Just caught up this weeks. Aaron does do broken well, too sad.
And Paul distraught :( but obv guilty as hell. Loved Sadie‘s outburst at the wake.

Yes, Sadie shouting was brilliant. It’s not often Sadie gets an air punch from me!

Does Melissa Bell just sit at home twiddling her thumbs waiting for the producers to call asking if she's free for a couple of episodes? Can always rely on her to come back for all the family stories!

Always come back like a boomerang!

Yes sadie is usually quite mediocre. Loud shout! 😂

I love that she always comes back - makes it more real. I wish other family members of the streets residents would visit.

That was what was great about it ending with so many old faces coming back!

Who else could come back? The Kennedy kids. I’d like to see more Brennan’s.
No more garage so no need for Lucas I guess.

Definitely the Kennedy's kids & variety of foster kids; the Scullys to visit Karl & Susan & Toadie; Roxy to visit Therese; Lucas and all the old friends to visit Toadie; all Paul's kids & wider relatives; Paul's ex-wives (for some sort of drama); Des again to make peace with Jane; Dr Clive to visit Jane (& to be a proper character rather than just Sheila's partner) etc etc!

Oh yes Clive would be good with jane. And forgot about the scully’s.
Roxy for sure. Shame sheila cannot come back.

Clive and Jane were together before Mike reappeared. Clive was doing his gorillagram with Jane when Mike appeared on his bike.

Yes I remember that. Wonder what they’re going to do with mike. It must be coming up to 5/6 months now for him to have that bike touring job.

With Holly there you could bring back Boyd or Summer. I’d always love Steph back.

Ben could return but probably with a new head. We could meet Billy and Anne’s kids.

Nicolette and Byron’s dad could rock up, although not an old face.

Gabezilla must be about 24 now…

Did Toby come back before as an adult or did I imagine it?

Well it seems a ridiculous that Paul would give out the pass code to his phone, and let Chelsea move in. I mean he's only known her 5 minutes. I know it's neighbours, but that's surely a massive stretch even for them.

Especially as he had been warned by David

I don't see how a smart cookie like Lucy could let a couple of free drinks from the likes of Chelsea fool her into loosening up on family info as ammunition for Chelsea's Paul-acquisition quest. Only five minutes before she was telling her to back the hell off.
Paul's not in his right mind, so I guess he could be excused for falling for it. Though giving out his phone passcode was almost as much of a stretch as believing that 'read/delete/nothing-to-see-here' bollocks.

Gabezilla fed on royal jelly like on tales of the unexpected 😂

I've just binged the whole week's episodes...

I'm starting to really like Byron and I quite liked him and the other 'young ones' taking Krista in this week.

Loved the use of Terese and Paul's theme at that last cliffhanger!

Sadie was good, and her family made a bit more sense this week too.

Aaron is pretty heartbreaking. Wonder how that will play out and whether he will stay.

I must have missed the thing about Paul's phone passcode and Chelsea moving in! Has that happened?!

Leo and Aaron to move in together. Bring the girls up together. That’d make sense to me.

Who is Gabezilla?

I loved Steph! She was my girl crush for years. I'd love to see her back, along with all of the extended Kennedy clan, and some of Paul's extended clan too.

Baby Gabe, child of the former priest and illegitimate child of brad and Lauren. Can’t remember what she was called!
oh Paige!

Yes he was meant to be a newborn but looked about 6 months old 😁

I think Paul is so alone he just wants to not be.

Hope this is just the test that will make Therese and Toadie stronger.

Surely Paul's position at the hotel is untenable given the shares the Sinclairs have and what's happened?

Anyone else think they're lining up blondie and Sadie? He had a didn't go there with Mack, him and Holly are close but it would be weird, but they keep having alone time. However what would that age gap be?

I might have missed the moving in thing myself - she's going back to collect her belongings from her sister's place, but I don't recall her making any arrangements with Paul about shacking up in the penthouse. The phone passcode sharing was today.

I thought it was part of today’s episode? Chelsea went up to the penthouse saying she was with the removals firm. Then she suggested she move in and look after him. He barely nodded and said thanks.

It was part of Thursday's episode, think it was towards the end. Where she's telling him what to do and then casually drops that she's moving in as Lucy is going back to the states and thinks it's a great idea too.

Am I the only one that doesn't like Chelsea?
