“Even though she still at the moment works in the office until she’s accused, and found of having, Bear’s wallet in her bag – in which case Jai sacks her.
“She’s thinking, ‘Great, she’s out of my hair, our of my workplace’. And the next thing she’s got to do is get her out of my son’s life’.”
“She knows that Jamie likes Dawn, but like his other choices in women, she’s probably not the best one for her son.
“Andrea wasn’t completely au fait, Belle was a bit of a nightmare, and now Dawn is somebody that Kim will not entertain in her life.”
“[Gabby] has got to build up a trust, she’s got to play the game Kim’s way, she has got to be able to manipulate Gabby, but she sees a lot of potential in her, while Gabby is desperate to be accepted after her own mother Bernice abandoned her.”

“As they adapt to being new parents it will be a real test, pushing them to the limit and Tracy will take the lion’s share.
“It will also put a spotlight on Nate and Cain. Will they finally bury the hatchet? There’s some really emotional stuff.
