Thank you to all who've read and reviewed so far. Wow, I wasn't expecting to get as many reviews as I did. Anyway SallyandCallum, since you've been asking, here's my slagging off of Sally Armstrong. Or as I call her...

Sally Who?

Welcome to the first of many 'what the fuck was the point of them' character chapters. Granted, Sally Armstrong could have been a great character if she'd just had one tiny, little thing...

A GOOD STORYLINE!

For the love of god, why on earth did they bother? This probably won't even fill a whole page, I can think of soooooooooo little to write about this minor character! I wouldn't mind, but she even came in with that OH SO BORING cliché backstory of wanting a job that got her heart rate racing and something that would give her a real challenge in life.

YAWN!

HAVE YOU WRITERS GOT ABSOLUTELY NO IMAGINATION? HOW MANY TIMES, IN TWENTY FIVE YEARS WAS THAT USED?

TOO MANY!

So, Sally, we'll begin by your first day. And being in an episode entitled "Cop Killer" you just know one of the Sun Hill boys or girls in blue is doomed. The said unfortunate was Billy Rowan; your pairing for the day Sally, and fellow probationer. Who puts two probationers together anyway? Since when do two inexperienced coppers together on their FIRST DAY? Only the brainless knobs from the joke of a station that is Sun Hill. HA! You ended up seeing Billy Rowan die after his throat was slit by a vengeful father. See what happens when you throw two inexperienced officers together AND right into the deep end on their first day. It was something to leave you traumatized. For one more episode at least.

Poor Billy Rowan. Funny thing is, he's more memorable than you are Sally. Sorry.

Lets move on to your personality; aw, Sal, what a flattering description! You're an optimistic type of woman, very lively, happy to help and muck in, and enjoy a good laugh as much as the next copper. You worked to live and didn't live to work. With the pay of £30k and guys in uniform, you quickly realised there were many perks to being a copper (aw, I wonder what the main attraction was). You somehow, magically, instantaneously knew that this was you calling, the career for you. That's funny – I may be wrong, but that description of you also sounds awfully familiar...

CAN YOU NOT EVEN THINK UP DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES FOR OFFICERS? CALL YOURSELVES WRITERS? HA! YOU WRITE CHARACTERS WITH ALL THE PERSONALITY OF A GOLDFISH!

No wonder it turned into dullsville! Everyone was exactly the same, right down to their personality! All YOU WERE LOVE was a clone of Kerry Young, without the slapper tendencies! Though you'd never know what would have happened HAD you not have mysteriously disappeared along with some others in the winter of 2009. Just the same, right down to your constant disobeyal of senior officers! Remember jumping into the water to save someone? Kerry did that, too.

Passionate about policing, sometimes to the point of recklessness (wow, at last a new way to describe and officer), your excitable nature meant that you often took cases to heart and got tempted to push the boundaries (again. What originality from the genius minds of the imaginative writers). Your luck didn't exactly improve, did it Sal? You lost another colleague and friend in Emma Keane – which then led to you putting your trust in the worst one at Sun Hill – STONE COLD In the past, Stone Cold covered up you mistakes and tacitly approved some of your more maverick acts, but you never entirely comfortable with being in his debt. You silly bitch. He got you off a charge of drink driving and you think he was doing that from the goodness of his heart? HA! You think I call him Stone Cold for nothing? I bet you were glad to escape his clutches when you mysteriously disappeared along with some others in the winter of 2009. Where did you go, witness protection to get away from him?

What an utter waste of a character, let down by imaginative writers and creators. Sigh.
