The River Boys are back in town...

@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

Yup, Justin does like to recreate his love scenes!!

I'm never really sure of the "map" of Summer Bay, they need to add some houses!!

Like the Tori Raffy baby idea. Yeah she's due March. I'm assuming from her bump size it's early March

Yes a legal fight over the baby while Tori is in a coma sounds just what they need!

What about the Braxtons' old house? I keep thinking the Morgans are living there, but it's meant to be a different house, isn't it?

Good call on Bella moving in with Irene. There's no room for her with Colby anyway and Irene does well with Troubled Teenagers (who are awful for 5 mins then morph into lovely kids).

sleeping We need Paul Robinson to come up the coast for a holiday and realise it's the perfect place to build yet another housing development.

The last person who did that got shot, didn’t they?!

I wikipedia"d last night and thry all have totally different addresses so there's lots of theoretical houses in between (hence all the people at SALT,, the diner and the gym) so it would be easy to bring in a new family "the old Jones's property"
Ideally a teacher couple with kids aged13 - 21

Bring back Heath & Bianca, Darcy is surely getting on a bit so could fill a teen gap. Also some evidence could have come to light that means Kyle gets out of prison and lives with them too. I’m desperate for the good old days can’t you tell (and this is obvs discounting any idea Brax would make a reappearance)

I miss the good old days!

I don't watch Hollyoaks, but every now and then see articles about it on Digital Spy and it's so odd to think of Dr. Nate playing a sleazy teacher in Hollyoaks now!

I need to catch up with last week's episodes, but has anything more exciting happened than:

Robbo/Jasmine/Tori - our situation will be fine and we can all get along/our situation is rubbish and not working/our situation will be fine and not at all weird...

Justin/Willow/Dean - Dean's not that bad after all/Dean's terrible how dare you be friends/Dean's terrible but should still work for me...

Ryder - I love school/I hate school/I'm never going back/I'm desperate to go back...

Chelsea/Colby - no YOUR hair is best/no YOUR hair is best/no YOUR personality is the most vacant/no YOUR personality is the most vacant...

Can you tell I'm not feeling the love at the moment?

Pmsl

That's pretty much the last week

Dean got a new job

Remaining peripheral cast get involved in Maggies fundraiser.

Justin and Willow's relationship is getting creepier by the episode. She doesn't go to work just in case Justin wants to meet her for lunch, she's always saying "Justin's expecting me/waiting for me", she's on edge all the time, she's losing all her friends.

Alarm bells ringing!!!

I just read an article about changes to the law of Coercive control which would indicate Justin would likely be locked up on trial

OMG, you're right!

Your partner taking control over any part of your life is highlighted in the new legislation, including restricting who you see and where you go.

Forcing you to obey their rules The CPS says if a partner is forced to abide by stringent rules set by a partner, it could mean they are committing a crime.

Stopping a partner from seeing friends or family Monitoring or blocking of calls and emails, telling you where you can or cannot go, and preventing you from seeing your friends or relatives is now against the law. IF your partner isolates you from the people you love, they could face the wrath of the law.

The future Mr & Mrs Dull are really annoying me. All it would take is her making sad faces at her dad & him calling to say "I've changed my mind, I've dumped her, tell me where my sister is." He'd find out where she is & they could be all "Surprise, we tricked you, here's a wedding invitation!"

I'm just cross with Robbo that he didn't dump whiney Jasmine for moaning about Tori for the millionth time. It was the perfect opportunity! But no, he had to go and mumble 'Iloveya.' I wanted to slap him. What is it that he loves? She's boring and complains about everything. And she killed Kat.

Justin's also doing my head in. Now there's a guy who deserves to be stuck with Jasmine. And I don't think it would be any less believable cos I'm still not buying her and Robbo. Free Willow! kill Jasmine

Have posted a couple of times before under an old username and am delurking as I see I'm not the only one finding it sooo boring at the moment. I flit between preferring H&A and Neighbours and Neighbours is winning at the moment.

My least favourite character (just) is Jasmine. She is boring, whiny and Irene has better chemistry with Robbo than she does. Tori and Robbo have excellent chemistry but I can see they're going to string the preganancy/baby awkwardness triangle out for months and months. Or maybe Robbo will want custody and she'll go into hiding so she can have her maternity leave.

I didn't think the Chelsea actress could be more annoying than she was in Neighbours, but she is.

Leah does absolutely nothing - neither do Irene, Roo or Marilyn. What's the point in having all of them there if they never give them any storylines? I could maybe see Leah with Colby as husband number four. Is he meant to be loads younger than her? He looks quite old.

Ziggy and Dean should get together. I don't like Ziggy but she's more fun when she's with Dean. Mason and Jasmine should also get together as they are equally unlikeable It seems I don't like many of the characters.

Maybe they need to have one of their big disaster storylines to shake everything up. There hasn't been a bush fire for at least a year....

OMG, I forgot Jasmine is the reason Kat is dead!! Get rid Robbo, she's just awful, the worst Summer Bay resident for years.

I would struggle to work out who is more bland, Jasmine or Chelsea.

I used to like Justin. Bit hopeless, good heart, wants to be in love but the whole thing with Willow is making me want to call an intervention!!

When she cried about the wedding he should have look, I'm a dick. This isn't what I want. I want you to be happy, I want us to be happy, and I didn't mean to turn into a controlling dick. Please forgive me, call Chelsea and let's sort this out. Instead he mumbled a pathetic well this situation is different to the other control I'm trying to enforce. Classic abuser, change the rules as and when, look blank at the confusion caused and claim it wasn't your fault.

The women need to step up.

Tori needs to get her head out of her vagina and bollack Justin.

Chelsea needs to remember that Willow is like family to her fiance and say look, what Justin is doing isn't OK.

I really hate him and I resent the people around him for not calling him on it. Tori did but now she's too busy trying tooust Jasmine from the nest.

Grrrrrrrr

Also
Daddy, Colby dumped me, I'm so sad. I'm going to go away for a few days (kidnaps Willow to break Stockholm Syndrome)
Yo, CDad, I did it. Dumped her ass. Now give me the Intel.

CDad gives the Intel. They find Bella.

Oh Daddy we duped you be a use you're behaving like a dick, knowingly leaving a young girl in danger and a police case open for years even though e and the Colbes only just got back together!!

I want
Dean and Ziggy. Deggy
Raffy and Ryder. Rafder
Roo and Colby. Rooby. I reckon she could make him less annoying and I don't think he deserves Leah
Leah and Justin. Letin. Maybe a relationship with a woman his own age with a better network of friends would stop his control issues
Tori and Robbo. Torbo
Jasmine and Mason. Jason.
Irene and Alf. Irf. How has this never happened???
Coco and the dude from Camp. She should leave to be with him.

I really hope that Justin and Willow are over soon. I wonder if he'll be like Martha's boyfriend who was the ultimate nice guy, but secretly running a people smuggling racket.

And the chat with Brody where he basically admitted he wasn't sure he saw a future with her. Prat.

I want HER to dump HIM though.

i took a year off so don't know back storys.

but omg Willow dump Justin he is awful.
Robbo.....dump the bunny boiler and (work out) and then get with Torri.
oh and Coco pops. get bad.

I do want to mother dean

The back story to Willow is a life of making sure the men are OK. There's an elderly Dad in a care home she cared for for years. She's always felt like she's had to look after Dean since they were kids. Possibly Colby too. A lifetime of the expectation of her happiness coming last.

Omg yes, coco rebellion. Ziggy was the troubled teen when they arrived, but I think Coco could go worse, end up pregnant by the local dope seller, totally off the rails

Are we leading up to Robbo having some sort of PTSD-esque episode?
