Home and Away thread before Summer Bay gets locked down...

[SleepingStandingUp]

No spoilers blah blah blah

Didn't Nik have appetite suppressants a while ago from his model friend? I can't remember seeing them again. He looks a bit deranged doesn't he. Poor Bella having her big exhibition ruined by that pillock.

I love Ziggy and Dean together. I forgot they're a couple IRL. I want them to work things out 🤞🏻

I am finally up to date with it all after the summer (where I always get miles behind).

Have been raging at the screen over Nik's behaviour - thank God, Tane is trying to get him to see sense but in what world does a man think that the way to get his ex back is by stalking and harassing her and that that is OK? His petulant sense of entitlement is repulsive.

Am with everyone on the Chloe dislike - I can't wait until her Summer Bay redemption arc is complete and she finally has some smidgeon of something likeable about her (have been thinking over the photography storyline how well they've had Bella grow up slowly but surely over her time in the show).

Finally, can we have a shout-out for Emmett? An older man mentoring a younger woman without hitting on her in any way or demanding any kind of sexual payback? And genuinely wanting her to do well and pleased and proud when she does? Call me cynical, but this storyline has been one of the most refreshing ones I've seen on TV for a long time.

Yes good call re Emmet. I'd forgot that id been waiting for him to sleaze on her. Even his thing with Mac, he was pretty decent about it

You're so right about Emmett. It really is refreshing.

Nik is just appalling at the moment.

What the hell Ziggy? Such a horrible way to treat Tane. I like her and Dean together but not this way.

Ziggy doing that makes no sense when she is (rightly) so upset about people cheating- has she had a brain transplant?!

also points to Tane for calling Nik out on it and not backing him up

Can you believe he has a 13 to in real life?

@SleepingStandingUp

Yes - I love the way they’re having his character act in slightly unexpected ways - not being all possessive and controlling over Ziggy but giving her space; telling Nik what a dick he’s being and how he can’t act like that with women; not being weird with Mac but making friends with her and encouraging Ziggy to do the same…

Re his 13 year old daughter: he’s only 29 himself 😳

Yes indeed re Ethan.

And Tane. It def looked like he'd come in as the womanising neanderthal.

(Checks if its the spoilers thread. It isn't. Shuts up)

Urgh Chloe is just so annoying. I really hope she finds a job in the city or something.

I absolutely loved Cash and Jazzy flirting at the pool today. They would be lovely together.

Agree, Chloe is so arrogant imo. Not a fan

Argh I cannot cope with Dean in danger!!

Has anyone else ‘lost’ two episodes?
Mine went from Bella asking Nik for a walk to Deans car hanging over a cliff ...

Ohhhh I’ve chosen a good week to tune back in 👏 they’re ok 🙏

Yes, I thought it was me as I was catching up but I've searched everywhere and can't find the episode where Ari yells at Nik and Mia lures Dean to his possible death.

Looking at the episode numbers I think it’s two episodes that went missing
My friend who also watches says she had seen something about it on FB so think it’s quite a widespread thing

All the episodes seem to be on My5, that's how I watch it and haven't missed any.

Although I've enjoyed the drama of the car crash, I did think they were some of the most unbelievable scenes for a long while 😂

Car on the edge of a cliff, no one move! Except it's fine for Mia to climb in and out multiple times, and yes a branch hammered into the ground by a medically unfit person would obviously hold the weight of a whole car.

Why was Nik walking along the road? Surely he should have stayed beside the scene? Why didn't he just take that thick hoodie off if it was so hot?

Why did the helicopter land so far away? Why did the doc have to be winched down a grassy slope, but was ok to scramble about a teetering car/cliff edge without being attached?

So many questions

Seriously tho, I hope Nik and Dean are ok, I would be sad to see them go

It was odd, nik was meeting bella
Then next episode a car crashes.
I checkedon catch up and the other episodes were not there.
Doubt i missed much, just odd.

New Hot Doctor had far too many lines to be a brief character 👍

I thought that when I saw the trailer yesterday! He’s very pretty 🤩👏

Plus the tension with the female paramedic, there must be more coming.

Watching on 5star — Ari breaking down inf ring of Tane was awesome xx waiting to hear about dean and nik - hope dean survives 😢

Yes female paramedic was also very nice looking she’s going to fit right in ( as Tanes new gf?)

I thought that about the doc and paramedic too.

Although then half the cast would work in the hospital!
