Roo is ditching Harvey, not quite at the altar but not far off. Celia and Morag turned up for the wedding but Celia made it clear that she doesn’t approve of Roo’s fella. Harvey “Banger” Ryan took that as his cue to leave and went down to the pub with Gary and Winston. The lads told Harvey that his leg break was only a joke, he didn’t see the funny side of it and let Winston have it with both barrels, just as Roo walked into the bar. She wasn’t impressed with his vicious attack on his mate and started questioning their relationship and their impending nuptials – just what we’ve been saying for months.
Dex is worried about April, he thinks he is holding the poor girl back. His solution? Dump her ass. Strange behaviour from the young martyr but it won’t last, they’ll be back together before long.
Bianca is on a mission, she’s not letting Heath go without a fight. He isn’t interested in a renewal of their liaison, too dangerous. I suspect she’ll get her way, somehow.
R is for rangas, aka orangutans, aka human ginger people. My favourite of which is Cornelia Frances, who plays the erudite Justice Morag Bellingham in Home and Away.
Here she is defending the very creatures that inspired the nickname:
Here’s Jonah Takalua of Summer Heights High explaining how to use the word:
Bianca is in hospital feeling crook. Sid sais the baby is ok but she needs to take better care of herself. Heath is knocking about, trying to help but she’s not having a bar of him. Maybe the lady doth protest too much? They’ll be back together before long which will be enough to send “Spud” Murphy back on the gear.
Speaking of reconciliations, Romeo Smith, the sidelined surfer, is having thoughts and feelings about his estranged wife. Ruby is trying to get him interested in starting the surf shop business but he doesn’t seem pushed, he’s more into Indi by the looks of it. She too is thinking about him indoors, but is wary of slipping into old ways. I’m not a big fan of Ruby or Logan so I’d be quite happy to see Rindi reunited, even if it did mean them resurrecting the storylines where she nags him about a job while he goes surfing.
Harvey is off to jail if he’s not careful. He put his principles before his daughter and doesn’t want to be labeled a crook. But he had a change of heart at the last minute & changed his plea to guilty, following Morag’s advice. He got off with a fine, which pleased Roo & Lottie no end.
Well, that’s that. For a moment, there was a glimmer of hope that Colleen might not jet off to Las Vegas, but in the end, she went. John Palmer made sure to get a squeeze before she departed. Alf sent an email that tugged at the heartstrings terribly. Even Morag showed up. Farewell, Miss Groper! We’ll never see her likes again.
Things in the Bay continued as normal after Mrs. Smart left. Jet is still nicking stuff, i.e. Indi’s purse, Gina is still on the case and Xavier had a go as well. All is not well in the Jet household. Poor oul’ Ma Jet is on the way out, by the look of her.
Heath snuck in April’s bedroom window again, but not for a bit of boldness this time. Instead, he built the cot that Bianca had bought for the bub. Ahhh. Breaking, entering and flat-packing. He may hold his horses though, because Bianca went to the hospital in a panic shortly afterwards. Uh-oh. As Kane once said, “If anything happens to the bay-bee…..”!
Mr. Townsend is still getting a rise out of poor Casey. Gina’s well and truly on the Braxton side though. I love Mr. Townsend. He only has one mood, and here it is:
I’m deeply saddened at the news that Colleen and her amazing gold quilted jacket are off to America. Of course, Lancey and Debbie magically want her now that she’s loaded. Although it sounds like Lance still has a grá for Marilyn!
In true Summer Bay fashion, she’s leaving in two days. Quite the hasty departure.
Lottie wants to move in with her da. Dunno why. Her mother must be quite the wagon. Harvey put her off until after his case. He stupidly refused help from legal goddess Morag. Have a nice time in jail, Harve.
Hayley is still off the gear. She’s hooked on Rockstar now. Liam seemed happy enough to go along with her advances.
Haha Dex loves April and sees her as some kind of hair-tossing goddess. He was eyeing her up at Sasha’s 16th birthday party. Aww cute.
Sasha thought, now that she’s 16, she could take off to the Citee, and become a hairdresser, with Felix in tow. Sid put her straight. So she snuck out after dark.
Romeo and Indi are boring and possibly breaking up.
Brax’s intimidation of Steve got Ruby off the drug charge. So Morag’s off. I would like a Morag and Brax spin-off crimefighting show – “she’s above the law, he’s below it, together they are…”.
Good woman Ruby, she managed to concoct a reason for Morag to stay in town. Ms. Buckton was used as a drug mule by her good friend Steve. Steve is such a good mate that he told the cops Ruby was dealing on the surfing circuit. Sound man Steve.
Romeo told Brax, who was instantly hot on Steve’s tail. I foresee some bashing.
Harvey is getting to know his ex and daughter again. Following some heavy-handed hinting from Marilyn, he told an unimpressed Roo. Harvey is a simpleton.
Harvey’s daughter is sarky and annoying. Just like Harvey, then.
Indi told Romeo off because he chose Ruby over surfing. Then Romeo saw a text from Logan on Indi’s phone. Good. I hope that puts manners on him.
Sasha’s trial continued but the young lady need fear not, Morag’s on the case. She cross examined Watson, and got her to admit that she used to think that it was a case of accidental death, not murder but her bosses told her to upgrade the case to murder. What’s going on? The jury finds Sasha not guilty, but Stu’s dad swears revenge. Xavier threw her into the ocean to celebrate, he’s a simple kid. They declared their love for each other and all’s well in the bay.
Morag is my favourite character in the show by miles. I’d watch a courtroom drama programme based on her cases – “Justice by Bellingham”, it would be class.
Ruby is continuing her liaison with Steve the surfer dude, who smokes spliffs down the beach. Rube’s not that impressed and doesn’t dig stoners. I don’t see this relationship continuing long term, especially as she’s still holding a candle for Romeo. Steve is playing the decent bloke but slipped a massive package of grass into her baggage ahead of the flight. That’s going to be hard one to explain when they get caught.
Marilyn has a new client in her hairdressing salon. This woman has a teenage daughter called Lottie and an ex husband who is none other than Roo’s boyfriend Harvey. This could get awkward, especially as she asked Harvey to move out of his own house so she and her daughter can move in.
Sasha’s on trial. Morag’s her lawyer. Watson’s agin her. Sasha said Watson was nice to her down the station, but has now changed her tune. Xavier flinched at his mentor being slagged off.
April knows about Casey and Henri. Henri’s gonna quit teaching so the affair can continue. Casey was smiling like a simpleton when he heard.
