The story centers around a group of people working at a radio-station. One of the girls working there is a lesbian (Libby Tanner). She marries a male friend but it's only a marriage of convenience. She marries him so so that he can stay in the country.
Later on the problems begin when Tanner falls in love with her "husband's" new girlfriend. Don't you just love soap-operas?
Below are the episodes with Tanner and her husband's girlfriend described but Tanner met a lot of other girls in earlier episodes, all whom she was seen kissing and sometimes more.

Libby Tanner & unknown


Her husband's girlfriend walks into Tanner's bedroom after having taken a shower. She has only got a towel wrapped around her and Tanner becomes really nervous and can't even look at her.
Right after the bedroom incident, the girlfriend explains to Tanner that she's aware that Tanner is attracted to her. Tanner fantasises later the same afternoon that she's sitting on a sofa and her husband's girlfriend walks into the room wearing sexy lingerie. She sits down beside her and says that she's always been attracted to her. The dream ends when they've just begun to kiss each other. Finally, the two of them become secret lovers and there's a very nice scene where they kiss each other in a kitchen.

This Australian soap-opera is without no doubt the best one I've seen in terms of what we all like to see in one, that is lesbian characters. Libby Tanner who plays the lesbian in the series meets A LOT of different women and you can see the whole story from when they first meet each other, when they become friends to when they finally become lovers. I've never seen this in any other daytime soap-opera or any other TV-series either when thinking about it..
