New beginnings

Flathead — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:55:36 +0000

Roo has realised that Harvey may not be perfect but he’s the right man for her. She’s made her peace with his secret family and wants to meet his ex and daughter Lottie. They went on a picnic with a hamper and Lottie asked them many awkward questions. Then they went to the diner and Harvey tried to buy off his daughter with an iPhone 4.

The Lottie actress is Indi’s real life sister and had a similar acting style and delivery. I wonder if her outfits will be as interesting as her sister’s?

Heath attempted to use logic on Bianca. He said everything is wrong with her marriage to Liam, even the fact that the baby is Heath’s. Then he put the moves on her but she legged it. Liam suggested they leave town and go on the road, leaving their jobs and everything behind. He’s a practical man. Liam quit his job and Bianca is going along with life on the road.

Poor Dex is wallowing in his single status. None of the nurses he works with want to date him so he’s spending his days playing chess with Sid. His dad offered to go halves with him on a car as Dex reckons a set of wheels is the key to babes. How will Dex get his side of the money? His get rich quick scheme to raise cash involves challenging the diner patrons to chess for money. It’s a novel approach. e’s like a pool hustler with a chess set. He beat John Palmer and Marilyn but the latter didn’t present much of a challenge. Then young Lottie showed him how it’s done in a Kasparov vs Deep Blue moment. Poor Dex was schooled and lost all of his winnings. He’s back to the drawing board with making money but has made a new geeky friend.

Fashion watch: bay style special

Flathead — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:10:29 +0000

Hot:

Dex’s bicycle t-shirt
April’s study outfit

Not:

Roo’s volumous tent dresses
Bianca’s weird pink and black top – strange

Bianca lost it with April after Heath confronted her about the baby. She went down to the beach for a mope and Dex found her there. Dex as ever has let bygones be bygones with April and wants to be mates with her again.

Casey come up with a genius plan of dropping out of school so he could be with Henri. Clever boy. But it worked out pretty well for him in the end, he went back to school, Henri is going to be his tutor again and he got to kiss her too. Why didn’t she just say “wait until after your exams”? Far too sensible for a summer bay storyline.

Karaoke night

Ailsa — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:17:19 +0000

In a strange move, the River Boys and the Rockstar held a karaoke night at Angelo’s. Every good singer in the cast did a number. Colleen sang too, but the show went to a break! I bet she sang “Gravel Pit”. One two, one two!

Bianca told April about the pregnancy, April told Heath, Heath asked Bianca if it was his. How pregnant is Bianca? I hope Sid does his inspection soon so we can find out.

SERGEANT Watson is after Xavier and Dexter for the Stu murder. Sasha is looking very worried.

Back on track

Flathead — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:15:35 +0000

Ruby got a bit of a wake up call with her sweaty coma. She accepted Roo’s proposal to move out of the van and into the house, lowering its average age by about half. I’m hoping she gets her head sorted now.

April got pissed off when Heath cancelled a date on her. She was all dressed up in a fancy new black dress but didn’t have anywhere to go with it. Heath was off at Brax’s bashing contest even though he told April he had to work. Dex was there with Sid and made up with April, they’re all friends now.

Brax’s fight wasn’t quite Rocky IV. There was lots of talking between the belligerents, lots of crap punches and slaps. Regardless, the crowd were loving it. Brax had Heath and Elijah in his corner and Henri in the audience. The rev told Brax to tap out as he was fighting somebody from a heavier weight division, but Brax didn’t care, the man’s got a death wish. Then Leah turned up to tell Brax to quit it, and he subsequently got battered. I can see the headline in tomorrow’s coastal news – “Bruised beach bum Brax brutally bashed by bigger boy”.

Dex dilemma

Flathead — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:34:06 +0000

What happened there? The short answer is not very much. Here are the bullet points:

Sid is struggling to cope with the fact that Dex doesn’t know what to do with his life and doesn’t want to follow in his footsteps but wants to be a nurse instead.
Irene collapsed in the hospital. She’s still feeling crook but it was only indigestion this time.
Xav admitted to Gina that he has the hots for Sash. He went for a pash on the beech but was knocked back. She promptly told him to keep his distance as she’s toxic.
Romeo hates his job working for Denis but is afraid to tell Indi. Turns out he’s decent at it despite himself and sold 5 apartments.
Harvey is causing havoc with the development and will do his best to block it if elected.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting.

Cops 1, Doctors 0

Ailsa — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:12:35 +0000

The future of the Bay is in good hands; Officer Xavier will keep its streets clean. Xave is so hot-headed that criminals will cower in fear. He went mental when he heard Stu had yet again taken up his mantle as Sasha Basha.

The health of the Bay is in question, though; soon the Walker family could be doctorless. Sid is up on charges, and Dex wants to be an engineer.

I was happy to see Romeo in a suit. He’s no natural salesman, though, trying to close the deal by using his surfie skills.

Elijah’s been kicked out of Leah’s Home for Ragamuffins now that Ruby is back. She didn’t visit a hairdresser in The City.

I’m on a boat and, it’s going fast and, I got a nautical-themed pashmina afghan

Ailsa — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:24:43 +0000

In that episode, Irene was in rude health, and decided to take a solo trip on the glittering waters of the Bay. Her erstwhile beau, Lou, taught her the tricks of the nautical trade before he met his maritime end. This more recent trip didn’t turn out well for Irene; she keeled over as soon as she left dry land. Another one in the long list of Summer Bay leisure-trip disasters.

Poor Dex. He saw April leave Heath’s house early in the morning, and correctly presumed there was next-level-visiting going on. He promptly called to Dallas in the surf club, and offered himself up to her. Unimpressed, she soon forgave Dex and told him she likes him lots and lots.

Poor April. She hung around Heath so much that he was forced to tell her that he only gave her a poke in order to get back at Bianca. Sound man.

Someone made a reference to Xavier going to Police Academy. Hahahahaha. I hope they have a medical wing at the training facility.

Style vacuum

Ailsa — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:16:35 +0000

Where to start? April’s dress, with all of the boobage. RUBY’S HAIR! Alf dancing awesomely. Dexter and Xavier rapping and later scrapping.

Most of all, RUBY’S HAIR. What was the story there? Was it a Pocahontas thing?

Casey’s out of juvie, for good behaviour. He is going to The City with Ruby, despite her hair.

Stu spiked the punch, then slapped Sasha. Sid saw it, YES! And bate lumps out of Stu. FULLY BASHED.

Miles away

Flathead — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:17 +0000

April has been shopping in Luscious lingerie and she also bought some rubber johnnies. Bianca is a bit freaked by the fact that her little sister might be taking things to the next level but Irene told her to take a chill pill. Bianca tried to convince April that her first time should be with someone she loves, while April just wants to get it over with anyone and Xavier will do. Bianca and Liam are heading to the city, but she managed to convince April to hold off on the deflowering for now.

Dex and Dallas are building a nice relationship, especially now that Dex found out herself and her son live in a car. Dex is a sucker for a girl in need, given that he has a heart of gold. He even organised a van for her in the caravan park, fair play. He’ll need her as an object for his affections once he finds out that April is about to take her love to town.

Miles and Elijah had another showdown. Miles is well pissed off with the Rev, but still shook his hand as they said their goodbyes. I’ll miss Miles, he’s been a good addition to the bay, Roo and Alf are going to take over the caravan park. Farewell Milco, Australia’s loss is Thailand’s gain.

Are we getting a new family or what?

Ailsa — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:15:31 +0000

Brax wants to leave town, so Heath set him up with a local mobster, who handily has a wife, a daughter, and a nephew in tow! Brax retracted the offer but I think we’ll seeing more of this crew.

Dexter and Ruby are going to the formal together, just as pals. Good spying-on-April opportunity for Dex.

Car marts and dark arts

Flathead — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:04:56 +0000

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.

All change

Flathead — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:25:24 +0000

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.

Dex didn’t do Dallas

Flathead — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:01:27 +0000

Liam is staying with Bianca in Irene’s house to recover from his jam stains. Where did Liam live before this, in a caravan? How much room is there in Irene’s house? Loads by the looks of it.

Bianca and April are having sisterly tiffs over their respective love lives. Usually it’s April who has more sense but Bianca looks smarter this time, moving on from Heath to Liam. April is displaying a lot of interest in Heath, an unhealthy amount. She must be very hot, she came home at night after a day out still wearing her bikini. Xavier set her up by tricking her into going to the pizzaria where Dex was waiting. April believed him that he didn’t do Dallas but still broke up with him over his boorish bragging.

Xavier seemed happy to see Mink and vice versa. She’s not back five minutes and is already causing trouble. She scabbed a free lunch from Indi and borrowed money from Romeo. Indi is wise to her scams but Romeo is too trusting. She wants to borrow money as she’s in a bit of strife but where is Romeo going to get two thousand dollars? He’s making a fortune teaching the schoolies to surf but that won’t go on forever. Indi wants him to think of the future but he can’t see past tomorrow, poor boy.

I kissed a girl and I liked it

Flathead — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:11:40 +0000

Was what Dex was saying, well almost. It was more the reaction he got in the diner that he liked rather than the actual kiss itself. Needless to say, April didn’t like it. It’ll take some time for things to get back to normal with them, if ever.

Harvey is blackmailing John Palmer over receiving gifts as a councillor. He said he’d drop it if Roo got back with him. What is it with ex boyfriends trying to blackmail their ex girlfriends recently between him and Stu?

Indi started her internship which involved buying coffee for Dennis and posing in her bikini. She’s clearly headed for the top of the business world. Romeo was none too pleased when he found out and tried to lay down the law, expecting her to be the obedient wife but she was having none of it. Not really turning out to be wedded bliss for the newlyweds.

Mink is back, great news. She was a right royal pain in the hole the first time round, doubt anything’s changed there.

Ruby was having yet another bad hair day. What the hell Roobs?

The Virgin Slayer

Ailsa — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:54:31 +0000

Phew, Xavier got the V8 back from Stew. Sasha agreed to keep seeing him. Bad move, Sash, I’d start wearing a helmet if I were you.

April and Dex made a sexy plan but April had to stay home to look after Irene. Dex went to the party in the Surf Club anyway, where Xavier was dressed up as an extra from The Sound of Music. He was trying to lure a lady nicknamed The Virgin Slayer, who prefers the more experienced gentleman. However, she was more interested in Dex, and laid a smacker on him, just as April joined the party. Le sigh.

Sid likes ice-cream

Ailsa — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:07:37 +0000

And just like that, Gypsy’s off again. Well, not really; Irene told her to eff off as she was no help and didn’t even keep the house stocked with tea bags. Tea bags – a household staple! Gypsy tied up her loose ends by getting dumped by Mark, chatting to Liam, finding out he still lurves Bianca, and telling Bianca exactly that.

April is looking for performance-enhancing drugs for the HSC. She asked a trainee doctor and a drug dealer before robbing Sid’s prescription pad. She thought he nabbed her when he asked what was she doing with that, but the that in question was in fact the rum and raisin ice-cream that Dexter scoffed. Phew.

Party time

Ailsa — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:18:09 +0000

It was parties a-go-go in Summer Bay in that episode. Mr. JP was 50 and having a posh pizza dinner in Angelo’s with every local over 30. Gina was looking lovely. Harvey gatecrashed, Sid scowled, Leah moped, Miles drank and Romeo and Indi (under 30 but there anyway) crept off to consummate their marriage once again.

The under-30s were in the caravan park, where Dexter and April discovered Sasha’s nudie photos. It’s ok, she says everyone is doing it. Casey thought Ruby was with Xave, when in fact she was only trying to catch his eye. Anyway, they are friends again and she is going to wait for him if he has to do a few long months of juvie. I hope she can stick to that promise, she’s never without a man for long.

The Next Level

Ailsa — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:16:26 +0000

For nigh on 20 years, Summer Bay teenagers have been obsessed with taking things to the next level. The most recent victim of this affliction is Dexter Walker. April’s more interested in checking out Sid’s mad doctoring skillz, though. She’ll be off to medical school in no time. Maybe she can join the Flying Doctors.

I can’t wait for Romeo to punch Harvey in his weird mouth.

Brax is trying to keep The Boys under control after they were hassling Sasha. He put in a good word for Stew with Sid. BUT Xavier has his wee eye on Sasha too. Ooh love triangle.

On a boat

Flathead — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:18:53 +0000

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?

Disaster

Ailsa — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:54:48 +0000

For a town that has a disaster at least bi-monthly, Summer Bay is not wise to what to do in an emergency. Harvey and Roo headed out on the boat, Xavier left recent heart-attack and bashing victim JP at home alone, and Dexter and April went out into the storm looking for Sasha.

Luckily Alf turned up at the Surf Club and turned on the emergency channel. Rescue action number one. Felix and Sasha just waltzed into Gina’s and discovered comatose John. They rang Sid and he sent help to 31 Saxon Avenue. Rescue action number two. All the while there were cool montages of fake-looking rain, and Alf said typical Alf stuff like, “flamin’ idiots”.

Xavier found Sasha robbing food from his gaff and John inexplicably gone. More shots of driving rain. Alf and Romeo saved Roo and co., except for Harvey, who is looking pretty dead. Perhaps Romeo will get that mooring after all…

Xavier went straight to the hospital, as it’s his second home these days. He told Sid about Sasha the robber.

I LOVE A DISASTER EPISODE!
