Flamin Spoilers you big galah

[SleepingStandingUp]

Says what it does on the tin, don't complain

Altho Ryder is frolicking in the sea snogging someone and I think it might be that girl so I'm not sure it isn't Bella over reacting for a change

Took me ages to find this - got all excited because the trailer for 2021 is on instagram and I remembered that Heath is coming back all over again

Oh I totally forgot about that! Hurrah! It's almost as though they predicted the collapse of life as we know it and are parachuting Heath in as a rescue mission for our mental wellbeing 😀

😂 "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him...maybe you can hire...Heath Braxton."

So Colby might be killed off??

New trailer here

I think Colbes dying is the only sensible option. He either escapes and Bella is still never free, or he's in prison with them visiting forever. I think it's hold a lot of storylines back.

Sensible option is he dies and Bells moves in with Irene, who else does she have there? Could she take Dean? Or back to the caravan park
And then a new couple / family could move in.

I think some more girls need to move in with Zig and Mac

I'd have liked Amber to leave and have sprog with Dean but we all know what happens there...

They Def need more people. No one has replaced Maggie and Daddy, Alf is hardly there these days, there's Tori's doc and Jas's pirate bit we could do with a family coming in. Maybe a couple with teens and their single hot brother for Roo

Oh does Bella not go to New Zealand with Nik? I suppose she can't really if Colby gets arrested in front of her. That's a shame. I feel like she's run her course now. Bella was Colby's reason for being there, she doesn't really have a proper connection to anyone else.

I think we'll need a new main character cop to take over from Colby, possibly to also move into the flat. We haven't seen the guest character cop or sergeant for ages so I presume they've not been booked to come back. I had wanted the sergeant and Maz to get together 😀

I think we have a new woman cop coming in.

I don't think Nikau leaves either, so something must happen to keep him in the Bay.

I assume Bells won't go until whatever happens with Colby and then if he dies possibly won't want to leave / if he's in jail will want to visit him so Nik will stay.

Bella and Nik living with Mac works, leaves Dean alone though. Maybe the female police officer can move in...

So.....

We know Colbes goes down and Bells leaves. Reckon Bella stays with Nik, Dean or Irene? Lass needs a job either way.
Can Dean afford the rent or will he get a lodger?
Won't be Zig, she's gonna be snogging Tane soon

I've seen a spoiler that says Colby ends up in hospital. Does he die? I can't work out what will happen. Will they all just never mention his name ever again?

We don't know whether he's going to die or not - those episodes are just airing in Oz now.

Heath is back v soon over there as well - bit longer for us to wait though.

On back to the bay they hint that he does die as he hasn’t been seen filming.

But there’s always the faked death trope which hasn’t been used for a while... I really thought Robbo might’ve been a fake death tale!

Meh hope he dies so they can grieve and move on.

How far behind Oz are we?

As annoying as Bella can be it would be a crappy end to that long running storyline - Colby finds Bella, she recovers from her emotionally abusive childhood, then Colby goes to prison and dies which leaves Bella without any family.

She's got Dean and will forgive Willow. And she has Irene. Who will give her a job no doubt or Mack will.

I bet Colbes has decent savings, sensible cop living in a cheap flat. Hope he updated his will

I think Willow has gone for good, so there won't be any time for forgiveness?

I don't want to see too much of Colby being threatened and pushed around in the prison yard. Hopefully that will be a quick storyline 😬

[double checks thread title so she doesn't get lambasted for saying this]

She comes back.

I think the actress has taken some personal time out so they've conveniently sent her away but she Def comes back to try and make peace at some point.

Yes, Willow comes back.

It is a dreadful end to the long running story arc of Colby who was always driven to find his sister - possibly dying and leaving her entirely alone in the world, but H&A have form for sacrificing any kind of psychological reality for a cheap moment of drama 😂

Just checked on Back to the Bay - it looks as if we're only two weeks behind Australia!

I think we caught up somewhat over Xmas as they have a really long break

Wow I can't believe we caught them up. For so long we were nearly a year behind (or so it felt?).

I'm not happy to read that Willow comes back. I don't want to feel like they're scraping the dregs out of the Colby / Dean / Willow / Bella story.

I think it's just the actress needed time out so she left instead of waiting it out. She's had a few miscarriages on RL since she married Justin I think

Oh how sad for her (and him). I imagine it's difficult when actors needs time off in those circumstances. Fair enough that the first option was to say she's leaving.
