Home and Away era Hanging out at Salt with Dean

[SleepingStandingUp]

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

[SleepingStandingUp]

Erm that's be a bit weird wouldn't it?

[Starburst8]

They can't recast Morag! They'll have to get another lawyer type character if they want to bring one in.

[Uhtredswoman]

OMG - I didn't understand what you meant about recasting so Googled Morag 😥

[Starburst8]

Yeah it's so sad. She's definitely missed in these storylines 🙁

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Uhtredswoman - you have FINE taste in men, btw. DH & I have been having catching up with that lately, and I swear the actual plot is just gibberish to me because Uhtred is so damn mesmerising to look at

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

have been catching up - see, I can't even write in coherent sentences when I think about him 😳

[sparklefarts]

Well yes now that I'm aware she is dead it'd would seem weird.

Clearly, I was not aware

[SleepingStandingUp]

@sparklefarts she hasn't died in the show so wasn't sure if you meant do it all off screen

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross you need to watch Vikings for Rollo

[Uhtredswoman]

@SleepingStandingUp yes, Vikings!❤️ Ragnar doesn't hold a candle to
Uhtred, but he's good enough to watch while I wait for the new series (and stalk Alexander Dreymon on Instagram 😂).

@onlylivingboyinnewcross why thanks - always good to be recognised for my man-taste!

[SleepingStandingUp]

We gave up Kingdom for Vikings as I got too confused. Ragnar reminds me of sisters ex so def not hot, I'm all #TeamRollo 😂

[AiryFairy1]

Oh I so enjoyed the scenes with Dean and his mum today, it seemed such a natural dynamic between them 👍

[SleepingStandingUp]

Rather mean of me, but I quote liked her and Pa Astoni too mwahahahaha

[ChoccyJules]

I know Irene would have a wistful look at the bay before going off to face her fate but it looked a bit like a goodbye to me, do we think she’ll be convicted?

[AiryFairy1]

Ah nooo don’t say Irene will get locked up 😱 that would be an awful miscarriage of justice
Re Pa Astoni and Karen - it would spice up that storyline no end 😬

[CurbsideProphet]

I'm back from honeymoon! No evil ex wife spoiled the wedding and so far no young relative needing to move in suddenly with no warning. All very mundane compared to Summer Bay standards

I had to cancel the series link, so I've just got Thursday and Friday to watch. I'm unsure how Robbo suddenly got to the stage of hypnosis, but that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Congratulations! Hope you had a fab day and a fab honeymoon, despite the lack of any drama (did you check the new Mr Curbside VERY carefully for "blood and sand" tattoos?? )

[SleepingStandingUp]

@CurbsideProphet yay.

Basically Tori has finally been replaced, but with someone edgier and seemingly cooler. Jazzy spilled her guts about why she has a security guard at work with her (totes appropriate in a frigging hospital) to the new cool doc and she basically offered to hypnotise him

[AiryFairy1]

Congratulations Curbside!

The hypnosis was to try help him to remember That Day On The Boat ... and it basically worked as he’s realised Dylan Carter Is Alive ... da da daaah 👀

[CurbsideProphet]

I can confirm there is no blood and sand tattoo on my new DH

At least the Robbo storyline is speeding up. The Astoni storyline has barely moved on in 2 weeks as far as I can see!

[CurbsideProphet]

Pretty soon Justin is going to be the only Morgan left.

Poor Jazzy. Her relationship with Robbo is most believable now that they're facing impending doom and never seeing each other again. Can someone point me towards any spoilers?

[AiryFairy1]

Agree re Jazzy and Robbo... I might’ve shed a very wee tear, even!
I read ahead on BacktotheBay, but this storyline seems unresolved thus far. I think @AhoyDelboy is in Australia so they might have some insight.
Might be worth checking on the Spoilers thread though.

[Fi1982]

Congrats Curbside! Hope you had a great honeymoon.

Yes mercifully the Robbo storyline is moving on, complete with hilarious tying to chair by Mason scene (dunno if you caught that episode). Loved Jazzy skipping out of the room grinning like she was watching a stag do prank, rather than a hunted woman who’s husband was about to relive terrible past trauma to try and save their lives. More stellar acting from Sam Frost there!

Speaking of stellar acting, Ben went a bit off piste wandering around the Astoni household (sorry if that’s a 5* epi, my Sky+ seems to have gone bonkers and starting recording them)... did anyone else notice the weird scene of him wandering around in slo-mo looking like he’d just shit his pants with no warning? Plus Mackenzie was pulling some weird-ass face while her identity was being revealed to Karen, I think the actress was having a bit of trouble manoeuvring her face for some reason definitely not a fresh batch of Botox I wish she’d stop she doesn’t need it

[SleepingStandingUp]

Ah frig, it's gonna be Lance isn't it.

[CurbsideProphet]

Thank you Fi I did see that episode and was baffled

SleepingStandingUp yes there must be a reason why he's always popping up then disappearing off. Usually when a new character appears they're either going to move in with Irene and leave their old life behind, or they're a baddie

[SleepingStandingUp]

I think Ben was realising everything he'd missed and risked losing
