Home and Away Ireland » Gina

Lady in Red

Ailsa — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:14:50 +0000

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.

Schoolies alert

Flathead — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:05:51 +0000

Ruby is all stressed out as she’s mid exams and her fella is banged up in the big house. Then Brax got arrested and that made her feel worse. Xavier tried to make her feel better by telling her that it’s nearly time for schoolies. That makes everything alright I suppose. You can’t beat schoolies.

April was having one of her bad fashion sense days today. Good to see she’s over her drug addiction, she seems back to normal now. Is Gina getting a caffeine addiction? Luckily there’s a tai chi crase sweeping the Bay and she’s using that as a substitute for the coffee.

Brax is in deep do-do over the petrol station robbery. It seems one of Jake’s boys, Benji, was trying to set him up with a planted apple core. Brax used his criminal genius to figure it out and sort it. Problem solved, no thanks to Casey’s solicitor, Hayley, who dropped him in it, refusing to back up his alibi. That one is going to be trouble, I can tell. Brax knows that now too, Charlie told him that she’s working for Jake. But Charlie’s been taken off the case so Brax will have to make do on his own. Constable Watson is going to do her best to take him down, which should be easier now that she doesn’t have Charlie around, messing things up.

Braxton blowout

Flathead — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:24:40 +0000

Not a great time to be a Braxton in the bay. Casey is in Juvie, but still able to talk to Brax on the phone. Heath is in trouble with his Neighbours, Gina and John, while the object of his affections Bianca wasn’t too impressed with his threatening of Gina. Brax is the only one who is enjoying himself. He got an earful from Charlie over the court case. You would think he’d be sick of her by now, but no. She only has to “say the word” and he’ll be there. In the meantime he’s going to enjoy himself with the hotshot lawyer who is mixing business with pleasure.

What’s Ruby going to do while Casey is doing hard time? Will she be able to wait for him? A month is a long time to be on one’s own in the bay.

Leah and Miles continue to struggle along. She seems to be doing anything she can to avoid him. She maintains that everything is ok but Miles seems unconvinced. Whither now for them both? Marilyn is doing all she can to help them but will it be enough? I fear not.

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.

Absolute corruption

Flathead — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:53:41 +0000

Gina and the “save the school” crew are on the Dept. of Education. It turns out that they covered up the fact that the school wasn’t properly repaired after an earthquake in 2006. Inspector Xavier was the one who found the details in the school’s files. Now the school is going to rebuilt after all. Final score: citizens of the bay 1, department 0.

Poor Leah is in a bad way. It looks like she might have lost the baby. Veej called Miles, who was preoccupied with the school situation. When Miles didn’t answer he called Elijah who rushed over. He was there to comfort Leah, which is all well and good but wouldn’t he have been better calling Sid or the Ambos? No doubt Leah will now break up with Miles and get back with Elijah, who’s still holding a massive torch for her.

Living in a toilet

Ailsa — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 17:47:27 +0000

I think Felix is the first home and away character to live in a toilet; even Milco didn’t stoop that low. Luckily Veej (the stone-throwing brat) found him and brought him home. What kind of a thick is Sasha to leave her brother living there? She also cleared out the till in the Diner. Hurray, we have a new problem teen!

Xavier called a meeting in an effort to help Gina save the school. He’s fair dinkum, eh?

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!

What a beaut bloke!

Ailsa — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:10:48 +0000

Hahaha the face on Sid at the end of that episode when he saw Sasha and Roo having a chat. He’s in trouble now.

Alf and Romeo removed the mooring after the Council said they couldn’t have it. Alf denied all knowledge of it when Harvey called over without any buttons on his shirt. However, Roo’s article outlining Alf’s attachment to the mooring was published in the Coastal News that very day. That’s two more chaps in trouble.

Gina expelled Casey because she was cross with Xavier. When Xave quit on the farm and came home, she tried to take back the expulsion. Casey was having none of it. Eff school, he said.

Reality check

Ailsa — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:55:48 +0000

Poor Roo, she was playing the part of the doctor’s wife way too soon. Between feeding his children and having dates cancelled, she decided the best thing to do was to leave the farm and assume the position of girlfriend again. Looks like her da gives good advice.

Xave told Gina and John about his tryst with Kelly. They were impressed at his maturity and gave them their blessing to take it to whatever level they like. Very progressive.

Xavier hits the skids

Flathead — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:12:20 +0000

“That boy is heading for a fall” is what I thought looking at today’s episode. Little did I realise that it would arrive before the end of the show.

He’s in the midst of a period of strife. April & Dexter’s betrayal has hit him hard and he’s in a bad place mentally. Sure he didn’t even feel like earning an honest living delivering pizza, hooning off with Summer was a preferable way to occupy his time. Not happy with mitching off work, he stole a work vehicle and took a passenger. Their joyride didn’t last and they ended up in a heap at the side of the road. I don’t fancy Summer’s chances given that she’s such a minor character, they’re easily expendable. If Gina doesn’t kill Xavier when she finds out, Brax will.

What’s up with Indi? She threw a strop over Roo & Sid despite the fact herself and her bloke are living with Roo. Talk about biting the hand that feeds. There has to be more to it than that. Could it be that married bliss isn’t all she had hoped it would be? If they do break up, it will be setting a new record for short lived relationships. The summer bay time-warp strikes again.

Secrets and lies

Flathead — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:57:32 +0000

The newly returned newlyweds got an unexpected greeting from Marilyn when they arrived at the farm, unexpected for Sid. He didn’t know what way to look – I’ve already broken up with this woman and here she is pretending she still lives here and we’re still going out. But now the secret is out in the open, Sid can get back to resuming his attempts to woo Roo.

Another newly single man is Xavier. April unceremoniously dumped him, not revealing her true feelings for Dex, or the fact they had a secret pash. Xav is left feeling foolish and forlorn. His plans of a schoolies trip with the gang are up in smoke. I’m not sure quite what a schoolies trip is but it sounds class. The fact that Gina is dead against it makes me think it would be fun.

April is feeling guilty about not coming clean with Xavier but doesn’t feel the time is right. How foolish. Does she not know that her secret will be public knowledge in a matter of minutes? Xav is going to go looking for answers and walk in on the illicit affair, mid pash. I fear that will be more than his limited brain cells can handle.

A lot happened in that one

Ailsa — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:58:51 +0000

Charlie came to the rescue at the beach, calling an ambulance when Ruby couldn’t. Xavier went back to the hospital and is grand. As someone pointed out the last time he was in, young males in Summer Bay General are not allowed to wear tops. Anyway, Gina and John had to pass up a trip to Hawaii to keep an eye on the surfing champ.

Dex and Kate called it a day, and April copped on that Dex lurves her. Cue loadsa coy, meaningful glances.

Colleen is amazing. She reckons The Man Upstairs has it in for her, after the small electrocution, due to her gossiping ways. Elijah called over and she went mental. Brilliant. I especially like Morag as nursemaid.

Tough Love

Ailsa — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:56:42 +0000

So, Xavier and John “rescued” the laydeez from the perils of the bush. Or they had a mudfight and the girls were grand anyway. It was pretty funny when they caked each other in mud.

Liam is trying to get his head sorted. Bianca is finding this hard to take, she wants to wait for Liam but he is having none of that. In fairness to Ireland’s own, he seems genuine about fixing his addiction issues once and for all, for himself, and not for anyone else.

April seems a bit upset by the whole process. She did her best to get Liam and Bianca back together but it seems like a lost cause. I really hope that Bianca doesn’t “move on” with Heath Braxton. Whatever Liam’s problems are, he’s not as much as a drop kick Heath.

Colleen told Keith to hit the road. She’s not happy with her decision, though. He might be back yet. Here he is being scared by nothing:

Junkie on the loose

Ailsa — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:56:30 +0000

Liam Murphy called around to Summer Bay High, looking like a vagrant. Even Milco didn’t look this bad. As if the students didn’t have enough to distract them, with Bianca’s low-cut teaching tops. Gina quickly turfed him out. Later, the youngsters saw him at the top of a cliff, looking a bit jump-y. Bianca reined him back in. I like how he refers to himself in the third person. Big old ocean, little Liam Murphy.

Sid was getting a bit sick of Marilyn and the younger Walkers thought daddy break-up number two was approaching. The doctor is a bit too fond of Roo, even Marilyn has spotted how close they were and asked her for relationship advice. They’re giving it another go though, yippee!

Gina found Liam playing guitar in a ditch. A far cry from the big stadium tours of old.

Social media revolution continues

Flathead — Mon, 30 May 2011 19:09:24 +0000

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.

Add as friend?

Flathead — Tue, 10 May 2011 19:14:31 +0000

Gina is now a super spy. If she ever decides to leave her job as Summer Bay headmistress she would probably walk into a role with the CIA. She managed to figure out what Xavier was up to by looking at his facebook page. Another bit of cyber stalking and she found out who his girlfriend was. Now she’s invited Miranda to dinner and added her as a friend on Facebook. Slick move Austin. It won’t be long before Xavier’s lies are exposed as Miranda realises he’s not in college at all.

Bianca has FINALLY figured out that April needs professional help. She having some serious mental issues but Bianca was too self absorbed to help her sister before she went away. Now the penny has finally dropped and she has confronted her sister, telling her that this situation can’t go on. I hope April does get some help, she needs it.

Return

Ailsa — Mon, 09 May 2011 19:16:04 +0000

Hurray, Home and Away’s back! Back to its old self, with tension between Leah and Elijah (zzzzz), and Xavier acting the fool. He got Dexter to make him a fake ID so that he could get into a club, which turned out to be an art gallery, all in the name of impressing a lady. Anyway in the wind-up, he fell asleep on the beach, and had a head-to-head with Gina, who had a look through his bag as soon as his back was turned. What did she find? The fake ID.

P.S. Brax’s bro can dance

P.P.S. This is post number 666 ahhhhhh

Romeo’s revolt

Flathead — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:10:42 +0000

School is such a drag. Gina and Miles were getting me down, trying to get me to follow the rules and go to class. There’s no way I’m going to let them tell me, Romeo, what to do. That’s why I’ve decided to tell them to stick it. Gina, Miles, the HSE, they can all rack off.

But Indi is the one I have to thank for all this. Firstly, she breaks it off with me, because I slept with Ruby. Now she starts calling me a tool for quitting school! It’s her fault that I’m back there in the first place. If I hadn’t failed the first time round to be with her, I could have been out of that place months ago.

Well I don’t have to care about any of that stuff anymore. Now I can spend my days surfing and pashing girls behind the surf club. This is going to be great.

Oi, Alf, nooooooo!

Ailsa — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 20:59:24 +0000

Don’t leave us, Mr. Stewart! Who’ll keep Palmer under control? Who’ll provide bait for the fishermen of Australia? Who’ll sort the galahs from the flamin’ idiots? This is gonna be a shambles.

Xave nearly died in that episode, with Gina and April looking on. Doctor Sid saved the day though. That’ll teach the kids to mix toxic chemicals in the sink.

RR knocked back

Ailsa — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:18:30 +0000

Young Robert Robertson certainly pulls no punches when it comes to making romantic advances. He suggested to Leah that they move to the city together, taking Veej and becoming an all-round happy family. She said no thanks, however, as she’s still hung up on Elijah the Massive. I hope this doesn’t mean RR will feck off into the wide blue yonder.

Xavier looked up “How to make a bomb” on the school computers. The school IT guys who no-one ever sees found out. They are very thorough in their work. Anyway Gina told Xavier the cops were on to him, so he went home and poured the bomb ingredients down the sink. This caused both him and April to pass out while noxious gases snaked their way around Irene’s gaff. Gawd save Ireland, I hope it doesn’t blow up.
