Offspring Live: Who will Nina lose? 7:52pm: Of course Ten could be giving us a bum steer with those promos, after all, they have been misleading in the past (Exhibit A: Eloise). Poll: Who would you most like to give a free-from-death pass to? Jimmy Billie Patrick Geraldine Mick Martin Zara Total votes: 5. 7:48pm: Patrick (cont.) In all seriousness, Patrick has been the hunk of the series which is a necessary role to fill, but more than that, he has been somewhat of a moral centre. He was there supporting Eloise when he had every reason not to, he provided a listening ear and a couch to sleep on for Martin, and is frequently helping steer Nina in the right direction when her crazy starts to peak. He is generally the voice of reason, and easy on the eyes too. Of course his back story is far from upbeat, we met his father this season, Bad Boy Daddy, and got an insight in to how miserable growing up in the same house as that man could be, and we also saw the pain he still suffers from the death of his first baby. But, like Jimmy, life is pretty good. He and Nina have been sticking it out at counselling and making good headway - he even proposed marriage. The baby is almost due and so far things look to be on the up and up. Highlight of the season: It's wrong to mention the bear skin again isn't it? How about that towel scene then? No? Ok, then I have to say the scene where he let Nina sleep all night and instead acted as the Proudman support service. One by one they all came knocking on his door - and I mean ALL of them, Philip, Geraldine, Mick, Jimmy, Billie, even Darcy via Skype - and he calmly and patiently dealt with their crises. Did I mention he would be a great loss to the show? Scratch that, a HUGE loss to the show. Patrick (Matthew Le Nevez). 7:41pm: Patrick Ahhhh, this one's a toughie, how do you put into words what Patrick brings to the series? How about I show you instead: That's how you do it. 7:35pm: Billie There's no two ways about it: Nina's sister has had a shocker of a season. It has been one of many ups and down, but sadly, a lot more downs than ups. It started off well enough, she was moving beyond her and Mick's fertility troubles and instead focusing on her career. She convinced her father Darcy to sell her the family real estate business and all was looking good. Unfortunately it didn't take long for it to fall apart, losing the business to a rival. Soon she had no baby, no career and it seem every episode heaped a new humiliation, not least admitting to her father that she lost his business and later being caught out desperately spying on her old workplace. She hit rock bottom this series, having a mistaken one night stand with an ex-lover, which has now put her marriage in jeopardy. In my mind Billie is the second main character of the show and therefore would be a great loss next season, besides we can always rely on her to provide us with a zinger of a line. She really deserves some good times and I hope they are coming her way. Highlight of the season: Standing up to Darcy, forcing him to believe in her potential. (Do you have a different highlight? Let us know in the comments, located on the right hand side of the screen) Billie Proudman (Kat Stewart). 7:27pm: Ten has teasingly told us that Nina will be losing one of her nearest and dearest, namely, either her brother Jimmy, sister Billie or partner Patrick. All horrible options. Let's take a look at what we stand to lose, and what each of them has to live for. Nina's brother Jimmy brings a youthful energy to the show - you can always rely on him to bring the hijinks and lighten the mood. This season has been one of growth for Jimmy. For starters, he became a stay-at-home dad after he and Zara brought their baby Alfie home. While he was reluctant to fully commit to Zara, or rather, reluctant to admit he's ready to fully commit, he had no hesitation in supporting her decision to be a more involved parent, even if this meant he had to find a job. This development saw him become as businessman, opening his own taqueria. Right now for Jimmy life is pretty good - Alfie is doing well, the business is doing well and he and Zara are (so far) successfully exploring an open relationship. Highlight of the season: showcasing a variety of hair style options to Billie during his job interview. Nina's brother Jimmy (Richard Davies). 5:55pm: It's time to 'fess up: Poll: How are you feeling about tonight's episode? Scared Excited Emotional wreck All the above Total votes: 107.
