Rosie was raped by “Mullens”, after a pash in his car. She went straight to Sasha, who should be the town counsellor instead of Natalie. After a face-off with Mullens, who seems to think he did nothing wrong, they went to the police. There are no local characters down the cop shop anymore, so maybe her case will be handled correctly. Fingers crossed.

Sid told Sash and Dex about Romeo. Dex told April. It’ll spread like wildfire.

In his grief, Dex managed to score his nurse mate. He told April that being friends wasn’t working out, and that they should avoid each other. She’s not impressed.

Spencer took off with his brother, who so boring I can’t remember his name. Harvey is mega-worried. He sees Spencer as a reincarnation of his dead son Ben, not literally, but he likes having a son figure about. It’s gas how Maddie and Spencer arrived about a month ago, and now Harvey says he doesn’t know what he’d do if Spence left. Ah, relax.

Maddie is taking up life-saving, with Jett. Will there be a near-drowning incident?

Gina took some tablets for a headache. No-one in the Bay ever has minor ailments. Also, the Palmer family is a bit too happy. They’ve almost adopted Jett.

Natalie’s fella (who is also so boring I can’t remember his name) wants a job from Gina, but his crim record is getting in the way. Sickener, Teach.

P.S. Dr. Sid tweeted us!

@homeandawayie that is very much appreciated morag .. Xx

Alf put the foot down with Maddie as she’s acting out and driving Roo nuts. I think they should take Maddie to see Dr. Sid; her behaviour is so erratic that she could have a brain tumour. She is a totally different character to when she arrived in the Bay.

There was a second mad storyline today, in which Richard came to the Bay to contest John and Gina’s adoption of Jett. Richard, the man who only met Jett once before. Anyway Jett put him straight and the adoption is going ahead.

Sasha and Rosie are back together. Sasha did a Sheldon Cooper and drafted a friendship agreement, which Rosie was only delira with.

Mr. Smith has the oul’ caaaanca, but he won’t tell his wife. Well, she’ll deduce it soon enough from his withdrawn ways, and if she doesn’t, her dear daddio will let it slip. I only hope Romeo doesn’t tell Heath, who then tells Indi, as that would be a disaster of Home and Away proportions.

What a diagnosis though! Sid seems to be giving him a little hope with the promise of new treatments, but Romeo is riddled with it.

Gina and John told Jett they wanted to adopt him. Jett, the wee dote, went mad, saying he wasn’t good enough. He gave Gina a good dig by saying her sons wouldn’t like it. I’d say Gina thought, “who?”.

Sasha was so amazing and by-the-book in her petitioning for equal-rights uniforms that Gina is going to back her cause with the PNC. Sasha was delighted with this, but had no friends to tell, since she dissed Rosie. Bad move, Sash.

Maddie and Spencer are back in town. He arrived first, and Roo sent him packing in search of his true love. His true love, however, showed up 15 minutes later, so there was a dramatic “stop the bus!” moment. Spencer’s dad then showed up at the caravan park to demand his son’s return. Best of luck with that, daddio.

Tilda is being an awful dickhead to poor oul’ Jett. She gave him another dig in the stomach, but this time John Palmer showed up. Hopefully she will get her comeuppance now.

Dex and April broke up again. She is heading off to college, so that’s probably the last we’ll see of her.

Ah, how nice to have an episode of H&A on the bank holiday. Better yet, John Palmer showed us his dance moves. He’s nearly as good as George Hook.

There was a whole lotta Rosie in that episode. She’s getting advice from Natalie, she’s an amazing waitress, she’s hiding something from Sasha, and she told Crazy Nelson where Tamara was.

A terrified Tamara was all set to head off with Nelson, until Kyle bashed him over the head. Will they do the sensible thing, and call the cops? Doubtful.

Rosie and Kyle should open their own restaurant, they have the customer service thing down pat.

Jamie is a brilliant pathetic baddie. He nicked Jett’s phone, quizzed Colleen about Leah, and texted Veej while pretending to be Jett. JP found the phone in Jamie’s car and confronted him. Jamie was like a deer in headlights; if it wasn’t for Heath’s experience in counter-threats, John would have dragged Jamie down the cop shop.

Adam got Liam to hire a boat for Jamie. What a weird request to make. But Jamie is supposed to kill Heath on the báid, so maybe Adam doesn’t want it traced back to him. It was the worst blackmail effort ever (Do as I say or I’ll get Bianca back on drugs), but it worked.

April’s going to med school. Does that mean she’s leaving soon?

Colleen continues to be brilliant. I thought that Sally would be back for Roo’s wedding, wonder when she’ll appear?

Aha, Adam and Jamie are father and son. They’re in the Bay to do a job. Leah very obviously overheard them saying so in the Surf Club, but strangely, they didn’t spot her crouching right beside them on the stairs.

Leah is raging because Jamie took Veej out on a jet-ski. What’s the buzz there I wonder?

Marilyn went on two dates, and her hair was amazing! The first fella was a no-go, but the second chap was into tarot, and even has a new-age bookshop in Yabbie Creek. Perfect! Mr. JP was hanging about, and quizzing the suitor, so Marilyn gave him a right telling off. She’s like a new woman with that new hair.

Adam has roped Liam into helping him with the “job”; if he does, Adam will leave Bianca alone. Yeah, right, Murphy!

Poor Baby Rocco; he didn’t even live long enough to get his first tattoo. His parents are understandably shaken up; I predict a breakup and a return to bad-boy form for Heath.

Brax decided not to tell Casey about Rocco’s demise. He reckons Casey has plenty on his plate, he’s in hospital and the police want to arrest him for breaking bail. An unidentified cop (where’s Watson?) was very skeptical of Brax’s tale of kidnap and rescue. Natalie soon corroborated his story though. That was her last act of girlfriendliness, however, as she broke it off with Brax. Her reasons were that she didn’t want to deal with all the shootings, kidnappings, and general life in the Braxton clan. If only Charlie had been so sensible.

Gina is up in arms against Marilyn, for seducing John. The only thing is that Marilyn didn’t do it. She can’t help it if her bouffant hair and friendly ways attract the menfolk. Roo put Gina straight so hopefully she and Marilyn can be friends again.

As Alf pointed out, John has a lot to answer for when he returns to the Bay.

Romeo is a sap. He is risking his gammy knee to enter the Summer Bay Surf Carnival. I got the impression it was a small-town, local affair, not the bleedin’ OLYMPICS! In any case, he’s getting his steroids from new dad Heath. Oh, Bianca is going to love this!

Roo and Harvey are still contemplating their future. Roo is pretty annoyed, but it’s not as though she didn’t have her own dalliance. I want to pick a side, but I just don’t care enough.

Gina and John are still at odds, over nothing. Zzzzzzzz. At least Gina remembered she had sons in today’s episode.

I am so glad I watch Home and Away because I got to watch the scene where Liam finds his neighbourhood doctor drunk in a ditch. Class. Why didn’t Sid just stay in his car? Ah it was a classic. Also enjoyable was the scene where Liam admitted he’s wrecked every relationship he’s had, and that even Veej hates him. At least he remembered he had a son.

Good sporting rivalry between Veej and Jett on the beach; each of them is only dying to outdo the other. Romeo gave Veej a good sports psychology chat in the diner. It’s a pity he didn’t have more sense when it came to his own athletics; he hurt his knee, in the sea, and then passed out. John Palmer leapt into the surf calling “Romeo! Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo?”, but no sign of him. Ok, he mightn’t have done the Shakespearean bit.

Gina weirdly still thinks there’s something going on between Marilyn and John. Confusing.
