As per usual, I was left wondering what Roo was wearing.  Her dress looked like a really poor floor print.  Despite yet another fashion faux pas, it didn’t stop her telling Harvey where to get off when he asked her to be his campaign manager. Fair dinkum. She’s determined that Harvey won’t win the council elections but how can she stop him?  By getting her dad on board, Alf’s had all he can stand and can’t stand no more, he’s running against Harvey and I’m backing him to win.

Brax suggested that Heath join himself and Charlie in the city.  I thought it was a mental idea but Charlie agreed to go along with it.  Is Heath not an adult?  Surely he can make his own way in life without having Brax babysit him.

How many times was Romeo topless in that episode?  Only twice by my count. Minx is causing all kinds of problems between Romeo and Indi.  Mink reckons that Indi is stopping Romeo from doing what he really wants to do.  Mink borrowed more money from Romeo so that she could compete in a surf comp, unbeknownst to Indi.  Her competition revealed the truth to Romeo, Mink’s lost her bottle, she’s losing competitions all over the place and turning up drunk. Poor thick Romeo, Mink has him wrapped around her little finger.

Leah and Miles are no more. Both of them are pretty sad about it. Elijah is ALREADY sniffing around Leah, so Marilyn warned him off.

Marilyn also advised Dexter to apologise to April. He did so while wearing the worst suit of all time. Not only that, but April told him to get bent. She’s still annoyed with him, so she’s devised a plan to seduce some randomer at the formal. She confided in Ruby, who, unsurprisingly, thought it was a great idea.

Bianca is trying to keep Liam away from Brax, as the Rock Star still doesn’t know the truth about the accident. She won’t have to worry for too much longer, as Charlie and Brax are conspiring to leave town. Brax can’t stay around and resist The Boys.

Hahaha did yis see Roo frolicking down the beach in her red tent/dress? What a pity it was Harvey waiting for her on the beach. Why doesn’t he go on a long, long charter and leave everyone in peace?

Mr. JP was struck off the council, and wants to spend his life savings on the development. Gina rightfully made a disapproving face. Harvey reckons he can win John’s old seat.

Charlie and Brax are living it up, going to the beach during the day, etc. How is Charlie paying rent if she’s not working?

Miles found out Leah is back in town. He confronted her about her lies. He should have confronted her about being a moany oul bag while he was at it. Future babies seems to be the crux of the issue, and neither of them are backing down.

Xavier is heading off on a European tour thanks to generous John deciding that he’s willing to sell the V8.  So all Xavier needs to do is find a buyer for the car. Xav revealed that his target market is a “toolie”. What’s that you might ask, well I’m afraid I can’t tell you.  I listened back to Xavier’s definition of a toolie three times but still couldn’t understand what he said.

Sasha finally got sense and dumped Stew. While she did like him she got sick of his psycho behaviour. Her relationship motto seems to be “less bash, more pash”. Stew, being the local mentalist, didn’t take too well to his new found single status and claimed that he would hurt himself if she dumped him. He promptly jumped into the V8, which Xavier had left with keys in it, and drove off in a rage.  That won’t end well.

Brax has left the River Boys apparently. Heath offered him the chance to sell drugs to the schoolies but he was having none of it as he’s on the straight and narrow now.  Charlie was impressed with him leaving his gang behind and took him back, yet again. Charlie says she wants to head to the city with Ruby, maybe Brax will go with them?  Charlie and Brax could set up a a business doing consultancy work for criminals, helping them to pervert the course of justice.

I’m surprised to see that nobody bothered cleaning Liam’s face while he was in a coma, it’s still covered in red crap, maybe some old jam?  Bianca doesn’t seem to have noticed despite spending all day every day by his bedside.

April reckons her sister’s rediscovered her love for Liam, is it guilt or something more? April was unimpressed when she found out Bianca slept with Heath yet again. Maybe she’ll move in there now Bianca has moved on.

When Heath called over later, Bianca gave him the heave-ho, “don’t come around here no more”, she said. Heath decided to get his own back by getting locked and sleeping rough on the beach. That’ll show her.

Leah told Charlie that VJ had run away, her response, “that isn’t good”. Brilliant. She’s a genius. There’s a manhunt for Veej underway. He phoned Miles to say he can look after himself. Maybe he’ll head to the bush and be the new Crocodile Dundee.

Constable Watson suspects that Charlie is back on the Brax. Who’ll win that battle of wits?  Watson is wiley and Charlie is pretty dim, I expect the cop to cop-on to the ex-cop’s cock-up.

Liam’s in the hospital after colliding with Brax and Charlie’s cahhhh. I hope nothing happens to Xavier before the rockstar recovers, there’ll be no bed for him.

Heath and Bianca covered for Chax. Bianca is overly distraught, considering she and Liam are no longer an item.

Sid convinced Alf to hold off on the boat sale. Harvey is very anxious to close the deal. He called around to Romeo to give him a bollocking. Indi overheard and was shocked at Harvey’s extreme knobishness.

Sam admitted to driving the apple core getaway car, meaning Brax is off the hook. Charlie still resigned though. Boss Joyce was confused as to why.

Sid made a house call to Irene, who seems to have lost her hair overnight. That’s the end of her lovely new do! Roo called around and ad a blue with Sid, who ended up telling her Harvey is a fool and he still loves her. Awwww.

Home and Away is off the air now, until JANUARY 16th! How on earth will we manage?

Coleen came out with another classic line today, “what’s got you grinning like a chestnut cat?”  Brilliant.

Irene is back at work but find it hard going.  Having to listen to Coleen’s insane ramblings must make it tough.

Charlie and Bianca went on a girlie weekend away.  Bianca is some masochist, putting herself through 24 hours alone with Charlie.  Chaz is feeling guilty after putting her job at risk over Brax.  He viagra up to keep an eye on her.  They ended up together, big surprise.  Then Brax ran Liam off his bike on the way home.  Bianca didn’t deal with it too well.  Maybe there’s still something there between the two of them?

Sasha got another beating from Stew. She keeps getting bashed but she keeps coming back for more.  That poor kid needs to get over her self loathing. Sid is going to find out and then there will be some serious beatings.

Not traffic duty!

Well, there was a lot of police work in that episode. Charlie’s boss is back and not impressed. He kicked her off the case and onto traffic duty. SICKENER.

Charlie and Watson went for a spin with all of the evidence from the case. Sergeant Buxy slyly tipped off Brax, who bashed in a window and nicked the evo (is that a word?). The Boss and The Other Cops went around to Brax’s gaff and did a search, but found nothing. Haha.

April apologised to everyone except Dex. He was cross. Xavier told April it was because they hadn’t taken things to the next level. Cue fairy lights.

Sasha got a tattoo, the friggin’ eejit. Stew’s da wants him to be an architect. Hardly a viable career path for a River Boy. Sure they’re always too busy hooning around.

The net is closing in on April, albeit veeeeery slowly. Sid discovered pages missing from his prescription pad and reported it, but told Charlie he thinks Stu did it. Charlie called to Brax to find out, only to see him playing happy couples with the lawyer and a load of fruit. She later cried to Charlie, saying “it’s really over”. Brax deleted Charlie from his phone. Hopefully now they’ll be sworn enemies. Entertaining.

Sasha gave out to Stu for hitting her, so he bought her a massive ring. I foresee more bashings in her future. I also have my fingers crossed that Sid will eventually bash Stu.

Bianca and Irene think April’s behaviour is fishy. She won Dux of the school, whatever that is. Bianca was thrilled, but Dr. April just looked bamboozled. Curious.

There was a collective shout of OHHHHH in our house just now, as preteen Lily told prospective da Mark that mammy Gypsy was being bold on the beach with Liam Murphy, all-round rockstar. The only one I feel sorry for is Irene. She’s trying to recover from chemo in the midst of many dramas. At least her illness means she can get Lily to do the dishes.

Charlie was ready to ride Brax, but found his lawyer’s earring in his car. That car sees some action.

Leah is being a wagon to Miles. I hope they do break up. She’s telling him he pushed her into going ahead with the pregnancy. He did in his HOOP, Leah.
