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

Yeah Leah doesn't seem the type.

Was Justin and Phoebe more like fwb to start with and then Justin got full on?
Have I made that up? I just seem to think that Justin is a full on guy.

I thought Justin and Phoebe were serious as soon as they got together because there was all that time when they liked each other but he wouldn’t act on it until the drug ring/witness protection thing had been sorted? I’m sure I remember her saying she loved him v early on...

yeah i think they were serious before it even got started as Science says. They were good friends with lots of chemistry.

I loved Maggie's face today when she found out and Simper tried to talk to her. Proper fury face!! I want Zig to get to anger quickly.

And bloody Simper crying like its HER life that's in ruins, HER husband and friend who betrayred her. Frigging hell, she'd give Mea a run for her money with the self absorption today

Aah maybe that's where I'm getting confused. I knew it was awhile before them getting together.

Simper does my head in, she's trying to play the victim. It's all on her (and Brodie) she went after a married man and then told him to chose.
It's like Jasmine, her misfortune with Robbo was self inflicted... she broke rules and looked at confidential files

Did anyone notice that Leah stroked Justin’s nipple?? I fairly clutched my pearls

@AiryFairy1 - thanks for that - I just spat coffee over my desk when I burst out laughing at your post .

Thanks @AiryFairy1 I thought no one noticed so wouldn't have to relive it 🤭

How much longer are we going to have to watch Justin and Leah all over each other and in bed? There has never been this much raunchiness with the other couples in the Bay. It's lunchtime for lord's sake!!

I guess the upside is that it keeps Leah busy so she can't interfere in everyone else's lives.

I dunno, I feel like we always see Justin having sex far more than anyone else

I've been lurking on and off for ages as I was so behind.

@Fortheloveofscience so glad someone else has noticed Simone's weird outfits. They look so cheap and sweaty - I can't imagine anything worse to wear when you work in a hot sweaty restaurant and live in Australia! Also they look awful and the black & lots of chiffon does nothing for her colouring. It's just bizarre. She must have really upset someone in wardrobe on her first day 😂

Poor Marilyn today

I always think Simper is dressed awfully too! Cheapo nylon black trousers like it’s an office in 1997. Old lady jewellery and crap hairstyle too. I’ve grown to think the actress is prettier over time but Lordy, they’ve done their level best to make her look as ropey as possible!

I couldn’t watch those scenes of Leah and Justin (Lustin??) earlier, Leah’s nip stroke was the last straw before my finger hit fast forward! Bleurgh. A shame as I like Justin but can’t abide Leah... although she was slightly more likeable in giddy flirt mode than nosey Colleen wannabe.

He also had a good feel of her ass. Wonder go en his habit of dating his onscreen girlfriends how a willow feels about this storyline?

Can't look at simper without thinking of Emma wiggle. I keep expecting her to burst into song and dance

I can't bear all the tears from Simone. What did she think would happen going after a married man in a small close knit community?!

I know, hideous seeing her and Brody all cuddled up overlooking the bay too. Are we supposed to be sympathising/rooting for them?? I feel like it’s all so unbelievable too, do Brody and Simper really have such an amazing bond? Their food talk was fairly dull and minimal... what else have they got going on??

Good acting from Ziggy, Ben and Mags. Not looking forward to Dean’s Trainspotting impression while he goes cold turkey in the Summer Bay Motel... I really feel sorry for any guests who actually stay there for their holidays!! Killers, rapists and druggies for your neighbours!

You're brave dissing Dean in here😂😂😂

Yeah I think those three have done really well. I keep waiting for Zigs to pee on a stick though

Agree re Simone’s —crocodile— tears. She’s got what she wanted ... they should just leave and stop apologising. There’s NOTHING they can do to fix this.
I felt bad for Zig after her “talk” with Slimeball, although why she’d want to get back with him beats me. I guess it would’ve helped with closure 🤔
I think I’m slightly over invested in this

Yes, let there be no slandering of lovely little Dean!

Oh my God, I have caught up...

Have been loving the Astoni scenes since Brody and Simone were found out - absolutely LOVE ice-cold Maggie at work with pathetic Simone. Raging at Simone who deserves no sympathy. Loving protective dad Ben, and am swerving between being glad that he's being the bigger man and wishing that he would just punch Brody. When Dean offered to "deck the jerk", I was like - yes, please. I think Ziggy has played her scenes beautifully - I remember exactly what it feels like to discover a partner's infidelity and her broken confused bewilderment is heartbreakingly well done.

Also absolutely loved Jasmine tearing a strip off Tori in the Diner. Almost a shame they've made up.

DS was watching the scenes where Mason was setting his stuff up in the garage - "it's Breaking Bad, Home and Away style", he observed 😂

You're brave dissing Dean in here

I’ve actually grown to love Dean, but I have no desire to imagine him squitting and vomming in to a bucket while Pouty mops his fevered brow 🤢 I’m sure they won’t show that, but I have a vivid imagination 😄

Although really it will probably just be the standard soap drug stuff of wobble-cam fading in and out and echoey voices ie like no drug reaction in real life ever!!

Haha I can just picture pouty mopping Dean's fevered brow... making way for the new budding romance 😆

Also absolutely loved Jasmine tearing a strip off Tori in the Diner but Jasmine is in the wrong too and she's totally got away wit it!!
