Aussie here. Sounds like you’re not too far behind us. Maybe about a month?
We’ve just had Cash and Eden’s wedding ceremony last night and wedding reception tonight.
If it’s the spoiler I’m thinking of it happened on the show tonight.
Another who doesn’t like Jo. She’s definitely made Harper seem less annoying. Don’t like Lacey either.
The story lines are a bit meaningless or directionless or something at the moment.
The IVF storyline has been accelerated but Mackenzie does only have one ovary and tube so her pregnancy chances are halved. Depending on the character’s age the time to wait before going to assisted reproduction changes. Under 35 is 12 months, 35 and over is 6 months. Pretty much all IVF is in the private health system. Apparently some parts of maybe one state has limited public/free IVF for some. Not in mine. We had to pay.
Otherwise it’s privately paid for up front and you can claim back some of the cost from Medicare. Some parts like egg retrieval require private health insurance to cover the in hospital cost of the operating theatre. That’ll involve at least a 12 month waiting period meaning paying 12 months of PHI premiums before you can claim for IVF related costs. You generally need the top level of PHI coverage to be covered for assisted reproduction and pregnancy. It can be expensive. Clearly Mackenzie and Levi have plenty of money and Mackenzie already had PHI in place at the top level of coverage. Not sure why she would when the local public hospital there can do everything and do it quickly in the public system.
I’ve angrily muttering at the IVF scenes being factually incorrect and misleading.
For the outside filming at houses they don’t do much these days. They’d have to get permits to close the street, pay for traffic control and security, and things like that. The inside of the houses are entirely stage sets. They’re not really in a house, even the caravan park house. I felt lied to when I saw a photo of the set. 😆
I’ve been watching H&A since forever. Pretty much since the first year.
