Yippee, Marilyn is back and she brought a stray with her! It’s Justin Jeffries, Aden’s brother. I wonder if he’ll move into Nicole’s house?

Alf and Irene explained to some of the blow-ins who Marilyn is. Colleen is holding a grudge because Marilyn dumped Lancey – fair enough, he was an amazing catch.

Xavier wants to live with Martha. For some reason he seems to like slavery.

Miles has had enough. Enough of the tagging and chaos around the caravan park. So in a Popeyesque move, he proclaimed “I’ve had all I can stand and I can’t stand no more” and went on a stakeout to catch the criminal in the act.

Ably assisted by his assistant Aden, the two crime-fighters set off with torches and a hunger and thirst for what is right.  Tagers beware – Miles is aware!  But there was one problem with their stakeout, it’s much harder to catch imaginary people than real ones.

Rabbit led them on a merry dance and legged it when she saw Miles lumbering towards her.  Knowing an opportunity for pratfalls and slapstick when he sees it, Miles fell over and twisted his ankle.  Hilarity ensued and Aden didn’t manage to see Rabbit as she ran off.  Funny that.  Then she had the temerity to deny the incident when Miles brought it up with her the next day.  If Miles thinks she’s a real person, why doesn’t he mention her to anyone?  He had the perfect opportunity when talking to Aden about the stakeout.  Is it time Miles was locked up for his own safety?

Todd Lasance thinks Leonardo DiCaprio is bleedin’ deadly.  He wants to do films with him.

Building on the bonza idea that Drew’s Shrew had about a cross-over Home and Away/Heroes show, commenter Sorry for being a crazy dingo has given us a deadly list of Home and Away character super-powers:

1. ALF:  grows gills when he jumps in the water and swims underwater, like a fish which is kind of ironic.
2. COLLEEN:  able to speak any language at will and talk to animals, that means she can gossip with anyone or anything.
3. MILES:  the ability to eat food without ever getting full. (Sounds like a crappy superpower, but in later seasons he will discover he has a psychic conscience named Rabbit).
4. NICOLE:  the ability to attract any person at will with her beauty.
5. JAI:  the ability to be invincible.
6. IRENE: the ability to attract troubled children into her lair.
7. ANGELO: the ability to cause amnesia to others (everyone, including Martha, seems to have forgiven him for killing Jack and covering up the murder).
8. CHARLIE: the ability to change sexuality at will.
9. RUBY: the ability to screech so loud, it causes one’s ears to bleed.
10. GINA: the ability to convince people that she’s actually Tony’s sister and not his grandmother.
11. XAVIER: the same ability as Ruby.
12. MARTHA: the ability to never grieve and be constantly sexually promiscuous.
13. LIAM: the ability to be completely forgotten about only few months after being an Australian megastar.
14. ADEN: the same ability as Martha.
15. LEAH: the ability to be as sexy as Penelope Cruz but no-one in town appearing to notice.
16. RACHEL: the ability to heal, in all areas of medicine.
17. TONY: the ability of super strength.
18. ROMEO: the ability to surf REALLY REALLY WELL. (That one sucked).
19. MINK: the ability to stare at someone and kill them. What a bad ass!
20. VJ: the ability to shoot water bombs from his hands.
21. MORAG: the ability to be the best lawyer ever.
22. RABBIT: the ability to rise from the dead, be psychic and make herself invisible to all but Miles.

What do you reckon? Do you have any others to add?

Nothing major happened in episode 5000, but that didn’t matter because…Brendan’s back!  Just on holidays, mind; he’ll be going back to Ruby 2 shortly.

Liam took an overdose because he saw Nicole and Aden kissing on the beach.  People should look around before they start kissing by the Summer Bay sea.

Romeo’s sister arrived.  For a second I thought she was the imaginary girl.  She looks feisty, at any rate.  She’ll surely shake up the caravan park.

In today’s episode, Ruby got Geoff to take it to the next level with her.  What was her secret weapon?  Fairy lights.  Geoff loves them, can’t get enough of them, thinks they are dead sexy.

Nicole, in the space of about two hours, found out Liam cheated on her, broke up with him, and decided she was in love with Aden.  The girl must be working to a deadline.  Also, her hair was deadly tied up.

Aden got the ok to move on from dead Belle, so he quit his job, nicked a car, and took Nicole on a spin.  Not his brightest move.

Finally, Leah got Miles to eat something.  I miss the days when he was eating in every scene.

“Aden’s the most important person in my life, except for Liam”.

So Nicole finally seems to be coping on to the fact that she loves Aden. This love triangle has been bubbling under for a while now.  I expect her to declare her true feelings to Aden, recently bereaved Aden, and he’ll go with it. Luckily he got a letter from Belle, from beyond the grave.  No doubt she saw the future and is telling him to get on with his own life, i.e. get it on with Nicole.  Her impending death from a terminal illness caused acute powers of precognition.  I wonder if she also told him the Lotto numbers and the winner of the Melbourne cup?

Happy Australia day Summer bay!

Ooh Aden brought a moany bird to the formal and ended up with Silvery Nicole the whole night.    Only, when he was about to go in for the kill, he was reminded of Belle and went nuts.  Nicole and Liam had their “I respect you, I won’t rush you” talk for about the fifth time.  Snoooooooooooze.

Martha found an engagement ring.  It took her about twenty seconds before she copped on.  Meanwhile, across town, Hugo was staring at a picture of Martha and Jack on their wedding day for ages.  WHAT DOES HE KNOW?  IS JACK STILL ALIVE?

Suzy tried to lure Hugo back to Indonesia.  Eff off Suzy.

He’s as bad as Liam Murphy.

Mmmm, I wonder where this bullying storyline is going?  Now that Miles pulled Riley round the yard a bit, he’ll surely be up for assault.  Then he’ll be suspended from his job.  Then he’ll be vindicated and given his job back.  In the middle somewhere I think Leah will lob the gob.

Nicole and Aden had a good oul’ flirt in the sea; Belle will be thrilled.  Liam will be less thrilled.  What about that wan he was teaching guitar to?  What was the story with her hair?
