On a one-to-one basis I like Fiona Spence as Vera more than Maggie Fitzpatrick as Joan. that being said in the beginning I thought Joan was a novelty ;then she became boring. these later episodes have given Maggie Fitzpatrick a chance to really show the depth of her ability. she's doing a good job

I think that is the most honest and civil conversation Joan ever had with Meg. Funny they kept Den alive in Meg’s dialogue then not a mention at series’ end. Sad.

[@NativeMoon]

Daaaaaang - never thought I'd see the day where Freaky Fergie would flush her self-respect down the loo and cry while she did it. So Terri is actually Bisexual - and should have been up front with Joan about it. How utterly despicable to lie by omission, cheat on the woman you claim you love in HER house in HER bed -- and then get hysterical because you got caught out. Joan ends up seeking advice from Meg and unfortunately loses control and takes her pain out on the women and it can only get worse from here surely. But damn if I didn't actually feel sorry for her for a change. Hope Terri ends up being thrown out but sad to say I can't see Joan risking love again. Interesting juxtaposition between her and Terri vs the conversation between the Copper and Queenie when he says "Nobody and I mean nobody is all bad. Sometimes you gotta do a bit of digging; but you'll always find something.". Well that's Joan Ferguson, to be fair. Maggie Kirkpatrick played a blinder with this episode. Fantastic acting right the way through. My respect, Ma'am.

[@lampshade8818]

I agree. I've liked her character from the start. Simply because the actress is sublime in her part.

NativeMoon ... im not excusing wot Terri did at all... its fuckin disgusting! when ur in a relationship ur faithful no matter wot. my first husband beat the living crap outta me constantly for 11 years n cheated on me but i was 100% faithful even thru that.... BUT Joan KNEW Terri was bisexual. it was even in this episode Terri talking about an ex (male) ... but shes made no secret of it and Joan knew... even in the office terri had talked about men b4. i THINK joan might have been her first woman which tis why joan knew she was risking a lot on their first date but then terri said she wanted to go home... together... sick of ppl making wrong comments just coz they skip parts or dont concentrate thru it or wotever... if ur gonna comment get ur facts str8.

[@NativeMoon]

Oh get over yourself and take your issues out on someone who cares. I said what I said and stand by it. You can THINK what you like. Terry didn't EXPLICITLY make it clear that she's Bi to Joan while spinning her tale of a youthful dalliance that sounded like experimentation while Joan was outing herself as a lesbian who "isn't going to apologize for who she is" --- and Terry also hasn't made it clear that she's Bi to Barry while having the gall to bone him in her and Joan's bed and passing Joan off as her roommate and claiming she's "old fashioned". She hasn't uttered a word about an Ex of any kind in this episode so do feel free to watch it again a few times and get YOUR facts "str8". I'm Sick of people who write out comments like they're text messaging a 12 year-old but I leave them to it.

And Ray Meagher also played Ernest Craven in Prisoner and still to this day, plays Alf Stewart in Home And Away.
