[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 204302, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 276-280[/SIZE][/U] Rebecca Fisher has arrived on the scene. Just in time to learn she’s got a half sister. My memory of her is as being a little bland and forgettable. However, I really like what I’ve seen so far. She’s quite unlike Alan, and is perhaps a more clearly defined combination of qualities that Barbara and Donald have. She’s very likeable. And there’s something very ordinary and un-soapy about her, despite being pretty and in the midst of much drama. Even her arrival threw the cat amongst the pigeons when Bobby invited her to be the surprise guest at the dinner she threw for Donald: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/RiQq2q.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/KNmbq5.jpg[/IMG] Thinking Bobby’s blown the secret he hasn’t got round to telling Rebecca, he offloads to Ailsa at the diner in a scene that distractingly had Scott and Charlene Robinson’s wedding song playing in the background: Naturally, the secret is soon blown by Lance and Martin. Rebecca disappears and hides in a caravan where she meet-cutes Steven. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/xOsWoO.jpg[/IMG] The two quickly become something of an item, and I must say they look good together. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/SaX3cv.jpg[/IMG] The relationship between Bobby and Rebecca is proving interesting. They’re chalk and cheese, but their connection feels genuine. Even before Rebecca knew who she was, she was keen to get to know her because of Bobby and Alan’s connection. Once the lid is blown, she’s more determined than ever to spend time with Bobby, despite Donald’s eagerness for her to practice her music: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/qfrhlA.jpg[/IMG] There’s a really nice bonding scene which leads to Rebecca teaching Bobby some piano: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/CLXa4f.jpg[/IMG] Rebecca enjoying her holiday too much is a source of concern for Donald, which brings out the authoritative father in him and the rebellious daughter in Rebecca: He’s even gone so far as to collude with Celia to keep Rebecca occupied. Rebecca is very accepting of Bobby, and also of Donald and Morag’s past. She even visits Morag to let her know she’s OK with it and gets an invitation in return, leading Donald to put his foot down again: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/a3DV31.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/kOwmX7.jpg[/IMG] Donald reverting to the heavy-handed parent gives us the standout scene from these five episodes. Once again, the ghost of Alan Fisher informs the moment: It’s a truly beautiful scene and a captivating moment from Norman Coburn who says nothing but tells us everything. Rebecca reading takes fifty seconds which is one single shot, starting wide, framing both characters. While Mike Perjanik’s haunting piano piece heavily used during Alan’s tenure plays, the camera zooms very slowly, moving gently into a tight close up of Donald as Norman Coburn wonderfully expresses Donald’s obvious discomfiture.
