stopping with Scott & Hayley along the way.

She was returning home to the birth of Kim & Kit's baby when she was involved in a fatal car accident (off-screen).

Oh how tacky is that? off screen... Prooves how bad H&A actually is nowadays, that it can't even show the death of one of the main characters ... shameful!!!

Tonight's episode was very tragic. I couldn't stand Beth but the acting and writing were superb and very emotional.

I'm glad it was offscreen. There was more suspence that way. Throughout the whole episode we were being told that a car crash had taken place but no mention was made of who it was. That way it was more of a shock (at least it would have been if I hadn't read spoilers ) when it turned out that the very crash blocking Kit's path to the hospital had killed her mother. Much better than showing Beth's death right off the bat. Seeing as I knew what was going to happen, the suspence may not have been there, but I was able to appreciate the irony of, at one point, Kit standing near the crash site unaware that her mother was dead only a few metres from her.

It was very moving though, espeically as Kit and Kim had to detour to avoid the crash....I guess you had to watch it to understand. The surprise made it better.

I think it's great they are having the main funeral off screen as well. It's obvious they couldn't get her assorted family back in real life, and there is no way any of them would miss the funeral.....

Errr...I'm watching Aussie pace and Brad appears to be going no where yet... What I will say is Tony gets a nice big storyline now

The actress who played Beth (Clarissa House) had not been on the show for a while. I believe she left, for whatever reason, months beforehand deciding not to return for a death scene and so they had to play it offscreen as best they could. If you actually had watched the episode, you would have seen how it was played out, with Tony coming up to Jack at the road block to tell him the news about the baby and he saw Beth, causing a breakdown. There may not have been fireworks and crashes but it had the desired effect.

Poor Brad, it'll be a shame to say good-bye to him, we'll miss you my friend.

Oh come on spoilers or no spoilers it was so obvious that Beth was involved in the crash! What they should have done is not mention Beth at all, say that she wasnt due back until the end of the week we then learn Beth had decided to come home a few days to surprise her family. Now that would have been a real shock and made it even sadder.

Not that I have any complaints about the episode, it was really well done - have to admit I got a bit choked up.
