Does the show need an injection of life, if so, then what?

[JamesC10]

I don’t know where to post this but Kate Ritchie said it’s likely Sally will never return to the show.

She stated “The show is doing so well, it doesn't need Sally anymore," she said, adding that the show has "moved on" and that Sally has a "nice life somewhere".

She said she might come back "if asked", but she soon talked herself out of it, saying: "That's a chapter of my life that's done”.

That's fair.  She's been off nearly as long as she was on.  Now Irene's gone, there's only two characters currently on the show when Sally left in 2008 and another two that she knows.

The only way I could see it happening is to introduce Pippa Jr (now 24/25) as a full time character but the show has too many 20something girls.

I think if she did go back it’d be for something for Ray/Alf.

As for Sally living a nice life somewhere, it’s likely she’s now grieving her daughter.

Thanks for sharing this, James. I don't think she said anything surprising, despite the hysterical way this article is written. If anybody is feeling "devastated" or "upset" over this non-news, they need to give their head a wobble. Kate seems to be doing fine again, and she seems to be doing more acting now. It wouldn't surprise me if they brought her back to wave Alf off, but it'd also hammer home the point that Sally no longer belongs in Summer Bay.

That all depends on what timeline you're following... maybe Sally has been hanging around with Marilyn's unhinged daughter and visits Martha on her mysterious property.
