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

Not seen it but hopefully it won't be the end

Well, I'm so over Bella and her petulant strops!

Bet Colby's wishing he hadn't spent the last God knows how long trying to find her now 🙄 I certainly am.

Bella really needs some therapy. All these pointless heart-to-heart chats with various characters aren't going to cut it. Sure she can't talk about Colby shooting Ross, but for goodness sake her dad murdered her mum! She shouldn't have to deal with that on her own.

And how dare she be rude to Roo !

yup but i'm not sure locking her up given her parenting thus far is the answer.

Glad Brody is giving half of Salt to Ziggy. It's the least he can do.

Take him for every penny the cheating scumbag.

Sorry, I'm projecting....

Alf’s back from his reprogramming on the Blaxland 😝

Anyone else frickin love Mason? He’s got a great moral code and family comes first. Wish Tori was leaving along with Brogey, selfish moo. Talking about ethics, when she went behind her grieving and mentally unstable IVF partner’s back to have his child!!

I just knew they’d have to create a truce with Ziggy and Brogey. So annoying. Why can’t he just leave under a big giant black cloud with everyone booing and throwing rotten smashed avocado at him 😁

Urgh Leah stop trying to be sexy with your three inch lips.

The whole Justin-Leah thing is too cringey... where’s it going anyway?!
And yesyes to lovely Mason’s morals - he’s gone way up in my estimation, especially since his hair seems to have sorted itself out at long last!!

Btw I looked up the Leah’s actress’s age and she’s only a year older than me 😳

where’s it going anyway?!
Pregnancy scare I reckon.

The whole Justin-Leah thing is too cringey... where’s it going anyway?!

I seem to be the only one that's loving Lustin! I think Justin is a family man that lost years with his child, and now Leah can give him that - bring on the geriatric pregnancy!

Weird moment just then when Maggie commented on Lustin's 'young love' - but the Maggie actress is two years younger than the Leah actress!

OMG, in real life Justin is older than Leah! He does NOT look it.

That's crazy! Justin must be meant to be younger than 45 as otherwise he's over twenty years older than Mason.

Yeah, T was 30 a year or so ago, so say 32 now and there isn't a massive gap between them so i assumed he was meant to be say 37 now? Broany is maybe 27 and Mason about 22? So one every 5 years?

I assumed Justin was about 35 & Brody maybe 25 - they'd had 2 a couple of years apart & then 2 more a few years later. At any rate, Justin must be about 20 years older than Raffy so either their parents started very young or their mum was in her 40s when she had Raffy. I'm not sure we should analyse the Morgans' ages too closely... We might notice a plot hole or 2...!

Has anyone worked out how old Raffy was when their mum died? Presumably sufficiently old that "recent pregnancy" wasn't flagged on the autopsy. I got the impression though that Justin was still living at home & wasn't that old, I'd assumed maybe 18. That wouldn't work with him being 20y older than Raffy... I really wish soaps would think these things through properly & not mess with people's ages!

ok so the Morgans moved to summer bay in 2016 so the parents were killed in 2009. Raf was born in 2003.

Justin already had Ava cos he left them, but she was only a baby so maybe born 2008? so he wasn't at home.
So would work if he was 25 at the time of the murders (35 now) and Tori was 22 (turned 30 in 2017?) (not long finished Uni).
I guess Mason is 22 now as he's kinda Ziggy's age and not long finished Uni so would have been 11 at time of murders, and Brody maybe 15 so 25 now? I thought he was a few years older than Ziggy who is 21.

So
Justin 35
Tori 32
Brody 25
Mason 22
Raffy
16

I've just realised the counsellor looks familiar because he's been in Home and Away before. He was a detective around the time Charlie was still alive. There can't be many actors in Oz if they're recycling them after only a few years

You're right! The spoilers on Back to the Bay confused me, because they said that the detective he originally played, Robert Robertson, was returning, but he's come back as an entirely new character.

It's a bit weird, because the character he played was quite high profile and memorable - it's not as if he was some bit part generic cop with no lines or storyline. Robertson dated Leah and put Alf in jail! (Flamin' galah).

Oh that is weird!! Surely for the bit he did thry could have got any bit part actor

They love doing this; remember how the actor who played Raffy's dad was in it years ago as Luke (?), the long-haired guy who went out with Roxy? I wonder if the producers really think we don't notice these things...

I'm actually confused by it as I too saw the spoilers saying Robertson was back. Given he dated Leah and even asked her to leave with him it's odd how he's a new character. I started to think if he's not a new character but undercover and there's something more sinister going on but then I'm sure Jazzy's counselling sessions aren't that compelling.

Well it was weird and inappropriate to invite her ex in on the first session, so maybe there's something in it lol

Yeah I definitely thought that and I also thought it was odd how Robbo had to talk about his issues in her session. Not been to therapy before but surely that would only happen if it was joint therapy session?

On a different note; I gotta say I really don't like Bella. She's becoming annoying.
