It's a shame that Gemma's left already - she balances out the men in her family a bit! Surely without her, they'll just combust in a massive argument? Also, there is no WAY she'd leave Nikau behind - it's just implausible.
I'm now trying to count up women vs men in the bay to see if they thought there were too many lead female characters? Tori, Leah, Irene, Willow, Marilyn, Bella, Roo, Ziggy, Jasmine vs Alf, John, Justin, Colby, Dean, Ryder, Tane, Ari, Nikau. I think we could have kept Gemma in that sense, especially with Angelo and the new doctor arriving. What we need are more teenagers, get the show back to its roots a bit.
