Marilyn was not impressed when she realised Alf and Miles had painted clothes onto Mr. Oddley.  However, a bunch of flowers from a “secret” admirer soon took her mind off her puppet pal.  Dexter is infatuated with her.  Those Walker men have good taste.

The Walker girl is not having much luck in the romance department.  Romeo informed her that he’s not ready for another relationship.  Maybe next week, Indy.

Why do we need a new Dexter?  Maybe the producers didn’t like the previous actor who played Dexter.  Fair enough if that’s the case or if he wasn’t available.  But it seems that not only have they given us a new actor, but they’ve also given him a personality transplant.  His mock Attenbourgh nature documentary was pretty annoying.  Sid and Indigo would have been well within their rights to leave him in the bush when their car broke down.  He may not survive too long in the bay in anyways.  Boring or annoying young chaps often get written out pretty quick ala Henry going off to tap dancing school, Jai leaving for Japan and Lucas fecking off to a writing course after Tony shagged his teacher.  I give it six months before Dexter leaves to get a job as a jockey in the Melbourne cup.

The Walkers, that’s who.  Sid, Indigo and Dexter have returned to the bay.  What effect is that going to have on poor Nicole?  Sure she has no end of older men to lust after between the good doctor and the mysterious Penn.  Ruby is trying to follow Nicole’s example with her own older man obsession.  Liam is the object of her affections despite the fact that he’s made it clear he has no interest in her and wants to keep his job.  Nice to see somebody in the show act sensibly and use their brain.  With those kind of instincts Liam will be made principal in the nest few days, given Summer Bay timescales.  From bad boy rocker to small town school principal in 12 months or less.

Uh-oh watch out Ruby, here comes your da with his confusing words and twisting of the truth.  Charlie did a good disbelieving face when she heard that Ruby is making friends with her father.

Where is Dexter and Indigo’s ma from?  She’s a little bit foreign, didn’t know that was allowed in Summer Bay unless you have an Aussie accent to go with it.

Poor Sid, everyone’s effed off on him and all because of Nicole.  He better not get together with her after all of that.  I wonder will Indigo fully recover from her terrible injuries AKA a few scratches to the face.

And Annie is heartbroken.  That’ll probably last five minutes, and she still has Jai to fall back on.

Ahhh poor oul’ Jai, he’s only heartbroken about Annie and Dexter forming a couple.  Did you see him crying on the beach?  Sweet.  Bet he wishes he was invincible again.

The Nicole and Sid thing is hilarious.  Nicole is great at being sexy, all pouts and sleepy eyes.  But the Doctor’s having none of it.  That doesn’t matter, though, because Indigo saw them kissing which means it’ll be all over the Bay in no time.  Sid may as well go for it.

That episode revolved around babies.  Rachel’s wrecked because of hers, and Kirsty’s just annoyed that she’s pregnant in the first place.  The S word was mentioned twice.  Rachel wasn’t feeling very sexy (poor Tony’s having a hard time) and Kirsty told Leah she was tired because of all the supposed sex she was having behind Miles’ back.  That told her.

There might be a new love interest for Leah in the form of Rachel’s widower dad mate, who she met at her mother’s group.  The group seemed to be some kind of competitive showcase for child-rearing abilities.  Fun.

Jai thought that the best way to woo Annie was to set up a website for her.  Unfortunately, before he presented her with it, he spotted her wearing the face off Dexter.  I wonder what he posted on www.anniesummerbay.com when he went home?

Summer Bay welcomed the Walker family this week. But no sooner had they arrived that the Ma left.  She was sick of putting up with Dr Sid and his adulterous ways. So now he’s left looking after the kids which will be tough to balance with a job in Australia’s busiest hospital and riding anything that moves in a town where there’s a prevailing “free love” attitude.

He’s already had a bit of a barney with Leah in the diner. Considering she’s the only single lady around his age, I don’t think it’ll be too long before their confrontation becomes consummation.  He timed his arrival badly as Charlie and Martha are otherwise engaged at the moment, otherwise I’m sure he’d be able to get it on with one of them.

Indigo has managed to have a scrap with a pissed Nicole. They could be love rivals for a single, and often confused, Geoff. Imagine the strain his brain will be under if he has to make a choice?

Young Dexter seems harmless enough and has taken his Mother’s departure badly.  But Annie is doing her best to console the poor scamp. He’d want to watch it as he’ll face the wrath of Jai if he doesn’t cool it. Jai has taken a bullet for less so Dexter could be in big trouble. I predict a bashing.

Well, it’s all happening since VJ and Miles found the hand on the beach.  Charlie’s been kicked off the case, Angelo is heading up the new task force, and Hugo has gone out diving – alone.

My bet is that Hugo is some kind of Dexter-type character, serial-killing and throwing the bodies off the boat.  Except this isn’t LA, and he’s not Dexter.  He lives with dopey Martha, and she’s bound to trip him up.  Although it has been confirmed that Madge Wilkin’s nephew was right, the hand was chewed out by Jaws II, so that’s that theory out the window.

Speaking of whom, Martha was walking around in her underwear, causing Hugo to scarper out to sea in the first place.  The menfolk of Summer Bay don’t seem to be able to differentiate between bikinis and lingerie.  Remember when Miles saw Kirsty in her knickers?  It almost drove him mad with lust.

Nicole has turned her affections towards Trey.  Boring.  Trey’s dad seems to be mates with Alf, he’s setting up a Surf Carnival and promoting local business.  He even has a Summer Bay uniform of some kind.
