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 agree about Tane.

Oh good grief - Abi Fowler is yet another teen in need of reforming by the magic powers of Summer Bay. What an unappealing character.

This whole Claudia storyline is ridiculous. Justin rocking up at the hospital like a weird stalker and agreeing to be her driver? Surely he'd be insured and solicitors/insurance companies would handle any negotiations/compo.

I mean the moment he decided to try to sort it out without involving insurance etc was the moment I realised what a farcical storyline we were in for. The man is supposed to be intelligent enough to (sort of) run a business but I wouldn’t trust him to manage if I sent him out to buy milk!

😅😂😆

Who used to live in the band’s house?
lots of house swaps atm.

I'm not sure anyone (that features in the programme) lived there before the Paratas but it was conveniently close to John's house to cause him stress about noise and crime before realising they're okay really on a good day.

Hmm, I may be confusing houses - Tane, Cash and Perrie are in the one I'm talking about, with the pool. The band one is over the road maybe? And I don't think we knew who lived there before.

Yes the one over the road from
tane.

have we ever seen inside John’s house? Oh we have - when he lived with maz.

have we ever seen inside John’s house? Oh we have - when he lived with maz.

Yes and when he was briefly with the scammer woman.

Forgot about scammer woman.

I like how John can sometimes find just the right words to say.

I wonder if the Braxtons used to live in the band’s house?

Oh, they might have.

The Braxtons house had an open plan annexe thing opposite it though, whereas the band house opens on to the street I think? Unless the annexe thing was at the back entrance? Have we ever seen the band house garden?

Yes. We have seen the band practise in their garden. There was a big table and garden benches.

Cash and the letter 😢

I do like John’s voice 🤦🏽‍♀️

The Braxton house was where Sally and Flynn lived when he was a doctor before they moved back to the Caravan Park, as they converted the annex into a doctors surgery.

Justin seems to have forgotten about Buddy but also the annex in their garden that Brody and Ziggy lived in for a bit.

Took a moment to remember who Buddy was.
they must have massive gardens.

when mackenIe and levi were having breakfast outside it looked like a park!

My relatives in Australia have a massive garden as well

Pretty sure I've heard Mack's house referred to as 'the farm' so that might be why the garden looks so huge!

That makes sense.

are they developing a bree Ocd storyline? I remember when remi was in hospital bree was vigorously cleaning around him.

Ah - the annexe has quietly disappeared…

It is a Farm, apparently. The first time we saw people living there (I think) was the Astoni family.
It is also some way out of Summer Bay, so the ease with which the various residents get there, and back, sometimes uses a bit of dramatic licence!

The farm has been used loads. When Geoff and Annie Campbell lived there with their grandfather they actually used the inside for filming apparently.

Martha then bought it after Jack's death, then the Maguire's lived there, then I think the Astoni's bought it along with the pier flat. Then they rented it out to Ziggy and Dean, now Mac and whoever else she gives a room to.

I really need to get out more 😂

@XxSideshowAuntSallyx Well, you know more than I do.... there have been stretches of years sometimes, when I haven't watched. I bow to your thorough knowledge.

Martha rings a bell, but I think I have bypassed the Maguires altogether. I remember Ziggy and Dean, but had forgotten they lived there. I often get her confused with the very similar looking blonde who had a baby with Brax (speaking of the annexe - she/they lived there for a while I think).

Where's Roo at the moment? ---- not seen her wafting around in a kaftan and straw hat lately...
