I don't know what to think now.

I was disappointed that they had the DNA test done so quickly, even though it made sense, I wanted the mystery of 'is it Dee?' to drag out a little longer. But now there is this twist. Not sure what to think. I don't know whether to like it or not.

Andrea had a very good plastic surgeon. I think Willow giving the attention she needs from a caring 'parent' will undo Andrea's plan.

It's a little disappointing. They bring Dee back and it was done much better than I thought, then they do this to her. Is it possible it can be reversed again? Otherwise what was the point? I don't like this twist.

There is more drama with a fake Dee, but more long term gain with the real Dee and Toadie's daughter, so they might have messed up going for a short dramatic storyline with this. Especially as they were able to bring back a past actress, they needed to make the most of it.

I know how Dee faked Willows DNA test but how did she fake her own? She can't have had a lock of hair fixed to the back of her head every day in case anyone asked??

Yeah, that hair thing was weird.

When she asked Mark if her hair would be fine, I thought that was suspicious and I assumed she would excuse herself and come back with a hair. But she actually apparently took it from her own head.

didn't she take a step into the room and then reappear in the door?

[–] reo1000 8 years ago

Now you mention it, that does sound right.

So she has some of Dee's hair. That means that Dee lived after going over the cliff. Is she still alive? Will this lead to the real Dee? Or is Dee dead and she kept some of her hair?

Or it's the sister's hair and Andrea had something to do with Andrea's death so she gets the Bliss fortune? But that would show up as a full match with the sister's DNA, rather than a partial match.

Either way, wouldn't they be able to tell that the hair wasn't fresh? That would mean they couldn't say that it came from the person they were testing.

I'm actually bordering on relieved about the twist: I never thought they'd be brave enough to do it but Dione coming back alive never really rang true for me. Suddenly I'm much more interested...Not sure where Andrea got the fake hair from, Cecile's a possibility especially if they only did a cursory DNA test to establish similarities.I'd quite like it if Willow sticks around and gets taken in by Toadie and Sonya after Andrea gets exposed but that could be a long way off.

[–] reo1000 8 years ago

I think I would prefer her to be the real Dee, even if her reason for not coming back sooner isn't a great one, because it allows her to come back again and even gives Toadie a teen daughter.

But a fraud brings more drama and as it really plays on the emotions and history of the show, it could be good.

Not really going to be a fan of Sonya during this though, this is going to make her saint like behaviour worse when it comes out that Dee is a fake and Sonya has been trying to prove it all along.

I agree, it would be good for Willow to stick around after. If 'Dee' goes to jail, she'll need to live somewhere and if she has no family, Toadie might ask her to stay as they would have bonded.

I think Willow will grow to love Toadie and won't want to hurt him so she'll own up

I'm not sure about the hair. That is the biggest confusion. Unless Sindi had some of Dee's hair but it wouldn't be fresh unless Dee was still alive

I'm torn about this story now. I wasn't looking forward to Dee returning but this twist makes it alot more interesting. On the other hand, it is sad that Dee is still dead. Pr disturbingly still alive so what's happening to her
