H&Alover

Mayhap Tane's actually working at his gym instead of letting his staff/trainers do all the work. Dana could be coming at it from the wrong angle, and Harper is digging her heels in as she feels bullied. Seeing as Harper been confined to the house so not able to speak to people herself she felt Dana was gossiping behind her back about her (and Tane's) business. As I've said before, it doesn't have to be flashy just upgrade it a tad. Dana did get one thing right Harper should talk to Tane, it's her wedding too. Brief mention by Levi of Abby having counselling which after what she'd gone through is a good idea. I'm supposing Eden was offered it? Mac is running Salt single handed, I know she did that when she first came to the bay, but then, well we know why, she and Flick teamed up and Xander was their third hand so to loose two important members would be hard to get your head around. Oh dear, dear Levi you have no idea do you, being a surgeon is nothing like running a restaurant, you'll be working with people who are able to talk back to you is a whole new ball game. Leah heard me and she did talk to Kirby about her threat about not going to court, and like I thought she might Kirby railroaded it, by putting her 'thoughts' up on her social media page, thanking her supporters and saying she didn't want anyone punished for what she started. It had a really positive outcome too as she got even more followers and Advertising had to back down and change the photos back to how they should be together with a letter of apology so YEH Kirby. Perhaps they will change the billboards. I'd pin up that letter in the board shop. Leah went to court and got fined $5000, is she going to tell Justin - remember what you and Justin promised Maz and John - no more secrets/no lies. It has been a while since Roo applied to be an emergency foster parent, back when Tane was hoping to foster Maia/Poppy, but as he wasn't an Australian national he couldn't so Roo stepped in. It's not going to be easy a 14 year old girl suddenly pitching up on their doorstep with very short notice. They are going to have to play it by ear, hopefully Maz won't overwhelm Eliza. Not a good sign, her talking about her last foster home burning down and her foster parents dying, then us seeing her playing with a lighter.

Both Dana and Maz were press ganging Harper into doing something she wasn't that really into. I don't think Harper would mind a small Wedding, they don't have to be flashy, smaller ones can be very lovely without all the gloss that go with bigger ones, they can mean even more to the people that actually matter - the couple. Tane and Flick's actual Wedding was low key, with the Maori ceremony, with only Cash and Eden there as witnesses, they made up for it with the celebration after. John was right about it not being the right thing to do. Those sites he was looking at for was a no-go. 50 people being the minimum, do Tane and Harper know 50 people? I was confused about the mood board - wtf is that? Anyways that was then, this is now Harper is older and OK not so wiser, but seeing things differently. Maybe she could talk to Tane about it. Get a lovely dress/suit, Tane looks good in a suit, still keep it simple but upgrade it a bit. Harper finally took the bull by the horns as kicked them out. Let's hope Justina and Theo's project does happen and at least Justin has run it past Leah first instead of his usual pattern of the other way round. $20,000 is a hell of a lot. Of course we know why she had a change of mind, she could be forking out $5000 for the fine or do a year inside, Justin and Theo were more excited about getting the from Leah. Why is it that much, I know she was causing a disturbance and she spray painted that van but even so. I get she was disappointed that Kirby's campaign had run out of steam, but would her being fined be of any real help? She does need to speak to Kirby first, no way would Kirby want anyone being punished for something she started. Typical of Alf, just dropping it into the conversation he was having with Roo that he knew about her arrest. It's over for now, but there will be something else they'll be wanting to get the best of the other on.

Yes unlike some, me too I admit, who thought Remi should have kept his nose out of it all, but he was just being a caring friend to Eden as he knew what Cash dumping her did to her. Kirby would have done exactly the same. But he did overstep the mark but telling Cash to do one. But she gave him a right earful once he fessed up. Cash's rationale works for him I guess, and he had taken Tim's advice on board too about not wasting having the opportunity of having a second chance of happiness. We know as Tim did that Cash will always be the one for Eden, and although she was wary she had to give in to her true feelings. I'm supposing they will take it easy and not spread the news they are back together too quickly, they need to take it one step at a time. I was expecting that when Remi came home he'd find Eden wasn't alone and was er um rather busy. John is very concerned about Tane and Harper's Wedding and how neither of them seem that excited about it. I know he hasn't done many but this one is so low key and so business like. Alf was his usual dismissive self but Marilyn got how disturbed he was, which is why she went to see him and she's right he is a romantic. True no Wedding ceremony is the same but she hasn't seen how Tane and Harper are when he's talked to them about what they want. Plus Tane and Harper are giving out the vibe everything is fine. Certainly does seem like it is the end of Lyrik which Remi seems to have finally accepted. It's been a while, since Remi had his accident, then other things kept getting in the way. They did love doing their jamming sessions together, especially the one at the hotel/resort until Tim and Cash got walloped. I suppose they could have those from time to time. Theo has his job at the garage, Kirby is now a board instructor and Eden works at Salt so not as free as they used to be. Will Remi still be doing his session work? I'm guessing Mac won't be holding them to their contract to perform at Salt? Did Justin make that decision about Lyrik folding by himself without consulting the other three? It seemed Remi didn't wasn't aware of it. Did have to when Alf said to Justin about how he had helped those 'kids' so much. I suppose from Alf's perspective they are kids, he is 78 after all. Alf got why Justin said he felt lost without managing Lyrik, not that he's done much of that lately, but it was another interest in his life. Alf has his fishing and going off for the odd sail and his visits to Martha. Justin only has the garage, when he's there, no offence to Leah btw. You can't be glued to your other half all the time, you both need your own interests. Same with Theo, though he wasn't really a full time member, but it was something other to do when he wasn't studying or working.

Coincidences like that do happen which is just as well as we would have had complaints of it being dragged out. I'm guessing she would be hanging around in the bay but keeping a very low profile. I'm thinking Nerida was hanging around the hospital hoping Eden would come out and just followed her, took her to that warehouse, then went back for Abby. I'm hoping we'll find out where she got that Ketamine. I think, unlike some others, it was played out well, no-one got seriously hurt. Once the boys - sorry - Tim and Cash started working together instead of against each other they were able to try and work out what Nerida would do next. Even Townsend got on board so was able to gather the squad together. Using Tim was the only way to get Nerida in the open so she could be contained before she did any more harm. Cash did work out from Nerida's cryptic message to Tim where they were, fresh eyes looking at the files helped. Tim wouldn't have been in any danger from Nerida not now she had Eden to take her anger out on and the cops were listening in so would have moved in right away. As far as the cops knew Nerida could have had a gun, they didn't know it was just the syringe she was going to stab Eden with, all they heard was "finish her off, it's her or me". This wasn't the first time Cash sprung into action before anyone else was it? It was when he got involved with the biker gang, he was supposed to be just listening in but leapt out. Mali was still beating himself up by not protecting Abby but what he supposed to do, what would Levi have done differently? Mali and Levi were acting like anyone would if their relative/loved one was being held hostage and to them the police seemed not to be doing anything. It was very telling that when Abby was brought back the cop shop it was Mali she went to. Nice to see later when Levi took Abby home and said to Mali "Are you coming?". to Townsend apologising to Rose. It must be difficult for any outside CID officer swooping in to a small town like the bay to 'solve' a crime , they upset the locals and local cops, treating them like yokels. They don't want interference and don't want to know any gossip which may be useful. They have to kook at it objectively. Tim was the bigger man and proved most of us wrong thinking he was a bad man and that he was a decent guy. Even after all what Nerida put him through, accusing him of misconduct and trying to kill him he still had her interests in mind when he said to the cops taking her in that she needs help. Then he gave almost the same advice Gary did to Cash about not pushing people you love away. I believe Tim had fallen for Eden but he knows she wouldn't feel the same way about him which is why he's walked away. Bit too soon for Cash to say he was wrong and ask Eden to take him back, Eden needs to get over the Ketamine so can think clearer. Remi wasn't a happy bunny though. It's nothing to do with him if Eden does take Cash back but he was there for her they broke up and knows how much it hurt her and doesn't want to see it happen again.

Cash did well to spot Eden's phone lying in the grass, it had all those missed calls on it. He's got bloody good eyesight. Nerida wouldn't throw her phone away and anyways she used it later to call Tim. Eden, unlike Abby, had been drugged with Ketamine hence her very drowsy state. Mali so shouldn't blame himself, Abby was only going to the shower block and what was he supposed to do hang about outside and look like some sort of perv? He was there the moment she screamed out and got himself a wallop on the head as a result. I don't think Nerida who is unhinged but certainly isn't stupid enough to book into the Caravan Park, she would have just walked casually round giving the impression she's a fellow resident. She may have followed Abby from the Board Shop to the Caravan Park and worked it out that is where she is staying? Abby fought back so well and luckily avoided getting jabbed with the Ketamine which is why she was so alert at, I'm guessing, is that old cinema Tim was talking about, it looked big enough. She, Nerida, may have threatened to hurt Mali more if she didn't go with her. Btw where where were the other residents when Abby was screaming her head off? Another thing - sorry - where did she get it from and the needles. OK Levi would accuse Mali of not looking after Abby like he said he would, but he did, well not apologise exactly, but sympathise after a word or two from Kirby. Abby and Nerida do have a connection seeing as Tim was their counsellor and been 'dumped' by him. Abby can certainly talk the talk you have to give her that. It did calm Nerida down and once Eden was more with it able to 'confirm' what Abby was saying about how she made a mistake in getting together with Tim. If what Abby is saying to Nerida and agreeing with all she's saying is keeping her on an even keel fine and dandy. Now all they, the cops, need to do is find them. Cash and Tim both need to put their egos behind them and start acting like grown men and work together to find Eden and Abby. Cash had let Eden go and Tim believed Eden felt more for him than she really did. Loved how Rose put them both back in their boxes and told them to play nicely. They did start working through Tim's file on Nerida and trying to work out where she could be holding Eden and Abby, somewhere that meant something to Nerida. Coincidentally that is what Nerida was telling Abby and Eden about places they had been to.

At least now Townsend and Cash are kind of on the same page on how to proceed Nerida wise. Levi is looking at it the way most of us 'normal' people do, wanting to know why they haven't caught her yet and why aren't the whole the police force out there looking for her. Nerida will be keeping her head well down, SB is only a small place unlike the city. Townsend did show Cash Nerida's file which is an unusual step as normally it would breach private confidentially but in some cases it is done if the patient/ex patient is thought to be of danger to themselves or the public. Cash did put his hands up and admit he was wrong to take her at her word, but hey he's human and we make mistakes. Both Tim and Eden were single when they got together whereas Levi wasn't, so not quite the same but Tim did think Eden was over Cash so they could take their relationship onwards and upwards. I think Eden was advised to stick with Tim at the hospital as he was under guard so she would be safe while there. Now though he's kicked her out after her confession she kissed Cash, more than one though wasn't it? OK Tim wasn't holier than thou but he did what he thought was the right thing by dumping Abby as a client/patient so he could start seeing Eden. At least Abby didn't turn out to be a psycho. Another thing why wouldn't Tim be eligible for protection when he leaves hospital, he'd still be a target? Belatedly the cops saw Nerida on the hospital's CCTV. I'm guessing Eden's brain wasn't firing on all cylinders when she walked out of hospital in the dark. Was Nerida just lucky and where did she get that needle and whatever it was she injected Eden with? Seeing as Nerida couldn't get to Tim she zoned in on Eden saying "He's mine". Eden had just answered that call from Cash so hopefully he's joined the dots and was able to track where it was answered even if Eden has been taken off to wherever. I get Dana is looking after her big sis like Harper has with her but Harper is going into this with her eyes open. All she can or should do is be there for her. John said every relationship is different and there is no time limit on how soon you move on. It was a tad awkward Tane telling Cash that he and Harper are getting married so needs Felicity's death certificate. Flick as we saw kept her maiden name then. 12th August, has it really been that long?

I can see why Levi freaked out at Mali but he was totally innocent, he had no clue Abby had just dropped the news she was staying with Mali mainly I think just to wind him up, Levi did apologise to Mali. But as luck or not as it happened has brought the question up that maybe Abby would be safer at the caravan park. The Farm House is out in the sticks. Abby, unlike a lot of characters do and hide bad news, did show Mali the text Nerida sent, took it to Levi to get his view on it. The cops do owe Abby protection seeing as she was willing to wear a wire to catch Nerida out. Eden is somewhat safe seeing as she is at the hospital and Tim has a guard. Nerida may be unhinged but would she be that loopy enough to turn up at the hospital again? I think Tane does care for Harper though obviously he isn't in love with her. I know I've said this before but I think it's kinder he doesn't say if it he isn't. Tane had a big do last time and it was beautiful and nothing wrong with it being low key seeing how far along Harper is but you could still have a lovely day with a few more people around. John was lovely with Harper when he saw how upset she was, Harper wasn't really around when Tane and Flick were first together but John said yes they were very passionate but not all love is like that, a new love can be very different but be just as good. Gina was John's main love, but he and Marilyn were very happy. That was a bit of a curve ball the fact Tane and Flick were still legally married despite Tane saying he wasn't her next of kin anymore and him saying she was ex which she wasn't. I did get his point when he said to John it was going to be very awkward asking Cash for Felicity's death certificate as he needs it to show the authorities he's a widower so he can get married again in a couple of months. The last Cash knew and yes he has been tied up in other matters was Tane and Harper had just announced they were a couple. Remi was pushed into a corner by Mac, he feel he owes her as she took them on to play at Salt when she knew nothing about them. I liked the fact he felt it wouldn't be right to perform without Eden but she'd be wary being in the public eye with Nerida on the loose.

Seeing as Abby was trying to trap Nerida into confessing to hurting Tim she would and should be wary. Rose should inform her superiors about her involvement and ensure she is protected, I'm guessing Rose is now back on the case? Does Nerida know where Abby lives? Mali was getting in a panic about Theo finding out he was seeing Abby which we saw from their conversations, but it all went shaped when Theo caught them having a snog. I like to think Mali felt awkward about it because Theo had expressed a liking for Abby. Theo and Abby didn't really get off the ground and as Justin said to him the same problem was there, Abby is a recovering addict and he, Theo, had been burnt when he got involved with Valerie. It was very for Theo having Justin & Leah heavily hinting they wanted to spend the night alone. Well if being arrested floats their boat so be it, they weren't going to be hurting anyone. Justin or was it Leah wisely put the brakes on the skinny dipping idea - that would have got them arrested. Pity we didn't see the follow up from Leah announcing to Alf she, Maz and Roo had been arrested and how he would have broken it to her he knows. I thought Maz didn't believe in keeping secrets. It only have been only common decency for Abby to let either Levi or Mac know where she was spending the night, yes she's an adult but I like to think Levi and Mac would have told her if they weren't coming home. I have the feeling Mali isn't aware Abby is going to be more than an occasional visitor. It won't do any good Levi putting his foot down, that will make her even more determined. Mali would look after her. Crazy thought, seeing as she is PE No1, would Nerida pitch up at the caravan park looking for place to stay? Was kind of amusing in a bizarre way in Salt when Levi and Bree were talking about her operating on Tim and how she manoeuvered the drill when she was drilling into Tim's head. They were fully engrossed but Mac and Remi were just grossed out. From what Bree and Tim were saying this course is something most docs do have to do from time to time to keep up with new medical procedures. But Bree seemed to think it wasn't the best time seeing as she's just got her groove back. Okey dokey Mac said Salt is quite at night most times so obviously meaning it's not making that much money, but then she announces the meal is on her! I'm guessing she is paying herself a wage to be able to pay for it. Lyrik are still under contract with Salt, even though it been a while since all of them played there, so they are obliged to if Mac requires them to. Remi has fully recovered and now they are not moving to the city no problems with rehearsals. Eden has been quite occupied but now Tim is on the mend she's freer, both Kirby and Theo aren't that tied down in their jobs. It'd be good for Kirby confidence wise. Eden , though, may not want to put herself out there is Nerida is on the loose.

It was a vague description on the radio, could be any blonde woman in the bay, but hopefully a fuller description will be on TV or even a photo of her. Dana must have been really concentrating on what she was looking at as she passed straight by her in the corridor at ND's. Nerida has been thwarted now a police guard has been posted. A bit of a late thought why not put a poster of her up in the hospital? But then again Nerida may be unhinged but she's not stupid and wouldn't risk going back there. As Tim is now unavailable I'm guessing Eden will be next on her list as in her eyes she has 'stolen' Tim from her. Has to be frustrating for Cash not being able to get right back in the saddle and do his job as a cop, due to that pesky paperwork. That "Is there a us" conversation with him and Eden didn't get any further. Plus if course now Nerida is at large Eden could as said be her next target. She knows where she lives so couldn't she move somewhere else for a short while? Bye, bye Gary, hope Cash does take on board what he said once everything has been sorted Nerida wise. It was said Rose wouldn't be able to take part being a cop though she would be behind them. I can imagine she'd feel it more as she is of mixed race so can relate more to Kirby. I did feel for her having to control, or try to, that crowd seeing as her friends were leading it but still having to carry out her cop duties. I get they were to make their point against Contract Advertising but as Rose tried to point out there were other businesses who were being affected and they were blocking a public thoroughfare. Justin and Theo were up for helping as was Dana if she wasn't due to do her shift at the hospital. Leah then took it to another level spray painting that van which I'm guessing no-one was expecting. Rose had no choice but take Roo, Maz and Leah in. Good that Kirby went with them even though she hadn't been nicked. Roo and Leah were cool about it but Maz was getting herself in a right tizz. Roo, if I remember correctly, hasn't always played by the rules in the past. Justin and Theo were getting their pants in a panic blaming Kirby as she did herself but no-one dragged any of them, they were well up for it. Roo and Maz were let off with 'a slapped wrist' but it was different for Leah as she caused criminal damage when she spray painted the van. Rose was willing to let her go as long as she gave her word not to cause more trouble which is when she started singing the song. Btw Roo good luck with Alf NOT finding out about what happened, it'll be all over social media and in the local rag.

Cash was wavering when Gary came in, a very discreet exit by him btw. Gary also lost people he cared about, Cash and Felicity's parents, his wife, then Felicity but he doesn't push people away. How long did it take for the hospital or Bree to let Eden know Tim had come around and seemed to have good short term memory? Tim, when she got there appeared to be glad to see her and Bree had told him she - Eden - hadn't left his side. Had he heard anything she had said when he was in his coma as it is known they can. If so he'd know she was only there because she felt guilty about what Cash may have done. OK Rose isn't on the case so why was she there asking Tim if he could remember anything about what happened, shouldn't that have been Townsend or one of the other Yabbie Creek cops and where was he? He could have said it was Cash just out of spite and to get a perverted revenge that he wasn't the one Eden wanted to be with. But he was honest and said it was Nerida who had attacked them both. It was a big relief that Tim has cleared him. We did get cut off when Eden came back and ask it there would be an us. I'm supposing Nerida wasn't expecting Tim to survive or if he did he wouldn't remember what really happened. It's all blown up for her now though and nothing to do with Cash's promise to keep her out of it if he confessed. Of course now the cops will need to find her as she is now a person of interest aka suspect. Legally she is the alleged attacker until formally charged. Nice touch that Tim thanked Bree for saving his life. Not really part of the story but Eden did asked Tim the proverbial question "How are you feeling?" . I think it's a default in all of us. He did complain of a headache which isn't really surprising seeing as Bree had to drill into it anyone would. Kirby certainly has got the fire in her belly by going on the attack against the ad agency. She's also got Maz, Roo and Leah fired up too. Rose would be there if she wasn't a cop. What's the betting though Rose and the other cops will be called in to supervise the marchers once they reach Contract Advertising offices in Yabbie Creek? I dare say if Irene had been in the bay she'd be behind them too. Ditto Eden if she didn't have other things occupying her mind. I guess Mali had done his three days but would be with her in spirit seeing as he is also of a certain skin colour. It was a good idea of Kirby's to put up the before and after pics oh herself on her social media. Was it a female thing only, cos I'm thinking Theo, Justin and Remi would want to be on in it. I'm supposing the advertising agency were hoping she'd overlook it because of the good publicity the board shop would be getting. The protest would highlight the fact that people like them can get away with it as the general public wouldn't know her photo had been doctored to make her lighter, thinner. It would only be people who know Kirby. I wonder it that other girl in the poster had her photo retouched? btw for Ada walking backwards in the march, yes I know TPTB would make sure she doesn't take a bad tumble but still not easy walking backwards - to Christmas - sorry - at quite a pace. You can catch your foot waking forwards so even more risky walking backwards. I did spot one bloke in the march. It was gathering momentum as they went along.

Tane is being honest in an odd way, he does care for Harper but he shouldn't tell her he loves her if he doesn't. Love can come. It was actually August that Felicity died and there is no time limit on how soon someone can fall in love with a new person and as been said, Tane's not said the L word to Harper yet. That was a real clash when Townsend and Gary met, though it was sneaky of Rose using the interview room to talk to Gary, no wonder Townsend wasn't impressed, Rose isn't on the case after all. Gary revealing he's Cash's foster father didn't help either as in Townsend eye's he's another one who'd be on Cash's side so not being impartial. Anyways Tim has woken up and his short term memory isn't that badly damaged apparently as he asked where Eden was and if I read the trailer right he confirmed Cash's version of accounts. Seems Eden and Cash have decided to become more than friends, she snogged him without him pushing her away, then he moved in for another one. Remi swallowed his pride and went to see Cash and admitted it was a knee jerk reaction on his part by going to the cops but I suppose Cash being a cop he could get why he did it, if that had been people he didn't know he'd accept what Remi said. I knew somehow that Eden would forgive Remi, Remi got lucky there as we do know how long Eden can hold a grudge for. To be fair to Remi it was Eden saying she was finding it hard to be living across the road from Cash and asked if he could find somewhere for her to live, but changed her mind reasoning why should she move. Remi did have a good idea but so didn't think it through, he let the money go to his head somewhat. It did make sense for them to have somewhere with space and soundproofing so as not to annoy any neighbours but it would be disupting everyone. Theo deciding he'd commute and how would Kirby has a job she likes, would she have to commute? Then Bree, he just thought she'd have no problem either. His logic, I guess, oh she can transfer to a city hospital no probs. Anyways looks like that has gone down the gurgler, could still use it as a studio but would they want to keep slogging to the city, rehearse then come back again? Must be somewhere nearer. It won't be the first time Kirby has taken on the big boys, though this time it was on Leah and Maz's urging. Last time it was that cosmetics company that Marilyn got involved with, the one that sold that dodgy cream that Roo reacted badly to. Does anyone really read all the small print on a contract? Depends how it was phrased, they can be very cunning how they state things, you read it one way but to them it means something else entirely. Kirby must have found that out when she backed out of her solo contract, there were clauses in it she wasn't made aware of.

Levi did deal with the fact Mac knew about Abby and Mali and hadn't said anything very well. Did he knew about her previous foray in giving ultimatums to people? He treated Abby as an adult and not like a naughty child. I'm guessing Mac may have influenced Levi in the way he spoke to Mali. There was a good reason why Theo broke up with Abby before they even started dating, which he explained to her, he'd been involved with Valerie who was a drug user and he nearly got hooked himself. He was having counselling so couldn't take the risk even if Abby is a recovering addict. Abby blamed herself but I think her counsellor has helped her to see it wasn't personal. Only guessing mind, just my thoughts. Only choice Mali had really apart from dumping Abby as a girlfriend which wouldn't do her self esteem any good or firing her and she is good at her job. So good try Levi. At least there won't be any sneaking about with either of them ducking into each other's bedrooms during the night. There are a lot of people who can't take Harper and Tane seriously as a couple because of their back to front way of getting together. Is everyone forgetting he went in for a kiss on Harper not long after he and Flick broke up, and even if she had fancied him back then she knew it was the wrong time. He backed off and they were just trainer and pupil. OK they aren't a passionate couple, not that they could be at present seeing how far along she is, but Tane and Flick were very passionate whether snogging each others faces off or arguing and look how that ended. Maybe this way round it could work out. Hardly a romantic proposal from Tane though was it? Dane did dip her oar in but only because she's concerned about Harper. BTW I don't know how secluded Irene is at her rehab but is Harper inviting Tane to stay over or rather his decision to move in for a couple of nights been OK'd by her, it is her house after all. Did she give them carte blanche as to what they could do? Seems everything is still Ok with Dana and Xander.
