Hey, that could be where Hanners, Problem-solver comes in! She's still in contact with Faye as best we know, and maybe she misses Faye being around so much. I think she'd talk to Faye this time instead of Dora, though, because Faye's the one who fucked up and broke basically the only rule in CoD's handbook. If Faye's up to it, I think Dora would be amenable to a mending of fences. Not a re-hiring, because duh, but that's not why she's there! Faye's got a job, which we would get to see her try to explain in public without outing an illegal underground fighting ring

ReindeerFlotilla:
I'd prefer it if the Dora/Faye thing wasn't resolved just yet. Not saying that it needs to drag on as long as the Dora/Sven thing, but I think there's room for growth.

Storywise, Faye's drinking problem may be "resolved" but considering that the idea that she has a problem has been percolating for 2000+ strips, I wouldn't put past Jeph to call it less than finished. (Also, of course, once you have a drinking problem, you always have a drinking problem).

Dora's had some growth with Sven, but the Faye thing, as much as Tai gave her shit and tried to make it out to be the same, is different. Faye did betray her trust. While there may be a case for a certain artistic inconsistency in the way drinking at Coffee of Doom has been handled, you can still boil it down thus:

In all cases where Dora was aware of alcohol consumption by her staff, Dora specifically approved of it. In the case that got Faye fired, Dora specifically forbid it, and Faye did it anyway. This isn't laying blame. That's over and done. But Dora's best friend did something very bad, and ALL Dora did was fire her.

I think we still need to see Faye grow a bit because this one is on her. Dora could forgive her as a form of taking the high road, but I've known too many alcoholics. It's best for your own sanity to let them get straight on their terms when they've breached a trust.

Kugai:
I'm still waiting for Dora and Faye to finally come together for the long awaited conversation.

Reindeer, like I said, if Hanners WERE to try and fix things between her friend and her boss, she'd need to talk to Faye. Faye needs to be the one to reach out. The question of whether Faye is WILLING to reach out can only be answered by Jeph, but remember, there wasn't much time in comic between Dora's annulling her sibling relation and her firing Faye for rightful reasons. You say it maybe shouldn't stretch as long as the Dora/Sven arc, but that still would mean they begin mending bridges in the next two weeks.

It wouldn't be a quick fix, but it does need to happen, in my opinion. Resolution could be a long road, but I'm anxious to see the sights along the way.

Definitely don't see Marten moving to Canada and abandoning Faye, Dora and Hanners for the sake of Claire. He did that once, remember, and I believe he assured Faye at some point that he'd never do it again.

electromgneticDstroyosaur:
So, Bubbles seems to have a, erm, utilitarian mindset about her.  I want to hear about her obvious military past now.
