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!

Ooh imagine of Irene had taken her. They could have dien the session on how she used to be an alcoholic abusive mother whose kids ran from her

I gotta say I really don't like Bella. She's becoming annoying.

I've been hating her behaviour for a while now. Colby should have left her with Ross - she seemed happy enough there!

Can’t believe they recycled Robert Robertson, and made him some boring simpering counselor 😱 the actor and character are too good to be wasted this way. Booooo. He had loads more chemistry with Leah than Justin too... Talk about paving the way to make them the new boring Caravan Park house couple. They’ll probably just chuck Justin a few of Zak’s old scripts to save time.

Tori needs to bog off, she’s awful ATM. Was nice to see Brogey show his true colours to Simoan, just shows how little they know each other, despite their shared ‘dream’ 🤢

AppropriateAdult I noticed this with Luke/Raffy’s dad too... Luke was some cool dude teacher who played sax and had a girlfriend called Roxy... they probably just recycled their scripts for Bianca and Liam a few years ago now I think of it 😝

Can’t believe I’ve been watching H&A for over 30 fucking years 😂

I reckon/ hope Robert Robertson is under cover... he was too interested in Robbo!

Also, I thought there’s a rule/law about a doctor treating family and friends? It’s very strange that Tori always seems to shoo other medics away when it’s someone she knows. All this talk of Raffy’s mythical “medical team” 🤔

I reckon/ hope Robert Robertson is under cover... he was too interested in Robbo!

Maybe, but he must be ‘deep undercover’ 😝 as Tori recommended him to Jazzy Jeff... how long does one have to practice as a fake psychotherapist before revealing his true colours? He must’ve built up a good fake client base to come recommended 🧐

But yes totally agree about Tori giving a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘family doctor’, she wasn’t even on duty and she’s grabbing stethoscopes off random extras and charging in to Raffy’s cubicle... what a load of crap! Doctor on duty would be like ‘Do you mind?!’

Yes maybe you’re right re Robert/Aiden... I just think it’s sloppy to reuse actors that we all remember quite clearly in other character roles!!
And Bella is also annoying me now ... I don’t know many/any troubled 16 year olds but I’m pretty sure they don’t obsess over their older brother’s friends’ relationships as much 😈
I’ve been watching it for nearly 20 years! The family I remember from that start were the Sullivans... Beth and Rhys, with the twins Dani and Kirsty 😅, and Noah and Hayley 😍 I cried when Noah died!!

*Sutherlands, not Sullivans

Tori's doing my head in with the holier than thou act. It's perfectly ok to go and have a baby behind someone's back but it's not ok to make oil that will help little sis out. 

Bella is annoying simples. Her bratty attitude needs to up and leave. Obsession with Dean is a bit weird too!

@AiryFairy1 didn't the Sutherland's make an appearance back in the 2000's? I remember most of the characters annoying me from that era so stopped watching.
Dare I admit it... I've been watching (took a brief hiatus during the crap characters time) for 30+ years

Yes, @Starburst8 that’s the beginning I meant - when I first started watching regularly. Sorry I didn’t phrase it very well!!

I've been watching since it started when I was a kid.
Bella is annoying me now

I'm pretty sure I've been watching since Episode 1 - I remember a row in our house because we were devoted Neighbours viewers at the time and certain factions didn't want to give this new Aussie soap a chance... I also had a bit of a hiatus in the early 00s when I was at uni, but I came back to it again and never miss it now.

There are some very early episodes on you tube if you want a trip down memory name. Reminded me of my enormous teenage crush on Alan Fisher. Probably the first to die on the beach.

What surprised me is how he looked liked and actual teenager - not muscly in the slightest and wore a wet suit to go surfing.

but it's not ok to make oil that will help little sis out erm I dunno. What she did was morally questionable, without a doubt. But was entirely legal and what he signed up for.
Meanwhile having had a bad history with drug addiction in the family, the not quite a doctor is now boiling up cannabis to give to the 15(?) yo from an online recipe and keeping it a secret from everyone. Thank god they don't know she took too much that one time.
I think I'd be pretty pissed off that he'd gone against the two, I assume, legal Guardians to give her back garden drugs

Right, so Ziggy and Dean drove for hours all through the night to reach the rally, they find Bella in the boot with 20 mins until the start of the race, phone Colby and yet Colby manages to do the journey before the race starts I.e. in 20 minutes!

Doesn't add up at all.

And they have to stay overnight in a motel and flights? to get home 😂

Colby got a flight out there. He said to Willow about flying out there. I was amazed how he managed to get a flight at short notice.
I assumed he hired the car he was driving... again amazing given the short notice.

All I kept thinking was, did Bella not need a wee at some point?!

And how come her phone rang noisily and surprised her when Willow phoned, but Colby had already phoned her several times, so she would have already turned it off earlier.

Yeah but even with getting a flight out there Colby would no way be able to get to the airport, check in, fly, hire a car and be with Bella in 20 minutes. The organiser of the rally said route details would be announced in 20 mins. And then they discovered Bella and phoned Colby.

All I kept thinking was, did Bella not need a wee at some point?! sheddef just pee herself then blame them

they find Bella in the boot with 20 mins until the start of the race watching it now. When thry found brat organiser said a few hours. 20 minutes to start was when he turned up.

Ah OK, that makes a bit more sense Standing, but still, Colby got there ridiculously quick!

You'd have thought Colby would've installed tracking software in her phone by now! I'd have done it the first time she ran off.
