The Bayside Diner: Home and Away fans gather here!

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

A shiny new thread, yah flaming galahs - can't believe we filled up another one!

Yeah, she really did drop herself in it! I did feel a bit sorry for her though (what is wrong with me ).

You've been Jazzed

Jasmine only has herself to blame here. So infuriating to watch. She involved herself by snooping on the medical notes, then by confronting Tori.

She then ignored the phone and vm and landed herself in it by saying "So she told you?" to Robbo

Muppet.

Robbo is a very loose cannon, his eyes are scary

Nope zero sympathy, nada, nothing. Hoping it will lead to her leaving.

SleepingStandingUp

I'm ashamed of myself.

I don't even know why I don't like Jasmine much, I just don't for some reason

And Leah saying something about how it wasn't Jasmine's fault. Aargh, I just wanted to push them both off the pier!

Jasmine's shorts are very annoying. Not as bad as Chelsea's though - they were always up her bum.

I’m glad someone else was annoyed about the marathon thing- it was a HALF. And the girls did half each so 10.5 k
( not that I’m bitter cos I’m fed up with training for the actual marathon I’m doing soon or anything..)

I thought when Ziggy collapsed after the HALF marathon she was going to discover at the hospital she's pregnant.

No sympathy whatsoever for Jasmine and her wooden acting when Robbo dumped her. I wonder if he will end up with Tori and his baby.

I think Jas comes across ad a bit self righteous.
And yy to Leah and Jasmine is so innocent she's a victim, giu out her in the middle. No, Tori's notes were private and she told Jasmine to do whatever she thought was best.

Why is Jasmine acting all best-friends with Willow, Colby & Dean? It almost like she grew up with them too. Ok, so she lives with either Willow or Colby, depending on where her & Robbo are making creepy googly eyes at each other, but they've only actually known each other for a short period of time & I struggle to believe that anyone Willow would particularly want to be friends with her. She just seems to have latched onto their close-knit friendship group & acts like she's one of the gang.

Chelsea too - someone commented that her best friend had just been shot & I marvelled at the coincidence of her having a friend best friend who obviously couldn't make it to the wedding for some unknown reason happening to be shot around the same time as her fiancé's close friend who she only met a few months ago. Did she really not have any friends before she stalked Colby to Summer Bay?!

Mind you, no-one seems to have anyone in their lives from before they arrive in the Bay, until some random relative/ex turns up out of the blue, presumably to find out if they're still alive since they seem to have complete amnesia regarding their previous relationships! Ok, Chelsea's parents & sister objected to Colby but was there really no old friends/cousins/colleagues she wanted to invite?! It was just a handful of SB residents & a couple of River Boys in the background of a couple of shots. All people for Colby, no-one really for her!

I shouldn't think too deeply about such things when I should really be in bed...

Wait, I've got it! The reason they all stick around in Summer Bay is because their previous relationships were all a bit dysfunctional. Maybe they didn't get on with their parents, or they were orphaned, were betrayed by someone... All of them have suffered from some sort of social difficulty but when they turn up at the diner everyone's like one big family so they're drawn into thinking they can have a surrogate family. To truly believe it they have to banish any thoughts of their previous family/friends & fully embrace their new community.

It's actually a cult, which explains why hardly anyone who leaves comes back even for a visit, and why they all go at a moment's notice - they've realised how toxic it is & someone's offered to smuggle them out but it has to be right now... Who knows if they all actually make it to their destination? "Oh, you've won an amazing scholarship? Here, let me drive you to... Umm... the airport..." Never to be heard from again...

Definitely going to bed now... Although I'm slightly dreading the dreams of Alf calling the SES to "find" me when he realises I've exposed their cult... If someone claims I've just landed my dream job which started the next day & I've left with nothing more than my small suitcase & without working my notice at my current job, for which I was never properly qualified for anyway... Don't believe them!

Marilyn is definitely a recruiter

Yeah, there must be something in the air vents in the caravan park
..

I didn't dream about Alf last night... But I was on a train & Chelsea got off to investigate some issue only for the train to pull away without her while everyone was trapped inside. I was banging on a window trying to draw her attention to my slipper that had somehow ended up by a barrier at the end of the track. She thought I was trying to tell her we were in danger. We were but I really love my slippers!

Another dream I had involved Colby trying to visit his grandmother in her care home only to be told that she'd been transferred to one in Glasgow & would probably be too busy to call him. He went to her room & found all the other care home residents sitting around listening to her music & looking at her stuff which was all still there while discussing their memories of her. There was a general acceptance that she'd been "moved" because she knew something she shouldn't & was stirring up trouble for the care home owners.

Of all the H&A characters, I had to dream about ShinyKate & TroutPout! Stupid subconscious getting overly involved in my ridiculous cult theory. Why couldn't I have had a nice Dean dream?! I could totally have comforted him after his grandmother got sent to Glasgow! I hate when I have multiple involved dreams in one night - I always end up feeling more tired in the morning than when I went to bed & for what? Dull & Duller?! Pff.

Brody and Simone actually make me want to thump the TV

Why isn't Simper pushing him to leave Ziggy??? Like they're soooooo in love, they want to name their kittens and their babies. So why not do that and do it openly? Instead of shagging in the FOOD cupboard.

This cheating storyline has bored me off, I haven't watched since Robbo found out about Tori.
So if I've missed anything good please can someone up date me?

I agree - why can’t he just leave Zig if he’s sooo in luurrvve with Simper?? I feel sorry for her (Simone) and I hope she puts her foot down hard!
(I typed foots her put down 🙄😅)

No way, it’s Ziggy I feel sorry for. Brody is a massive shit like his brother pointed out and Simone actively set out to get her claws in. Really hope they leave together fast now which is a shame as Brody was my favourite brother.

Yeah, Simone doesn't seem to be in a rush to get Brody all to herself.

Me too, feel sorry for Ziggy

Airy how can you feel sorry for Simper?? She knew he had a wife. Even if the first time they had cupboard sex she'd assumed they'd split, she knows they didn't, she knows Ziggy was paranoid about them, she can see Ziggy is trying so hard and instead she's just accepting this "one day at a time" crap. I don't condone physical violence but I really hope Zig slaps his smug, self satisfied, I like sex amongst the flour face

Neither Bore-dy or Simper are pushing to be together properly because deep down they both know that they're so bland that the only thing adding any spice to their relationship is the sneaking around. Chef puns intended...
