Those Braxton boys are fierce hard to resist. Charlie was making pained faces as she tried to wean herself off Brax, again.  She’s staying strong, for now, but I don’t see it lasting.  Bianca nearly gave into temptation with Heath but stopped short of taking it to the next level with him. Ruby makes it a hat trick of babes besotted by Braxton with her continuing Casey conundrum.  She wants him, he pretends he doesn’t want her.  Ruby should give up on Casey and concentrate on other things.  I reckon she could rent her hair out to the department of the environment as a wildlife sanctuary.

Leah is still struggling to come to terms with losing the baby. Miles is caught in the crossfire. I can’t see this lasting too much longer.  She’ll ditch him and Elijah will mop up afterwards.

Liam Murphy took to the stage in Angelo’s and Gypsy was LOVING it. A budding romance, no doubt. Lily will be delighted. She thinks her ma is going to marry her flash boyfriend and leave her in the dust. That’s why she’s being such a brat.

Everyone is sad about Leah’s lost baby. Poor cute Veej was going to teach him to play football. Veej had a touch of Henry XVIII about him as he declared the baby was definitely a boy. Leah is pushing Miles away. Leah, noooooooooo!

Irene is doing it tough after her chemo. Her carers are terrible, they’re barely in the house to look after her. Plus they are both crushing on Rockstar Liam Murphy. LOVE TRIANGLE YO

Gina and the “save the school” crew are on the Dept. of Education. It turns out that they covered up the fact that the school wasn’t properly repaired after an earthquake in 2006. Inspector Xavier was the one who found the details in the school’s files.  Now the school is going to rebuilt after all. Final score: citizens of the bay 1, department 0.

Poor Leah is in a bad way.  It looks like she might have lost the baby. Veej called Miles, who was preoccupied with the school situation.  When Miles didn’t answer he called Elijah who rushed over.  He was there to comfort Leah, which is all well and good but wouldn’t he have been better calling Sid or the Ambos? No doubt Leah will now break up with Miles and get back with Elijah, who’s still holding a massive torch for her.

Ah, those Summer Bay folk are mad. Sid has a few drinks and falls asleep on the couch, and it’s a SITUATION! They wouldn’t be able to cope round our way.

Sid found out he has a new daughter, borne of an old flame who has since died. It looks like he’ll have to take on Sasha, and her little brother, too.

Indi and Romeo are broke. She wants to move back in with Sid.

Miles has moved in with Leah. They were quick to christen the bedroom.

Kelly said her goodbyes to the bay and returned to the farm. Why is it that whenever somebody leaves the bay, they have to do it immediately? Nobody ever says, they’ll hang on until next week or next month.  No time like the present I suppose.  Xavier is crestfallen, another failed romance but this time it’s not down to his compulsive lying.  He used both of his two brain cells to come to the conclusion that the solution was to run away from the bay and move to Kelly’s farm. Genius.

Brax told Darcy that he’s not her dad.  Poor girl.  She seemed let down.  I feel sorry for her, having two mental cases like Teegan and Heath for parents.

Miles popped the question but Leah turned him down.  Denied.  Leah adopted a fairly unusual mindset for Summer Bay and said they should wait until the time is right, rather than rushing into a hasty decision.  Never thought I’d hear anybody in H&A say something along those lines.

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.

Miles was on the horns of a dilemma. He wanted to tell Leah not to have an abortion, but he didn’t want to tell her what to do. They thrashed it out anyway and Leah decided to go ahead with the pregnancy. In the meantime, Miles went to Elijah for advice, but the Rev found it too close for comfort.

Brax got stabbed so did some injecting on himself, with Tegan as nursemaid. Good product placement for Dettol. Charlie found Jake in the boot of his car; he gave her a fair amount of cheek down the cop shop. Then intrepid Sergeant Buckton found Brax bleeding all over Angelo’s; she took him to the hospital for Dr. Sid to patch up. Tegan arrived and insinuated her daughter is also Brax’s. Cue pained face from Charlie.

Oooh, Jake is scary, isn’t he? Loads of random shouting in the middle of sentences. Anyway now he has Ruby and Casey held hostage. Charlie will LOVE this.

Leah told Miles she’s on the bubble. He looked confused. I bet he was thinking “Am I allowed eat the diner food now?”. She is scared to have the baby, not sure why, is it because she had to give the last one to Sally and Flynn?

Dex told his ma to stay away. I’m dying for a look at her. Bet she’ll turn up anyway.

There’s a girl who works in Angelo’s who looks really like Sally, she’s always in the background.

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.
