I would just like to comment briefly on the few posts above this one, regarding Martha returning to the show in recent years.I disagree that it has been nicely done and believable. I think it's been dreadful. Given all the history that Martha was tied to in the early years - Bobby's adoption, her friendship with Morag, Roo turning out badly because of Martha's death, etc... nothing has been covered at all. Very, very VERY limited details have been given. The writers have skirted around and avoided details at every opportunity.When you compare this to how all the secrets came out in the first 2 years of the show. They were RICH with detail, backstory, and explanation. Everything fitted, despite being so, so detailed. And we're not talking about stuff that was planned from the start. We're talking about stuff that was made up as it went along, but was made to fit by looking at the history of the show and USING that history. The Martha story in recent years has done the exact opposite. She has returned to the show, said "Oh, I wasn't well so I faked my death." And that's it. Nothing has been talked about.</blockquote>
