I think the bit that gets me about young Alex is that she always, always looked sad, whereas Molly had a sortof happy-auror about her. And she knew that her mum loved her, which Young Alex never really knew.

I would me more worried about the lack of Ray and Chris than Alex or Sam. I originally thought an Alex/Sam type character would be needed, but I guess now that Gene's remembered the truth, that wouldn't be so necessary.

I was awful with character deaths as a kid.
