Jackie Brygel of TV Week named Leah and Vinnie as one of soap's "Odd Couples". She said "Vinnie was the local goofball working as a stripper. Leah was the responsible Greek girl. They lived together as flatmates and she found herself falling for his quirkiness." An Inside Soap reporter branded Vinnie's return from the dead dressed as a giant teddy bear a "bonkers - but nonetheless brilliant" storyline.
