Sonia outsmarted Phyllis easily enough, but then again it doesn't take much effort to get the better of someone as feeble as she is. Hope she has learnt her lesson, though I very much doubt that is the case. Joan must be sillier than I thought to double-cross someone as dangerous as Sonia. If her dog suffers for it then Joan only has herself to blame. Nice to see justice done for Rosemary. Good work Wally!

Those kids of Hazel's were so emotionally detached from their own Mother that it kinda broke my heart for Hazel. She hadn't been out of their life that long. I can tell you now that when I was their age there was no better place to be than with my own biological Mother. Not a fan of Rosemary's at all but that Rod character is a nasty piece of work. But people like Rosemary will always attract these sorts if they don't stand up for themselves just like Bea said!

That isn't a mobile/cell phone because they hadn't been invented in 1983. It's a car phone: totally different technology. They used radio to link to the phone network, the same as police radios. (Actually it had been invented, but wasn't in commercial use yet).

Mobilenet began in Australia in 1981. Car phones and brick phones had the 018 numbers.
