I’m actually annoyed that of all people to discover the body it had to be Lizzie during her parole hearing and after she gets approved to go home with her family. It would have been nice if the only thing she had to stress about was waiting for the decision. But this David Bridges situation certainly makes her exit memorable. I agree with the sentiment that the David Bridges serial killer storyline actually ended too quickly. It’s a shame that Brenda Hewitt didn’t last longer - there were more interesting storylines that could have been done with her I think.

You'd think that after a situation like that, they'd think to check that room. I don't get why Anne is being so cruel to Wally. He really seems to love her despite messing up and having a fling with someone else.

It was nicely done there by Bobbie to give them the slip, but it was an absolutely stupid way to get apprehended, she done all the hard work and then dropped herself in it so unnecessarily. Higgins is rotten to the core, so I'm not surprised she voted against Lizzie's parole, but thank god the other board members had more sense and compassion. Its inconceivable that burying bodies in the prison garden could be done unnoticed, but that kind of thing is what makes this show so great.

I can personally relate to Ann Reynolds storyline. coz I am going through the same nightmare at the moment. Cancer runs very strong in my Family and I am under The Liverpool royal Linda macartney centre the breast unit. The lump is over 7cm and gotta have an operation and more testing. But the Lump has to be removed and recently l found another lump on my other breast. so l admit to be honest totally freaked out. Got enough medical problems it is. So this scare has bin the 🍒cherry on the cake🍰. There is millions of other people out there with the same problem and face the same fears. It is very very frighting. Back when this show was filmed. So many women would never talk about this. Times have changed - We now have support groups, The internet and people are a lot more open and honest and its well talked about. Theres a lot more understanding. These are real issues that still happen to this very day. The writers and the actors did amazing job of the storyline and strongly support - 🎗Breast cancer awareness🎗. So Many people are unaware and is important for shows like this to highlight storylines like this and still need to be talked about more. But a big well done to the Actress, Actors and writers for this storyline. Not an easy subject.
