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.

Dean does have nice eyes...

I haven’t seen for a while and just watching today’s and have a couple of questions.

1. Why is everyone being so mean to Robbo? Especially shocked at the normally lovely Marilyn being so judgemental. He didn’t actually do anything wrong really did he? I mean he didn’t actually kill Kat, she was driving and she had released him from the cell.
2. The lady tori was talking to in the intro (guessing she’s the psyche she arranged for Robbo), she was in neighbours recently wasn’t she, as izzy’s late husband’s daughter/toadie’s client?

I am a bit behind so not sure what’s happened very recently, but I would guess everyone is being mean to Robbo still because they believe him to be a contract killer called Beckett Reid, I think, and he killed a man called Novak. Admittedly Novak was a bad guy who was trying to kill Kat but Robbo killed him deliberately rather than in self-defence - he could have hauled him off to the cops but chose to kill him, iyswim.

No idea about the woman as I don’t watch Neighbours!

I never think it matters if you fall behind : they keep the same bloody plot going for about a year! Every time I turn on, Roo is still gurning, Robbo and Ash are still brooding. Only thing that changes is who Tori is in a relationship with this episode

I tuned into Eastenders recently after a loooong layoff and it was still all the same people!!

I thought the second psych woman looked like 'plain Jane super brain' from Neighbours of old. Didn't bother looking her up as I decided it wasn't...plus she seemed to be doing a British accent

I hasten to add that I greatly dislike that phrase in quotes, but that was her name for a while

How exciting, a Home and Away thread! I thought I was the only person who still watched. I'll jump on with my favourites: Angelo, Heath and my teen crush, Shane (played by Dieter Brummer). How I loved his silky curtains hair.

I prefer Robbo to Ash. I think the actor playing Ash is rubbish! He mumbles so much when trying to portray anger or grief that I can barely make out what he's saying.

Black, according to Wikipedia she is - I thought she looked familiar!

Why are people mean to Robbo?
Because he's apparently a contract killer and he's so dangerous he's... erm on tag and living with a policeman....

I wish they would hurry and do the big Robbo revelation. I'm sooooo bored of his mopey face.

They'll wait tit Court for added drama

Admittedly Novak was a bad guy who was trying to kill Kat but Robbo killed him deliberately rather than in self-defence - he could have hauled him off to the cops but chose to kill him, iyswim.

Well, we don’t know what actually happened, the killing was off-screen. My money’s on self-defence #teamrobbo

Yes, I agree it was probably self defense but he's not saying anything as he doesn't think anyone will believe him and thinks he's going down for all of Beckett Reid's crimes anyway so what's the point.

I'm reading this thread with interest and confusion as I don't recognise any of v the v current names. I grew up in the Sophie/Selina/stephen/curtis/Bobbie/shane/angel era. I think it's now named 'Home and Away the early years' now. I briefly watched the Tash/mama Rose cult storyline but haven't been back since.

Alf is still in it Unicorn

And Irene! I randomly read somewhere recently they are the two longest serving actors in any Australian soap

Childrenofthesun I agree about Ash and his mumbling!

Well I don't need him to talk...

I love Home and away! So glad I've found you all!

Willing Robbo to be a good guy....why are they ignoring that he remembered his real name of Ryan Shaw?

And going back a bit, how did the Morgans raise the cash to buy Salt back in just one day?!

Justin is my fave!

They sold it but didn't use it all. They also Advil have personal savings. It amazes me they all had sui much cash given their lifestyle.

Also they bribed her into a sale with proof she'd lied about profits

Ahem ahem whilst we're counting, I watching it too and follow the thread...I'm just really bad at posting!

So many Home and Away fans

OK, I am catching up (I get really behind during holidays because DH and DS are not bothered about it at all) and have just watched the kidnap episodes.

What.
The.
Actual.
Fuck.

My rabbit could have taken that guy down with zero problems. Yet two grown women and a teenage boy couldn’t figure out how to get away from him in a house which has THREE exits on the ground floor?

That storyline was even stupider than people falling down holes every other week, I loved it.

Alf and Irene are still going? I remember Irene as the alcoholic abusive mother of fin and Damian who then got clean and fostered a billion different kids. Is she still a foster mum?
