Are we getting a new family or what?

Ailsa — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:15:31 +0000

Brax wants to leave town, so Heath set him up with a local mobster, who handily has a wife, a daughter, and a nephew in tow! Brax retracted the offer but I think we’ll seeing more of this crew.

Dexter and Ruby are going to the formal together, just as pals. Good spying-on-April opportunity for Dex.

All change

Flathead — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:25:24 +0000

Leah and Miles are no more. Both of them are pretty sad about it. Elijah is ALREADY sniffing around Leah, so Marilyn warned him off.

Marilyn also advised Dexter to apologise to April. He did so while wearing the worst suit of all time. Not only that, but April told him to get bent. She’s still annoyed with him, so she’s devised a plan to seduce some randomer at the formal. She confided in Ruby, who, unsurprisingly, thought it was a great idea.

Bianca is trying to keep Liam away from Brax, as the Rock Star still doesn’t know the truth about the accident. She won’t have to worry for too much longer, as Charlie and Brax are conspiring to leave town. Brax can’t stay around and resist The Boys.

Some light reading for the weekend

Ailsa — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:48:40 +0000

Jessica Tovey aka Belle seems sound.

Poor Rebecca Breeds aka Ruby has voices in her head.

I kissed a girl and I liked it

Flathead — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:11:40 +0000

Was what Dex was saying, well almost. It was more the reaction he got in the diner that he liked rather than the actual kiss itself. Needless to say, April didn’t like it. It’ll take some time for things to get back to normal with them, if ever.

Harvey is blackmailing John Palmer over receiving gifts as a councillor. He said he’d drop it if Roo got back with him. What is it with ex boyfriends trying to blackmail their ex girlfriends recently between him and Stu?

Indi started her internship which involved buying coffee for Dennis and posing in her bikini. She’s clearly headed for the top of the business world. Romeo was none too pleased when he found out and tried to lay down the law, expecting her to be the obedient wife but she was having none of it. Not really turning out to be wedded bliss for the newlyweds.

Mink is back, great news. She was a right royal pain in the hole the first time round, doubt anything’s changed there.

Ruby was having yet another bad hair day. What the hell Roobs?

Schoolies alert

Flathead — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:05:51 +0000

Ruby is all stressed out as she’s mid exams and her fella is banged up in the big house. Then Brax got arrested and that made her feel worse. Xavier tried to make her feel better by telling her that it’s nearly time for schoolies. That makes everything alright I suppose. You can’t beat schoolies.

April was having one of her bad fashion sense days today. Good to see she’s over her drug addiction, she seems back to normal now. Is Gina getting a caffeine addiction? Luckily there’s a tai chi crase sweeping the Bay and she’s using that as a substitute for the coffee.

Brax is in deep do-do over the petrol station robbery. It seems one of Jake’s boys, Benji, was trying to set him up with a planted apple core. Brax used his criminal genius to figure it out and sort it. Problem solved, no thanks to Casey’s solicitor, Hayley, who dropped him in it, refusing to back up his alibi. That one is going to be trouble, I can tell. Brax knows that now too, Charlie told him that she’s working for Jake. But Charlie’s been taken off the case so Brax will have to make do on his own. Constable Watson is going to do her best to take him down, which should be easier now that she doesn’t have Charlie around, messing things up.

Juvie

Ailsa — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:21:20 +0000

Aww poor Casey, the best of the Braxtons, is off to Juvie for the grand total of…30 days! As we know, 30 days is a long time in the Bay. Xavier will probably have suffered four more injuries when Casey’s released. Ruby will definitely have met a new beau. Charlie will be back from wherever she is. Irene will be wearing makeup again. In short, the face of Summer Bay will have changed forever.

How will Casey cope with being an ex-con? I reckon he’ll be hardened up on the Inside, and once released, will have no interest in study or the HSC. He’ll probably fight off Ruby’s probable posse of suitors and pimp her out. Hopefully he’ll fix her hair too.

Casey, this one’s for you.

Party time

Ailsa — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:18:09 +0000

It was parties a-go-go in Summer Bay in that episode. Mr. JP was 50 and having a posh pizza dinner in Angelo’s with every local over 30. Gina was looking lovely. Harvey gatecrashed, Sid scowled, Leah moped, Miles drank and Romeo and Indi (under 30 but there anyway) crept off to consummate their marriage once again.

The under-30s were in the caravan park, where Dexter and April discovered Sasha’s nudie photos. It’s ok, she says everyone is doing it. Casey thought Ruby was with Xave, when in fact she was only trying to catch his eye. Anyway, they are friends again and she is going to wait for him if he has to do a few long months of juvie. I hope she can stick to that promise, she’s never without a man for long.

Braxton boycott?

Flathead — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 19:38:33 +0000

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.

Juvie

Ailsa — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:48:10 +0000

Casey turned himself in to the cops, and reckons he’s going to jail or juvie. That’s why he’s keeping Ruby at arm’s length. I reckon he’ll be out for the HSC.

Leah is back to work. That can’t end well.

Sasha has a new male friend who apparently is a River Boy. I was confused about that as he had his top on at all times.

Snared rapid

Flathead — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:16:35 +0000

Casey is royally screwed now. YCPD snared him on cctv heading to Jake’s and coming back. Doesn’t tally with his alibi of being in bed sick.

Heath told Casey that he had to leg it, go on the run. So eff the HSC, it’s a life of crime for him. Ruby is distraught and will have to pine for him while he’s away. How long before Ruby spills the beans to Charlie?

The tension between Bianca and Gypsy is simmering away. Does Bianca want Liam back? Himself and Gypsy reckon not but she doesn’t want him to be with anyone else, namely Gypsy. Little Lily clearly favours the Ireland’s own Murphy over her mother’s current boyfriend, and tried to blackmail her into choosing Liam. Lily has a bit of a divil in her, taking after her mother.

Do you get it?

Ailsa — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 11:57:47 +0000

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.

A lot happened in that one

Ailsa — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:58:51 +0000

Charlie came to the rescue at the beach, calling an ambulance when Ruby couldn’t. Xavier went back to the hospital and is grand. As someone pointed out the last time he was in, young males in Summer Bay General are not allowed to wear tops. Anyway, Gina and John had to pass up a trip to Hawaii to keep an eye on the surfing champ.

Dex and Kate called it a day, and April copped on that Dex lurves her. Cue loadsa coy, meaningful glances.

Colleen is amazing. She reckons The Man Upstairs has it in for her, after the small electrocution, due to her gossiping ways. Elijah called over and she went mental. Brilliant. I especially like Morag as nursemaid.

Decisions, decisions

Flathead — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:30:08 +0000

Whither now for young Casey? He stands at a crossroads and needs to choose a path. Option 1 involves him sticking it out at school and trying his best in the HSE, making a go of it with Ruby, then going on to be a productive member of society, maybe getting a job in the bait shop or the surf club. There aren’t that many options for adult males in the bay outside of YCPD, the hospital or the school. Option 2 would see him drop out and revert to River Boy mode. He could spend his days surfing, drinking, annoying staff in the diner/surf club and wrestling on the beech. No doubt he’ll choose option 2, wouldn’t we all?

Romeo is aiming for businessman of the year. He’s not getting enough business renting the blaxland as things stand. I fear he’s going to take Heath up on his offer of transporting the river boys and their contraband cargo. Foolish boy. Does he not know by now that the life of crime never pays in the bay? Miles and Roo won’t see him too far wrong, but he won’t be able to rely on Morag’s guidance as she’s off to the city. The bay won’t be the same without it’s biggest brain.

Happy birthday Charlie

Ailsa — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:36:21 +0000

Ruby is in the clear, her sexual health is impeccable. So that means bould Emily infected Romeo. They should have dragged the STD storyline out for ages longer, it would have affected nearly everyone in the Bay.

In today’s episode, it was Charlie’s birthday. Morag has copped on about the Sergeant and Mr. Braxton, so it’ll be out in no time.

Dex went on a date with Summer. It didn’t work out as he only has eyes for April. Xavier likes the look of Summer though, maybe they’ll swap?

STD Tree

Ailsa — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:54:41 +0000

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.

Glances exchanged

Flathead — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:46:30 +0000

Roo and Sid are continuing their flirtations unabashed. Sid made it very clear that he is thrilled to be working with her on the fund raiser. Roo’s ex business partner, Laura, noticed their blatant exchanges, in fairness it was hard not to notice.

Romeo copped a knuckle supper from Casey once he found out that Ruby might have an STD courtesy of Romeo. Ruby wasn’t too impressed but what can she expect? Once a river boy, always a river boy.

Mickeys

Ailsa — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:43:21 +0000

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.

Love and…death?

Ailsa — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 18:52:24 +0000

Poor oul’ Casey, he’s the best of the Braxtons, but things with Ruby are dodgy since the disappearance of Angelo. Apparently he was like a “stepdad” to Rubes. Indy talked some sense into her, and the two ladies made up while they were at it. Awww friends…

Colleen got her undergarments in a twist over Keith, so Morag invited him to the caravan park to thrash it out. Colleen used a weird whispery voice to tell Keith she wanted to be more than friends. Level 1 achieved, yippee for Mrs. Smart. Even if Keith is about twice her height.

Meanwhile, at sea, Romeo was running a divorce cruise with a load of rowdy ladies. One fell overboard and the Captain saved her. I think it was all a ruse to get Romeo to strip.

Marilyn and Sid were performing their own Carry On film, after he came home locked as a result of hanging out with Elijah. Luckily George started crying and saved us all the embarrassment.

Colleen and Keith found the most obvious grave ever in the woods. IS IT ANGELO ROSETTA’S?

All signs point to dead…

Ailsa — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 19:22:56 +0000

…but I have faith in young Rosetta’s survival instincts. The net is closing in on the Braxes though. How will Charlie ever forgive Brax for this? Probably easily enough, given his powers of persuasion. Also, Ruby didn’t seem too upset over Angelo’s disappearance; that was fairly cold considering they lived together for ages.

April is back with Xavier, but Dex secretly LOVES her. Bad choice, April!

YCPD call for back up

Flathead — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:52:39 +0000

After the surf carnival, things got a bit out of control. The River boys were pissed as they left the carnival. Charlie got hit with a bottle and didn’t know who did it. This made Charlie even more confused than usual. She decided to call in the big guns, that’s right it’s ~~FITZY~~ Wilson!!!

~~Making a long awaited return to the bay after her maternity leave, she is going to sort this bother out quick smart~~. Sherlock Holmes has nothing on ~~Fitzy~~ Wilson. Charlie will find it hard to protect Ruby and her River boy boyfriend now.

In other news, Nicole breastfed George even though there were bottles of milk nearby. Colour Marilyn unimpressed.

The River Dicks brought Angelo hunting then pretended they were going to shoot him. Basically trying to frighten the bejesus out of him. Meanies.
