Miles and Leah had a blue as she didn’t realise he was still on anti-depressants. I forgot that myself; I’m surprised the writers remembered. Anyway they’re friends again now and he’s going to propose. Yahoo for Summer Bay weddings. Hope he doesn’t want to call the child Rabbit.

Sid’s ex, Jodi, is back, and…they’re not divorced! Sid forgot to tell Marilyn and Roo. How did he become a doctor? Indi is understandably raging with her ma for nicking her boyfriend. Watch out Romeo.

Jodi is of unspecified origin. How come it was never mentioned that the Walker children are half-foreign?

Leah is only 3 weeks pregnant and yet she is already holding her belly, the classic h&a shorthand for being in the family way.  Thankfully, Miles noticed this was ridiculous and told her so.  I wonder if it will take her 9 months to go full term or will the Summer Bay time warp kick in, with her going into labour in about 9 weeks?

Brax is a fool for not insisting Tegan get a DNA test for Darcy.  He knows she is a compulsive liar, so why is he taking her word for it now?  Charlie will have a good excuse to do her moany face now that Brax told her to keep away.

I predict ructions between Roo and Sid’s ex.  Just as Roo and Marilyn have resolved their differences, the writers have introduced a new female for Roo to compete with.  No doubt Sid will fall under her spell for a while before coming to his senses.   Roo seems to thrive on a bit of competition, let the best lady win.

Dean had an eventful episode. Not only did he run over Bianca, but he fought with Liam, was dobbed in as a serial sex offender by his sister and got arrested by the cops. Xavier should have taken the opportunity to say “I told you so” to his family.  Not often he’s proved right.

Alf tricked Roo and Marilyn in to making dinner. Good trick Alf.  They made loads so he won’t have to do any cooking for a week.  Miles will be happy, expect more scenes where he’s stuffing his face.

Romeo set up his romantic cruise business with some fancy cutlery and lights but made the classic Summer Bay mistake of telling Coleen how well things were going.  Cue a disaster where the borrowed silver was robbed and the boat wrecked. He should have kept his mouth shut.

First things first, Roo outdid herself in that episode, costume-wise. She was wearing some kind of normal vest top with a floaty top over it, for extra madness.  Behold (by clicking on the following):

See? Madness. Poor old Indi didn’t fare too much better.

Anyway Roo discovered the reason for Indi’s bad, bad attitude towards her. She is having trouble with her transition from schoolgirl to wife. Fair enough; it did happen in 2.4 seconds. Luckily, she is happy enough to stay married to Romeo. I think I might have exploded if they got divorced two weeks after their wedding.

Marilyn was messing with the cards again. She saw something linking her to Elijah. Prior to this, she was thinking of leaving the Bay (first I heard of it), but now she is sticking around – because she’s meant to be close to Elijah. Bananas! I love it!

Now, that was a classic Home and Away episode. Marilyn even got the tarot cards out!

Today we witnessed one of the key Summer Bay plotlines. A breaks up with B, but then changes their mind and calls to B’s house, only to find them canoodling with C. Brilliant.

Brax might be the cleverest of the River Boys, but he still allowed Tegan hide drugs at his brothers’ house, and on the day after he was grilled by the SBPD for laundering drug money.

Marilyn was getting back to her psychic roots, when in the middle of a reading she foresaw doom for Sid and Roo. Roo’s curiosity was piqued when Marilyn ended the session early, but later she ‘fessed up about what she saw. Now, will it be a self-fulfilling prophecy…?

Boo, Morag has gone. Maybe she was sick of listening to tales of the River Boys. If so, she should’ve stuck around because Brax is in trouble. I know this because he got hauled to the cop shop and Charlie made this face:

Roo’s moving in to the caravan park; herself and Marilyn will be best buds in no time.

Ooh, River Bros Brax and Heath had a face-off in which Heath said he found a new spot for the lads’ hash crop. Brax gave him some stern advice about not stepping on other dealers’ toes and Heath basically said SHUT YOUR FACE BRAX YA WUSS.

April rang up Liam’s rehab and it turns out he discharged himself weeks ago. Bianca was not happy to hear this news. Is he back on the gear, or worse, back with his wife?

Marilyn did Leah’s hair and forgave Roo, kind of.

I don’t know why I’m surprised H&A is going on holidays; it does every year. Glenroe used to do that as well. Does Fair City?

Hurray for funny Marilyn coming back. She had a dream that told her it’s time for her to pick up the hairdryer again and re-enter the world of hairdressing. Sure she must be an expert, if her own barnet is anything to go on. The dream was brought on by a session with Miles. I think she came out of that one the victor.

Everyone in the Bay has Roo talked into a relationship with Sid, before they’ve even so much as put up a fairy light. She may as well go for it now.

Dex and April decided to keep their relationship under wraps by kissing on the beach. Class. Of course Xavier spotted them. Cue rows.

Brax’s ex Tegan was sniffing around in that episode. She realised in one day what the citizens of Summer Bay have been blissfully unaware of for weeks, namely that Brax and Sergeant Buckton are taking it to the next level frequently. She issued Charlie with a warning that the secret was not safe with her. So Brax gave her a stern talking-to, and she took off. I’m not fully convinced that that’s the end of Tegan, though.

Marilyn and Sid broke up. Poor Marilyn. She couldn’t compete with Roo’s ginormous dresses. Sid spent the evening staring wistfully at said dresses in Romeo and Indi’s wedding photos.

Who have been naughty boys then? Only Sid and his son Dex.

First Sid, aka Dr Dish, tried it on with Roo and got slapped down. She was having none of it. Sid and Marilyn are still together, and she didn’t fancy being the other woman. Sid decided to slink back to Oz with his tail between his legs. After a quick chat with Marty, Roo had a change of heart, ran out to stop Sid’s taxi and reveal the contents of her heart.  She was too slow to get there in time. No surprise as she was wearing one of her trademark voluminous dresses, which nearly tripped her on the way.

Dex showed that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  He went over to April’s and planted one on her but he too got rejected.  She has morals and a boyfriend which stopped her from engaging with Dex, for at least a few minutes. Once she thought about it, she reckoned it was partly her fault as she’d been giving out signals. Cue change of mind and a massive pash.

The walker men have a profound effect on the women of the bay. Spare a thought for the fallout from their romance. Both Marilyn and Xavier are just collateral damage on the romantic road of Walker way.
