Blimey! You'd think Sally would get the message and move out of Summer Bay by now wouldn't you?

Its fraught will danger for her! She's lost a husband, family, been in all the fire/air/cave disasters and now good old Alf has knocked her dd over!

lol....thing is...how come that Pippa was severely injured, because, I mean, it wasn't like she was knocked down in speed or anything...I really can not imagine such great damage being done by being simply bumped in....

wannaBe · 07/01/2008 22:04

she is leaving.

pinkbubble · 07/01/2008 22:07

Crumbs is she still in it! I haven't watched it in years, can't believe she is still there , oh and Alf and Pippa (are they the same actors?

3andnomore · 07/01/2008 22:07

oh no...I like Sally...don't want her to leave

ScaryHairy · 07/01/2008 22:08

Once you've fallen out with Alf it really is the beginning of the end...

wheresthehamster · 07/01/2008 22:10

Again - is Pippa still in it? And is she the original blonde one or the dark one or someone completely different?

But isn't Summer Bay the most depressing, dangerous place you could ever live? And the mortality rate must be about 25! I don't actually watch it very often, but my friend is a huge fan and Sky+ every day! She gets really involved!

wannaBe · 07/01/2008 22:16

pippa is the name of sally's dd. conceived through surrogacy with Leah as the surrogate mother - didn't watch for about 5 years and managed to catch up .

agree though that summer bay is a weird place, none of the children live with their parents, and generally disaster always strikes after a birth. hmmm now let's see...

pippa has baby and she dies of sids
angel falls pregnant and shane dies
sally has baby and flyn dies
Leah has baby and vinny goes to jail.
Marilyn has baby, develops pnd and disappears for 6 months. comes back and baby is then diagnosed with cancer and dies.
chloe has baby and .. that doctor she was with develops brain tumour and ... dies.

hmmm my advice to all of them would be to never get pregnant.

3andnomore · 07/01/2008 22:19

lol..typical soap...just like the rest of them...but I prefer the sunny climate!

ScaryHairy · 07/01/2008 22:21

Ah no, in fairness it is possible to have a baby in Summer Bay with no death (e.g. Hayley and Tasha) but for that there has to be confusion - lasting months and involving switched hospital records or date rape drugs- as to the child's paternity.

Otherwise you end up like Kit (has baby, mother dies on her way back from the airport having flown in to see her)

turquoise · 07/01/2008 22:21

Remember when the ghost of Bobby appeared in Ailsa's fridge? LOL!

Don't think I've seen it since those days, but can't believe Sally's still there.

wheresthehamster · 07/01/2008 22:25

I think I might start watching again. So we've still got Sally (for now), Alf. Anyone else. Donald Fisher? Irene?

Original poster

MaureenMLove · 07/01/2008 22:26

Irene is still there. Taking in all the strays and calling everyone 'girlie' That drives me nuts!

OP posts:

ScaryHairy · 07/01/2008 22:28

Donald Fisher came back for a bit and then seems to have gone again.
Morag pops up now and again (yay!).

wheresthehamster · 07/01/2008 22:29

What - original Morag? Alf's sister?

ScaryHairy · 07/01/2008 22:30

Yup, original Morag (Bobby's mother IIRC)

NorthernLurker · 07/01/2008 22:32

poor sally - so is the child dead then - I'm really glad I've haven't seen it for about 15 years - doesn't sound like the most cheerful watch. Makes EastEnders look trivial and comic!

Original poster

MaureenMLove · 07/01/2008 22:41

Yeah, I think she's dead. It was the cliff hanger (possibly not the best description, given that we're talking about Summer Bay!) Internal bleeding sadly. The truck did hit her at almost 3 mph, afterall!

OP posts:

NorthernLurker · 07/01/2008 22:45

Oh that's awful then - as if there isn't enough misery in the world with terrible things happening to children every day - that rollcall somebody posted below was just epic in its badness! I don't know how you regular viewers have survived!

3andnomore · 07/01/2008 23:15

exactly...what with Brad being such an arse after she stood him up, and her dealing with all the other dramas...and god...then there is all the otehr dramas...but, nope, no worse the eastenders....like I said, at least the climate is fab

wannaBe · 08/01/2008 11:10

what happened with brad? have been without sky for three weeks so missed some. last I saw was when Cassie went to the city to be with hank, and then yesterday.

MerlinsBeard · 08/01/2008 11:15

blimey is this still on?!

I used to watch it from the very first one until they stopped showing it on ITV.

Sally has been in for ever, poor girl will probably never work again so its no wonder she is still in it! She was about 8 or something when she started!!

Didn't Alf have a heart attack and die? Can't believe Irene is in it still!

I really wanted their school uniform

Do they still have the surf club and bonza burger and erm the diner?

coppertop · 08/01/2008 12:31

Summer Bay should be twinned with Erinsborough. They must surely both be the disaster capitals of Australia.

At least poor little Pippa hasn't vanished altogether like VJ has. No-one's seen him for years.

3andnomore · 08/01/2008 13:12

Alf didn't die mumofmonsters...but he does have a dicky ticker!
Diner is still there
Lol at wanting that schooluniform...

Copper, every now and then VJ is on the scene...but Pippa wasn't seen much for a fair while, only recently has she been on more...

wannabe, Brad and Sally did not get married, Sally stood him up at the Altar....he was not well impressed, obviously, and broke the relationship off....Sally just wanted to keep things as they were, bless her, she loves Brad but didn't want to marry him, because she felt it would betray Flynn (or some such thing).
Jonah (Michael now) is back on the scene, and it looks like Martha and him might get together.
Oh Brad and his sis recently found out that they have a halfsis through their dad's affair, and that halfsister was dumped on them, as the mum had to go into detox...and that little sister is quite a handful....
