I saw on Ben Barrington's instagram that he has left the show and it made me feel nostalgic. Other than Chris and a recently returned Rachel, there's almost no one left from when I enjoyed watching the show for a few years starting in 2012. There is Esther, but I was never a huge fan, and I have to imagine with the way long-timers have been written out pretty consistently year after year, that her time is coming sooner than later. It's sad to think my era is truly over, but I'll always cherish that little chunk of time I had with the show that feels so special to me. Here's a toast to all my favourites: Chris, Rachel, Beth!, TK, Nicole, Vinnie, Daniel, Kylie, the triplets!, Drew, Harper, Garett, Curtis, Ali, Lucy, Cam, Vasa, Ula, and Dallas. I always had a soft spot for Phoenix too and was disheartened to learn they had killed him off. I struggled immensely with Sarah as she felt like the biggest Mary Sue, but my jaw was on the floor with her death. I have never been so shocked in my entire soap watching life, and it shocked me even more by how devastating her death was. That whole virus storyline was fantastic. Pixie's death was heartbreaking as well. Josh Gallagher's hero syndrome is one of my all time favourite soap opera storylines that I was lucky enough to watch in real time. And hey, whether you're a fan or not, I'll always think it's pretty cool that this show introduced me and the world to KJ Apa. Everytime I see him I have to smile because it's an instant little reminder of the great memories I have watching this show.
