Could Romeo’s business be back on track? Harvey is trying to make amends for his earlier mistakes and pay Romeo back for saving his life. Alf can see that it makes sense as a business idea, but Romeo seems more circumspect. I reckon Harvey’s near death experience has made him turn over a new leaf. If Roo agrees to a date then we’ll know for sure that he’s on the straight and narrow as she always seems to have good judgment.

Sid gave Sasha the mother of all bollockings. She was, as he said irresponsible, but it seemed she felt bad enough about it already so maybe Sid could have timed things better. Dex and Indi were really helpful and friendly when little Felix was brought home from the hospital. It’s about time Sasha got the chip off her shoulder and started to appreciate the effort all of the Walkers are making for her and Felix. Sasha lost it with Sid when he couldn’t convince Felix’s dad to part with his son after a five-minute chat which was a bit unfair on poor Sid.

The diner is all changed now. Roo & Marilyn are running it while Leah and Irene are off work. Roo put her neck on the line for Sasha in the diner. I hope that she doesn’t live to regret it. Roo has a habit of adopting a younger protege, see Nicole and Indi in the past. Is there anything that Roo can’t do?

It seems the Bay, just like real life Dublin, is suffering from extreme weather conditions. That’s some coincidence considering that while the downpour was happening yesterday, I thought what we need now is Alf and the emergency rescue team in the orange suits.

Gawd save Ireland, Irene is having it tough. The cancer needs to be operated on but she’s told Leah and she’s ready to tell everybody about her cancer. That will be a weight off April’s young shoulders who was carrying the burden on her own.

Indi gets a lot of slagging on this blog for her insane outfits but her vest with the cat on it today was lovely on her. Fairplay, for once.

Hahaha the face on Sid at the end of that episode when he saw Sasha and Roo having a chat. He’s in trouble now.

Alf and Romeo removed the mooring after the Council said they couldn’t have it. Alf denied all knowledge of it when Harvey called over without any buttons on his shirt. However, Roo’s article outlining Alf’s attachment to the mooring was published in the Coastal News that very day. That’s two more chaps in trouble.

Gina expelled Casey because she was cross with Xavier. When Xave quit on the farm and came home, she tried to take back the expulsion. Casey was having none of it. Eff school, he said.

Indi managed to get over herself and talk to her ma, for Dexter’s sake.  Very progressive of her.  What kind of an accent does Jodi have anyway?  Roo is having problems accepting second best in Sid’s priority list and kicked him to the curb.  Roo doesn’t have much luck in love by all accounts.

Alf is a big cricket legend apparently.  No doubt he was the inspiration for Shane Warne and the Aussie team.

I felt a bit sorry seeing Liam ask Romeo for a job.  He must be desperate.  It’s not that long since Romeo was working for Liam, fixing up his gaff.  How the tables have turned. He is being very helpful and sympathetic to Bianca, she let him stay over.  In fairness, why are herself and April still living with Irene?  It’s about as logical as Charlie and Ruby still living with Leah.

So Leah is knocked up. This is bad news for her for a number of reasons:

• She will now be super-duper flustered for at least nine months / however long a pregnancy lasts in Summer Bay
• The child will probably be as hungry as its father, which means she’ll be bankrupt before the bub is one
• Veej will no doubt have a mickey fit

Romeo’s boat got trashed, so he went off half-cocked, accusing Harvey,a fellow entrepreneur from a neighbouring berth, of doing it in an attempt to sabotage his business. He even phoned the cops. However, it turned out one of the boys at Elijah’s shelter did the nicking. Cue shame-faced Romeo trying to make it up with Harvey. Too late, Smith, for Harvey already reported the Blaxland for not having a mooring licence. But surely Alf can use his influence with the council to get one? No?

Sid and Roo and Indi and Dexter are all best buds now, after doing a bit of farm maintenance. Except this happy family to be rocked by the arrival of Sid’s ex, who Dex invited over.

Dean had an eventful episode. Not only did he run over Bianca, but he fought with Liam, was dobbed in as a serial sex offender by his sister and got arrested by the cops. Xavier should have taken the opportunity to say “I told you so” to his family.  Not often he’s proved right.

Alf tricked Roo and Marilyn in to making dinner. Good trick Alf.  They made loads so he won’t have to do any cooking for a week.  Miles will be happy, expect more scenes where he’s stuffing his face.

Romeo set up his romantic cruise business with some fancy cutlery and lights but made the classic Summer Bay mistake of telling Coleen how well things were going.  Cue a disaster where the borrowed silver was robbed and the boat wrecked. He should have kept his mouth shut.

…but we are doubtful that Heath was the one who “attacked” Bianca. It’ll be some random River Boy who can be easily written off, no?

Also, a few people have been in touch to say Alf is back. Sing hallelujah. Does he has long hair and tattoos after his travels?

Alf is going to be commemorated in wax. Unfortunately you have to go as far as Sydney to get a look at him.

Also, Esther Anderson aka Charlie says her ma fancies Brax.  Ooh-er. Also, she was born in Geelong.

Given the way Marilyn was smothering Nicole she must have felt like saying “I’m on maternity, get me out of here!” She had enough of Marilyn’s schedule and girl’s day in, it was all getting too much. So when Angelo called over to see how she was doing, she took the opportunity to bail. Out of there like she stole something.

The two mates went down to the pier to see Romeo cleaning Alf’s boat. They begged the young layabout to let them on board and take the Blaxland out for a cruise. He relented, theft of property is no big deal when you have an ex YCPD Sergeant on board.

Angelo suggested Romeo start taking the boat out for charter cruises, like Hugo used to do. Maybe Romeo will get into people smuggling too. It would probably be more profitable that his surf school which isn’t going too well so far. He didn’t seem too impressed when the redhead boy turned up for his first lesson. IS he trying to say redheads can’t surf?

Not since the hazy, lazy, crazy days of Johnny and Rocco has the Bay seen a band of boys so goddamn bad.  These hombres are really shaking up the town. They must have heard that Alf was off globetrotting, and in they swooped. Colleen has the measure of them, shrieking “Hooligans” every chance she gets.

Been spending most my life, living in a Gangsta’s Paradise.  So says Casey, the newest addition to Summer Bay High. He’s already mates with Romeo, who no doubt will be easily led astray. I’m just waiting for Coolio to show up.

Elijah’s on the way back from “Africa”. He’s got news. Colleen’s convinced Leah he’s coming back to sweep her off her feet. I bet he’s got a new sheila.
