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....

How did Mac find out Gabe died? I missed that bit. I knew she went searching but couldn't find him, but flic mentioned he had passed..
.

Someone phoned her - I think he had given instructions for her to be notified, but it was just one scene, and I'm a bit vague on the details.

Yeah, it wasn't much. Phone call at work from his business assoc. I did wonder if he'd left her anything or she'd go to the funeral but it seems done....

The Mac/Gate storyline was a bit pointless. Not a character we had ever heard of before, he arrived and disappeared in a matter of weeks without really doing anything. It's not although he knew his cancer had returned before he tracked her down. Agree they had zero chemistry. What's up for Mac now?

And....how does Cash get away having his girlfriend come to the workplace and sit on his lap whilst he is on shift???

I missed that!

the only other police/ musician couple I’m aware of is Rod and Penny!

It's always been a very lax workplace tbh😂

Re Mac, Dancing with the Stars!! Perhaps why she's had a few breaks recently?

Xander suits the bar job, it feels like a better fit for him tbh.

Yes I watched them in the Police station a bit open mouthed, and him sharing details of a case with her....

Drunk/hungover Rose really made me laugh, and I like the less serious moments between Rose and Bree!

Poor Buddy, I’d forgotten he existed but they showed Justin walking in with a lead yesterday and played some dog barking sounds. He must live in the garden.

It’s been quite good lately with maz story and Andrew.

lively how Theo is handling him. But looks like he’s going to do a wrong thing.

I do worry really Buddy is deas

I’m so behind! Have just seen Andrew turn up.

Maz is hiding everything in Irene’s house 😂

How long is Irene away for?!

The only option would be to store in a caravan or her room at Alf’s.

They’ve since played some barking sounds from the garden. I hope the actor who played Buddy is getting paid work elsewhere 😆

I’m enjoying the Andrew storyline! It’s funny how they let him stay with a man on court ordered anger management counselling. And everyone was super worried about how poor Justin was going to fit in his community service last week!

Why is Irene in Cyprus? Which one of her many waifs live there? It's one of the things Home and Away do well, they never forget past characters (unlike UK soaps). Also lovely to see the Beach House again with all the old photos.

Also whose house are Lyrik living in? And is anyone living in the Braxton house as that had the annex?

Vj is in Cyprus with Irene's grandson. Can't remember her name.

Ah yes Luc isn't it? Ash's niece. Forgot she was do Irene's grandchild.

*also

Feel so sorry for Andrew, bless him on the beach

Justin is such a doofus

@Rummikub omg I’ve JUST been ranting to a friend about Justin! He’s subtle as a sledgehammer but not as lovable!

And what’s happened to Ava? Just vanished, until she returns with a deadbeat husband and a couple of toddlers? Was she just a stepping stone to the Andrew story?

@AiryFairy1 isn’t he just!

i googled definition of doofus and it is Justin to a T 😂

I have no idea what Ava’s role was apart from to be irritating.

I am enjoying the Andrew story though. He plays it v well.

What the heck does Leah see in him?

@SleepingStandingUp I watched Savage River, finished it tonight, really enjoyed it
