The gym had a very successful launch, and Romeo and Indi decided to christen it, by taking it to the next level there and then. They were interrupted by Sid, however. Scarleh for them. Crucially, Romeo also started complaining of a pain in his shoulder. “Come on down the hospital, Romeo, mate”, arsa Sid.

Once down the hospo, Sid said the damage was just muscular. Deadly, thought Romeo. Later that evening, though, Sid informed Romeo that the radiologist spied something on his x-ray and that he better get it checked out. Uh-oh, radiologist? Here be a cancer storyline?

Who was the last person in the Bay to have cancer? I was going to say Belle, but of course Irene had a run-in with the Big C lately. Boo cancer.

Casey has an opportunity to avoid going back to jail, if he’ll just tell The Super who stabbed him. Young Braxton doesn’t want to leave Jamie in an even worse position though. No-0ne else can understand this.

Maddie had a strop with Roo, out of the blue. Then she returned her violin to Alf. Cop on, girlie.

Heath told Bianca she was doing his head in, because she had a mickeyfit when he proposed. You and me both, Heath old boy.

Heath is so easily led, though, that he’ll soon come around to Bianca’s way of thinking. It only took Celia 10 minutes to brainwash him. He’s so angry and simple.

There’s no room for April in Irene’s; she’ll have to head off into the wide blue yonder and become a doctor. You can’t really stay in the Bay once you go to Uni. Indi manages it, but she barely goes, she’s far too busy working in the diner Angelo’s. Dani had a few Uni scenes, but took off shortly afterwards. Countless others have just disappeared into the arms of education.

Roo is being extra-extra weird around Maddie and Spencer. What’s it all about, Harvey?

Do you think we will ever see Lottie again? Maybe she died of those measles/chickenpox.

How is Heath Liam’s boss in Angelo’s? I thought Liam was the manager and Brax is the owner so I don’t know where Heath comes into it. Heath seemed pretty happy that Liam punched him as it gave him an excuse to fire him, well, pretend to fire him before giving him one last chance, as long as he accepts a demotion. Liam has to suck it up as he needs the money for his son. There are no other options for a man his age given he’s already worked in the school. Turns out Heath is rubbish at managing the place and is running it into the ground.

Jett is in group D according to Tilda/Hanna, a stuck up cow who is in group A. Jett should threaten her with violence and take her lunch money, getting back to his roots. She punched him first, why does he put up with her bullying? He’d kick her ass.

Everyone is looking for work in the diner. Sasha, Rosie and Tamara all asked for a job but Irene couldn’t help them out. Sasha is annoyed with April for helping Tamara find somewhere to live. There’s still a fair bit of bad blood between Sash and her love rival Tamara, now she’s got it in for April and even threw a paper ball at her head in school, which Gina managed to miss somehow. I wouldn’t mess with Sasha, she holds a mean grudge.

Super sleuth Sasha copped on that Rosie doesn’t have a sister and “Hanna” was hired help rather than a blood relation. Rosie flipped when Sasha confronted her and stormed off. Never one to be easily put off she followed her mate home and saw her feeding fish in a fish tank. Not that mysterious, is it?

Celia is back in the Bay to stay; she was conned by some handsome divil and has nowhere else to go. So, she got a job down the diner, where she promptly irritated Irene to the point where she nearly said “Gawd save Ireland”. Marilyn was supposed to give Celia the boot, but couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Spencer had a chat to Roo and told her his and Maddie’s parents are brown bread. So they’ll be hanging around the Bay, sleeping in boats and such. Are they really brother and sister, or is it a Shannon and Curtis situation? Either way, Roo wants to adopt them, so they’ll be enrolling in SBH any second.

Jett is back on the Veej-hunt. He tackled Liam about it, and Liam roared at him. Then Indi consoled him. Now Jett 4 Indi 4 eva.

It was Casey’s last night in the Bay as a free man (maybe), so the Brothers Braxton decided to show him a good time. By getting pizzas, cans, and playing video games all night, followed by an early morning, tatts-out swim. Then Brax got the call that the verdict was in…

Romeo and Dex had their own, less raucous, boys’ night down the hospital. Romeo made up an unlikely story, but the Walkers and April bought it. The doc couldn’t find the cause of Dex’s seizure, so that’s that, until Sid and Indi find out and go bananas.

Bianca went to visit Rocco’s grave. Shortly afterwards, Irene asked her, “Will you be ok now, girlie, bub, gawd save Ireland?”. Expecting some speedy grief resolution there, Irene.

It’s great to have the old Dex back. He’s cracking jokes and asking for group hugs. Lisa is very impressed with his progress. Maybe himself and April will move out again once she’s finished her HSE. They are a cute couple in fairness.

Adam kicked Liam out of the party after finding him snooping around the house. Liam found a photo of Leah and Veej that Jamie had photoshopped and robbed. Leah flipped when she saw it but still doesn’t want to get the cops involved.

Liam and Heath have joined forces to free Bianca from Adam’s clutches. Her brain is gone missing due to grief and drugs, she thinks staying in Adam’s place is a great idea and won’t listen to Liam or Heath. Even April and Irene can’t get through to her. Where’s Brax in all of this? He seems to have gone missing while Adam is running amok.

Sid and Lisa are getting on well now she’s living in the farm but her psycho ex isn’t taking it well. He ambushed Sid outside the farm and bashed him to the ground. I hope Lisa has scarpered before he catches up with her.

Bianca is on the warpath. Everybody is interfering in her business. She can’t even take prescription drugs and space out in peace without having half the Bay all up in her grill. First Natalie stuck her nose in, then Irene poked around, but Liam calling over to “talk” was the last straw. She rang Heath and gave him an earful then gave Liam and Natalie a serve in Angelo’s.

He had other things to worry about, like roaming around the city in the rain with Brax. They’re on a Kyle hunt and managed to find a place he’d be staying but the girl staying there said he’d gone. Where next for the brothers Braxton? I don’t think they’d make good detectives as Kyle was there all along. He decided to leg it when he figured out the boys were after him but changed his mind and organised a showdown under the bridge, plus he brought some backup. Get ready for some bashing.

If Natalie and Brax don’t get back together, then how about Liam and Natalie as a new couple? They are both involved in problem solving/advising/general nosiness.

Leah went on a lunch date with Jamie in a massive gaff. He managed to talk her into it despite her initial reservations, but what’s he hiding? He cooks a mean moussaka but I suspect he has a secret or two up his sleeve. He seems very interested in young Veej for some reason.

Sasha is having a hard time adjusting to life without a crush on Casey. Sid told her to get on with things but she won’t listen, the poor love-sick puppy. Sid told his daughter about Casey’s mysterious half-brother Kyle, which he finds a bit far-fetched. Sasha disagreed and she’s right, long-lost relatives are commonplace in the bay. She went to visit Casey in hospital, told him how she feels, and Casey apologised for his behaviour.

Ma Braxton is hanging around, counselling Heath i.e. stirring things up. She stormed over to Irene’s to confront Bianca over the fact that she’s taking care of the funeral details. Bianca was lucky that Irene was in her corner and told Cheryl to sling her hook. I thought Heath and Brax were anti-police but Cheryl takes that to a whole new level, shouting abuse at the sergeant in the hospital which he took with good grace.

The cops are on Casey’s case. Brax was told that they need to find Kyle or else Casey will face further charges related to skipping his bail hearing. Now it’s time for Brax to get all the details on Kyle that he can and track him down. I am somewhat confused in relation to this, didn’t Brax leave Kyle out in the desert? He could be dead by now.

Where is Watson gone?  I miss her and Fitzy.

Dex is struggling to cope with the fact that he can’t help April given all the help she’s given him. Dex’s life has changed and it’s not going back to normal anytime soon. He ended the episode lying on the ground in a heap when April ran off.

Marilyn and John Palmer went on the rip. He returned home to make it up with Gina, who knew just how to put manners on him.

Marilyn, however, stumbled home and across Harvey, who was sleeping on the couch. I love drunk Marilyn, she’s amazing. Please, please, Home and Away writers, do a spin-off called The Drunk Marilyn Show. Thanks.

Another high point in that episode was Alf and Romeo ignoring the Roo-Harvey shouting match and getting stuck into their pizzas. Proper order.

Heath thought it would be sound if a few of The Boise knocked around to Irene’s with a crate of beer. He is a cretin. That’s why he suits Bianca so well. She did housework for the first time ever in that episode. Funny how she thought she’d just move her baby and fella into Irene’s, without even asking first. Plus, she hasn’t been at her job at the school in about five months. They must get great maternity leave in Australia.

Does Natalie do anything other than wander around the bay looking for Braxton’s to question? Weird outfit today Natalie. She had heart-to-hearts with Casey and Brax, and threw in a Gina chat for good measure. She’s counselling the whole bay these days. It’s like when Flynn was counselling the kids, before he remembered he was a doctor and packed all that in. Anyway, Casey told Brax that in order for him to talk to Natalie, his bro would have to break up with her. They talked and decided to go their separate ways. The depth of their sacrifice was heart breaking. Brax does like a bit of illicit love so maybe they’ll sneak in a few secret sessions on the side.

Bianca and Heath were allowed to bring Rocco home to Irene’s house. Any chance of them getting a place of their own and getting out from under Irene’s roof? Heath had a freak attack and Brax had to headlock him to calm him down, which worked surprisingly. Brax told him to stop worrying what their dad thought and get on with being a dad to Rocco.

Gina’s lost the plot. She’s off to check on Jett; is he ok? Probably.
