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]

What happened last time you watched it?

Jasmine has been kidnapped and rescued, now Robbo is missing..

Willow got kissed by Doc Alex and liked it.

Irene was guilty but got a good behaviour bind, then EvilGuy was gonna sue her so Therese from the Support Group killed him.

Martha is back. Raffy is gone (drugs trial).

[CurbsideProphet]

Mason is still waiting to find out if he's moving away for an internship, or if Dr Alex can get him one at Northern Districts.

Tori is still pregnant and still in witness protection.

Colby looks hotter than he used to.

Ben still looks tortured and miserable over his possibly being blamed for drugs in his big order of surfboards.

Mason Orpheus is still waiting to find out if he's moving away for an internship getting his contract renewed

Ben still looks tortured and miserable over his possibly being blamed for drugs in his big order of surfboards.

Depression means your fringe goes long and flat is what I've learned from this storyline.

Am a bit behind myself; just watched that long run of episodes you were all talking about earlier where Jazzy has been kidnapped by two gun-toting, leering criminals and literally NO-ONE in the Bay apart from Robbo (who appears to be frantically looking for her in...the spare room at the police station?) gives a shit. They barely seem to notice she's gone.

[Sux2buthen]

Bens getting right on my nerves.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Hey, Willow had 5 minutes where she looked concerned before going all Bea from Neighbours!

I think they're gonna pull Ben's depression into a king story, rather than "a bad thing happened, I got depressed but now I'm totally OK"

[Blobby10]

Thank you everyone! I managed to get the channel 5 episode last night so feel generally caught up. So fed up with the Jas/Robbo storyline and how long has Tory been pregnant for? It feels like years!

So sad to see Raffy go - she was a great actress. Getting a bit fed up with Bella and her 'tude towards anyone who crosses her or her brother. She's almost as bad at interfering as Leah is!

How long do we think they will drag the Ben/Maggie storyline out for?

[ChoccyJules]

I wondered if the Tori actress had had the baby and was wearing a pretend bump to greet Jasmine...?

[Uhtredswoman]

I thought that too@ChoccyJules !!

Her bump didn't seem to have grown in all that time, and it would make sense for her to have had her real baby in that time 👶

[ChoccyJules]

I looked it up, she had baby in March. So even though we are behind I assume today’s bump was fake.

[SleepingStandingUp]

I think they prob just filmed all her bits out of sync before she went off.

How do we feel about Scott being back??

[kateandme]

Ratty was so good☹
Bella is getting really quite controlling

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Tori's bump had seemed to get smaller, so I assumed it was a fake one.

[CurbsideProphet]

I can't work out whether Scott and Lancs are just bit part goodies who will disappear once it's all resolved, or if they're secretly proper baddies

How far in advance do they film H&A / how far behind are we?

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

I want Scott and Lance to become regular characters. Now Robbo and Dean are all loved up, we need some more men to go around!

[SleepingStandingUp]

Colbes will be single soon at this rate

[Fi1982]

Err, I’m confused...

Wtf happened with Robbo and DylanCarterAllOneWord in that weird dungeon in today’s episode?! One minute Robbo was chained up like a dog with no hope of escape, next minute he’d ‘overpowered’ DCAOW and was kind of cuddling him on the floor with his foot chain kind of loosely draped about DCAOW’s chest...? And then the random henchmen kind of backed off, and the promo showed DCAOW chained up next time, with Robbo calling the shots?? Can anyone enlighten me 😂

Not very pleased that the first mention Kat’s had in months was just part of a mind game twixt Robbo and DCAOW. It’s like Robbo never loved her, he talks about her so casually! Wanker.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Not seen it, now intrigued!!

[Cherrypie32]

The arrival of head changed Ava reminded me how crap the youth of Home & Away has become. Misog Bella and self obsessed Ryder when there used to be a great cast of teens. I thought Ava had a massive problem with Leah last time she appeared but a personality transplant has obviously come too. A convenient new project for John and Maz right there then.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Nah they made peace

[Fi1982]

I agree Cherrypie, Ryder has turned in to a self obsessed knob, going on about his job and his car non-stop... did he even pop round to support Bells at any point during the Tommy trial? Don’t see him giving much of a shit that his ‘best friend’/dicked on girlfriend Raffy has gone either.

Bells-end is as loveable as ever this week, baring her teeth at everyone like a rabid dog 😂

What was everyone’s best teen group? I quite liked the Romeo, Indi, Dex, April, Ruby and Casey group, even though Ruby and April both had tendencies to be selfish twats. At least there was a group, with proper storylines, rather than a couple of saddos with no other friends, either getting bullied relentlessly by some rent-a-bitch at school, or hanging out at the diner with a bunch of pensioners 😕

[Fi1982]

Also Dex was genuinely funny and had a real personality, rather than just a cipher for whatever SL was being shoehorned in that week.

[Fi1982]

Curbside I think they film about three months in advance.

I also wonder where they’re going with Lance, Scott etc. I still think Lance is going to stitch him up, it could be a really good showdown episode (rather than homoerotic dungeon caresses with DCAOW 😂)

[SleepingStandingUp]

They do def need a good batch of teen castings, the problem is The Big House is now Alf, Roo and Leah plus Ryder so no room, the Astoni's sent theirs away, the Morgan packed theirs off too, Marilyn could take 2 I guess. But there's no other families or houses going spare.
Leah could move into the Morgan House and Roo could find a man to lure into the Cult of SB with a couple of teenagers. That'd bump the numbers up

[CurbsideProphet]

Leah's house that had a fire and was never mentioned again could be restored!
