Liam’s jam/biro scars seemed to clear up between the first scene and the car auction. He got a bit of a land when Bianca tried to get him to buy a family car for when they start a family in the future.Liam isn’t ready to put his rock star past behind and bought another bike, much to Bianca’s chagrin.

April is organising a list of potential take it to the next level dudes. She met a bloke called Jonathan at the auction, who asked her to go to the formal with him. Could he be the one? Apparently not, she told him she’s not ready to move on from Dex yet. It’s between Xavier and Heath at the minute. Bianca is not impressed with her hanging around with Heath. Given how she’s going through a rebellious phase I fear she’ll opt for the bad boy. This good girl gone bad storyline reminds me of when Jade went off the rails and organised a sit in.

Marilyn organised a girly lunch for Irene with Colleen and Roo. Irene thanked the girls for standing by her during her cancer trials. What did she expect them to say, “I hear you’re sick so stay out of our way until you’re better”? They decided to invoke the dart arts by doing a tarot card reading. Unsurprisingly it predicted that somebody will die. Who could it be? Colleen lost the plot and Irene looked worried, so worried that she decided to make a will.

Harvey is continuing to spread rumours about John Palmer and his corrupt ways. Roo got involved and asked him to stop, to no avail. Rumours tend to get believed in small towns like the bay so John’s in strife with the council now, they want him to resign. Harvey needs stopping asap.

Miles is heading for a fall. He seems to think himself and Leah are headed for a reconciliation but Leah has other ideas and lied to him on the phone. To top it all, Colleen told him that he was looking a bit fat. I’m surprised how thin he is considering he stuffs his face in most scenes.

Sash is in hospital with her infection. Stu had a showdown with Sid, who got a taste of his anger. The doc won’t let him anywhere near Sasha now. But he got the impression that Stu convinced her to get the tattoo, which isn’t true and she didn’t set her Dad straight, future conflict alert. Xavier seems happy enough to hang around the hospital, waiting for her condition to improve. Isn’t he a bit old for Sasha, she’s only 15.

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.

While Romeo was rescuing Harvey in the midst of the storm, only one of them got stage instructions on their script.  Harvey spoke in normal tones about his boat sinking while Romeo shouted to be heard over the roar of the wind.  I suppose it’s not that important when you have a compound fracture with bones sticking out of your leg. Romeo must be quite precious about his hair, he didn’t bother putting up his hood despite the weather. He did end up as quite the hero in this episode.

Leah got some pregnancy pains.  Why do this kind of thing always happen at times of crisis in the Bay? There are echoes of Angel giving birth in a car in the middle of a storm.

Coleen howling around the school was quite entertaining.  It sounded like she was auditioning for a part as the hunchback of notre dame.  Bianca came a cropper when the roof collapsed. I predict a life threatening condition which will clear up by the end of the week.

I’ll miss Nicole and Angelo.  Don’t think I can say the same for baby George as I haven’t had as much time to get to know him.  They had some good storylines in fairness.  What about the time Nicole trying it on with holy Geoff? Who can forget the time that Angelo shot his colleague Jack?  How we laughed.

The bay will be a duller place without them.  At least we have Marilyn to keep us amused.  Child kidnapping isn’t a bad way to keep the town talking.  Luckily for her, Nic isn’t pressing charges so she got away with that one.

Is Roo some kind of world class problem solver?  She’s a one woman A-team.  She defused the kidnapping situation and made sure George got back to Nicole in one piece.  I wonder if part of her wouldn’t have minded to see Marilyn locked up, leaving a clear path to Sid.  Given her mental state and all of the flirtatious texting going on, I think the doctor would be on for that scenario too.

Well it’s finally happened, Web 2.0 has hit the bay.  Again.  Last week it was Gina and Facebook.  This time it’s Palmer and Twitter, as prompted by Roo.  He’s keeping all 20 of his followers riveted with updates from behind the scenes at the surf carnival.  All went well until Xavier robbed his iPhone to tweet some updates.  Mangrove River got the hump when Xavier, as John, called them creampuffs and criminals. There will be some strife at the carnival itself, no doubt about that.

Colleen and Mick McCarthy are big fans of the Webinet and are forever poking each other.  It would be great if Colleen started a twitter account that we could follow in real life.  That would be priceless.

Back in RL, Miles and Leah had a wee kiss.  So cute.  Mwah.

Coleen fell asleep in the caravan park but woke up miles away by the coast. As Coleen put it “you don’t have to be an Eisenstein to figure out who did it”. She picked a stupid fight when she made enemies with the river boys and called the cops on them.  Who knows what they’ll do next? Shoot her ‘van into orbit?

Stupid Angelo has decided to go into business with the Braxton boys.  They offered him cheap booze and he’s taking them up on the offer as his tapas bar is struggling.  I don’t understand how this will help though as he’s still lacking any customers, despite a better margin on his booze.  For an ex cop, he’s pretty thick, but the standards for the YCPD were never pretty high.  Charlie didn’t look impressed when she found out that her ex was selling stolen booze in his joint.  There may be trouble ahead.

Oh dear, oh dear. Penn is rapidly losing the plot.  First he confessed to Coleen that he framed her for the thefts in the caravan park and got her thrown in prison.  Then he told John Palmer that he wanted a shot of Gina.  Not content with that, he broke in Myles’s gaff again and trashed the place again.  He damaged a photo of Myles, Rabbit and his dead wife.  Don’t think Milco will be too happy with that.  I predict a showdown.

Bash! Take that Penn!  It’s about time somebody took a swing at Penn, the latest psycho to arrive in the Bay. He’s been nothing but trouble for the locals what with him framing Coleen and then making Nic think she might have HIV.  He’s one bad dude.

But he messed with the wrong bloke when he told Alf the old man to stay out of his way and be careful who he calls a liar.  Penn messed with the wrong Vietnam vet and Alf knocked his block off.  Now Penn’s in hospital and Dr. Sid has to try and save his life.  I don’t think I’d bother if I were him.

Mohamed Ali, Chris Eubank and Barry McGuigan are all getting a flight down under as they heard about the impending grudge match between Tony and John Palmer.  It’s a no holds barred  bitter bashathon.  Somebody’s going down, way down.  This is going to be brutal…

Only it wasn’t.  In reality the fight consisted of two middle aged men prancing around the ring, trash talking but not actually fighting.  Poor Coleen got bored being the referee, waiting for the fight to start and walked away.  The two prospective pugilists pulled the plug and the whole collapsed into farce.  Hopefully that’s the end of this storyline now and we can all move on with our lives.  Rachel will be thrilled that there were no bashings.
