Turns out doctor-loving, riding-while-dying Kim Hyde aka Thor has an equally handsome and successful film-star brother.

I expect Home and Away: The Movie any day now.

Indi’s real-life sister is going to be in Home and Away. Bet she nabs a Braxton.

There were a lot of dickheads in tonight’s episode. Let us discuss:

1. Harvey. He’s always been one, in fairness. Points for consistency.
2. Roo. Sniffing around a dickhead makes her a dickhead by association. Also, the stupid jealousy-game-thing.
3. Romeo. For running out on a romantic night with the wife, in order to check on Ruby. I actually think Romeo is a bit simple. Did he ever heard of an invention called the phone, I wonder?
4. Indi. For not shouting at Romeo.
5. Brax. For having a blood and sand tattoo and also for fighting while concussed. It was impressive that he still won, though.
6. Leah. For being interested in Brax. He is a fool and not even nice to her. FOR SHAME, LEAH.

At least we have John Palmer.

Would you believe, we actually forgot to watch Home and Away last night? What happened?

Now that we’ve all had time to get used to the gap that Home and Away has left in our lives, it’s time to ease ourselves back into a Summer Bay mindset by writing our own episode. We did this last year and it was amazing.

If it doesn’t descend into FILTH, that’ll be a nice bonus.

And now, without further ado………

FADE-IN INT. ANGELO’S POSH TAPAS RESTAURANT (IT’S VERY BUSY TODAY)

BRAX (polishing glasses):  Aww, I was thinking of getting another tat, what d’ya reckon?

HEATH (scowling): I wouldn’t do it, bro. It’ll take away from your ripper Blood ‘n Sand one.

BRAX: People will still know I’m a River Boy though, due to my toughness and muscles.

CHARLIE ENTERS

CHARLIE (looks suspicious): What’s going on here?

HEATH: Just a brotherly chat, Sergeant.

CHARLIE LOOKS CONFUSED

HEATH LEAVES

BRAX AND CHARLIE START PASHING VERY SECRETLY IN FULL VIEW OF EVERYONE

Wow, what a start – who’s next? Over to you………..

Two friends of ours (the handsome Saul and a beautiful unnamed lady) went to real-life Summer Bay, and here are the results.  Click the photos to see them full-size!

Meanwhile, on telly H&A, Nicole had her baby and wants to keep it. It’s heartbreaking really. She’s a good wee actor, that one. Also, Indy was wearing MC Hammer pants and has a stalker.

I’m sorry, I’m driving through a tunnel, goodbye Dex.

Home and Away is on hiatus on RTE Two.  I think the song lyrics should be amended to “You know we belong together, except when we take a break for Punchestown”.

Commenter Fitz mentioned this yesterday,  Channel 5 have started a competition to find a Home and Away reporter.  I’d say it would be nearly as good as writing for the Coastal News.

Dear SummerBayWatcher,

No doubt you are feeling the pain now that “Home and Away” is off our screens. May I suggest that you watch “Fade Street” on the RTE Player. There’s an outstanding character called Paul. He’s no Alf Stewart but he’s a helluva man all the same.

Yours,
Ailsa

On today’s episode of Home and Away…….nothing happened! Our beloved escape to the land of Oz is on sabbatical. Forget the bankers and bailouts, this is a disgrace.
