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

[SleepingStandingUp]

No spoilers blah blah blah

[SleepingStandingUp]

Ugh you have my sympathy having no real garden

[LHMBF]

Thanks Sleeping. This is the first place I've lived as well in 30 odd years with no garden so it makes me miss it more than usual, especially now with the lockdown and everything

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Have starting noticing the Maggie bump too! There's a pic on Digital Spy where she is standing facing Tori (so a profile shot) and it looks really clear when you see her compared to not-pregnant Tori.

(Feel really mean saying this because compared to the women on H&A, I ALWAYS look about sixteen months pregnant, but Maggie is definitely curvier than she was!)

[Cheeeeislifenow]

I think Ben is being quite unreasonable.. he should at least listen to Maggie, she supported him when he was awful to her.

[LHMBF]

Really don't like Robbo's mum, the way she snipes at Tori

[SleepingStandingUp]

Yeah I understand his anger though. If he's known about the sex it's unlikely the punch would have happened and he'd have not been essentially estranged from his family for 2 decades.

Yeah Tori would def be mn about her

[KatieKat88]

Sad for Jazzy. Grandma Robbo is a right cow, Tori needs to get her told. Although Tori being all 'oh Grace sleeps through the night now, I have energy for yoga' makes me want to punch her when my 7 month old is not affording me the same opportunities 😂

[SleepingStandingUp]

At least she acknowledged her body was feeling it tho. I reckon Penny having had her baby so soon, they were like "go do some lovely yoga" and she was "erm, no. I'll do a bit and moan I'm feeling it"

[KatieKat88]

Good point 😂

[Cheeeeislifenow]

Poor jazzy is she going to steal grace?
They never properly grieve in soaps do they? Even Mason's death was pretty much forgotten about barbone picture of him in the wall?

[KatieKat88]

She is 100% stealing that baby

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Colby is really uberweird about Bella being at the horse therapy place.

Love happy Justin and Leah.

[ChoccyJules]

Blimey, the slo-mo’s in the sea of Tane and Nic bore some resemblance to the ‘soft porn’ of the ball game in Top Gun!

Marilyn stole a baby once. Long time ago...

[SleepingStandingUp]

It was a bit over indulged. Its like the slo mos of Pierce whenever Naomi looks at him. I wonder the reaction if they had slo mos of Mac and Willow playing in the surf!

[Samcro]

i do like eyebrows(new guy) I want him to get with Roo.

[AiryFairy1]

I love how we all want Roo to get together with someone!

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Tane is quite beautiful

Could I be finally getting over my long period of mourning for Heath Braxton's departure?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Haha yeah every new many over 25, oooh can Roo have him???

She doesn't seem to get much luck, and I was really sad for her when she had the miscarriage

[CurbsideProphet]

I would love to see Roo happy 🙂 she's one of my favourites.

[ChoccyJules]

I like Roo too but I sometimes have flashbacks to nasty teenage bitchy Roo and can’t believe the character change.

I don’t understand the need for the two brothers in law to think they have to help bring up the nephew so closely. I know their brother died but his wife is more than capable. It’s odd how she doesn’t tell them to butt out and get a place for just her and her son. Is it supposed to be something to do with their different heritage (not sure what that is)?

[SleepingStandingUp]

They're Maori. Now admittedly all my Naoei experience is from Australia's Biggest Loser but I think it is quite traditional around the men providing, extended family being v involved, the oldest man being the head etc

[ChoccyJules]

I did wonder if that was the case. Thanks.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Also in my omaginery backstory M and G dated from teens and A was always the third peg with some girl or other so they're more like siblings than mumsnet bil/sil. A is older then M and feels bad thry went into that life together, he only did jail but M died so he feels extra responsibility. Maybe he even carried a torch for G back in the day.

T meanwhile always adored M and A but he was the baby bro, too little to join in. A went to jail and T followed in his footsteps to be like him and good enough. A comes out of jail a changed man and tries to change T who resents it because he's been gone so long, he's never good enough etc so all this with the moving away and now the house, it's T still proving himself to A bit he can't admit that even to himself.

And because G has been in Ts life forever she's def more like a sister than just the sil so he wants to look after her, step up for the brother he couldn't stop dying etc.

T is quite immature, I think they could have cast the actor younger but perhaps to get the right actor that wouldn't work, he doesn't look younger unlike Bella for example.

There no mention of their parents I'd there? A said about trying to get T on the right track etc but it's unclear if the parents are alive. I wodner if he could have been living with A and G in his teen years?

[AiryFairy1]

And T and N more like brothers as closer in age? I love G, she has a great relationship with N and can handle herself.
I do think T’s muscles look a bit overinflated though.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Yeah, Mac is crazy, Ari any day.

N is 19,
T actor is 28
G is late 30s? 38 would make her 19 when T was born
M somewhere between G and A
A is mid 40s
