Home and Away thread before Summer Bay gets locked down...

[SleepingStandingUp]

No spoilers blah blah blah

[CurbsideProphet]

We're down to Mondays and Fridays, but that's better than none at all!

[2020journey]

Oh my god has it been put to 2 days as well? I knew neighbours was but didn't realise H&A was too. This is devastating!!!

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Is the last thread full??

I am all caught up - loved everyone pulling together to help Justin out at the garage.

Can anyone explain the relationships of the new family to me? Gemma and Nick (?) are mother and son, so what relationship are the two blokes to them (the one in the bay and the one on the phone 😂)

Btw, I REALLY apologise if I post a little spoiler by mistake but I watch on 5* so am a day ahead. I'll try to remember!

[AppropriateAdult]

The two blokes are brothers of Nikau’s father, Gemma’s husband, who’s dead.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Looks like Dad was killed in some kind of heist but not sure why son blames older hot uncle

Yeah there were 3 posts left on old thread so I filled them with the link

[CurbsideProphet]

Ah thank you for explaining how they're all connected. I'm wondering if Roo might finally have a romance soon?

[CurbsideProphet]

When she and Maggie have solved the Leah mystery of course.

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

I feel that Marilyn and older hot uncle have a bit of a spark...

[Matilda2013]

Had no idea we were cancelling the 6pm episode or moving to 2 days a week... That was a terrible surprise tonight!

[SleepingStandingUp]

Oh sorry Matilda yeah, same as neighbours.

I don't think they'll go there with Max and Ari, u think it's better that John is just paranoid.

I vote Ari for Roo. Him walking topless across to the caravan shower block a few times should do it.

Glad Ryder has a mate lol, and a love interest for Bella might make her less annoying

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I'm aware I'm probably being really stupid here, but who is Willow's Dad?
He's been mentioned as she won't want to leave because of him and I can't think who he is

[Matilda2013]

@ihavebrillohair Willow's dad has dementia or something and is in a care home

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I've somehow managed to totally miss that.

[SleepingStandingUp]

He was in it briefly as a subsidiary character but he'd mentioned more than seen

[CurbsideProphet]

I think Willow's dad was in it once? She took him out in his car and they said hello to Dean. Maybe... Willow had her dad's car and it was her pride and joy. She also used to visit him a lot at the nursing home.

John is being such a tit right now that I’m semi-backing Maz and Ari. Also possibly cos Ari is fiiiiit 😆

I’m getting a Brax and Heath vibe from Ari and his muscly bro.

I’m not sure about Nicau (sp?) and Bella if this is a thing, I’m sure the uncle said Nic had been in his life for 25yrs 😕 isn’t Bella 16?? Maybe I’ve got this wrong.

Two episodes a week 🙈 I’ll never cope!

[SleepingStandingUp]

Ah just found on her calling him fit. Maybe one sided obsession.

Tane is also beautiful, he needs to join full time.

[ChoccyJules]

Yeah, he is, not sure why they are homeless yet he seems to have a house. They really need to sit us all down and explain what went on!

[SleepingStandingUp]

It'll come out when Tane turns up.

So far, clues...

There's the Dad, dead. News article about a busr gone wrong.
Nik commenting on not being like Dad when she asked where he got money from
So Dad and by extension the brothers low level criminals?

Ari knows Dean - River Boys or jail?

Tane chose not to come with the family - is he still involved with the river boys?

Nik blames Ari but did his involvement lead to Dad's death or his refusal to be involved?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Oh homeless. THEY'VE MOVED TO THE BAY BUT NOT THE CARAVAN PARK!!! If anyone else moves the motel we might to cast staff!!
So they to to the, and Ari was working but had an accident as per hospital during seige so can't work so have no income. We're in motel whilst they looked for somewhere but now no money

[CurbsideProphet]

I'm also enjoying the muscly River Boys vibe

Hopefully they will confide in Maz and thus explain to the viewer exactly what is going on.

John is so joyless and pompous. I would love for Maz to be with a chap like Ari.

[CurbsideProphet]

And John's unkind. Maz is such a warm and generous woman I don't like seeing her kindness crushed by his miserable presence.

[SleepingStandingUp]

I've never got them as a couple. Just imagine the difference in the sex quality too.

Reckon Gems will explain to Maaz or Nik to Ryder

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

I thought Dean mentioned jail when he was talking to Ari - that was my impression anyway...

[Fi1982]

I could really see Maz and Ari becoming the new Tom and Pippa-esque couple, taking in waifs and strays, helping them away from a life of petty crime stealing leftovers from the Diner and squatting in a disused caravan 😂

H&A make it happen! Maz is lovely and kind and beautiful, John’s just too much of an arse now.
