An episode count of 50 would break the record and make it the longest series. S28 had 48 episodes and that wasn't long ago so perhaps they'll do it again given the significance. Dixie's exit storyline was great, I really liked her as a character - she was never one who I would have classed as my favourites but I definitely miss her.

Yes Tess is returning for the 30th anniversary episode, and I believe it's just a guest appearance. I doubt she will return permanently given that she only left last year and they made enough storylines for her. Josh Griffiths is also returning for a guest appearance, although I never watched it when he was in it as I think he left back in series 22. Still, I think he's a fan favourite among older watchers as he was in it from 1989 to 2007!

I like Elle too, glad that they're finally over hating her. I also love Connie though, I think she has to be my favourite character but I still quite like the tension between them. 30th anniversary I would like to see Ruth and Jay - didnt really watch it when they were in it, but I've watched past episodes and like them. Also got me thinking - Rita may be heading for a suicide exit story judging on the way things are going - I wouldn't be surprised if they killed her off as no one has died since Jeff 2 years ago.
