John lost the school bus contract when Harvey saw him kicking Jaden (a random hoon) off the bus. Somehow the council got wind of it. Palmer vowed to take Harvey down. Ooh. Can’t Gina and Roo sort this out?
That lawyer wan that Brax slept with is representing Heath in his custody battle. Brax was very unimpressed, and brought her for a spin in his Ute, then for a threatening walk along some cliffs. He’s lost his River Touch.
Leah went on a blind date with craig from Yabbie Creek. It was a disaster. He bored her and he was unimpressed with her drinking. Leah thought it was hilarious when he walked out and left her there on her own in the restaurant. She ordered a bottle of champagne and got locked. Then she sat at the bar and chatted up one of the boys. Brax came in and saved her but she was expecting a goodnight pash when he dropped her home. He managed to resist her drunken advances on the couch. She should have pulled the puke on him move she used on Roman years ago, that’s a sure fire winner every time.
Lottie has a thing for Dex. She told him she likes guys with muscles and a sense of humour, so he’s halfway there. She told Roo that he needs to get over his ex, April, first. I think Dex will kiss Lottie just as April is about to tell him how she feels.
Sid and the new doctor, Melissa had a bit of a flirt at the dinner. Sid seems to have moved on from Roo so maybe that could go places.
John and Harvey are still engaged in their council politics power struggle. Don’t know about the rest of you but I find this storyline pretty boring.
Roo has realised that Harvey may not be perfect but he’s the right man for her. She’s made her peace with his secret family and wants to meet his ex and daughter Lottie. They went on a picnic with a hamper and Lottie asked them many awkward questions. Then they went to the diner and Harvey tried to buy off his daughter with an iPhone 4.
The Lottie actress is Indi’s real life sister and had a similar acting style and delivery. I wonder if her outfits will be as interesting as her sister’s?
Heath attempted to use logic on Bianca. He said everything is wrong with her marriage to Liam, even the fact that the baby is Heath’s. Then he put the moves on her but she legged it. Liam suggested they leave town and go on the road, leaving their jobs and everything behind. He’s a practical man. Liam quit his job and Bianca is going along with life on the road.
Poor Dex is wallowing in his single status. None of the nurses he works with want to date him so he’s spending his days playing chess with Sid. His dad offered to go halves with him on a car as Dex reckons a set of wheels is the key to babes. How will Dex get his side of the money? His get rich quick scheme to raise cash involves challenging the diner patrons to chess for money. It’s a novel approach. e’s like a pool hustler with a chess set. He beat John Palmer and Marilyn but the latter didn’t present much of a challenge. Then young Lottie showed him how it’s done in a Kasparov vs Deep Blue moment. Poor Dex was schooled and lost all of his winnings. He’s back to the drawing board with making money but has made a new geeky friend.
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.
I think that Brax got an Irish tattoo. He was driven to it when Veeeej asked “you loved Charlie, didn’t you?”. Perhaps the bauld River Boy was afraid he was forgetting his lady love, and got the tattoo to remind him.
Elijah, like a dickhead, called around to Brax’s, to tell him Leah is in love with him. Sly one, Rev.
In other couple-y news, Gina is taking the opportunity to lay down some ground rules with John, and Roo is trying to be more romantic with Harvey. Yay and puke, respectively.
Do you think we should call Harvey and Roo, Hoo, or Rarvey?
Marilyn and Roo staged an intervention for John. He’s too slovenly for their tastes. He said Gina didn’t have a problem with it and threw out the dinner he’d prepared. Wasteful. Later, he overhead Roo telling Dumb Harvey that Gina was actually sick of John’s habits. Poor Mr. JP.
Veej is trying to join the River Boys. The younger members made him carry out some stupid pranks, until Brax, newly released from hospital, caught him and put a stop to it. Veej was arrested for vandalising a police car. Sergeant Watson put manners on him.
Casey hung around Henri’s back garden while she entertained a tipsy Gina. Henri could do with buying some thick curtains, if she’s to continue sleeping with a student.
Hot:
Not:
Bianca lost it with April after Heath confronted her about the baby. She went down to the beach for a mope and Dex found her there. Dex as ever has let bygones be bygones with April and wants to be mates with her again.
Casey come up with a genius plan of dropping out of school so he could be with Henri. Clever boy. But it worked out pretty well for him in the end, he went back to school, Henri is going to be his tutor again and he got to kiss her too. Why didn’t she just say “wait until after your exams”? Far too sensible for a summer bay storyline.
I don’t know why we’re running that poll to the right, because April has just revealed herself to be the Bay’s biggest dickhead. Hurray! She told Heath that Bianca’s baby is his, proving that she can keep a secret for a maximum of two days. Sure when the baby was born, it would have had a grenade tattoo and then everyone would know anyway.
Darcy made an appearance in that episode, serving her purpose as proof of Heath’s dad skillz.
Not to immediately go back on my word, but maybe April’s not the biggest dickhead in the Bay – Roo and Harvey did firm up their relationship and two dickheads are worse than one.
Leah is still in the running as well, having enveloped Brax in her warm embrace and causing him, in his brain-damaged state, to bolt from her house. Brax is scared of GhostCharlie and doesn’t want to return to the hospital. Doesn’t he know that ghosts are everywhere in Summer Bay, even in fridges?
Maybe we’ll leave this one to the poll after all. Make sure to have your say!
It was good to see Roo tell Leah some home truths. What the hell was she doing in the hospital all night, pining over Brax like a lovesick puppy? Does she not have a son at home who needs looking after? Does VJ not get sick of his mother having a new boyfriend/flirt friend every ten minutes?
Heath found out that Sully was the one who bashed Brax. Genius that he is, Heath decided that he would mastermind the reprisal and got the boys together. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t go as planned. Sully took Bianca hostage on a cliff top and negotiated his way to freedom. Heath returned to Brax and said “I know, I stuffed up”. Maybe he should get a tattoo with that on it.
April thinks that Heath deserves to find out that he’s the baby’s father, Bianca disagrees but the cat never stays in the bag for long in the Bay. Heath will find out about the baby and try to get break up the newlyweds. Rock star or river boy? Hard choice.
