HANDS OFF MY SON!<o:p></o:p>
Luke’s peevish papa tells Paula to back off.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Nurse Paula Morgan’s feelings for handsome surgeon Luke Forlano have been developing lately, but will the unlucky-in-love single mum go off the idea after meeting Luke’s less-than-likeable father Salvatore. When Salvatore is admitted to Ward 17, Paula reluctantly agrees to nurse him. The pair don’t exactly hit it off, especially when Salvatore hints she is a gold digger.
“Paula’s immediately on the defence –she hasn’t even started anything official with Luke yet” Jenni says.
“Luke’s dad is a cantankerous old mechanic who is proud as punch that his son’s a surgeon and jumps to the conclusion that Paula wants to get his money. Paula has always survived on her own, so this is very out of line.”
However there might be another reason for Mr Forlano’s abrasive approach…
Also in this episode of All Saints, Terri’s concern for Mitch continues to grow. The drugs he’s taking to control the erratic behaviour caused by his brain tumour are having serious side effects, sending him into s deep depression

BYE BYE, BEN & BRON
Pass the tissues- it’s time to farewell All Saints favourites Ben and Bron
<o:p></o:p>
The rumours have circulated for months –will they stay or will they go? Now, TV WEEK can conform the devastating news. Ben and Bron are leaving All Saints!
In their final episode the gang from All Saints Western General bid a fond farewell to the couple at Mitch and Terri’s house. Ben and Bron are happy to make a fresh start, but Mitch takes the departure badly. He hates farewells and doesn’t know how he will cope with the loss of two of his friends and colleagues.
He’s not the only one, either. All Saints fans are sure to shattered. Since they arrived at ward 17 in 1998, Ben and Bron have become firm favourites with viewers. When the couple wed last month, the episode was on of the most watch in the show’s successful history.
For real life couple, Libby and Brian, playing on-screen lovers has been a dream.
“I can’t deny it –it’s been great working with Brian,” Libby said recently
“It’s just so easy. I never get nervous acting with him because I know him so well. We have so much fun together.” She and Brian have enjoyed four happy years in the show, but it’s time to take the next bold step.
“It’s very scary” Libby admits.
“There’s no security blanket.”
They plan to spend more time with their baby daughter Edie and pursue other acting opportunities. Could Hollywood beckon?
“Not just yet,” Libby says
“If I did go, it would be on the back of a great Australian film.”
Let’s dust off the photo album and look back on their time in All Saints…
