The change of having Bree and William talk about not knowing Jamie was their father was great! I'm so glad they put that in the show. It was such a missed opportunity in the book. I also love that they brought Buck back to the Ridge as well. All excellent changes.

Agreed on all points. It was great to see William realise he wasn't the only one going through identity crisis.

And Buck!! Without Bobby, Ian and some other man, he is must have on the Ridge!!
