Secrets and lies

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

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

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

Friday, June 24th, 2011

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

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

Monday, May 30th, 2011

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?

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

Monday, May 9th, 2011

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

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

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!

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

Monday, February 28th, 2011

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.
