  • The happy widow

    Martha is the cheeriest widow in Australia.  Her fella isn’t cold in the ground and she couldn’t be in better form.  Liam has moved into her gaff and her bed.  All he has to do is a few chores around the farm to keep her happy.  Martha trades sex for labour.  She’s like some kind…

  • Speedy

    There was a lot of quick moving in that episode.  Hugo’s “funeral” was about a week ago, so it’s about time Martha moved on.  First, she expertly roped Liam into working on the farm, then asked him to move in, then leapt on him.  The girl wastes no time. Furthermore, Geoff made a life decision…

  • The lost boy

    Geoffrey has lost his mojo.  The Diner race riots have left him scarred mentally and physically.  He tried to take it out on one of the hoons in the surf club but two faced Palmer didn’t back him up and Geoff was left feeling stupid.  Ruby picked the wrong time for a deep and meaningful…

  • Father, I killed a man

    Mink thought she was dead hard telling Xavier about her crime of passion. Sure murder is nothing special in Summer Bay. In fact, it’s the least of the local worries – top of that list is finding a spot on the beach to sit and think about your woes. Leah has caught the Alf bug…

  • This is terrible news

    Fitz pointed out that Rachel and Tony are rumoured to be leaving SB too!  This is a disaster.  Not only is Rachel a multi-disciplinary doctor and all-round magician, but she’s one of the only normal-sized ladies in town.  She can be as annoying as a gnat at times, granted, but she adds variety to the…

  • Blind leading the blind

    Did you see the face on Charlie when Angelo was promoted above her?  So disgusted.  At least they discussed it and now it’s sorted (boss). I never thought I’d say this, but Alf is being really annoying with his constant threats to leave the Bay.  Just go, so.  Himself and Angelo became great mates within…

  • Alf tells Martha what’s getting him down

    “… until one day you wake up and you don’t know where you are” was how Alf put it in relation to the changes that’ve happened in the Bay.  It’s a feeling that Martha can sympathise with.  Every morning her first few questions when she wakes up are “Where am I?  Who am I?  Who’s…

  • Changed the Bay FOREVER

    Ha, that was gas.  A documentary within a soap.  Who was the hard-bitten and slightly dashing journo who landed in Summer Bay in the aftermath of THE RIOT?  His boss was fairly bossy.  I thought his first cut of the doco (they must be called docos in Oz?) was grand. Anyway, apparently the Bay is…

  • Flamin’ diner in flames

    Strewth mate, who were those hoons who wrecked the diner? And Hasim? Alf didn’t seem to recognise them. Alf’s like Summer Bay’s John McClane*, putting out fires and setting things right. He’s really disappointed in his town. I thought he might burn the Aussie flag on the barbie. Where were Supercops Charlie and Angelo when…

  • Don’t go Geoff!

    Who will counter Ruby’s mad ideas?  Who will bring up religion occasionally? Who will look confused all day long (ok, there’s Martha for that)? I guess you have your reasons.
