Home and Away thread: everyone to Salt for one of Ryder's cocktails

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

New thread here so that we can continue discussing everything important in the Bay: who is hotter - new police officer or potential new doctor? Will new doctor BE new doctor or was that brief superhero moment all we get?

Will Tori and Christian ever get married and by now, how many of us really care? And what next for the Tane/Ziggy/Dean triangle?

Grab a seat, place your cocktail orders, hope that Annoying Chloe doesn't show up, and get chatting!

Im
confused by Sleeping and Sheeping... same user/ name change? I thought I was imagining it in my Covid delirium.

Haha no sorry, same one. I have a very awesome sheep thread that made it to classics so I changed it and then forgot.

It confused me so much 😂
especially with my fever I thought I was seeing things incorrectly. I stared at your username for awhile 😂

Haha sorry, you need to go read my sheep thread, it'll cheer yo up

Will you link to your thread @SleepingStandingUp ?@SleepingStandingUp ? I'll need something to read while I'm pretending to work today after spending the night awake feeling too hot! 😴

Surely all they needed to do was say something like, please can Chloe only stay over two or three times a week? It doesn't need a total ban.

And how come you can reenlist in the army and just leave your old job within hour's notice? I know Australia may have different employment laws from us,but even so....

Ah thanks for the link I couldn’t find it in search
who knew there was so much to sheep

Yes re Logan re enlisting immediately. And Xander does seem to have attachment issues.

Exactly. Why wasn't Justin at work so Theo could make out with his gf on the couch like a normal teen? Or even "I'm not being funny but surely you have more freedom at Chloes, its OK with us of you want to sleep over there"

It was bizarre to watch him instantly attaching himself to the next woman he brought into the hospital, as if he’s learned nothing at all from the whole Millie debacle. Either he’s really not very bright at all or he has some kind of problem. Red flags all over the place!

I'm a day behind as I physically couldn't watch anything related to beach weather yesterday 🥵😭😂 Oh come on Xander, latching onto another vulnerable woman?!

I watched Byron and Nic in the pool at night I neighbour with envy

Re Logan leaving, remember that it's some sort of Summer Bay bylaw that if you're leaving, then you must do so the very next day. But do not fear, your friends and family will be able to organise a lovely going away party at a moment's notice, complete with decorations and with everyone in attendance (apart from maybe a couple of significant people who just aren't there, but never get mentioned)

I've just watched yesterday's episode and pondering Xander's behaviour. Perhaps some sort of saviour complex where every time he sees a vulnerable woman he needs to be the knight in shining armour. Obviously stemming from a previous life experience. He's coming across as creepy / needy / lacking in critical thinking.

I don't understand why Leah is annoyed with Justin when she's the one who arranged the weird lunch to tell Chloe to stop spending so much time at their house.

So is that Logan gone then!? I hope he comes back! I really like him and Mac as a couple and just him in general 😂 The whole Xander and Rose thing is weird with regards to their Mum. Like no mention of her by Jasmine given she was married to her Dad and could provide some insight into him 🤔

Re Logan, they announced his departure a similar time to Jasmine's and its short on his contract so I wonder if its a covid jab thing

It almost certainly was: it was announced he was leaving just after Channel 7 made it mandatory for all employees to be vaccinated. That’s why he got such an abrupt departure (and probably why he didn’t get the traditional leaving party 😂)

Was sad to see Bella go, and Logan. Shame, I liked him.

@FluWorldOrder that's a really good point - did Xander and Rose's mum know about Jasmine / can she shed any light on why her dad never tried to find her 🤔

I'm sure they said no else Mom would have taken her. Which makes Dad even worse. But yes with all the coming and going to the city, I'm suprised she hasn't met her at least off screen

I might have missed a comment about Rose and Xander's Mum. Just remember thinking this is so weird why isn't Jasmine asking about their Mum, can she meet her etc.

Chloe is beyond painful. I'm sure the actress wasn't this bad at the start!

There'll be no characters left soon! Recently lost Ari and Mia as well. Now Logan and Bella. Is that Bella gone for good as well!? Oh and Ryder..

Today looks good 🥴😬 will probably watch that now. I have to say I do miss watching it as a nightly programme in Australia though (now live in the UK) we used to get three episodes on a Thursday. It was my favourite night 😂

Oh @FluWorldOrder you must miss Australia? I would love to live there 😍

I’m a bit behind but I quite liked the older bossy grumpy doctor (even though he was wrong with his dx) - is Xander going to pack his paramedic job in to study medicine 🤔

I'm team grumpy doctor even if he was wrong solely because Xander is sanctimonious and annoying! He needs to get some people skills.
