Meh, yes, Melrose/Bea did just dissapear, with no explanation at all. There were a few dates, steak and fries in bed, sex, painting, and then there was absolutely nothing post Lamorna Wink It wouldn't have dissapointed me as much if it had been given some closure.

I'd love to see another Melrose-centric story - I loved the build-up to the revalation in the Lamorna Wink and the layers it added to his character. Melrose's backstory has such a quiet tragedy to it, which makes me love it all the more.
