I Am A Swede

It's coming. He obviously can't stay in the village when everything is revealed. He's in it just as much as Celia.

I was a bit puzzled by that as well.

This was also a completely unnecessary recast. Tina had been gone so long that any relevance she had to the canvas was gone, and she was only on for a few episodes anyway. The only way this would have been worthwhile at all was if Jacqueline Pirie had reprised her role, but it appears she wasn't even approached. Everything about this was just a complete mess.

That's a sacrifice I would be perfectly willing to make. 😁

I'm not sure the idiots running the show even know who Rachel was anymore. And you're absolutely right, Belle and Sam should have been gone years ago, along with the rest of their inbred, criminal relatives. I really should get back to the old episodes again (a little thing called life has gotten in the way) so I can be reminded of why I used to love this show so much once upon a time.
