Home and Away, fancy a pizza and a beer at Salt? We can set the Bay to rights on the balcony...

So Zig and Dean have left, leaving lonely Mack with just Mali to walk in on in the bathroom. Remi loves Bree and Cash loves Eden, Tane married Flic and Leah hasn't dumped Justin yet. Kirby loves Theo and that's about it.

But who'll love who by page 40....

Yes. I think they are - unironically - coming back "in".
It seems now that this character is growing in the rest of the facial hair, so it's looking a little less like a moustache and two-day growth.
I don't know though - facial hair on doctors just looks a bit off to me.

And as for Bree and her fashion choices! She came back out to see Remy ad looked as though she had just got dressed - yes, I know it's the "French tuck" thing, but it looked really bad. Together with not just long sleeves, but those cuffs that come down over your hands! She is beautiful and (acts) a skilled physician - but, with her and (now we discover) Eden's long lost brother.... They looked like Dress Down Friday at Northern Districts.

Long lost brother? Sorry, I'm a few episodes behind, haven't had chance to catch up yet. I saw on the H&A Instagram account something about wait till Eden finds out about the Dr and someone, she'll be furious and I thought why would Eden care? So this new dr is her brother?

Yes he is Eden’s estranged brother. He chose his father and that meant they never saw each other again!

Ah ok, thanks, looking forward to catching up now

@strugglingwithlife Oops, sorry. I don't think it was much of a secret for very long even in the programme, but I didn't mean to spoil. Sorry again.

@BadMotorhomeParent it's ok, my own fault for reading the thread before getting caught up, not to worry :)

So tane will think that the ex social worker is amazing as she is forgiving of felicity.

As an aside just watched Neighbours and after it they’re showing Bluewater high which seems to be an exact copy oh home and away from 2005!

Anyone see the trailer off first look Thursday?

The only trailers I've seen involve an infant

Yes that one!

I've messaged you on the spoiler thread

Oo thank you!

Bree’s fashion is very interesting! I always wonder what made them choose these weird pastel, blocky shirts for her.

I really like Mac’s stylish wardrobe and used to love Jazz’s cute outfits.

I think Leah has the most outdated look!

CPR on a bouncy bed?

Yes, thought that was really poor.

Considering he is/was a paramedic should have known better. He could have easily lifted her onto the floor! Why do they do some storyline well by researching thoroughly and then have an obvious doh 🤦🏼‍♀️moment like that?

She's bloody gorgeous so I think they're trying to understate it given her history with her ex.

I love Macs bright orange shorts and jacket. It shouldn't work but it looks so good

Yeah Jazz always looked cute, no idea how she never flashed her knickers in those short outfits 🤣

Oh the drama of Friday's episode! Anyone else still watching?

I watch it on alternate day (2 episodes each times, so am yet to see Friday's. Will come back after I have seen it; sounds interesting!

😱yes!
didnt see that coming at all! Surely that’s not happening?

I've not watched in ages but want to try and get back into it . Couldn't someone catch me up with where things are with Leah and Justin? I still have my irrational hatred of The Band, so not really bothered what they're all up to!

Lean and Justin are trapped in the disused warehouse
Justin was injured whilst trying to find a way out. Whilst he is laying there Leah asks him to marry her. He says yes.
Leah spots a way out And climbs up and out. But collapses on the roadside.
Justin appears to her and urges her to get up. She does and is found by a driver.

Justin is rescued But is in a bad way. Bree tells Leah to say her goodbyes.

This bit I forget - somehow Justin survives and recovers.

They start planning the wedding.
However Leah is not sleeping and is having nightmares.
She crashes the car after running a red light.
Then has an episode in the cafe where she believes Justin is from the cult and is trying to take her to them. She’s holding a knife. Justin being the oaf that he is doesn’t calm the situation down and keeps moving towards Leah who is losing it badly. Theo turns up and calls bree. Who calms Leah down.
Leah is shocked at what she’s done and asks for help when in hospital. She goes away to a residential facility to recover.

The wedding is called off by Leah Indefinitely

It’s worth catching up I think. The band stuff is minimal currently. More stories around the members rather than the band as a whole.

I’m a couple of weeks behind but still enjoying it all. I wouldn’t say I’m engrossed in the storylines in the way I used to be but there’s enough characters that I enjoy watching for it to be a nice little distraction while ironing or similar!

I really struggle with both Leah and Roo - I find the characters really unsympathetic and selfish, and dislike the fact that they’re pushed as the ‘heart of the Bay’ types when I’m just waiting for them to get off screen! So the current focus on Leah is not great from my perspective!
