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!

I feel quite nauseated at all the Jas/Robbo PDA's. They really are trying too hard to make them a believable couple before baby Robbo/Tory gets announced. I had imagined Tory's waters going at the wedding and baby-daddy identity being revealed then, but I think that too many people know or are about to guess (Leah/Irene/Mason) for it to go that long.

Brody and Simone on the other hand are a perfect combination of boring and annoying that are more believable than him and Ziggy.

Surely Tori will just take off when the bump gets to noticeable and return a year later with mini Robbo just as (hopefully) him and Jas’s marriage hits the rocks. I don’t buy Brody fancying Simone, Ziggy is annoying but pretty hot.

Haha yeah she's waaay hotter than Simone

Yes given her pregnancy in real life, I think she'll disappear when her bump can't be hidden from Robbo anymore, then she will reappear with a baby months later and try to convince everyone she used a donor.

Then the baby will get sick or something and she has to confess.

Way too invested here

Most unbelievable scenes this week: Dean saying Simone was hot and he was happy to chat her up regardless of investigating on Ziggy’s behalf! I’m sure the actress is perfectly nice and all but let’s not pretend she’s some hottie patottie all the local hunks would go crazy for 🙄 she looks a bit like she’s escaped from teaching the local hick kids in Little House on the Prairie, or a spare Walton!!

Just caught up after a week away. Still hate Simone, disliking brody more, Robbo is a fricking saint to put up with Jasmine. #teamZiggy

I think the ott displays of affection are to reinforce to Tori their relationship?

So, implant... Team Tori or Team Justin?

#TeamTori

Well on the basis that you shouldn't force someone to procreate with you if they don't want to. I'd go #team Justin on that one.

I do agree, and in real life I'd probably be saying the things Justin is. But its not and I'm still angry with him

Simone's hair reminds me of Demelza from Poldark. When I look at her all I see is Demelza so I'm baffled by everyone suggesting she's not attractive!

She is attractive but Brody falling for her, Dean willing to go e it a try, Mason being up for an attempt - you'd think she was an irresistible beauty not someone who's pretty and probably got a decent figure underneath the neck height clothes!

She’s not Summer Bay attractive though, rolling Cornish 18 century moors maybe, surf and sun ready, nah. She reminds me of a poor mans Jess Glynne. #teamJustin

Yeah if she was staying in it long term she'd end up with someone like Dean. She'd be stuffy and upright, keeping everyone at arms length and them Leah would crack the code and she'd make friends with the women folk, maybe even cue a girls night at Salt. She'd get drunk and she'd snog Dean after weeks of him flirting and her rejecting. They have crazy sex in his lmtin can of love and suddenly she'd become all free spirited

his tin can of love haha! (Imagines what that may be like...)

#TeamJustin

I know Tori is legally right and she's panicking about her fertility but jeeeeeez, could Robbo BE any more damaged as a result of his past? And she KNOWS how damaged he is, she knows how guilty he feels, she saw how finding out she was pregnant sent him crazy for a day or two (watching outside her house all night...)

And she's a doctor - first do no harm and all that - and yet she is so single mindedly focused on her own desire here that she's willing to take the risk of tipping a man back into full-on PTSD to get her own way.

That's not on.

Meh, he'll be fine. There will be a s reaming argument, she'll get a pain, he'll panic.

I think I might be a terrible person.

Plus she’s around 30 so why is she panicking?!

Only slightly off topic but have you all seen the trailer for Derry Girls season 2?

@Focalpoint I saw that advert on tv last night. The part where she quotes H&A theme made me chuckle.

She had fertility tests which said her egg supply was really low and basically she needed to do something. She could of course freeze her eggs but her relationship history is shit so I guess she's not holding out much hope for that either.

Given that it's TV so I don't REALLLY have to consider Robbo being forced into parenthood, I think I just recognise her desperation and he consented. He consented to make those little zygote or whatever they are and to leave her with control over them.

OK, REALLY important question - Dean has just run out of the sea after a surf, his phone beeps and he takes it out of the pocket of his board shorts! Is he really that good a surfer that he's not worried about it falling into the sea while he surfs??

Haha

Yes

And it's very wateeprood

Yes. He's the best surfer ever. Even in stormy seas he's like a sexy weeble.

I'm finding Dean quite handsome now that he is smiling and doing less of the "smell the fart" acting

Same here - he has lovely eyes and his hair’s a bit longer and curling round his face now... much better!

Ben needs a haircut though, his ears... err shall we say they suit a face framing cut 😬
