Oh thread, how I missed thee Hello again Braxton fans. I had exams and managed to do what I thought was the impossible. No HAA for 12weeks! haha what a mission catching up. I didn't know which episodes featured #1 Braxton and had to watch all of them. Pheww fortunately 22mins/epi for a few hours a day and Im alll caught up with the latest. Super excited. Danny Braxton - what a character! LOL Great casting. Papa Braxton is played by a former wrestler - soo fitting and Heath looks like his 'mini-me'. What did he do to baby Brax; what is he going to do? They are going head-to-head The episodes have blurred into one. He has a tattoo - haha I googled it and found other fans have asked the very same question several times. "a friend of my heart" (?!) Hallelujah E(-snore) left! And poor Colleen left and noone has mentioned her name. But our Brax has kept mentioning Charlie. Do you miss her? I do. But as they say: better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. I think I read a comment by LauraPhilly: Charlie started Brax's journey on the right path and now Natalie will continue it. Im sure there will be bumps along the way - RB at heart an all. BTW is that the end of the RBs - I noticed they haven't featured. NATALIE! I like her - very cool with both Sasha and Casey - don't you just love people (in real life) who have the ability to just get through and break down walls where non need to be. Some interesting conversations between her and Brax. I quite like how this is different to the 'love at first sight' that Chax had. I quite like that there are so many overlaps with Charlie and Natalie's characters. Keeps it real. It has been 6months? For soap world that is a reallly long time. haha even watching all the epi's together I thought it had been longer. She is cute too. I think they look great together. Im sure her story will keep us hooked. Hmm if rape or a long lost child make an appearance - then that's just too far. There's similar and then there is straight copy catting. <3Brax! Steve Peacocke won the Logie - well deserved. Haha and great speech he made!

I haven't been able to see the current episodes. I hear today's were amazing. Can't wait to see them when I have new internet contract I am enjoying reading everyone's views. This thread has become a little livelier since I was last on and very insightful opinions they are too Not everyone has the same opinion - as would be the case - even if this was a real-life scenario. So I think reading it opens everyones mind. I think the way the character has been written is very complex and refuse to see it in black and white. Whether we empathize or despise Brax - we difinitely have something interesting to discuss. <3Brax! Ill be back to comment on the latest goings on as soon as I have seen them

Thanks LauraPhilly! It is good to be back. How are you liking the new HAA year so far?? urghhh soo annoyed at my internet. It takes me atleast an hour to watch a 22min episode! I don't enjoy Brax time when it pauses mid-drunk or angry scene! haha to quote a youtube comment: "I love a drunk Brax I love a sober Brax, I love an Angry Brax, I just LOVE BRAX".. is THE only thing that made me giggle while being annoyed at all the extra loading time. I just love Geoff... he is one funny guy. I just wish he would pick on someone his own age. If Brax were to hit him - he would be abusing the elderly, no?! However, he really isn't doing a great job of scaring me - I think it's the accent. He clearly just can't take no for an answer and has some deeper psychological issues at being rejected??! lol Im clutching. I have no idea what I'm saying! As a huge fan of the forbidden Chax romance I have to say I am also enjoying Leah's time with a juicy storyline. I feel like she is long overdue some interesting scenes and what's juicier than scenes with the head Braxton boy?! I guess I am biased. But there is something so unthreatening about Leah. The girl-next-door-sweetheart that the boys always end up marrying. Ermmm dare I say... the only issue with this sweetheart is that your guaranteed a quick exit by DEATH so Brax needs to be warned of the penalties. Don't get me wrong bar the few pregnancy-miscarriage selfish moments her character went through last year I am a big Leah fan. Unfortunately in soap world characters have to move on from death at cheetah speed and it looks to be heading in the Brax-Leah direction. Yep so I am struggling to remember the scenes from the past week and today as it has taken a while to get through them but enjoying the spiral that is Brax's journey so far. Especially liking his interaction with Watson/police. haha him kicking the door down... as classic as the time he climbed up a pole. I heart drunk Brax <3Brax! Ohh how I wish Brax could have said something to Heath about the consequences of getting revenge and having the urge to have the last laugh. PEOPLE DIE HEATH!! That's all!

5436-5438 Wow what a return to 2012! I am not sure what everyone thought of this final outcome but it blew me away. So much great emotion from Leah, Ruby, Casey and Brax. I have to admit the whole thing was a surprise to me. Spent no time thinking about the rumours and who said what when but I have to admit I was convinced she wasn’t going to die as it was being implied and looked so obvious. Good one @writers... LOL you got me good!! Kinda feel foolish haha ehh well you win some you lose some. I guess the writers did Esther Anderson a huge favour by killing off Charlie as now she can have a legit chance at trying to make it in America. Guaranteed she wouldn’t have the same motivation if she had a cushy HAA gig as a security net to fall back on. She is beautiful, has a Hollywood-body, it seems she is humble and down to earth and for those reasons –if for nothing else - I hope she makes it!! I got a little teary when I saw the goodbye video - she really has no idea what the future holds for her. If it means so much to her – Esther will fight for her dreams. As should anyone Oh how I have missed analyzing Darryl Braxton! And to say it was an eventful start to the year for him is really the understatement of the year (even if the year is pretty new)... From the hide and seek game he was playing with the devil-on-earth aka Jake to the barricading himself with a gun (THE same gun responsible for shooting Charlie) to prevent anyone switching off her life support to once again (TWICE) being in handcuffs/behind bars and to drinking himself silly instead of going to the funeral of the woman he loves. Oh and not to mention the verbal attack on Bee and Ruby... pot, kettle, black all comes to mind! I don’t do this very often but I have to agree with Elijah (ps New Year’s resolution is to stop saying mean things about him - oops ignore the eyeroll I just did.. bad habits die hard an all) “Let’s not be sad for he has given us so much to smile about” ... I think the “he” he is referring to is Cam Welsh btw lol! Anyways... those snippets of scenes were heart wrenching especially Leah and Ruby’s. I think the bit that got me was when Ruby was talking about how Charlie was happy and could be herself. I knew this was always written as a tragic star-crossed love story but seriously my romantic heart just cried a little at the outcome. So the moral of the story is that IF a good girl follows her heart and gets with the bad boy she meets DEATH? A horrible, untimely death? Hmm I don’t think that was the moral but it felt like it for a while. Well an epic tragedy is what is was imo. The writers did a great job of telling it over a year and giving it so many twists and turns and keeping the fans wanting more. I am apprehensive but excited to see where Brax goes to after this. Looking forward to learn more about the depths of his character, his past and most importantly what his future holds. Exactly how does one recover from losing the love of their life when in fact they are ultimately responsible for it? I mean he didn’t pull the trigger but his “dark” life style ended her “light” one. Well I hope the drama is worth it all and we get some great stories from it <3Brax! Him telling Ruby about the date night ... ohh how I will miss the happier Chax times. RIP Charlie Buckton. RIP CHAX. --- Steve Peacocke, Lincoln Younes, Bec Breeds and Esther Anderson for some Logies please! Awesome job done in 2011 and so far in 2012 --- Well Congratulations to the writers for a successful 2011. I admit I would have been happier with a happily ever after, however Im still here itching for more.

Warning: very long rant coming up. It reflects how much I loved the episode. 5430 – Nearly 200 episodes since the Braxton’s and RBs entered HAA. I thought it was an absolutely amazing finale. I thought it was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING preview and promo. It feels SAD. Like really I'm feeling pretty dramatic - like someone pulled out a piece of my heart and is crushing it as we speak. I don’t like it. But time heals all wounds x *hugs to people who feel the same* The 3 Braxton’s together in one scene - the way it should be. As usual I felt sorry for Heath at times and then want to shake him at others. Why doesn’t he realize about ‘action and consequence’. April actually looked really pleased with herself. I get that he is a naughty boy with all his drug dealings and fighter fists however he does have his moments of being soft. Easy for a girl like April to be blinded by the flickers of ‘good’ he displays. He really can’t be blamed in this situation. He is a man and when a pretty girl [who btw is not under any influence] throws herself at him – it would just be un-physiological if he didn’t go along with the flow. I have to admit as wrong as it sounds on paper - it looks good. They are pretty together [picture perfect]. I can see chemistry between them. Haha erm was their hook-up PG?? I don’t think so. Im not complaining. Im old enough to watch lol. Hmm not sure where it can go with his stupid and bad-boy-ness and her brain and perfectionism. It would be a serious case of opposites attract if these two actually got together. Have a feeling after the way she was grinning away like a school girl that he is going to have to crush her hormone-filled heart. Got to laugh at the picture of Bee next to her bed. Ohh how three is a crowd. Ohh and Dex’s picture was on the other table lol 4 is also a crowd in this case! I adore Casey. Who confused us and told us he was going to come back changed and dark? Lol juvie gave him a glow imo. He and Ruby have been so adorable together. I have got to feel bad for Heath being the odd one out. No Buckton cousin around in the world? I really loved the mother-daughter scenes especially when Charlie wasn’t her usual uptight self regarding Casey too. I really hope that wasn’t the first and last of them like that! Ruby can’t believe Charlie kept a secret? Ahem ?*laugh out loud* -moment. Erm she managed to keep Brax a secret for the longest time AND also her own past...’Im your mother not your sister’-secret... Just saying! Ohh Charlie’s ILY to Brax! Of course he knows but it doesn’t hurt to share. I liked that she questioned if he knew about Stu; although a little worrying that she didn’t already know the answer to that question. But a great response from him: “Like a lot of the boys, Stu’s had a tough life. That’s what brings us together”. I had my thoughts of how the s/l would go with Brax. Some undercover theory. But maybe it was this simple all along. Brax was a bad boy with a tough up-bringing. A good guy on the wrong tracks and given the chance a good guy on the right tracks. Oh their conversation explains Heath being free. Charlie hadn’t processed his paperwork. Lol as long as there is an excuse for him being free Im happy. Given that Charlie is supposedly the most competent cop in town no one else could possibly process his paperwork now, could they?! Oh he better eat his words! How dare he say “Im not sorry to see the back of that cop” – you better be sorry! Considering she gets shot because of Heath’s idiotic move on Jake’s drug crop. In summary Chax fans should be hating on Heath. It was a really touching moment when she was putting her badge on and her last look in the mirror. Big sighhh giving up your career for love! Hmm the love really must be out of this world. The knock ...and gosh Jake looks so evil! Prison really didn’t give him a glow. Bang Bang. She hit the ground! *fingers crossed* she is not dead If this s/l means they stay in the Bay and this is the only way then so be it. I am selfish like that! I actually cried after seeing the promo. A great song choice. “I won’t let you go” by James Morrison. OMGosh Brax don’t let her go! It really felt like the end. Especially the way it showed their story. In my eyes a really beautiful story of ‘THE-ONE’ love. Like all great sad movies or stories I felt all the emotions in that 60second promo. Seriously brought tears to my eyes. I take it she is on life support and he doesn’t want to take her off! Arghh don’t do it! Let’s try the Sleeping Beauty story: kiss her and see if she wakes??? Brax in tears = heartbreaking! Urmm I am only studying Medicine but 2 gun shots in the abdomen does not mean death necessarily. Not in real life and not in SB. It’s not a walk in the park [urghh and she is soo tiny] but nothing is decided. I have faith [NOT in denial] that she survives. It is a gut feeling. Can’t explain it! However if Esther has decided to move on from HAA; I wish her the best. Dreams are for pursuing not just to have while sleeping imo. Stunning actress; beautiful person it seems! How cruel are people. Gosh I get that people don’t like the s/l but reading things like “die woman die” makes me so angry. I LOVE the storyline. I ADORE the characters and I ADORE the actors who play them so well! I have never enjoyed a storyline so much. And YES it is probably due to the fact that I have a heart. The writers don’t owe anybody anything. They have a job to do which is to write entertainment and they have done that in my eyes. No matter the ending and how sad or happy it is, the journey has been so amazing to watch! I will really miss sharing on this thread. I miss Chax already. It is all good. I will be back ranting in January if nobody minds. Maybe a few things to say if I get to see some more awesome promos before then. Peace out! Enjoy the holidays folks =); Chax fans enjoy a break from this obsession <3Brax! “No one’s going to take you away from me” – PLEASE, Please let this be true

5432 I like the scenes between Brax and Liam. They have some chemistry lol?! There isn’t much for friendship for Brax so I hope we get to see more of that. And seriously he can’t go to Heath if it is Charlie-related advice he needs. So I think I can see something blossoming over working together and fixing bikes. Haha at least Liam sounds like he will miss Brax as much as we would - should he leave for the city. Ohh Geoffrey is a little heavy handed. And Brax actually looks nervous surprisingly. Got to say it was pretty hot him standing up to him the way he did. Wonder what his next step is going to be? That was a definite threat to Charlie wasn’t it? Hmm as if the peeper wasn’t enough of one! LOL at the cute Chax scene. I love fun and flirtation between them. They have been long overdue some stress-free fun the way the past several months have gone for them. For now, let’s ignore the fact that it was the ogler who must have opened the window and made the noise while they were otherwise preoccupied. Haha I have to admit I love this side of Charlie. Esther was on Morning Rise show recently and stated how Brax brings out the best in Charlie – a fun and vivacious side. Have to agree with what she said and it was so well displayed in that oh-so-adorable scene. Ermm Leah, why on earth did you look away? Not awkward at all for you to perve on your roommates boyfriend. When he is standing in your kitchen bearing all [and hotly I might add] – it’s surely acceptable?! Got to love a man who is confident in his own skin! <3Brax! Not long to go until the end! And so looking forward to Casey being back =) Let's hope for 2/3 Braxton boys to step up for their girls

5431 Oh silliness that is Heath = baby throwing his toys out the cot to get some attention. Oh fool that is me - what I meant is that he reckons dealing drugs and working for criminals is a decent way to provide for himself and his family. As usual Brax is trying to keep him out of jail. As usual Heath makes yet another stupid choice and needs bailing out. At least we see Brax making the right choice to try and persuade him but not breaking his back to get him to listen. After all you can’t expect a change from people if they don’t want it for themselves . Bet he will start blubbering if he gets put back inside jail. Can’t see why that fact alone is not motivation for him to avoid breaking the law! I know it's HAA and its not real/accurate but I can't get my head around how many times Heath can get out on bail and how his charges amount to nothing even when he gets caught red-handed... hmm oh well [just a show - no need to stress over it I guess] Haha love John. Awesome character – so animated! “Don’t give up your job before you go”. Pity she needed that push to search Heath but glad she did chase him down and didn’t take any of his threats lying down. As usual Heath has a ridiculous come back “you planted that” haha sure she did. I wouldn’t blame her though to prevent Heath from joining her and Brax. I think it has been said before [by me/others] but I have to admit as much as I love the drama between them up until now; I have got to say I love the drama-free version of them just as much [if not more]! They are so happy about leaving the Bay. How rude ! <3Brax! “In a few days we won’t have to worry about my family anymore or your job. There’ll be nothing stopping us hanging out all day everyday” aww too cute Arghhh there is a peeping Tom at the window... haha is he a Chax fan too? JK woah way to ruin an awesome Chax moment with a shadow creeping. Let’s hope Chax started their hanky panky when they get to the bedroom else the ogler would have had a free X-rated-show. Now that is just plain freaky!

PS - STEVE PEACOCKE DESERVES TO WIN AN AWARD FOR BEST ACTOR NEXT YEAR!

5428 Haha Poor naive Brax. Would Heath just go and follow his brother and his cop girlfriend to the city. LOL be the 3rd AND very useless wheel in their new love nest?! Haha Nah I don’t think so somehow. I love how they mentioned the three of them leaving. If that were the case, they may as well make room on the couch for Cheryl too. Can’t see her leaving her boys even if one of them is 28 years old! They will need to live close to the pokies else she won't be able to do the one thing that makes her happy lol. Oh Alf you are so right. SB would not be the same if they left! Not in my opinion anyway I don’t know what is going to happen with the King. He is throwing his weight around and Brax looks rather worried at the end. Admittedly if there is someone who can manage respect and keep their head whole - it is Brax! I really love the relationship between John and Brax. There is a surrogate father figure in John – haha I may be imagining it but I can see one forming at snail pace. They snipe at each other like family [kind of]! I never thought I would say this but I missed Charlie in uniform. Actually that might be a slight exaggeration as I definitely don’t like the guard she has up with Brax when she is questioning him. But cute kitchen scene . She is in-deep if she is willing to have H-H-Heath [haha love John] ruin her and Brax’s alone time. The more I think about it, the more wrong it seems to have Heath away from surfing for a prolonged amount of time. Would be like taking a fish out of water. Rather cruel seeing him flap about even more aimlessly. Ermm Hullloooo Darcy. DARRRRRCY What about Darcy??? I am shouting it so I can be heard. Brax forgot about her today [haha they should take her to the City too?] and Heath manages to forget about her most of the time while he is trying to secure a future for her by selling drugs and working for a crook (yes it sounds ridiculous; because it is! ) <3Brax! “That was just him being a girl. No offense” Just cause this was funny. Should offense be taken? Heath having a cry because his big brother is leaving him is the equivalent to what girls would do? Ohh dang he could be right. I might cry and rage at Charlie if Brax left too. Haha no offense taken then. Only next week left to rant. I, for one, OBVIOUSLY have enjoyed this RB s/l especially centering the love around DB. I think it is important to note what is great drama in a soap is not so awesome in real life. I can totally distinguish between the 2 worlds [real and fake] and appreciate them. Awesome job done by HAA writers. To get so much in a 22min epi is something of a challenge and I appreciate their efforts this year. I personally hope it continues for next. [Also just wanted to say I have prob seen all the epis from the start of HAA too and gave up the past few yrs while at uni. haha oops I might not rant about them at alll but I really love the older cast members ie Ada, Ray, Lynne, Shane and have huge HUGE soft spots for Emily Symons and Lyn Collingwood] Oh and lastly I want their to be another finale twist: Charlie pregnant with a Braxton-bub! Please let his happen. I am living in hope.

5427 – Again only seen YT Chax clip (Thanks @WeLoveChax – you don’t eat as much of my dongle as the full epi uploaders) That episode was tense or was it just me? Geoff gave me a shiver. *hyperventilating* My bad I mean Geoffrey! That was a close one. I think Brax nearly lost a finger or half his head. Even his own family were scared of him... they did not utter one word. And his poor wife didn’t know what a smile was. Haha was nice to see someone on the show that was far scarier than Brax [apart from Jake that is]. Oh gosh what to do with Heath? I can’t love him. Or if I do, it is short lived (like gone in 60seconds) and I just want to thump him again. Does he need reminding that he put everyone’s lives in danger by crossing over on Jake’s drug turf and now he is doing something stupid with some other king criminal. Like literally a famous one known to all. Urghh when will he learn? He is angry at the thought of Brax leaving [who wouldn’t be? Haha no need to answer – rhetorical Q] but seriously he is just too stupid for words. Darcy -8year old daughter; ring any bells? Besides technically Brax isn’t leaving Heath with nothing: he still has his precious RBs! Awesome dinner scene with Charlie/Brax and Ruby. Can’t wait for more like this with the addition of Casey too hopefully! Loved when he took the food off Ruby’s plate LOL like a real family! Finally we see Brax stepping up and taking charge of his feelings. He don’t care about the RBs no more, and has had enough of Heath-the-mess-maker. Love it! “There is no way I am going to sacrifice our future together to keep bailing him out” <3Brax! “I need someone to buy the restaurant; not hold a gun to my head” yaay I knew Brax wouldn’t leave us to watch SB's favourite restaurant being run by the hands of a soul-LESS crook. Erm I’m not sure how he is going to avoid that invisible gun to his head though. What an intense few seconds when they all stood staring at each other and the King wanted Brax to 'think' some more. I got a feeling the King gets what he wants. Hello drama!

This thread is as ghostly as Angelo's! 5424/5425 – Only seen YT Chax scenes this week! [student life and Dongle restriction = *sad face*] - hope I didn't miss anything too interesting! Admittedly I am a little confused at how these scenes have been arranged. I assume in epi 5424 Brax and Charlie had thought that maybe a possibility could be that they move to the city but hadn’t made any definite plans. However, the ultimate sacrifice Brax made was to commit to leaving with her by selling up Angelo’s asap so they could leave once she had worked out her notice. Can’t wait to find out how and why things change. *please let them remain together* - enough drama – their current scenes together [actually talking] are rather adorable! Gosh Queen Bee needs to get off her high horse. How is Brax firing Liam going to help exactly? Two wrongs don’t make a right! She hates the lying – so why tell more and get in deeper. She needs to let loose a little and be LESS high-maintenance. Haha I get the irony of my words – and yes I know Brax has been plenty guilty of wrong-doings. There is a simple solution to this all along. Why she hasn’t told Liam the truth is beyond me . It is not likely that he would go to the cops and say “Your bad! I didn’t crash into Bee/Heath. I crashed into Brax/Charlie” – - silly dramatics for nothing imo. But atleast we know Bee is a pointless bff. How dare she say Brax is the bad guy (LOL I have to lol at the loyal defending I do). She is a little quick to forget that Liam has a shady past like ALL in SB! Since when did Angelo’s become so quiet?? Trying to think back to the last time we saw it and it was buzzing! Hmm maybe it’s been quiet since Brax’s arrest and the evidence going missing?!? I think my fave scenes were Brax with Bianca and Heath individually. They said the same thing which made him realize that no matter how much he tried to change – he would still be stuck with his bad boy title. Doesn’t help that his tats are always visible for all to see and a constant reminder to the residents of the Bay that he is a marked River Boy. Hmm get rid of the tats – get rid of the label?? <3Brax! “Leaving that stuff behind is tough” “I want to be with you. So it’s worth it” By stuff I assume he means the boys banter and idiotic behaviour. His lines and smile are so smooth ! So a thought crossed my mind when Alf was trying to control the RBs. Brax is the equivalent of all the foster parents that have been on the show. Instead of trouble kids, he has taken troubled men under his wings! Err moving on... Hahaha LOVE the new promo – Deal with the Devil

5418 RB’s or Charlie? Outlaws or the love of his life? Maybe I am biased but is his decision really that difficult? I mean the RBs may be like family but the fact is they are not. And fair enough if they would keep their noses clean but why is Brax the only one sticking to his rules about staying out of trouble. He might feel responsible for them but the truth is he can’t be a father/role model to all of the unruly kids [and men] in that gang. However, I don’t personally see how he can live in SB [total population of 50] and expect to stay away from them and not be dragged into their messes. And what about Heath? A RB but also actual blood. Hmmm but don’t get me wrong I loved the gesture. Charlie gives up her career; Brax gives up his family. Lol I know which one is getting a better deal in the equation His moment in the water was amazing, wasn’t it? It reminded me of Casey’s back when he was contemplating if he wanted to go back to school or not. Aww these boys are just lost and need to be found. I can’t get over how idiotic Heath is. Lol the writers are going to keep him as this bad-boy-fool for as long as possible. Well thanks @Heath – I think he pushed Brax over the edge faster. He was taking his sweet time in giving up the gang! Wish Brax would just thump him again and say ‘What about Darcy? What if some idiot sold your kid drugs?’ And lol YES Heath at church would be a nice change. Mention of Charlie leaving with Ruby to the city . I have to admit I hate any mention of it (whether it happens or not). It makes me realize I am not ready to leave these characters just yet. They will have to suffer failures and remain in school for now just to keep me happy. Totally sane - not at all obsessed (*ahem* much) <3Brax! “It’s actually pretty simple. I love you. I love you and Im just doing what it takes to be with you cause I reckon your worth it” hell yeah she is! My heart is currently all mushed up over this scene. Haha Brax looked pretty proud of himself at his realization that she was worth losing the boys for. Brax being soft = Hot! What I really would like to see for the next few episodes is that they tackle things together instead of breaking apart at every glitch. We have had enough getting off the merry-go-round to last their entire SB relationship surely?? I want to see a ‘normal’ couple and their ‘dirty little secret’ out for all to witness. It won’t take long for SB itself to fall in love with them. It took us [Chax fans] all of 2 seconds after all! I can almost hear Colleen saying" I knew he was a good sort" - haha maybe I am not sane

Im now a working gal... * * it means much less time to watch HAA and keep up to date with the latest gossip and not enough time to rant about my fave character =( (doesn’t mean I adore him any less)... Loving the way the s/l is currently running 5417 Charlie rejected surfing... NOOO - but we waited soo long. Aww she rejected the trip to Bali too? Huh how does one manage to do that?! Lol thank goodness though unless we are going with them I don’t want to know! How beautiful were the romantic scenes?! @writers hmm as much as I love the drama there is NO way I could get bored of seeing boring old happiness for longer than a few episodes. My bad I meant longer than a few mins in one episode. I was actually thinking how on earth they would get out f this one. Even if Brax wasn’t proven to have stolen the evidence – it would have been a sensible and realistic assumption for everyone to assume he did and he had Charlie’s help. Haha then the twist came. I actually understand why he planted the stolen evidence on the other cocaine drug dealer. Now at least there is no way for that guy to get away with his crimes but you have to laugh at the way Brax thinks he is all high and mighty and can stitch up other people but anyone does it to him (or his brothers) and he is ready to declare a war all-guns blazing. Lolling @the hilarious irony of it all! Still lolling..... seriously why does he think he is too clever or undeserving of just-desserts? Im thinking back to when he said ‘it’s all a game’ – lol he would make one awesome chess player the way he can visualize all the pawns without them moving! Hmmm someone will check mate him soon though if he is not careful. He is leaving an enemy list longer than the lies he has told! ermm that is a lot of enemies [dangerous ones at that]. And again he just spits out wisdom of the way the law works hah I love how he knows that stuff too! <3Brax! “My hand was forced in this. I did what I had to do” - it was this time but what about all the other times? Go Charlie for not wanting to just accept who he is and for realizing that if he doesn’t make a change then she would be losing herself on the wrong side of the tracks. It’s time to step up or step out Brax! “I’ll defy the whole galaxy, just to be here in your arms under the moon. Just so you know I’m in over my head” ---lyrics (Short Stack - Wendy) made for a great love story. It was an amazing choice of song playing during their romantic time together. The only negative was Liam’s heavy breathing in between the scenes! Take offence@Liam!

5414 Jokes - Charlie got an insight into how Brax quick thinks his way out of messy situations. Haha he really does know an awful lot about how the law works Brax’s relationship with his phone is as abusive as Sasha and Stu’s. Poor things get such a rough ride! Just an observation. Now that Charlie quit her job maybe she can stop ‘hating’ the way she feels about Brax. I have to admit I am excited at seeing her in the next few episodes without a uniform and how different she is individually and with Brax. Would love to see her more light-hearted instead of drowning in guilt and depression over loving someone she wish she didn’t. This whole Liam situation won’t help but once he wakes up and Bee gets over the lie then maybe we can get something new and interesting from her character. I am not saying it is right that she leaves her job or that he lets her but just interested to see where it goes in soap-land – even if it is only for a short period of time [which I hope it is – unless the writers have a new career or storyline in mind for her which will keep us hooked to her and Brax {ie. Chax-babies}]. You have got to love the look of frustration on the boys while the good girls struggle with the human-sized web of lies they are entangled in. “This is what happens when you cross the line. You can’t hang on to anything. You have to keep going until you don’t know who you are or what you stand for” woah that was a mouthful that Charlie blurted out. I love that she genuinely feels guilty and she was just as torn when Brax was being framed and no one was listening to her. Yaay for Brax being clear of the charges – so glad that it wasn’t just down to the evidence being stolen! I am so glad Liam was in the wrong and there are at least no cover-ups of reckless driving etc. I couldn’t handle that. I wonder if this will affect Brax and Liam’s work relationship. Both Brax and Heath are really smitten with their girls and are such softies when they want to be. Poor Heath - but no matter how much he thinks he likes/loves her – for some reason I can’t explain away the differences between them – the way I do with Charlie and Brax’s relationship. I doubt Heath’s love triangle is over just yet though. Whoever, if anyone, is next for him in the Bay – I really hope they bring out the soft version of him – lol not the version who is itching to get back to ‘business’. <3Brax! “I always thought you had outstanding instincts” lol Joyce may as well board the Chax train. It’s taking it’s time but I can sense it going to great places =) WISHING Steve Peacocke a Happy 30th Birthday. He has made the show absolutely amazing. Love watching him play Darryl Braxton!
