In November 2006, Bodie told Herbison that the plot was "complex" and the actors had "difficulty following what's going on." Dylan and Elle's relationship was portrayed as loveless, with Dylan pining after Sky. Bodie noted that "everyone knows that Dylan and Sky still love each other, and should be together." Sky remains determined to keep the truth hidden and Elle becomes worried she will lose Dylan. Elle is a "treacherous" character who will scheme to get what she wants. Dylan decides he wants to get back together with Sky so Elle pretends that she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Elle gets Paul to help support her story which completely fools Dylan. Bodie explained that Dylan feels "there's no way he can leave Elle now, regardless of what he really wants." Dylan is "heartbroken" and is forced to tell Sky he is choosing to remain with Elle. When Dylan discovers Elle's lies he reunites with Sky and they become engaged.
