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

Gutted that the wedding falls in the holidays (and maybe Maggie’s last scenes) as viewing will be sketchy now for 6 weeks.

Are they having their usual break or is it just Christmas they have now?

Series Link!

I'd forgotten about Home and Away's pesky summer break. I need to have a check to see when it starts

The Tori and Ash thing. He chose to leave, not to be in a relationship with her. Yet there was angst, chasing after the car, angst, big (?) brother advice...on and on. Can she leave soon please? Oh hang on, no, she can't...Robbo awaits.

They broke up but they still love each other!!!!

I hope they dont have a summer break.

But yeah the Tori & Ash thing is rather frustrating.....but it is Soap Land!

Did you see on the Summer Special how sexy Robbo got on the tourist bus?!

Poor Colby

Sorry, nope, he doesn’t love her enough to stay so that was far too much fuss (am teasing you now).
That sergeant at the cop shop has a good line in ignoring the obvious. Also I was a bit surprised he didn’t already have Robbo’s fingerprints...

Did Ebony really just kill her mother in order to get revenge on Colby et al?! That seems... extreme. And yeah, Yabbie Creek's boys in blue not covering themselves in glory here. Why on earth would Robbo have murdered Hazel? If she'd framed Justin for it instead, that would have made more sense...

I am looking forward to seeing what today brings.

I cant understand either why she would kill her own Mother but hey ho!

Meh, she's quite annoying

I agree Sleeping
The way she walks holding her neck weird annoys me.

Have they all forgotten that Ebony was so badly injured that she needed to sue Justin

I take it that's Maggie on her way out now?

Hope Roo gets to PA Astoni before Leah

I'm surprised Leah hasn't been following him around since Maggie's diagnosis, moussaka in hand, waiting to swoop in & "comfort" him when she drops dead. I'm sure she'll be kicking herself for going to visit VJ just as this happens! Is Roo around atm?

SleepingStandingUp Not sure if it’s what you were referring to, but that WAS Commando from Biggest Loser doing the drills at Fed School for Dummies or whatever that place was supposed to be. He was the one yelling at Robbo to give him an extra 10 or whatever, whilst weedy Lance looked on —lasciviously—

Childrenofthesun I too can claim the dubious distinction of having been an H&Aer for the entire duration, back in the Milco/Floss/Bobby/Frank days. Didn’t know what was going on mind, being six at the time!! Where was my mum while I was watching this adult content, that’s what I’d like to know.

Catching up after being away for a while, poor Mags! I always thought she was a right smug cow but I’ve really warmed to her during this storyline. Can’t get excited about Brody and Ziggy, she’s 19 FFS and they’ve been dating for about six months.

Is it just me who wants Ryder and Raffy to get together, and leave Coco Plops scratching her sulky head about why no one wants to be her friend anymore?? Can’t believe H&A have finally got a gay character too - welcome to the 20th Century guys, maybe you’ll make it to the 21st someday!!

Nooo I didn't realise, I just meant I'm currently watching Aussie Biggest Loser and when I see Commando I think of Robbo. Can't believe I actually missed them together

Apparently the last time they had one there was lots of flak about it but Neighbours do it all the time so not sure what's different

They've had a few lesbian characters - Shannon (Isla Fisher) left the Bay with her female lover, and Charlie Buckton had a brief fling with another woman. I don't think they've ever had a gay man before. They seem to be handling it pretty well so far

I'm another who's been watching since the very start, I really enjoyed the anniversary special. Was is just me, or did Dieter Brummer come across as a bit of a knob? He and Melissa George clearly didn't get on at all.

Ray Meagher is a dote!

Yes Leah is going to kick herself that she isn't laying in the ground work for pa astoni, she could get another husband and the pier in one fell swoop.
I could see Tori getting in there first though, she's clearly on the lookout and an older more settled man might give her more stability. Also it would create dramatic tension between Ziggy/ Brody/Tory.

Would PA want more kids though??

Haven't watched in years but watched the last months' worth on catch up over 2 days - although I only knew 6 characters, not much has changed!

Mainly posted to say, Ziggy is meant to be 19?!

Ziggy is meant to be 19?!

I know right?!

Thank goodness they didn't have he repeating a year at school as so many of the H&A youngsters do!

The new (buff 25 year old) VJ in school uniform was silly enough!
