Schoolies alert

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

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.

Roo returns

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Struth has alerted us to the fact that Roo, daughter of Alf and mother of Martha, is returning to Summer Bay.  She will be played by a new actress; I love this madness.  They did it with Irene, Hayley, Pippa, and who knows how many else.

Bad timing on Roo’s behalf though, her daughter’s just skipped town.

Great birthday present

home and away wedding dvdhome and away wedding dvd

Unbelieveable.  Kate Ritchie introducing the Summer Bay weddings of the past.  We had a pregnant (with Martha?) Roo running out on Frank, Alf and Ailsa slying off to become man and wife, and Angel miraculously rising from her wheelchair to walk down the aisle.  Not to mention Don and Marilyn’s nuptials, and Hayley’s ghost dad giving her away.  Hayley was always seeing ghosts.  Do yis want a lend?

Australia’s most haunted

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Who you gonna call Summer Bay? Ghosts are ten a penny around town these days. The latest spook on the block is our very own Constable Holden. No sooner had Jack shuffled off this mortal coil than he was haunting the hospital and talking to Martha. Let’s hope he makes a better ghost than he did a cop.

But Ghost Jack is only the latest in a long and distinguished line of summer bay spooks and spectres. Who can remember when Bobby appeared to Ailsa on the door of the fridge in the Diner? Great choice Ghost Bobby. Nobody forgot that in a hurry.

Another memorable haunting was when Ghost Shane appeared to a heavily pregnant Angel as she struggled to drive to the hospital through a storm. Are Ghosts allowed to drive motorbike? She was so grateful that she named the baby after him but abbreviated it to just "Shane", rather than "Ghost Shane".

When poor Noah got shot by one of a fierce plague of psychos stalking the bay in recent years, he did manage to reappear to Hayley during his funeral. They made a cute couple even if one of them wasn’t quite there.

Going way back, Blake used to go down to the beach to visit the ghost of his dead girlfriend Meg. She had died down there and decided to haunt the place afterwards. Why did nobody think of calling Ghostbusters?
