I’m sick of all of the Braxtons.  They are a curse on the bay.  They should eff off back to Mangrove River and never darken the diner again.  Mrs Braxton is a pain in the hole, Heath a lecherous moron, Brax a manipulative liar, only Casey has any redeeming qualities.  They’re not even bad enough to be proper villians, just annoying more than threatening.

Now Brax’s ex has turned up at the request of Ma Brax.  No doubt she’ll cause trouble between him and Charlie, who didn’t look too impressed when the ex arrived into Angelo’s.  Her mission will be threefold:

• To stop Brax getting notions above his station
• Find out who his secret girlfriend is
• Break them up

I predict failure in each task.

Miles had to give Veej “the talk”. Didn’t go that well, Veej wasn’t interested.  He should have just sat him down and explained that when you’re ready, you can “take it to the next level” with your girlfriend.  Leah seems in denial about the fact that Veej is growing up.  If the V-man could see him now, he’d be so proud.  I’m sure he is watching, sitting up in heaven, looking down, wearing a bear suit and performing hand stands.

It was a day of revelations in the Bay. Firstly, we had both Aden and his brother Justin trying to take the wrap for burying the Dad’s body affair. Each one is trying to keep the other one out of it but ultimately they’ll be found out.  Sure lies never last long in the Bay.

Then we had Alf and Angelo get sprung talking about Hugo in front of Martha.  If braindead super sleuth Martha can figure out that you’re keeping secrets then you’re really in trouble.  Hugo’s cover will be blown in no time once Martha finds out the truth.  I hope his witness protection scheme is better than Vinny’s: a farm worker who moonlighted as a teddy bear at children’s parties and died from sceptic wounds, suffered in a farming accident.  You couldn’t make it up.

I don’t really understand why she’s upset about his death again now.  It’s like she forgot about him for a few months then remembered who he was all of a sudden.  Didn’t they break up before he “died” anyway?

Elijah has finally revealed his secret, and it was a double-barrelled one.  Firstly, he told Miles that Vinnie didn’t die in prison.  This was news to Miles, but not to us.  Leah knew he was alive and in hiding from the Teddy bear incident.  But Elijah also revealed that Vinnie has died recently and the reverend was the last one to see him alive.  Shocking stuff.  How will Leah reacts when she finds out the truth? Go mental for five minutes and then get over it is my prediction.  Then she’ll make her move on him.  Maybe she’ll vomit on him like she did with Roman.  What a winner.

Here are the results of the latest poll. It appears that Robertson is a legend. Personally, I voted for Vinoire.

Don’t forget to vote in our new poll, who is the least craic in the bay? Who’s the driest shite in town?

When did VJ learn to speak? All of a sudden, he’s hanging around the Den and getting into all kind of scrapes. He’s a lovable scamp who needs excitement not unlike his old man, Vinny the half man, half teddy bear, innocent prison escapee, who came back from the dead. Poor Leah is driven demented and is getting even more flustered than usual. VJ was deaf as a baby but doesn’t seem to have any problems with his hearing now, except when he chooses to ignore Leah telling him not to get up to any high jinks. Now that he’s seen Kirsty on the run, how long before he’s shopping her to the cops for the reward money? No doubt he’d spend the reward money on a furry animal costume so he can join up with Vinny in a two man comedy revue show called "Grin and bear it – the bear essentials", touring Edinburgh, Montreal and Kilkenny.
