Inquiring minds in Summer Bay want to know; did Miles and Elijah go to the same African barber? They both have new dos.
Poor old Veej is having a hard time understanding why Elijah married someone else. I’m having a hard time understanding why Leah didn’t say “Look, yer wan Grace needed a visa so she could get treatment for her sick son”.
The River Boys – crook or not? I can’t decide. They haven’t really done anything yet, and one of them really fancies Colleen. In any case, both Angelo and Charlie are about to join their merry gang of surfies.
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.
Well, Alf is out and he’s ready for a scrap. He’s raging against the changes made to the surf club in his absence by the original JP. Personally, I don’t think they’re too outrageous. Paying for parking after four hours is fair enough. How could you spend four solid hours in the surf club anyway?
Despite his new-found vigour, Alf has also emerged as the most forgiving man in all Australia. First he had a chinwag to Irene, who was ready to see him locked away for life. Then he hightailed it down to the cop shop for a tete-a-tete with Will, even convincing him to speak to Lilly before he went down.
Will turned out to be a bit of a tragic figure. He’s off to jail and for a long time, be the sound of it. I’m living for the day when Gypsy shows up.
Lilly seemed happy enough with her da’s explanation of what happened. So much so that she gave Veej his first kiss. Cute!
Morag and Colleen deserve their own spin-off show. Their repartee is delicious.
Sing hallelujah, Marilyn lives! And she is a changed woman. She saw no hint of the afterlife when she was “dead”, so she’s throwing caution to the wind and even eating hospital food. Unfortunately for her, however, Colleen already watched her deathtape in which Marilyn confessed she and Lancie replaced Colleen’s mother’s ashes with dog remains. Colleen was ripping. Hilarity ensued.
Ooh RR finally got some info out of Will; he reckons that Alf killed Penn, having seen him covered in blood in the wee hours of the morning. High drama!
It’s amazing how they fill episodes of Home and Away sometimes. That one was full of Leah flustering about whether she and Elijah would hit it off in Africa, and VJ worrying about her calling off the trip. We had Leah talking to Miles, VJ talking to Miles, Miles talking to Leah about VJ’s worries, and Miles finally resassuring VJ that all would be well. So the upshot is, they’re still going to Africa. Phew. It’d be great if they did some off-location episodes.
Mitzi kissed Dexter, supposedly to show him what it’s like being the subject of unwanted advances. Yeah right Mitzi. Sid is none too impressed, and rightly so.
April has discovered a super eco Swedish bus scheme and wants Palmer to set it up in Summer Bay. Palmer looked interested in its money-making potential. Colleen would probably be interested too if it kept the apocalypse-predicting lunatic from Mangrove River away.
Home and Away is returning into Chuckie Down Under. Mr. Oddley rose from the grave that Alf dug for him in the caravan park. Miles thinks someone is “having a lend of” him. That is one of my favourite phrases ever.
“Bon voyage you little mongrel” said Alf as he threw Mr. Oddley into Summer Bay’s deep waters. But the doll submerged through the magic of the washing machine, where Alf found him spinning.
Dr. Sid and Tony are best buds now because Sid stuck up for girl’s boxing in front of Rachel. Sid better watch out, she’s an annoying enemy to make.
Penn is robbing stuff from the caravan park and roundabouts and framing Colleen. What does he have against her?
Martha and Hugo have left the bay like “Bonnie and Clive” according to Colleen. They went on the run after another near death experience with Hugo involved. This time is was the crook cop Eaves who took a pop at Hugo but only managed to clip him in the leg. Charlie and Angelo managed to apprehend bent Eaves and bring him to justice. Making it a good day for the law in the bay, they also arrested people smuggler Hugo and his enabler Martha. But for some reason, Sergeant Risotto decided to release the pair of them so they could go on the run. Away with them, the single men of the bay will sleep easy with Martha gone.
