Ship to shore

Flathead — Fri, 13 May 2011 20:39:18 +0000

Given the way Marilyn was smothering Nicole she must have felt like saying “I’m on maternity, get me out of here!” She had enough of Marilyn’s schedule and girl’s day in, it was all getting too much. So when Angelo called over to see how she was doing, she took the opportunity to bail. Out of there like she stole something.

The two mates went down to the pier to see Romeo cleaning Alf’s boat. They begged the young layabout to let them on board and take the Blaxland out for a cruise. He relented, theft of property is no big deal when you have an ex YCPD Sergeant on board.

Angelo suggested Romeo start taking the boat out for charter cruises, like Hugo used to do. Maybe Romeo will get into people smuggling too. It would probably be more profitable that his surf school which isn’t going too well so far. He didn’t seem too impressed when the redhead boy turned up for his first lesson. IS he trying to say redheads can’t surf?

I watched an episode of South Park last night, in which Cartman and a few pals went off to Somalia to be pirates. Sounds like Veej was watching it too. He and Lily are planning on running off to Africa. I’d love to know their travel plans. Do Aussie airlines let pre-teens fly on their own? Wait till you see how flustered Leah will be when Veej goes missing. She can’t even handle a busy diner. Will will probably tear Irene’s house down, brick by brick.

Joanna, ma of Bianca and April, warned Liam Murphy off her elder daughter. Surely that’s just a challenge to the Summer Bay Rockstar? And another thing, what happened to Liam’s house?

Gina told Xave and John about the plan to send the money to Hugo and Dumbo. JP knows a lot about money laundering for a daycent Aussie businessman. By the by, how come Xavier didn’t spend any of the money? Not even to buy parts for his fixie car?

Roo’s ruse

Flathead — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:10:50 +0000

Did Roo just come back to try and get the money from Xavier? All of her chats with Alf and appologies may have just been a cover to her real reason for being in the Bay. Hugo wants his ill gotten gains back to build a new life for Martha and him, one built on blood money. They are a stupid pair and deserve each other.

Here’s Roo pulling another scam 20 years ago. Her hair was different then.

There’s been a murder

Ailsa — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 19:00:42 +0000

from sydney.jollypeople.com

Robert Robertson is back in force after his Christmas break. He’s interviewed a few of the locals and found out that Alf told Penn he’d “flamin’ kill” him, on the very night he was “murdered”.

I bet Penn’s hiding out somewhere. Probably with Hugo and Martha, in the secret Aussie hiding place.

Dr. Sid called around to deliver Nicole’s HIV results. She’s clear. That’s probably because she didn’t hang out with HIV Henk much.

Will and Irene had a good oul’ heart to heart. He cheated on Gypsy and she ran away. That’s why the young one is afraid Daddy Will Smith will run off too. She doesn’t want to go to school either, probably because she’s the only child in Summer Bay.

So, Miles told Leah ’twas him who helped Veej write to Elijah. Leah went mental, then calmed down and called around to the caravan park with a confession. She’s been writing to Elijah every day since he left. Where in the name of God did she get the time to do that? No wonder she’s so flustered.

All this talk of Elijah makes me think he might be coming back. Normally when someone leaves the Bay, they’re never/rarely heard of again. For example, Dani, Jade, Kirsty, Cassie, Rhys, Shelly, Tasha, Geoff, Robbie, and the list goes on.

In another unusual H&A move, no-one has found out about Hugo’s money. Well, Charlie knows, but it’s not public knowledge. What’s that about? Anyway well done to the writers for not following their usual path!

The lives and loves of Martha McKenzie

Flathead — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 18:13:22 +0000

Methodical? Never.

Mysterious? Sometimes.

Misunderstood? Often

Monogamous? Rarely.

Moron? Always.

Martha. Summer bay is a poorer place without it’s resident wild card. You can say many things about her but life was never dull with her around. It’s hard to know where to start with her.

She arrived in town with a flash when Jack dared her to streak naked along the seafront. Alf was unimpressed but he had to get used to these kind of shenanigans from his grand daughter. She later went onto appear in a strip club as a pole dancer which was classic H&A viewing. She wasn’t slow in showing her assets.

Yes, it was never dull with old Martha. She was the subject of regular kidnappings, attempted murder, car crashes, cancer, miscarriages and any kind of disaster going really. The bay will miss it’s resident queen of drama.

She knew when to fight for what was right, such as when she saved Tasha from Mama Rose and the cult. She also knew when to forgive and forget with Jonah’s past and Hugo’s people smuggling. Bit of a goldfish memory.

Martha had a talent for making snap decisions. This is what made herself and Jack such a good match. Life changing choices like “I’m going to buy a farm”, “I’m adopting Bum bum” or “I’m leaving the bay” would be made in space of a lunch hour. It would often be followed by the rational of “I’ve thought about it” – for a whole five minutes, went unsaid.

What of her lovers? Let us count the names. I’ll start with Jack. I wonder if we can name them all?

Hugo & Martha leave with a bang

Flathead — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:32:48 +0000

Martha and Hugo have left the bay like “Bonnie and Clive” according to Colleen. They went on the run after another near death experience with Hugo involved. This time is was the crook cop Eaves who took a pop at Hugo but only managed to clip him in the leg. Charlie and Angelo managed to apprehend bent Eaves and bring him to justice. Making it a good day for the law in the bay, they also arrested people smuggler Hugo and his enabler Martha. But for some reason, Sergeant Risotto decided to release the pair of them so they could go on the run. Away with them, the single men of the bay will sleep easy with Martha gone.

It’s a date!

Ailsa — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:10:20 +0000

Hmm, not sure what to make of Alf and Marilyn going on a date. Although, they would be a humorous couple. Marilyn could get into scrapes and Alf could grumble about “that flamin’ woman”.

Marilyn does like an older man, too. But it might be a bit weird seeing as Flathead and Alf are best buds.

What about Elijah’s ma? She’s a proper wagon, and the da is totally henpecked. Poor Leah. Sure she’s skin and bone as it is. Dunno how she managed to give birth to VJ at all.

Edit: I forgot to mention the Hugo storyline, maybe because it’s COMPLETELY BORING. Anyway there’s a new cop in town, he killed the kidnapper with the weird accent, and now he’s after Hugo. Snoooooooooze.

Poor Hugo

Flathead — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 09:57:16 +0000

“You guys are smart and Martha’s even smarter than you”. Xavier knows how to insult his brother. Talk about a backhanded compliment. Related posts: Bye bye Rabbit and Aden, hello Hugo Annie is the only one in the bay who gets it Hugo Related posts:

Apparently John Palmer is drop dead gorgeous, according to Jill anyway. But that whole hiding in the bedroom from Gina story is pretty boring. No doubt there will be confusion and rows when Jill gets discovered.

Hugo nearly got his entire family killed but Rachel seems to be the only one who give a damn about it. The rest of them aren’t too bothered at all despite the fact they were nearly drowned and shot by the guy with the shotgun and a confused accent. Thankfully, Tony ambushed him with a rock from behind after Hugo ran him over. Now he’s banged up in the YCPD station and is looking at some hard time plus 1000 questions from Angelo.

I don’t know how Angelo is going to fit in time for a relationship with Charlie. He’s far too obsessed with Hugo to leave room for a girlfriend, even if she is one who likes doing her ironing in her silver underwear.

Kidnapped

Flathead — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:44:51 +0000

What is the story with the kidnapper’s accent? Where is he supposed to be from? Is he Irish, welsh or Australian? His powers of persuasion were impressive, Gina got in to the car with him without batting an eyelid. Yet again, Hugo has got his family in big trouble. He’s a walking disaster zone.

Whogo

Ailsa — Wed, 26 May 2010 20:11:38 +0000

Well Hugo is back big-stylee now. Martha took him straight back into her arms without a word about his people-smuggling. At least Gina gave him a dressing-down for being a massive criminal.

The Austins are surprisingly adept at fobbing off the bobbies. Love how Xavier said “It’s the cops” when Angelo and Charlie came to the door, as if he’d never met them before. Anyway Gina cranked up her headmistress skills and YCPD were slinking out with their tails between their legs.

Gina was nice to Miles, though, even if she was delivering the bad news that he might not get his job back at the school. Bet he doesn’t think Rabbit was so deadly now.

Apparently Aden has left. I totally missed that; I must have been making a cup of tea or something. The exits are very swift these days. Nicole is totally over it though, Liam Murphy sorted her out with some bonza advice. By the by, they now have a ping-pong table in the caravan park. Bounce.

Bye bye Rabbit and Aden, hello Hugo

Ailsa — Sat, 22 May 2010 18:13:28 +0000

What a dramatic few days in Summer Bay. Rabbit helped Miles rescue Leah, Elijah, and a rake of kids from being gassed on their school trip. Somehow this meant that it was time for Rabbit to leave. So she headed off with her ma down the beach. Poor Miles was in bits over it. There was no explanation of Rabbit’s psychic powers though. I think we should put this in the Alf-as-aborigine box and accept we’ll never know the answer.

Nicole, being egged on by Justin, broke up with Aden as he wouldn’t say he loved her. So he went off into the wide blue yonder with Justin. No doubt he’ll join the army too.

Hugo’s back. Martha decided everyone should know that he is in witness protection so she told Xavier and then went down the diner to tell everyone else. She did it in the same room as Colleen; she must have the memory of a goldfish. Anyway then Xavier told Ruby, and later met Hugo on a random road in the Bay. Hugo was sporting some fine stubble and hiding under a hat. The bad guys will never look there.

The game’s up

Flathead — Tue, 11 May 2010 18:10:13 +0000

It was a day of revelations in the Bay. Firstly, we had both Aden and his brother Justin trying to take the wrap for burying the Dad’s body affair. Each one is trying to keep the other one out of it but ultimately they’ll be found out. Sure lies never last long in the Bay.

Then we had Alf and Angelo get sprung talking about Hugo in front of Martha. If braindead super sleuth Martha can figure out that you’re keeping secrets then you’re really in trouble. Hugo’s cover will be blown in no time once Martha finds out the truth. I hope his witness protection scheme is better than Vinny’s: a farm worker who moonlighted as a teddy bear at children’s parties and died from sceptic wounds, suffered in a farming accident. You couldn’t make it up.

I don’t really understand why she’s upset about his death again now. It’s like she forgot about him for a few months then remembered who he was all of a sudden. Didn’t they break up before he “died” anyway?

Ailsa — Mon, 03 May 2010 20:11:23 +0000

Annie and Romeo are now officially in love. The oul light-a-few-candles-and-set-up-a-discoball trick worked. They’re love’s young dream.

Ruby has a new love interest herself. Mega-rocker Liam Murphy is giving her singing lessons, and he’s fairly hands-on. Of course he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into, but he mightn’t mind too much. We haven’t seen an illicit love affair in ages (Leah and Elijah doesn’t count).

Martha has recently remembered that Hugo is “dead” and her family are concerned for her state of mind. Alf told Angelo he wanted to tell all, but Serge Risotto convined him to keep schtum. Then the crafty copper went round to Martha’s with a pizza and the world’s strongest wine – the pair of them were locked after half a bottle. Oops. Meanwhile, Hugo hasn’t checked in with witness protection and is living in a dungeon somewhere with only Martha’s photo for company. No good can come of this.

Poor, poor Miles. He doesn’t know what’s going on with Rabbit. Is she a ghost, an angel, or just a mentalism that he dreamed up himself? In any case, it looks like the braindoctor will put him right. About time too, as Rabbit is upping the annoying levels very quickly.

Yahoo, Xavier is going to find out Hugo’s alive and all hell will break loose. I can’t wait.

I wonder if the H&A cast had a good time at Punchestown?

Martha in using brain shocker!

Ailsa — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:50:56 +0000

Well, blow me! I nearly fell off my chair. Martha came up with and carried out a cunning plan, all on her ownio. She went to supercop Charlie under the pretence of trying to find out if she should return the engagement ring procured with Hugo’s ill-gotten gains. However, the canny lass was actually checking whether it was ok to keep Hugo’s secret riches, which currently belong to Xavier.

Meanwhile, across town (and a bit later), Angelo was spying on Charlie, who was visiting her counsellor. He fell out of a tree as a consequence. What larks!

Ailsa — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:00:11 +0000

There was a lot of quick moving in that episode. Hugo’s “funeral” was about a week ago, so it’s about time Martha moved on. First, she expertly roped Liam into working on the farm, then asked him to move in, then leapt on him. The girl wastes no time.

Furthermore, Geoff made a life decision and left the Bay to be a missionary in the space of about three hours. Ruby didn’t look too happy at all. He didn’t even tell Xavier or anyone else in town.

Miles helped Leah get over her agoraphobia. She did some pretty good acting so there’s not much to slag off there really.

I’m a coward and a scumbag

Flathead — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:30:38 +0000

So Hugo’s not dead after all. It was an elaborate ruse to catch Suzy. I hope it feckin’ works. Also, who’s to say they didn’t do the same thing with Jack? Hmmmmm? Maybe we should let go of that one.

Why did Alf have to know? This is all going to backfire. He’ll tell Colleen at some Stewart soiree and then the cats in the street will find out.

Xavier got loads of dosh from his cowardly scumbag brother. Maybe he’ll take up dealing again.

Miles has a new mate. I thought she might be imaginary but maybe not.

Sly one

Ailsa — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:23:00 +0000

Well, Hugo got off in the end, he’s gone to the big people-smuggling depot in the sky. He was a crap villain anyway.

Angelo survived getting shot in the head, he’s just like that fella, Kurt Cobain. How did he survive that?*

I do believe Martha said at one point, “I don’t know what’s going on”, which I thought was default mode for her. She forgave Angelo for shooting Jack anyway.

Bungbung/Bangbang/Bumbum has gone back to his dad now that he has learned English and how to play the guitar. Those guys are going to go far. Martha looked pretty sad. After all, she just lost a farm slave.

So, that’s the end of the mystery. It was a long time coming and was quite good in the end. I don’t really think it’s CHANGED SUMMER BAY FOREVER though.
