Franky's transformation from shy and awkward asexual being to bitchy and manipulative 'mini-Mini' has ruined her character completely. She's gone from a character the audience sympathised with and enjoyed to one who is seemingly universally disliked for the way she treats others.

What really upset me was her deleting Alo's voice-message; does she not remember that Alo was one of the few who treated her well when she started at Roundview?

I also loved Liv's episode and completely agreed when Liv accused Franky of never taking responsibility for things she had caused; mainly Grace's death. :(

Also agree with the above poster who said we need more Rich! He had two of the better episodes in this generation and his relationship with Alo is refreshing in a show where friendships seem to break down every two seconds.

Thought the finale was good. Much better than season 4. However, I feel like perhaps if they introduced Franky's mother in Franky's episode earlier this season and then spent the rest of the season redeeming her character, I would've enjoyed her character a lot more and this season a lot more.

Felt really sad for Rich. Looks like he'll be lonely for a very long time.

I disagree. I loved the second generation's party at the end and Naomi's outpouring, as I've mentioned ad nauseum. I did like the emotion of Franky meeting her mother, but I think that the third generation was a stinking pile of s**t in all. Rich's girlfriend died and, aside from the initial denial, he seemed to be the only one unaffected. The Franky character was the most frustrating in all six years, because I felt like they started too many things and then just didn't deal with them. The well-dressed drug dealer went as fast as he came, her adoption woes came almost from the blue in the second last episode, and I don't think they ever knew what they were going to do with her and Matty and Nick, which showed with the ridiculous cop-out resolution to that plot device in the finale. What ever happened to the socially awkward asexual girl with the doll that brought the group together? I liked that girl.

Give me season six back and I'll make up my own storyline thanks.

Top post. Pretty rubbish season really, with a few highlights along the way.

Oh yeah, definitely agree with all of that. Franky was the most frustrating character to watch. I still don't understand her transformation other than the fact the producers thought it'd be good viewing. I disliked how Franky-centric this entire season was.

So many potential storylines were opened up in season 5 and it's like in season 6 they completely threw them out the window. What happened to Mini's crush on Franky they were foreshadowing? Season 6 could've been so much better - changing Franky was the worst decision they made.
 
Ya'll heard they're officially, finally providing us with a solution?

No movie, but three TV movies for each generation.

Couldn't care less for Gen 3, but Gen 2 has to be be wrapped up, and Gen 1 was great, so I'd love to see a bit more of them.
Wow, interesting. Bring it on!
