Changed the Bay FOREVER

February 12th, 2010 by Ailsa

Ha, that was gas.  A documentary within a soap.  Who was the hard-bitten and slightly dashing journo who landed in Summer Bay in the aftermath of THE RIOT?  His boss was fairly bossy.  I thought his first cut of the doco (they must be called docos in Oz?) was grand.

Anyway, apparently the Bay is now forever changed because a few residents are pissed off due to the riots and the torching of the diner.  I dare say they’ll be over it in a few episodes. That’s the way things are done down Summer Bay way.  Or will that be the change?  That the SB time warp has been perpetually altered and now trauma recovery times, pregnancies and marriages will actually be a decent length?

Alf Stewart is Summer Bay.  That’s what the journo said.  He worked hard to get Alf’s slant on things and by Irwin did he get it.  Alf let rip, condemning flamin’ hoons and admitting that his trust in his fellow Aussies had been dashed.

Leah’s in bits too.  Ok, her fella was bashed and her workplace destroyed but she seems to have lost the will to live.  Maybe she’s just missing Veej.

    Ooh can’t wait to catch up on this ep! A doco within a soap, how postmodern.

    Nothing like a good Aussie doco alright, and yes of course thats the word they use for it there. I tried to make a doco once for Aussie tv, they didn’t commission it… *sob*

    I’d be depressed if I was Leah. She really is the kiss of death. They never let her have a big of craic with a man, the girl needs a ride.

    I found Colleen & Irene’s earnest faces while being ‘interviewed’ to be so cringey I could hardly watch!

    DS, you should have made one hunting down the elusive Madge Wilkins. They would definitely have commissioned that.

    Leah is the black widow alright. Robert Robertson is lucky he got away when he did.

    Strewth Ailsa I think you’ve got it! I’m off to Palm Beach with a handheld. Not gonna stop till I have my story.

    I liked seeing Aden get the use of Ruby’s Geoffrey snaring fairy lights today.
