On a boat

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Could Romeo’s business be back on track?  Harvey is trying to make amends for his earlier mistakes and pay Romeo back for saving his life. Alf can see that it makes sense as a business idea, but Romeo seems more circumspect. I reckon Harvey’s near death experience has made him turn over a new leaf. If Roo agrees to a date then we’ll know for sure that he’s on the straight and narrow as she always seems to have good judgment.

Sid gave Sasha the mother of all bollockings.  She was, as he said irresponsible, but it seemed she felt bad enough about it already so maybe Sid could have timed things better. Dex and Indi were really helpful and friendly when little Felix was brought home from the hospital.  It’s about time Sasha got the chip off her shoulder and started to appreciate the effort all of the Walkers are making for her and Felix. Sasha lost it with Sid when he couldn’t convince Felix’s dad to part with his son after a five-minute chat which was a bit unfair on poor Sid.

The diner is all changed now. Roo & Marilyn are running it while Leah and Irene are off work. Roo put her neck on the line for Sasha in the diner.  I hope that she doesn’t live to regret it.  Roo has a habit of adopting a younger protegé, see Nicole and Indi in the past.  Is there anything that Roo can’t do?

 

Travesty

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

There were so many things wrong with Indi and Romeo’s decision to get married. The very worst thing of all, though, was that they did it without Dexter. Very feckin’ mean. They convinced Sid to go along with it in about thirty seconds.

Some other observations:

Romeo’s outfit was like a ninja’s.
Roo’s dress was like a tent.
Sid obviously liked it.
Roo is a woman of principle.

Perhaps Indi and Romeo could go and live in marital bliss in Nicole’s disused house.

Girlfriend for hire

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Dexter has devised a cunning plan.  In order to make April jealous, he’s hired Kate to hang around the surf club with him, acting like his girlfriend. In exchange for these services, Kate will receive biology grinds from devious Dex.  But she’s no dopey dupe, she’s onto him.  Has Dexter met his match?

Marilyn got to say her goodbye with George and Nicole in the city. Very touching indeed. Sid wasn’t too impressed.  I give it a week or two before the two of them break up, but maybe there’ll be a bit more flirtation between Sid and Roo. Sid and Marilyn always seemed a strange pairing and Sid wasn’t too pushed on the adoption idea. Maybe it’s for the best if they call it quits.

Drugboat

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

In a very unsurprising turn of events, the River Boys were found with a load of dope on the boat. Unfortunately, Captain Romeo got dragged into it too. Morag was raging. She wanted to fire Romeo, but Roo came to his rescue, saying she’d be his mentor. Celebrity Apprentice Down Unda or what?

Marilyn misses George; she went over to Miles’ looking for his new address. Miles said no, due to her history of nicking sprogs. Anyway, Nicole rang shortly afterwards. Probably looking for tips on how to raise a baby.

Farewell Nicole & Angelo

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

I’ll miss Nicole and Angelo.  Don’t think I can say the same for baby George as I haven’t had as much time to get to know him.  They had some good storylines in fairness.  What about the time Nicole trying it on with holy Geoff? Who can forget the time that Angelo shot his colleague Jack?  How we laughed.

The bay will be a duller place without them.  At least we have Marilyn to keep us amused.  Child kidnapping isn’t a bad way to keep the town talking.  Luckily for her, Nic isn’t pressing charges so she got away with that one.

Is Roo some kind of world class problem solver?  She’s a one woman A-team.  She defused the kidnapping situation and made sure George got back to Nicole in one piece.  I wonder if part of her wouldn’t have minded to see Marilyn locked up, leaving a clear path to Sid.  Given her mental state and all of the flirtatious texting going on, I think the doctor would be on for that scenario too.

Painful things in that episode

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

1. Poor Marilyn trying to migrate with George
2. Nicole’s floating about moaning about Georges’s absence
3. Elijah and Laura’s flirting

So, Marilyn has absconded with George. I can’t believe Doctor Sid wasn’t keeping a closer eye on them. Cue mega-moany face from Nicole.

Nicole and Angelo aren’t leaving a forwarding address. That’s a nice how-do-you-do after all the support they got in Summer Bay. I hope they at least bring the child to visit Roman in prison. Could he be the Bay’s youngest granda?

Why doesn’t Nicole live in her own house? You’d imagine it would be perfect for a newborn.

Poor Marilyn!

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Poor, poor Marilyn; Nicole wants her baby back. She came to this conclusion after Penn’s great-grandfather showed up and praised her mammying skills. Random. Marilyn was naturally absolutely devastated, but Sid just looked mildly irritated. He was probably thinking, “that’s grand, I can run off with Roo now”.

I love how Angelo is all on board for taking on George. Has he ever even held him? Never mind that he’s only with Nicole three weeks.

The Braxeses are in trouble now. Angelo set up a state-of-the-art CCTV system in his struggling restaurant. Now he knows that they set him up to be attacked, and that Charlie and Brax are an item. Charlie broke up with Brax over it, so he might go off the rails and start smashing stuff/people.

High drama!

STD Tree

Help us solve this mystery, where did the chlamydia originate? Have we left someone out?

Edit: it doesn’t matter, Ruby doesn’t have chlamydia, so the buck stops with Emily.

STD tree 6

Mickeys

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Romeo has a burny one, and Sid has a wandering one. That’s why he’s so mad at young Smith, he reckons Romeo’s a philanderer, just like him. The doctor was fairly eyeing up Roo when she visited Angelo at the hospital.

Anyway the STD thing is sorted now. Romeo is treating it, and Indy is disease-free. I bet Ruby’s not though.

Roo’s friend Nora turned up in the Bay. Roo did something bold but it looks like Nora forgives her. All will be revealed.

Nicole wants her baby back, unsurprisingly. Does this mean poor Marilyn is going to lose Sid and George too? Sad.
