Bye bye Mel.  She must be going to take her ma up on the offer and move to NZ.

Miles and Charlie found Melody in Melbourne.  I’ve never been to Melbourne, but it must be tiny.  They kept nearly running into each other.

There was a double bed in the room where the intrepid duo were staying.  I bet that was Charlie’s idea.  She almost got into Miles’ knickers, but not quite.

Update: Here is the face Charlie was making when Miles was spilling his guts.  That is fake sympathy if ever I saw it.

Looks like Martha will be getting back with Roman now.  Poor oul’ Jack all the same.  Sure haven’t we been saying for years that his inept policing would be the death of him?

Melody looked a bit like Carrie at the formal, and was equally as mad.

Kane magically got out of jail and wants Kirsty back.  Pity that didn’t work for the V-man back in the day; I reckon he would have had more success.

Oh, and Belle may as well move into the hospital now.  Irene spends half her time there, as it is.

1. Who is looking after Ollie when Kirsty is swanning around Miles’ house?
2. Didn’t Melody already have a storyline like this where she slutted up and was flirting with boys in the surf club?
3. Have Ruby and Charlie totally forgotten about their da?
4. Are shots of vodka typical break-up drinks?

Summer Bay is really coming into the media age; it now has its own radio station.  The Bay FM DJ who was hanging around with Alf seemed like a chipper chappie, and I’d say a few more H&A regulars would give good wireless if they got the chance.

Jack and Martha would of course drive the drama department, while Colleen would be Australia’s answer to Joooooooe Duffy.   Morag might make a good Marian Finucane.  Melody and Geoff could do a radio version of A Prayer at Bedtime .  I wouldn’t put Leah on the sound desk though, she’d get far too flustered.

So Ma Jones reckons that Melody needs an exorcism? I was hoping that we’d get to see the projectile vomiting and her head spinning 360 degrees. It didn’t turn out to be quite so exciting. Poor Melody. Stuck with that wagon for a mother. Sure no wonder she went loopy.

Lads, ye should do this quiz.  It’s deadly.  This is my result; I didn’t know Melody was a victim of voodoo!

“Melody from my perspective is a little weird!!! she just cant get over her ex boyfriend Geoff (who is to good for her anyway) being with someone else!! her hair is long and straight and is an A student at school. She is currently single because she is too ugly to have a boyfriend. she left her family becaus they were doing some voodoo thing to her. also she has random mood swings.”

So, my answers show that I am too ugly to have a boyfriend.  Bummer.

Finally, watch out, because “random mood swings” can land you in a mental institution.

So it seems that Aden has company in the mental home. It’s only Melody, Geoff’s ex. Her mother must have drove her mad. Given what we saw of the woman it’s not that surprising. Melody always seemed a bit on edge but it seems her over zealous ma pushed her over the edge. Quelle dommage.

But who else over the years should have been locked up for their own good? Here’s a quick rundown of the looney list.

Alf is a fairly level headed bloke by and large. But when he had a brain tumor a few years ago, he started seeing and hearing things, mainly his dead wife Ailsa. Matters came to a head when the imaginary Ailsa pushed Morag down the stairs. Mad.

Dan followed Alf’s lead by going on the run in the bush where he was chasing his son Ryan. As it happened, he too was seeing things. Ryan was in fact a couple of thousand miles away in the US with his mother. Poor old Dan.

While Alf and Dan went through periods of temporary madness, Mama Rose was a full time mentalist. She started her own cult which duped gullible teens and organised the rape of Tasha. As evil and mad as they come. She gets pride of place in the penthouse of the bayside asylum.
