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....

I used to watch that on a Thursday night, it was on about 11.30pm on ITV, used to go from Question Time to Prisoner Cell Block H (those were the days when I wasn't in bed by 10pm 😂). So many Neighbours and home and away stars were in it.

yes but I’d forgotten that.
loads from neighbours in it too.

I used to love cell Block H!

Yes it’s funny how many.

I loved the reunion episode in neighbours (sorry) when Susan and Sheila met the former prisoners all wearing denim in Harolds 😂

There used to be about 10 Australian actors. Paul Hogan and Bryan Brown did Hollywood, then the rest of did the rounds on a Country Practice, Sons & Daughters, the Sullivans, Prisoner Cell Block H, and once they started, Neighbours and Home & Away. Some of them, like Shane Ramsey (Peter O'Brien), moved on to new shows like Flying Doctors, or short-lived shows like Rchmond Hill. But mostly the casts all seemed pretty much interchangeable.

They could’ve created an Australian soap universe. We could’ve had Steph from neighbours being in cell block H.
Have any women from home and away been sent down? I couldn’t think of any.

Didn't Ailsa have a criminal record as a back story? And Bobby or Carly or another of Tom & Pippa's foster kids may have been in juvie. Was Irene ever over the limit in her drinking days or anything?

There must be someone- nearly everyone gets arrested at some point, even if it's because they're wrongly accused.

Oh I loved Bobby.

irene must’ve crossed the line and at least been in prison awaiting trial.

Didn't they say during the Dana storyline that due to Irene's criminal record that she could go down for it? I'm sure she's been in prison even if it was wrongly convicted.

Also Danni Sutherland was in prison, I remember her wearing the green t-shirt they always seem to wear!

Ahh so they did.

How brutal was Levi when telling his wife. Barely gave her a chance to take a breath!

Madge is in everything! There was an advert on tv for an Idris Elba film last week (Three thousand years of longing?) and there she was in the background

She’s in that??
I would’ve carried on watching if I’d known!

I’m finally making progress on catching up - just seen the wedding, and Eden has just seen Mac and Levi kiss 😱

Valerie is a nasty manipulative piece of work. Please tell me we’re not meant to feel any sympathy for her - I hope she’s not staying around to become one of the Bay’s redemption storylines.

What on earth was that WEIRD plot thing where Marilyn couldn’t go to Leah’s wedding? I didn’t really understand why the writers did that?

That film is awesome!! And the song at the end. Omg. My mom and I just stood in the cinema until Matteo finished singing

I assume for real life issues something happened and she couldn't be there for filming. It would be obvious so they back filled a storyline

I gave up after 30 mins. I get into films straightaway or not at all. Maybe I gave up too soon.

Tbh I didn't even notice Marilyn wasn't at the wedding. Must have missed her saying she couldn't go.

It is slow but I loved it

Am I being harsh to think Theo is being a big dramatic.
They have one gig a week, he does a few hours at the garage, some college work. He does no cooking, cleaning etc. he has no kids. What exactly is hectic in his life?

I'd agree apart from all of the crazy stuff from Leah and Justin that's gone on recently - that was bound to have an impact on him and now maybe anything is too much? But for a typical stable 19(?)yo yeah it's not that much to deal with.

Ok I'll concede THAT point, but I think the script writers should have thought about it too.
"Look it's not just TAFE and the band. You guys are crazy to live with. Bringing home strangers, getting kidnapped by extremists, nearly dying, being kidnapped by crazy women, pulling knives on your loved one. It's like every day I come home and I don't if you'll both be home, in the hospital, kidnapped, in jail or dead. Basically it's like an emotional rollercoaster on too much caffeine. Frankly my life would be more stable in one of Alf's vans. Goodbye."

That would be amazing if they did! 😂

They have been through a lot!

Yes 100% this😂

Guesses as to what will
happen with the film if remi and bree are together.

I quite like Stevie. I don’t like nelson.

He's pretty to look at tho. Wouldn't blame Bree...
