Summer Bay’s most loved

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Well, we asked and you answered.  Unsurprisingly, the most popular person in the Bay is none other than everyone’s favourite galah, Mr. Alf Stewart.

There were some surprises though.  For example, Aden and Belle made the top ten.  I’d say it was on account of their ridiness.  Belle in particular was a bit moany, no?

The no-voters were Brodie, Shelley, Rebecca, Jade, Max, Rachel, Hyde, Roxy, Saul.

Will!

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Rack off pointed us to this – Will’s coming back to the Bay!

That RTE Ten site has loads of H&A gossip on it sure.

Sally got married!

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

I think she should have had Roxy as bridesmaid.

Oi Tasha nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Young Tasha is a bit famous in Hollywood now – was she in Transformers?  Anyway that hasn’t stopped her wearing mad clothes.

P.S. And continuing her mad streak…

Too steamy

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

A scene between Liam and Martha has been deemed “too steamy” for young audiences.  You’d expect nothing less from Martha, though.

Intrepid reader Saul sent me this.  Isn’t it amazing?
I think my favourite item is the stoned crow.

Who was Rory?

home and away wedding dvdhome and away wedding dvd

Unbelieveable.  Kate Ritchie introducing the Summer Bay weddings of the past.  We had a pregnant (with Martha?) Roo running out on Frank, Alf and Ailsa slying off to become man and wife, and Angel miraculously rising from her wheelchair to walk down the aisle.  Not to mention Don and Marilyn’s nuptials, and Hayley’s ghost dad giving her away.  Hayley was always seeing ghosts.  Do yis want a lend?

The lives and loves of Martha McKenzie

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Methodical? Never.

Mysterious? Sometimes.

Misunderstood? Often

Monogamous? Rarely.

Moron? Always.

Martha.  Summer bay is a poorer place without it’s resident wild card. You can say many things about her but life was never dull with her around. It’s hard to know where to start with her.

She arrived in town with a flash when Jack dared her to streak naked along the seafront.  Alf was unimpressed but he had to get used to these kind of shenanigans from his grand daughter.  She later went onto appear in a strip club as a pole dancer which was classic H&A viewing.  She wasn’t slow in showing her assets.

Yes, it was never dull with old Martha.  She was the subject of regular kidnappings, attempted murder, car crashes, cancer, miscarriages and any kind of disaster going really.  The bay will miss it’s resident queen of drama.

She knew when to fight for what was right, such as when she saved Tasha from Mama Rose and the cult.  She also knew when to forgive and forget with Jonah’s past and Hugo’s people smuggling.  Bit of a goldfish memory.

Martha had a talent for making snap decisions.  This is what made herself and Jack such a good match.  Life changing choices like “I’m going to buy a farm”, “I’m adopting Bum bum” or “I’m leaving the bay” would be made in space of a lunch hour.  It would often be followed by the rational of “I’ve thought about it” –  for a whole five minutes, went unsaid.

What of her lovers?  Let us count the names.  I’ll start with Jack. I wonder if we can name them all?

AKA wasn’t Duncan an awful brat?

R.I.P. Vinoire Patterson

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Elijah has finally revealed his secret, and it was a double-barrelled one.  Firstly, he told Miles that Vinnie didn’t die in prison.  This was news to Miles, but not to us.  Leah knew he was alive and in hiding from the Teddy bear incident.  But Elijah also revealed that Vinnie has died recently and the reverend was the last one to see him alive.  Shocking stuff.  How will Leah reacts when she finds out the truth? Go mental for five minutes and then get over it is my prediction.  Then she’ll make her move on him.  Maybe she’ll vomit on him like she did with Roman.  What a winner.
