Quartet

It has often been painful to watch the introduction of new characters into the Ramsay st. milieu. Bad acting, hackneyed lines, and an odd awkwardness have dogged some newbies. I was surprised by the sudden injection of four new people into Ramsay st this year, simultaneously no less. It's been very successful with a lot of natural repartee. Two characters so far have a connection to a previous Ramsay denizens (or so it stands at the moment). Rosetta Cammeniti is Carmella's sister and turning out to be the strongest of the four new faces. Frazer is intrigueing (and very much Darcy potential). Will is so far not much more than a Frazer shadow, his Big Secret that Daddy is rich doesn't exactly suck me in. Ooooooh, will he reject Daddy's money? Probably, people are incredibly stupid on television in the name of cartoon ethics. Pepper, who's name is pronounced "Peppa" in that very Australian dropping of the "r", is cute. Her dad is The Cop, Steiger. There isn't much more to say about her, though her liveliness is an improvement on past Neighbours blonds. Oh and her mum is gay. There was even an almost-kissing scene. More on that later!
