I hate that Sara is so invested in him and that he takes so much screentime. Ok, maybe he ends up with James, I am not that far aking but am tired of him too.

I do like this show. But Regina is almost a cartoon villan, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It is exhausting to watch her. At this point I hope she oversoses on morphine, though would prefer she was torn apart by wild animals.

And Anna needs to mind her own business, since she admits her own marriage is not exactly as it seems.

So many busy bodies in this show. Everyone minds the affairs of others more than their own.

I wish Harry had kept a walkin' on down the road.

Sometimes even beloved shows go on for too long. After watching all of series 4, I was on the verge of coming to that conclusion. Though still trying to hang on.

Harry's was just one storyline that didn't quite fire on all cylinders.

The only conclusion I could come to by the end, and hope this isn't seen as a spoiler, is that with Harry in the mix, it provided a bit of opportunity for the show's exploration of '50s Sydney's underground gay community social life.

But even having said that, with Henry and James being a couple, some of the same scenes of that collective social life could have been included without Harry in them. So not even that reason seems to be strong.

In the end it probably was just a traditional storyline of introducing a possible former lover into a relationship to create tension by showing a potential love triangle that has to be resolved.

For me, the entire story is about James & Harry. If they can't be together, I want each to find happiness with someone else. Harry is a sweet guy who deserves happiness.

The actress has done her job well.

No she hasn't. In fact, her acting makes the character even more predictable and unwatchable. Regina is not annoying because she's a villain. She's annoying because she's so one-note, you know every thing she's going to do and every line she's going to say before she does.
The actress's breathy talk when she's lying is ridiculous and telegraphs everything and she's sporting two expressions: bland fake smile or "I'm going to kill your cat" frown. She's terrible.

Regina is later revealed to be clinically insane and has to spend four years in a mental asylum.
So it makes sense that the character comes across that way to you.
