I wish Morag was real

July 2nd, 2008 by Ailsa

Morag flippin’ BATTERED that cranky Christian.  With a few well-placed words from her blackened lips, she knocked down her opponent’s whole argument. Why did Christine even bother crossing her?

Is there anything Justice Bellingham can’t do?  And was I the only one who cheered when Melody’s ma was deemed "perverse"?  Paddy O’Flaherty aka Miles (good one Alf) must have been hella relieved.

On another note, Jack is full of truisms these days; today he said the SBPD were "stupid enough" to take him back.  You ain’t wrong there, bucko.

The Ric/Matilda/Viv/Noel/whatever you’re having yourself storyline is wearing a bit thin.  Hopefully that’s the last we see of Viv.

A momentous day in Summer Bay

July 1st, 2008 by Flathead

Ric managed to get out of fight club with his life intact after Jack used his non cop powers to "arrest" Noel. Fitzy and Jack back in harness? The local crime lords must be quaking in their boots.

All is now well in the world of Ric and Matilda, or is it? There’s just the small matter of Viv and the unborn baby. For a woman who seemed to know exactly what she wanted a few months back, Ric’s manhood, she now seems to have lost the ability to make any decisions.

What of Jack? Is it all falling into place now? Back with Martha, almost back in a blue uniform and engaged, for the third time in little over a year. Himself and Martha are mental. How long will their marriage last this time? Longer than the last one? In summer bay, life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The creepiest thing I’ve come across in a while

The Home and Away theme song sung as a tortured dirge.  It features a picture of Alf as a prisoner of war or some such.

Grieving a la Summer Bay

June 26th, 2008 by Ailsa

Well.  I’d say Tony would have forgotten all about Beth’s death-anniversary were it not for Matilda.  It must be hard for him to keep track though; since his wife’s deathly hand was seen dangling out of a car window, Tony’s hopped up on around three or four of Summer Bay’s finest.  I’d say he would have had a go of Martha had she not been kind-of-family.  Not to mention the fact that he is now engaged, a mere twelve months later.

Leah is busy coping with her own little tragedy.  However, is it my imagination or does she have more pep in her step since Dreary Dan departed?

Coleen protests her innocence

"I’ve never sent a false pretext in my life" was what Coleen said to Betty in the Diner as they spied on Morag.

Martha’s electric career and other weirdness

June 23rd, 2008 by Ailsa

Why did Martha give up plumbing being an electrician? I would imagine it’s a fairly lucrative career in a town without any tradesmen. Certainly much more lucrative than working behind a bar or around a pole.

Jazz seems to be collecting teenage friends. First Mattie, now Nicole. Still, you can hardly blame her when the alternative is Leah.

Morag is a total hellraiser these days, not to mention a rollercoaster of emotion. She gave Colleen a fine tongue-whipping before retreating to her lair to cry her dragon tears.

Irene must be minted at this stage. Every second meal served up in Summer Bay seems to be at the diner. Thank goodness it reopened or there would have been a famine.

Did you hear Kane is coming back? Perhaps he and Morag could have an anger-off.

Question

Why are Matilda and Jazz friends?

Dani’s Emmi

Tammin Sursok is up for an Emmy.  And here’s me thinking Dani wanted to be a writer.

Tasha Andrews

June 8th, 2008 by Flathead

Do you remember when Tasha used to be a mermaid? She was like Daryl Hanah in Splash . Young Max found her on the beech in the nip and she hopped into the water and swam off after transforming herself into a half-woman half-cod hybrid. Max wished that Alf still had his bait shop so that he could try to entice Tash with a tasty worm or a fly but alas the shop was closed.

Fortunately for Max(imilian), Tasha sprained her ankle and he was able to catch her on the rocks before she could shape shift. Just as max was about to batter her and apply the tartar sauce, Flynn turned up and brought her to the hospital. Max was pissed off as it meant that he went hungry. They asked her questions in many languages and she started to speak in a nonsense language called pig latin. Irene got through to her somehow and she went to live with her, like all strays do in Summer Bay.

Despite her sometimes crap hair and often terrible acting, Tasha got loads of dramatic storylines . She had a habit of going for naked runs in the bush at nighttime which reminds me of the "nudie Father Jack" scene in Father Ted. She also tried to smother Kane, if only she’d succeeded, and had a handgun which her parents left her. This was later used by "crook kid" Duncan Stewart , to blackmail Tasha, Kim Hyde and Robbie for money.

It was then revealed that Tasha was Angie Russell’s daughter. They reckoned that the resemblance is uncanny. I don’t see it myself.

Tasha started to go out with Summer Bay’s very own inventor, actor and renaissance man, Robbie Hunter . This all went well until Tasha got involved with Mama Rose and the believers. They like a cult down Summer Bay way and this was one of the best storylines in recent years. Tasha moved in with the cult despite the fact that Robbie, Martha, Irene and everyone else in the bay told her not to. It went pear shaped when Tasha became pregnant after Mama Rose drugged her and she was "attacked". Tasha and Robbie eventually left the bay to go and live in America with Josie, Tasha’s aunt. Robbie is now using his inventing skills to head up a NASA team planning a trip to Mars. Tasha has set up her very own cult stateside and now only answers to the name "Flower mamma".

Euro 2008 hates Summer Bay

June 6th, 2008 by Ailsa

Well boys and girls, just because Euro 2008 is on next week, we have to suffer.
Nevermind that some of us aren’t interested, nevermind that some of us hate football and think it is for losers, Home and Away is off for the week.  God bless Youtube, wha’?
