The River Boys are back in town...

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

@SleepingStandingUp, @CurbsideProphet et al - we filled up a Home and Away thread. This is unheard of. So here’s shiny new one - I know there are only a few of us, but keep the faith.

#bloodandsand

Colby is not a ‘tat’ kind of guy. Least sexy ‘Blood & Sand’ ink ever.

With Brax’s obviuosly being the best.

Ah Brax What happy memories

Can someone remind me where the spoiler thread is? I need to ask a question

Spoilers thread is here

Thank you it dropped off my threads I'm on and I couldn't find it again

It annoys me that these new river boys have never mentioned the Braxton's - even in passing.

People are almost never mentioned after they leave - if they are then it’s a sign they’re on their way back for a guest appearance

Remember, say, how Ruby cut the brakes on a car leading to Dex having a serious accident with a brain injury, and was then arrested and hauled off to the cop shop, to be seen no more... and nobody in the Bay ever referred to it again?

I had to google Ruby, as I had completely forgotten about her and Charlie "you're not my mother" "yes I am! "

Yes, she went off 'to the city' to live with Morag :( while she waited for her trial and was never seen again.

I suppose the option is there for her to return after a spell in jail!

Think she lives in America now as she's married to the Romeo actor who has been quite busy over there. So may not be available for a comeback.

Ooh, married to Romeo, lucky thing!

Shame as I always liked her character and Charlie.

I forgot about Ruby's exit. But with the Braxton's being leaders is the river boys and probably still there at the time of Colby Dean being in it, and for the disappearance of Colby's sister you'd think they'd give them a little homage.

Maybe cause Brax is my all time fav H&A character over the last 30 years I am slightly biased.

Does anyone else think that Colby looks like a slimmer, more grown up version of Callum from neighbours? Like he could be his older brother or something? (Or is it just me?)

Sooo... Maggie dead by the end of the week? Leah & Pa engaged by the end of the month? Will she move in with them or will they all move in with Alf?

Not this week, she'll recover then just when they think she's recovering she'll die.
Ooh Coco and Ryder living together now they're broke up? Is there room?

Ryder
Leah and Ben
Alf
Coco
Roo

I thought when Hunter stayed he was in the cool room with Ryder cos Ben had to sleep on the sofa so Girl could have Roo's room?

Leah needs to move in to his, Ziggy will move out

Leah doesn't really fit into any storylines at the moment, so I'm expecting her romance with Ben to get started by the end of July?

I thought she might start adopting but I guess they have too many adults taking up rooms

Ziggy's breakdown just made me tear up!!

I really want stupid bad woman daughter person to fall of a cliff. Ebony. I want Ebony to fall off a cliff

Leah doesn't really fit into any storylines at the moment, so I'm expecting her romance with Ben to get started by the end of July?

Hang on, isn’t she starting a cool new community website with a vlog?! I, for one, am on tenterhooks..

Yeah I do wonder how much excitement can come from it unless like Liv's overnight success she becomes a YouTube star, Instrgram Influencer thingy and stars swanning around filming everything and talking into the camera

Came on to write about hw great it must be to rock up in Summer Bay as everyone becomes your best mate within 5 mins (even if you’re clearly rough as and dress like a hooker) but now I’m in bits over Ziggys break down.

Yeah the whole storyline is being done well, soap awards here we come I reckon

What have the River Boys done to Leah?

She was really laying into Colby like it was personal to her. I get that she has a second job as the Bay's most interfering fun-sucker but even so, why did she care so much that she had to go straight round to see him and shout about it?

Ah yes, the cool new community website They're having to work really hard to shoe-horn Leah into everything while we wait for the Ben romance. Will there be an online abuse storyline a la Piper?
