I know Tea/Todd were popular for a while the last time around, and again now, but is that just because of Tea? Do people just love FL and the rest is sort of in the background? The writing for Todd/Tea the first time around was very different. Even the writing for them in this incarnation of Todd was different 3-4 months ago, more of a mutually abusive relationship, whereas now it's a lot of true love and tears.

As for

Mitch

, that might help, but

I think any story that involves Rex heavily almost automatically has to be damaged, and I'm also not sure if the show needs another heavy dose of Mitch torturing/perving on Natalie, which I thought dragged his return down the last time.

First time around, when the story was supposed to play out after the Go Red Ball in 08..

I was really looking forward to a scene where Rex has to chose to between killing his real father Mitch or saving the life of his surrogate father Bo

Bc that's why I always believed they played up their relationship, in a great capacity, under Ron Carlivati. Now, I'm too sure that's going to happen with Bo so wrapped up in the Matthew SL in London.
