Sally's return is handled well here, with an attempt to give her moments with all the mainstay characters right from the top, although her reunion with Marilyn is glossed over somewhat.The tension between her and Roo is believable but unnecessary, so thankfully it doesn't seem to last long, and the continuity is spot on(perhaps a bit much in places, with her still insisting on calling Alf Mr.Stewart).The way she effortlessly slips into a maternal role with Maddy reminds us just how much we've missed her.
The Spencer/Sasha/Maddy triangle frustrates in places but it's nice that Maddy isn't being demonised:All of the confrontations here are initiated by Spencer, Sasha or both, as they seem desperate to have it both ways and keep her as a friend while seeing each other, at least until Sasha decides to take the coward's way out and run away from the mess she's caused.
The Zac/Holly storyline has gone on way too longer and the credibility is shot to pieces here:Why would Holly not only be in the same school but the same classes as Zac after her false accusations against him were exposed?The cliffhanger seems to expect us to care what happens to her but it's hard to see why.
