Is it just me, or did anyone else think Nina the supply teacher seemed exactly like a mini-version of Mandy...only ten times as annoying! I've never seen anyone lie so badly and get so hysterical at the slightest provocation. It was terribly hard to feel any sympathy for the character - though I would feel extremely sorry for any kids unlucky enough to be taught by her...

Wasn't just you - I thought she was a mini Mandy as well. BTW felt that I may have missed some episodes in the past as didn't Daniel have a botox clinic? Was it shut down and I didn't know?

I'm not entirely sure what has happened to the Granger Clinic. I'm guessing when he disappeared off, it probably just slipped out of conciousness and has since been forgotten. They never really utilised it.

I didn't think the teacher was particularly well cast. She looked younger than some of the pupils and I just couldn't quite see her as a 'real' teacher.

I was also a little surprised to hear Chris say he was born in 1990. Partly because I had presumed he was older but also because I thought from the flashback episode he was born in 1988 or 1989.

Supply teacher drove me insane, hysterical was a great description. I too wondered what had become of the Granger clinic.

I agree with you that Nina was hugely annoying and managed to surpass Manday ( as she pronounces her own name ). Any teacher who is told by a nurse ( not a trained psychologist either ) how to handle students is also an idiot.
