Home and Away era Hanging out at Salt with Dean

[SleepingStandingUp]

New thread for H&A chatter natter. No spoilers on this one pls

My DH claims to find it all rubbish, but he knows who all the characters are and what's going on 😂

I watched today's episode yesterday. I can't believe that when the baddies showed up and asked the cop for his gun he just HANDED IT OVER. Surely cop school would have taught him some sort of move in that scenario?

Bella has gone completely over the edge now to steal random drugs from the hospital to make herself really ill, all just to stop her big bro from having a girlfriend. Christ. They need to get her into therapy pronto for these abandonment issues.

I thought Ziggy was leaving to do this race car thing hours away, so why does she keep popping up?

Is the cop with Jazzy the mole who has double crossed Robbo and arranged for Lance to be killed?

@CurbsideProphet I thought that too. Either that or he's the worst personal protection ever!

Did anyone else think there was a little pointer when Tori asked Scott about his family? He said it had been very difficult... Maybe he's going to be Grace’s new stepdad!

I think Scott's been lying about having a family, hence why he said it was difficult!

Ooooo, todays was properly gripping, and the Robbo storyline to date has left me a bit cold.

@CurbsideProphet yes, judging by today's episode, you're right 😂😂

I did wonder if the protection officer was a bad guy, or just bad at his job.

I suspected Mason would die based on how happily he said goodbye to everyone. Also suspected Scott would be the baddie when he was talking about his family & also how keen he was for Robbo to spend time with Jasmine & Grace before they went off to do the interviews... I think his family have either been kidnapped or he's been threatened with the same thing happening to his family as Robbo's first family. He cares about Robbo, hence letting him have one last visit with his wife/daughter before he plans to kill him.

What are the baddies at the hospital waiting for? Surely if they were there for Jasmine they'd have got it over with by now. I'd have thought because I'm totes an expert in criminal psychology they'd want to bump her off & mock Robbo with her death before they killed him. Also, why is nothing happening to Tori/Grace? I know they're not witnesses but surely the grudge has gone beyond who are the witnesses now & they'd just be trying to hurt Robbo?!

Did Dean seriously say that everyone they loved was in there while Willow & Ziggy stood outside frantic about their safety?!

I also thought that killing Jazzy / Tori and Grace would have been more of a punishment for Robbo.

Scott could have chucked him out of the car and driven himself off a cliff if he was so worried about being banged up. Or he could have rung the baddies to pretend Robbo was dead and immediately driven to his family and gone into hiding.

Yes Dean did seem to forget about Willow and Ziggy! Poor Willow has always treated Dean and Colby like brothers, what a way to repay her.

I now need to know why Scott said that cop protecting Jazzy had started the whole thing. What does he have to do with anything? I did laugh when Robbo said in a frustrated manner something like "are there any cops who aren't corrupt? "

Wow, what a week! I’m often quick to rip the piss out of H&A but when they do disaster week, they do it well and they’re never scared to kill off a big character 😔 no new life in Perth for Mason 😭

I have noticed they quite like to kill off ‘nice guy’ characters, do you remember when poor old Oscar was blown sky high at the caravan park party?! I really liked the direction they took Mason in after his initial curly top twattery, I’m sad he’s gone ☹️

Loving Mack in the siege, she was very Dean-esque in her backchat to the baddies, also loved Dean and Colby’s action hero stuff. H&A love a bit of Die Hard style drama... shame I didn’t watch it with DH, he might’ve actually enjoyed that episode 😆

Bit weird that no one is more worried about Leah eh?! Never gone for longer than a quick cash n carry run to Yabbie Creek before, suddenly AWOL for over a week 😕 Anyone told Veej his mum’s mug is currently gracing Missing Persons posters all over the bay??

Anybody else hoping Bella won't make it?

If Bella makes it she better have a compete personality transplant.

@Fi1982 yes H&A do go all in when they have their big disasters!

Colby to jasmine: I'll get you a police escort

Yeah great, thanks they've been great so far

Colby and Sarge are the only reliable coppers in the state!

I found today's episode genuinely quite moving

For all the Brax fans - he's in the BBC 1 2.15pm prog Five Bedrooms. I've just switched off H&A and when the telly went back to BBC 1 there he was 😍😀 Unfortunately I have to log back on for work now, but I'm sure it's on I player 🙂

I sobbed in today's episode. Love Tori's character, so glad the actress is back from mat leave.

I loved Brax with all my heart... Will deffo watch Five Bedrooms! The actress in it looks familiar too - does she play Justin's ex-partner/Ava's mother in H&A?

Today's episode had me in floods of tears 😭 Jasmine when she was trying to wake Robbo 😭

In bits on catch up 😢 everyone involved in that episode did a great job.

I watched it on 5* yesterday and was desperate to update on here, but had to hold my tongue/typing 😩

Sobbing like a baby, excellent acting all round and such a sad ending for Robbo, a character of Shakespearean tragic proportion.

Genuinely felt exhausted and weak after the past few episodes! Roll on some boring shite about the bait shop or rates going up at the surf club... I need a break 😆

Jasmine isn't my favourite but she acted her socks off. And Colby. I cried lol.
I liked robbo

I also thought Dr Alex was excellent. I hope she stays. Great team effort!

Dr Alex will keel over with exhaustion soon, she wasn’t even sent home after the siege poor woman.

She's dedicated to her job to the extreme!

I'm fast forwarding the Jade storyline at the moment. I find her unbearable and unbelievable.

Alf and Martha are lovely together. What an old romantic he is!

That’s so funny Curb I’m FF Martha n Alf (Malf 😆), their storyline really pisses me off! Ailsa airbrushed from history, plus I’m finding them quite self-involved... people have been murdered, Leah’s missing and Alf’s stomping around like a spurned teenager!

takes H&A way too seriously

The Jade SL is definitely unbearable, although interesting they had Ryder mention he phoned Raffy... bet he’s wishing he hadn’t been such a ‘dog’ to her now 😆 get over it Fi1982 seriously even the actress doesn’t give a fuck

Please let the Jade thing be over quickly. Someone with eyes in their head wound have called her out for not acting entirely traumatised by what she’s gone through by now. She met new guy and within hours they were like an established couple.

Although in fairness the handful of cast have been busy of late.
