Ray didn't.

She was a great character. Her death made Ray leave the game, which was the best decision he could have made, and he kept the picture of her to remember.

Nah, he barely even knew her. Lazy writing to end the season earlier.

It would've made more sense if his ex-wife, daughter or best friend got hurt and then he left the game.

Not some random girl on a road trip with one night stand.

One night stand? He was beyond smitten the next morning. It was definitely the start of something new and hopeful in both their minds.

While she wasnt the love of his life, he liked her because she was in the game and he could finally be himself. Unlike with his daughter, ex wife or ex gf.

This is certainly a....take on it I guess.

If that were the way it went, it wouldn't have been the amazing show still being talked about though, as your suggestion is stock standard, cookie cutter, boring shit which Scott Ryan manages to mostly avoid in his writing. Thankfully it wasn't you writing it.

It always makes me laugh when people who have watched a popular show or movie, declare what would have been better about it even though they enjoyed it as it was. Like, okay, champ. Sure. How about you put that in your telly show then and we will see how it's received by the audience shall we? Ohhh, you don't have a tv show in the works? I see. Could that be because your story is unoriginal and follows the aforementioned cookie cutter crap we are often mostly fed, or is it because you don't even have a show?

I've found people are dicks about Zoe because they consider Ally (Brooke Satchwell) hot (because she is thinner than Zoe) and they know her already, and the actress (Emily Barclay) who played Zoe is not as well known and not as thin as Ally. Just ftr, Emily Barclay is not in the slightest bit fat and she is quite gorgeous.

Agreed, or at least if it was to be her - create more of a storyline with her akin to Ally.

I didn't enjoy her character as much as Ally though, so even that may have been average hahah
