    This is EPIC news!!

    While it sucks Todd Lasance won’t be back all the other fab cast will be it looks like plus newbies Sonia Todd (great in both McLeods and Home and Away), Jessica Napier (from McLeods and Sea Patrol, also the Alice if I remember) and John Howard (who was my fave in All Saints as Cranky Frank).

    Now I didnt know how this series was going to get better but it looks like it sure has!!
