5398 = Awesome Braxton epi You have got to love the difference in pact-making by the girls and the boys. Haha the girls were totally in control - giggling away even and the boys were crying into their beers and swearing off all women. Aww “just a world of hurt” – hmm isn’t vulnerable, rejected Brax too cute for words? I feel for him but also love to see his softy side. Oh-so-many heartbreaking scenes! Gosh Charlie give the guy an ear or an arm already. He looked so lost. *sad* he knows he is going to lose Casey. Casey totally got me lost for words again today. Awesome acting! I doubt he was being suicidal but more reckless to numb his fears The river boys were in their element today weren’t they?! Heath: “have you got a pimple?”, “want a beer sweetheart?” LOL; I loved that we saw them having a laugh together and at each others expense – that was just too funny. Go Ruby! “The key is don’t think about it, just do it” – lol well that just sums up Heath in a very small nutshell. “I’ll spend a night in a cell with you, officer” who is Sam and why do I find it difficult to take him seriously?? Oh yeah - it’s because I have a crazy urge to trim his chin! Don’t you just love a drunken Brax? We need to see this again esp if he climbs more poles ! It is times like this when I would like to ring Heath’s neck for interrupting Chax time. How could he? After 6 whole weeks!!! Charlie was soo about to buckle a little. You could see her heart breaking for him. Aww well at least she knows for a fact he is not over her. Typical Charlie move to go running back when it is too late. <3Brax! “Stick to the waves, at least if they kill you, it’ll be quick” He needs to say more like this. Totally love his broken heart ohh and I forgot to add 3 Braxtons saving each others asses = totally hot!

5397 Cheryl is so unbelievably selfish! The problem isn’t who is looking after you; it is who is looking after your kids! And why the hell have they been responsible for looking after each other every step of the way. She would get top marks at bad-parenting school. Lol and YES you give up something that makes you happy IF it means you can’t control it or pay for it ie when your an ADDICT duhhh! I know the arguments against Brax but you have to feel bad for the situation he is in and has been in forever. “Hard times make for hard people” – seems he has been fighting Cheryl’s fires. Is this the whole reason behind the drug trafficking? The only way for him to earn masses amount of money to prevent his family losing the roof over their heads? Bailing his mother out of 70,000 - that’s just crazy out-of-hand addiction and it is so obvious this is far from over. Pity they are so against ‘do-gooders’ – she needs Gamblers Anonymous like 20years ago! And I highly doubt the 20 she got from Casey is going to be used to buy cheetos. Hmm I want to see some breaking down and bawling and declarations of how unfit she is as a mother [i wish!] from Cheryl if Casey gets convicted. Poor Casey – she is to blame for what is coming up. You have to admire the kids for being so protective and self-sacrificing for their mother though when she really doesn’t deserve anything close to it. Imagine what they could do if the person they cared for actually had a human heart?!? Gosh what a piece of work. Enough said! Brax is still pushing Casey to fight for his future with school qualifications and getting a decent job. You can see how much they both want it. I really hope with all the drama they still manage to send a positive note to the young-uns. When you make a mistake like he did, it shouldn’t be the deciding factor of whether you can be successful and have a happy future in the ‘real’ world. I actually need to see it more than the young-uns or else I am just going back to watching Disney movies . Okaaaay lol I am kidding before people think I am only 11. I enjoyed the scene with Ma/Brax/Charlie. Good to know they can have a chuckle at Cheryl’s dramatics now (and forever) while giving each other oh-so-adorable glances. Cheryl is so good at getting Brax to do what she wants. Charlie was soo right – it shouldn’t be like this. But poor Brax is facing the dilemma of either being responsible for Cheryl going inside or the possibility that Casey ends up in juvie. How can he be responsible for everyone and the river boys and still be the good guy that Charlie wants when they are all so great at screwing up? Hmm did Heath say it all – it’s in the genetics!?! Step 2 taken on the road of being an official couple: (1) Heath walked past Charlie without giving her cheek (2) Charlie: “I don’t know why we bother because the heart rules over the head every time” (3) Brax: “I’m on the straight and narrow now and funnily enough it doesn’t pay as well” (OMGosh.. was that honesty about his past shadiness? Woohoo) <3Brax! “Doesn’t seem to score you too many points for the woman your doing it for either” – kk a little more of this and a little less of the lying and we will be at Step-Wedding-Day in no time!

Specially for you @April! You should rant away about the epi. People will join in when they want to and/or have something to say x How adorable was the Heath/Bee/Darcy scenes today?! I have to admit I sometimes get a little disturbed by Heath laughing [something so wrong about it] and smiling - just because he suits the angry 'I'm-going-to-beat-you-up-if you-keep-looking-at-me' expression far more! But for the first time I was all awwing at his cuteness. Remember what he told Ma Braxton when he said Brax has a woman and that's the reason he can't stop with his stupid grin. That was totally THE grin today Darcy is just perfection. Her little hug to Bee. "You can stay for my sleepover too". You can really see the bond she has formed with her. I am a little worried that the writers are having us fall in love with this idea of the three of them but they are going to snatch it away [like the cruel people they are - jk jk@writers - I love ya]. But having said that I would love to see Heath and Darcy bonding without Bee too. I am sure little Darcy is a tomboy so it wouldn't be too hard to find some common ground and do things like surfing ... can't wait for that epi Check out Heath being all honest with Bee about his family issues. Clearly doesn't have as much of a shield with Bee compared to Brax with Charlie. But poor Brax will have to sort out Cheryl's mess.. come on Heath! Step up and take charge without falling into a mess! There is only a few years between you and you old enough and attractive enough to stand on your own two feet Still <3Brax! But <3Darcy too!

5395 Haha I have heard a few say that the Brax-Sid scenes is history repeating itself and that we already know the next stage of how this love story develops. Haha Brax beds Sid ... eww... this is just clearly so SOO VERY WRONG and only in Sid’s dreams could he have a bisexual encounter with Brax. That would be far too hard to sweep under the carpet and sent to Never-Never-Land. Although it got me thinking that Charlie and Brax are soo mirrored with their storylines so who knows?! LOL Nahhh I just kid... before some start promoting it for real, FOR REAL lol Seriously talking to the ‘monkeys’ (haha love John!) doesn’t really wok for Brax. Well not for long anyway. WTH Brax has to play Dad for all of them? No wonder he doesn’t get anywhere. Most parents can’t even control one teen - let alone 15 and a Heath!! I laughed at the comment made to John “I don’t take kindly to threats” – obviously he doesn’t! Lol unless they are originating from his mouth and fists. <3Brax! “So you do like her? It’s alright. It happens to the best of us” aww it sure does...I had to giggle at him referring to girls as "grass" and the boys as lawn mowers? Nice! Well I for one, already love the Brax-Stu scenes. He will definitely fill a void when a certain someone goes to film Tangle. Today was a snippet of the old-Brax (I missed his smile ) who looks out for the kids and tries to get the RBs to behave in a civilized way. Like I said - it is a shame their parents can’t be the ones and it’s all on his head and therefore when it all goes pear-shaped he is the one left being ‘threatened’. Poor Brax (in this case)!

You know we see things differently about the couple but I always agree with your arguments. They are completely correct and moral. Forget that I have a completely different idea of the way the s/l goes down - it doesn't matter as it hasn't played out that way so far. But I definitely think that most stories have the correct message in the end. ie you commit a serious crime and you will get punished for it. I think HAA has too many young fans and families watching together to have it go in any other way. As for Leah and Miles - I was totally annoyed about that s/l for a good while. I seriously felt like I was slapped - the way I acted to it. I have seen it so many times in the hospital and as someone who loves working with children and the bonds I see instantaneously form when a baby is born (most of the time) - it is just magic to me - so beautiful. But it hit me that they chose to do this with Leah because certain women are more prone to miscarriages than others and unfortunately go through it so many more times than what you could call a one-time tragedy. I have heard of women getting pregnant after having several miscarriages and they don't give up and eventually have a child and sometimes more. I hope that is what they are doing with Leah. Leah's baby storyline can't end here unless she is told she is 100% unable to have kids - it would be the wrong message to send out to women in the same position who let the fear and grief take over the hope of it one day working out. Sorry we got a little off-topic with Leah/Miles. haha I do it all the time on the Darryl Braxton thread --hope no one minds! Chax babies one day please @writers lol

5393 Intrigued by the safe house they had. Cute little thing on the outside; the inside not so much! Oh poor naive Casey, even if Heath has a plan, he should already know it is a sucky plan which ends up with him being in jail and with a sentence that is worse than the original. You would think that Heath would keep his nose clean considering how afraid of jail he is. Well you know it is bad if Heath starts blubbering in public. I personally don’t understand why there is talk of Casey going to jail. I thought as a minor he would go to juvenile detention centre at most? Isn’t that supposed to be a place that counsels young, troubled kids and equips them to make better decisions on returning to the community? Okay it’s not Disneyland but what to do? If you commit the crime – you got to do the time. Quote of the day “He is a Braxton. You reckon they are going to treat him fair?” At least it explains Heath’s stupidity. So IF Casey goes down for this – it will be because he has been written off as a troublemaker based on his last name and not his first. That just sucks for him. And the hard times have hit: Brax is strapped for cash by the sounds of it! If Stu has learnt anything today it is to not keep Brax waiting. Poor lamb looked a little frightened by an angry Brax . Fortunately Heath sulked off into his room so we could at least have Brax making a move on Charlie. How thoughtful of Heath to leave them together alone. It is about time he missed her. How long have they been at each others throats for? My bad - NOT been at each others throats?? <3Brax! “I miss you so much Charlie”: And the journey starts up again. Step 1 taken on the road of being an official couple: they both miss each other

5392 “I don’t blame you. He’s hot! It could have happened to anyone.” ohh Georgie how you made me smile. It was so unprofessional yet what a great argument. It should be enough to hold up in court - once the judge takes a look at Brax of course. What an awesome cop Watson is. Haha I mean friend. Shame Charlie gave her such a professional and uptight attitude. Aren’t they friends outside of work? I guess she has a point to prove to all her colleagues. Urgh the super cops are edging in on Casey. And Charlie is on fire and refusing to take any more lies lying down by the looks of it. I have to admit I liked Heath today. You could see his protective side kicking up a few notches. Don’t get me wrong he is a total idiot for acting before thinking. Well maybe he is thinking Brax can make Casey disappear with his overseas contacts. Did he consider Darcy? Or did he have a memory lapse and forget he was a father? At least he was too worried about Casey to stop and flirt with Bee – that is impressive for Heath. WHY has Brax gone to the city?? And why on earth could we not have followed him? Wonder if we will find out tomorrow or if it another piece of puzzle to the Braxton storyline. I am assuming that the drug storyline is not over yet? Yes halted majorly but there’s still soo many questions. <3Brax! “I don’t want that life for you because I don’t want it for me either. I just have a few more years and a few more bags to get rid of first”. Need to know what this heavy baggage is that is holding him back from leading a legit life. @shelly25 - your right I think the writers want Brax to be some sort of role model to the younger kids. Even if he is doing wrong at least he doesn't expect the younger kids to follow in his footsteps and encourages them with school. I assume Stu will share a lot of scenes with Brax and Casey fans won't miss him as much. As for Casey being jelous? I doubt it

Got to love Heath’s sense of humour. He and Watson are always comedy to watch. Lol do the writers not like Dan Ewing?? He is the one we always see getting slapped and punched by his brothers and mother. The irony since you would think he would be the one to do the punching. He totally deserved it though. Poor Casey is in turmoil over what he has done and Heath’s first reaction should have been worry - NOT him being upset that he’s not in the loop or proud of his kid bro for being an arsonist . Hmm paternal Heath needs to come out to play! My fave scene was Watson and Casey [huge Watson fan =)]. And it is clear that the cops know it was him and now they are just searching for evidence to prove it. I think she was genuinely trying to help Casey. It would be nice if Casey was the first to realize that the cops aren’t the enemy. They have a job to do – rightly so – to keep the world at peace an all. But they don’t have to be stone cold and without empathy to do their jobs well. I think with Brax being really worried for Casey and his future – he really hasn’t thought this through very well. Covering it all up will do more harm than good if more evidence is found. Shame Heath and Brax walked in when they did – I reckon Casey was close to breaking. So glad he told Ruby at least. <3Brax! “You never let cops in the house and you never talk to them” – So crazy! It just stresses how forbidden his affair was with Charlie. Won’t it be fun when he starts talking to Charlie the cop and not seeing her job as the enemy. I guess we are waiting for him to change a habit of a lifetime.

oo it's a little bit lonely. 2 rantings in a row on this thread .. ehh well here I go! Ohh Brax. Something has to change. How can it keeping going on AND ON like this? I was waiting patiently for him to say something to Charlie. I mean he is the master of manipulation. Jeez louise – not even a ‘thanks for saving my butt’. Seriously, he should have told her the truth in a coded message: “It wasn’t me. But I am protecting my brother. PS it’s not Heath *wink wink*” – lol how hard is that?? However, jokes aside, it is not like I don’t understand why he didn’t tell her but the truth is she just ends up looking like the fool. And they can’t be together if that behaviour continues. Hmm if he told her it was Casey, then that would be betraying his brother (not to mention ruining his future) and putting Charlie in a difficult position too as she would either have to lie to her colleagues or do her job and betray him. I give up - what a dilemma ! There was some nice acting by Esther in all her scenes today too. I liked Joyce’s little appearance and I am glad he didn’t give her too much of a hard time considering her compromised state. Also enjoyed the part Watson had to play. I think she has Charlie’s back. I am soo looking forward to her interaction with Heath. The main scene that stuck out with me today was the spat that Heath and Casey had re Casey following Brax’s advice about finishing school. Again there was some fantastic acting by Lincoln. It was awesome the way he bought Darcy into it and challenged the type of role model Heath would be. He was totally right to go off on him. But you have to appreciate Heath’s response “My kid is NOT joining a gang”. I think this sums up pretty much the family dynamics they have had. Brax has been like a father to Casey hence his push to give him a life that was and is better than his own. I think Heath has only ever known what it is to be a brother but now with Darcy in the picture – he is really going to understand what Brax has been fighting for this whole time. Isn’t that what most parents want for their kids? To give them the opportunities they never had. Pretty sure we saw it today with him getting the counselors card off Bee. It would only be considered one tiny step for man but it’s one giant leap for Heath. <3Brax! “I’m going to prove myself to you” hmm Brax needs to follow in Casey’s footsteps and prove himself. Clocks ticking and everyone is going gray waiting!

I lost a few long nails to this episode! It was worth it though. “And leave a cop as a witness, how dumb do you think I am” ooo silly question Ham. You untie the cop and let her stand around behind you to watch as you kill the man she loves! May as well of shot yourself in the foot. That way at least you would have survived. Poor kid was an amateur. Found him entertaining today and every other day though. Awesome job done by Benedict Samuel. IF Casey gets caughtfor the fire and put in juve – he’ll be spending time with Hammer-like teens. There was another great moment between Brax and Case today about giving himself a chance at a future by finishing school. I guess the writers found their way of keeping Case in uniform for next year. Lol how dare they use and abuse him like that! Poor kid; mean writers! I have to say though at the end when Hammer fell to the ground I actually felt sorry for him. His brother Jake really didn’t have his best interest at heart. To make his kid brother do anything to get revenge on his behalf led to his ultimate demise. Am I the only one to find this tragic ? On the other hand of the spectrum - you have Brax doing his utmost to protect his siblings and Charlie at any cost - even his own. I understand the danger was Brax’s fault to start with but he is a world away from having the “evil” title that we witnessed from the Pirovich brothers. There were some awesome one-liners. “Haven’t you guys played this game before” - the cheek! haha I am sure they have - for real and for ‘fun’ Have to admit I chuckled at Hammer’s story telling ability. Aww if he had a Brax in his life – he could have really got into English at school! Note to self – don’t read his fan fiction – it has no happy ending! I am such a dreamer [and naive?]; I have way too much faith in this character. I really thought he would call the cops. I mean the outcome was too obvious. He and/or Charlie were going to be killed. What did he expect from Hammer? To serenade him with his gun in front of Charlie - seriously? Hmm he could have been smarter surely... even Hammer didn’t expect the cops! Hoping he did call the cops [definitely naive!]. Otherwise how will he explain being armed with a loaded gun? I guess in SB very few explanations are needed. The first scene between Charlie and Brax was cute. Him trying to protect her. She being her stubborn self and refusing to believe she was in any real danger and that being a cop was the equivalent to being Super Woman! But I liked the way they parted with telling each other to be careful. Hammer really should have said less with Charlie. Lol was it just me or did he make Brax out to be some kind of Knight-in-Shining-Armour: stressing his flawed-ness in wanting to protect the people he cares about and not being ‘strong’ enough to put him in hospital. Lol I thought he was trying to persuade Charlie to marry the guy <3Brax! “I don’t want you to be apart of this world Casey” ermm is Brax going legit now *excited grin*? Charlie did the deed. No need to thank her – it was her job and she is protected by her badge an all - unlike him [ or is he? lol imagine if he is HAA's own Bond and has a license to kill]

There were more awesome scenes with Casey and Brax today. I totally felt for Casey when he said he was gutless and scared and he didn’t want to go to jail. With trying to prove himself worthy to Brax and trying to save his brothers from being killed – I actually think he is the smartest - after watching all the scenes play out. Out of Charlie, Cheryl and Heath – Casey was the only one out of all of them to actually stop Brax from doing anything silly. Although luck was on his side too with the HQ being full of illegal activities. Pretty please let him get away with it @writers! He really does have attributes like Brax. The way he watched his back but then the remorse he showed too was endearing. Brax is a lot of things I know but there are plenty of great things too. And Casey showed some major snippets of the great that Brax has influenced on to him imo. -Really impressive acting (totally both deserve logies I think); there was so much intensity – both of anger and love. So Hammer is inside for the moment because he was trying to save his guns from being melted alive. What a hero! He is going to be one mad man when he gets out. Brax is right the fire didn’t solve anything long term but no harm in procrastinating death . I’m excited for Monday’s drama to unfold. Another 3 episodes next week with them (I think – I hope I am not dreaming that up)! Okay I think this was the best Charlie and Brax scene we have seen in a while as they were sharing air without taking sharp snipes at each other. For the record she believes him. For the record we knew that! <3 Brax! “Now that’s taken care of, can I ask you in for a cup of ‘coffee’ ?” If she had said ‘yes’ I would have been ready to diagnose her with an addiction to ‘coffee’. It is not the right time just yet but hoping for some great make-up scenes soon. They are LONG overdue PS LOVE the heroic Heath too! Haha so much chemistry between him and Liam too

Crazy good episode today! This drama is so awesome. Just need to find reasons to put them in suits fortnightly then we are good to go Wow such a nice change to see Heath being the sensible and smart one. What was that little dig at the cops? “Cops are useless... Got to hand them everything on a plate”. That is a huge assumption for someone who supposedly wouldn’t dream of going to one?! Hmmm interesting OR does he know what he is talking about?? Wouldn’t Hammer think that Brax snitched on the shooter? As well as being responsible for the fire. He was supposed to meet with him at Jake’s headquarters (I assume) and then the fire goes down. Uh-oh revenge is a b****! I was boo-ing A LOT at Casey stuffing up but after seeing today’s episode I totally empathize with him. Okay if he ends up in some deep doo-doo for this then BOO-ing YOU @writers! The only issue is – and it’s a big one – now Brax will do everything in his power to cover for Casey. As if he didn’t own enough stress and responsibilities at the moment. However, I will call him SuperCase for today. He pretty much saved Brax’s life (and therefore this thread) so today he is my hero. Brax had said what looked and sounded like a ‘so long’ to Casey yesterday and his mother today. Both such sweet scenes. She didn’t even go crazy at him for Charlie. Makes me think that is why he was so up for coming clean about his and Charlie’s relationship earlier on. It seems he knows they are all a bunch of loud barkers but they don’t bite. Ohh sad days - I miss fun and flirty Chax. Mama B was impressive today. “... him having the HOTS for you” and “your bad for him” and there was me thinking he had done pretty well for himself. Ehh well you can never impress the mama-in-laws anyway! It was the first time we saw them have a conversation where Charlie wasn’t trying to “do her” for something. Cheryl is very intuitive. I love her character when she isn’t being a terrible mother of course! Ohh side note: she looked more human today; scrubs up very well. And nicely disguised tip off. The day we have another Braxton-Buckton BBQ will be oh-so fun. I REPEAT I miss the fun and flirty couple! There was soo much sniping in the interview room today. I wasn’t sure if I found it funny or I should be depressed about it? “Im sure you could nail whoever you want” – you better bet on your ass she can! “Maybe I am dumb. I do a lot of dumb things” - finally some sort of confession <3Brax! “We would both do anything for the people we care about” including getting shot to end a gang war Today we saw Cheryl, Brax, Heath and Casey ALL taking steps – some completely foreign - to protect each other. I really think their blood is much thicker compared to the average Joe!

Thanks @Whitney and @LauraPhilly (PS we have something in common - I adore HP immensely) – My for the Braxtons brings me here! lol@Einstein oh my bad I meant Hammer. So he used the cops as an alibi while reporting the car missing. Meanwhile his master plan cleverly in play because Brax wasn’t wearing shades and the lime green was so blinding he didn’t see its colour. Sure the hit-man/boy? was paid to miss – nothing to do with the fact that Brax tackled Charlie to the ground! Couldn’t help but find the dorky laugh he gave at the station hilarious not to mention I noticed his teeth were as yellow as the sun. I guess the message is juveniles don’t get time to brush? Can you imagine him owning and working the bar? The customers could get side orders of trashy back-chat, "shots", kidnaps and knifings depending on what takes your fancy! Have to say great acting by Benedict Samuel - Conduct disorder portrayed perfectly! [i make fun of him being a kid but kids can sin too] Aww poor Heath – he is way out of his league. The “Why” question really wasn’t a difficult one and you could really see him breaking a sweat over it but loved how he did-a-Heath and snapped at her like he was a 5year old who didn’t get his way. Darcy, don’t question Daddy dearest again please! But Bee to the rescue fortunately before the kid outran him. Their scenes were great. I am going to enjoy watching his “other side” come alive. Okay so I got a little teary with Brax and Casey scene. I’m far from strange. You could feel the genuineness in his “I’m sorry” and the intensity of his need to protect his brother, his family and Charlie. “You haven’t got it in you; that’s a good thing” hmm I don’t think that was supposed to challenge Casey but it sounds like it might. Brax said it before that they could end up dead at any moment in their line of “work” and it’s looking like it’s coming to a head Wonder how many rendezvous Brax has had with that midnight delight. Dang WTH is Brax going to do with a gun? Something simple and effective! Haha I don’t think shooting Hammer is either one of those. I agree with you @lollypop quote of the day “But after I’ve done this, that’s it... I mean we’re done. No more. We’re going legit” What a laugh... how does one go legit after committing murder? BTW I am 99% certain he doesn’t mean murder. Reason being Brax thinks Hammer doesn’t have the guts or muscle to do any fighting/shooting himself and probably just wants to help him forget that he is potty trained. I have to say though I am loving the use of “we”. In their dreams! I mean ours lol It is obvious he cares so much for Charlie (in the same way as his family) but seriously he treats the cops like they are an alien species. However, that cop was pretty rude to him. Aren’t they all? It’s the reason that the RBs have become the way they are right? When they ALL get treated like dog crap for the actions of a few and the reputation of their hood. <3Brax! “We are going legit” – I will get my party hat out once I see this in action until then ... rofl

Note rantings are from episode 5279 AND 5380. I watched them both today =) = Awesome. The scenes have merged in my brain – apologies! Okay so there is good news and bad news. The bad news is Tegan’s dead. Poor Darcy is all I can say – she was a good mother (mostly) if nothing else. The good news is she didn’t go while “on the throne” (haha LOVE Colleen – she’s so right that would be a terrible way to go) “I suppose he does see something good in you” ermm helloo T, she is ALL good - they are definitely opposites. I loved the scene between Charlie and Tegan. Saskia said at the start that she hopes we like T. Have to say she came and went with a bang AND there were a few more surprise bangs in between. Great actress - talented at playing the bad girl. Not to mention attractive too! It was ironic that she was rescued by Charlie and in a subtle way she explained herself and the reason she acted out of spite by telling Hammer. But she said it herself what comes around goes around...bad choices do have a way of catching up to everyone imo (RB-haters no need to fear) How rude bub – Brax is NO dog! Hmm that kid needed a good punch to knock some sense into him but Im afraid that it might have destroyed the little brain cells he possessed. Haha @Heath telling Brax to be smart (the irony is too funny) and looking “all pretty” while he goes to look after Darcy. Hammer’s hitman is ridiculous. He needs to go back to Crime school. Yeah the lime green car is totally inconspicuous . Im sure the cops could have seen it if they were watching from Mars! Unless their plan was to try and blind them – in that case they are super smart. Good job Brax is a fast runner – again amateurs giving him a nice prolonged warning not to mention SEVERAL threats. Looks like he may have got there in time and hopefully it’s a graze at most. How convenient Not sure her tiny frame could take a bullet. I liked the conversation with Bee. I think everyone finding out there is/was something between them is a good sign. They are not in a relationship right now but I personally don’t think what they had was real relationship at any point in time anyway. Firstly the lies have to stop. Secondly this war with the rival gang is out of control. But to Chax fans everywhere – it’s inevitable they will end up together. And totally convinced it’s heading in a great direction. But all the dramatics will have to be played out first. However, I’m sure we will get plenty of scenes that will keep everyone happy in the meantime =) <3Brax! “Someone is out to hurt the woman he loves but how far will he go to get revenge” Awesome Promo.... mmm Brax in a black shirt – not bad at all!

Gosh Bianca!! Brax is sandbagging in Mangrove River - not dancing in the rain OR surfing in the crazy storm (lol that would be a challenge for him) OR bumming on the beach! Last time Heath saw him - he was trying to get his Mum out of the pub. He needs to forget her and come to SB asap. We (-the fans of course) miss him. Ohh and LOOK OUT - Heath has a heart embedded in all the muscle. The cutest scenes today were with him and Darcy. I love the fact that his first scene with her and it was far from awkward (which is what we saw with Brax and Darcy). It was like he was right at home with the idea. Stupid Tegan - made a bad situation ten times worse by leaving with Darcy while the storm was getting worse. Something tells me what comes around goes around... Casey hasn't told Brax about leaving school but I assume it is still the same day that he told Gina where she could stick his HSC. Erm Ruby yahh Brax will go crazy. Not sure what we are supposed to be seeing with Casey right now. He seems like one conflicted teenager. But I loved the way he stood up for his home and brothers today. Blood is thicker than water and he seems to think it's one or the other! --It will probably end up all-good in the end but I am a little nervous about the journey (in a totally healthy and non-obsessive way - ofcourse) <3Brax! Ehh it has been too long I need new quotes

Awww you both love Darcy/Heath as much as I love to discuss Brax! haha love the Braxtons though - ALL of them. I think the journey that we will see for Heath will be great. We have already seen snippets of his potential of being a nice guy to Bee and even to Casey/Brax/Cheryl. His true colors will show with Darcy too. But I don't think it will be as simple as that. Maybe that is fortunate as it is the drama (and that journey) that will keep us hooked. It is defo the drama that keeps me ranting about Darryl Braxton lol Excited for this week! Drama-filled

3rd Rant of the week. Gosh it is a little exhausting - the s/l. Is this why they are only usually on twice a week? Aww sneak peek into their lives again when Brax was telling Sid they were Stu’s family. And if he wanted he could find his dad in a bar and his mother at the pokies. *Sad face* – some will think there behaviour has zero justification but can’t help but think where would teenagers like Stu and Casey be without Brax and the RBs? The reversion back to his old ways was as clear as day especially noted when talking to Heath. Rival gang crossed a line and big bad Brax was ready for a fight to show them who was the boss and what would happen if they dare to repeat. It would have worked maybe(?) if they didn’t end up brawling in a public place. I really enjoyed the fight scene though, especially when Brax picked the rival up and put him on the snooker table. Again some of them are just children yeah?! Heath is to blame FULLSTOP! FACT! Haha good one Charlie leave the plank of wood with a killer toddler while you drive off and leave an officer! “Im watching my weight” – pity you can’t arrest him for manorexia and save him from himself Hooray for small miracles. John likes Brax. Oopsie I think he jinxed himself. He should have touched wood. At least Brax wasn’t a total tool. He wanted to take it outside the SC and rushed to John’s aid asap. Aww he did look super sorry at being an idiot. I think you could see it wasn’t even about Charlie but more about letting himself down and someone innocent getting hurt because of his idiocy. Don’t really know where they go from here except I know that with what happens to Casey on Friday – he is going to feel even more responsible. “She is not my girlfriend”... hmm said to Heath BUT still something going on inside that huge head of his. Rolling over to the cops is just one thing they don’t do no matter what (hah unless Brax does it for fun!). They must have pinky promised each other <3Brax! They still love each other though based on the looks they exchange even when they are angry. Clear as Night - I mean Day On a serious note even miniatures can be capable of evil. Juveniles with knives and guns = not cool!

Thanks@Whitney. I appreciate your love for Chax also lol Sooo you know when you are a HAA addict... when you are super sleepy yet still force yourself to watch the epi and rant on BTTB about it! I am liking this new relationship that is going to form with Brax and Liam. Liam was looking a little directionLESS but I can see this being the start of something more interesting for him. Hallelujah Got to love 3*Braxton-time. “You want a hanky, you finished crying yet” haha this was a good giggle. Why is Heath being such a baby? The RBs have hardly been walked over, have they? Bar Heath and Brax getting a beat/stabbed for dobbing on Jake and the car getting burnt – it seems to me Heath has done worse to get that reaction so should shut it and not instigate anything further. haha but I guess where is the drama in that? Im thinking he just wants RESPECT but it seems he is not much of a giver. Casey STOP being a baby. You don’t want to be involved and sliced to pieces – be grateful you have PEOPLE (Brax, Ruby, Miles at least) who are trying to protect you from this life. Gosh I don’t think I can take any more unnecessary complaining from him! I too am waiting for it to “hit the fan” Okay while I am at it – Brax STOP being a big baby too! “I have nothing to do with cops anyway” ermm yeahh you do - when it suits you! Happy to sleep with one too (-- YES SHE WAS A COP ALL ALONG SURPRISE SURPRISE – you were mostly removing a cop uniform?!). Just saying WTH is with the change in attitude? Is he stung at her putting her career before him (If soo, he needs to grow a pair!)? Is he still trying to protect her (I doubt it – but she needs protecting from his ass-ness)? Hmm based on their scene last week – I think it is just that he wants a supportive girlfriend and not a supercop. He wanted her off this case and didn’t expect her to come clean and still be the main cop who is after him and his family (including RBs). And the look they gave each other today was that of 2 different people on opposite sides of the line. I feel like Brax sees his match in Charlie – I don’t think he can quite believe that he has though. He is just so used to doing things his way period! Who knows if I am making sense??– it’s mind boggling! But anyway that’s why I love him. He is a psyche head case AND a smart one (MOSTLY) at that. Poor Stu – lesson learned? <3 Brax! "We are not doing anything wrong" LIAR I can see the future – and it doesn’t look pretty for all gang members and people surrounding them

Hahaha I liked how Liam appreciated Heath’s humour. He is right - it is good: “I hear they are hiring checkout chicks at the supermarket”. Lol @them carrying cricket bats around with them. You would think they were scared of the teenage dirtbags. Hmm like Brax, Heath has a complete split personality once again proved when talking to Bee. Bee is a little forgetful and too easy to impress? Just saying Brax is still the boss man! Or is he? Heath has too much influence over the rest of the RBs clearly. Brax gave them orders and it just fell on deaf ears OR is it dumb heads??! Okay first thing is first. Well I should have said it first lol. Stu is CUTE! Even if he is playing a 17 year old. I loved the little man-hug he gave Brax “Looks like your finally one of us” – haha is that all it takes – a tiny tatt? Lol any Tom, Dick or Fozzie bear can do that. Well I think to Brax it was a ‘welcome to the family’. And to Heath it was ‘welcome to the wrong side of the law and if you roll over on me I’ll skin ya!’ - kind of moment. Well he is a naive kid (albeit charming too) who seemed a little too eager to impress the brothers. Poor sweet but foolish boy – I am thinking he is going to learn a valuable lesson soon enough. Ohh and noo he is not just a sex object. Im sure HAA writers have much more planned for him Ermm helllloo Roo- is anyone home? – wasn’t Brax an obvious choice to ask? Opposed to Liam for the second time in what 2days? Or Colleen whose friend Madge Wilkins - has a friend Beryl at Bowls who has a friend who works at the OpShop who has a son who might be looking for a place to rent??? Lol had to be done! (LOVE Colleen) Casey – great character and the fear/worry soo well played. I think the actors do a real believable performance of these characters. I don’t get how a supposedly smart teen thinks carrying a flick knife is in anyway the right thing to do. Even if using for self-defence, gosh it can do so much damage. Goldfish memory aye ...not looking good for his HSC! Brax nearly died after a knife attack ... ehh well I do understand the logic I guess but it doesn’t make it right! <3 Brax! I liked the interview with Steve and Esther. I have to say loving Esther more and more. Can see a huge difference in Steve’s confidence (note I didn’t say cockiness). Has grown miles since the last interview they had together. Unfortunately though thought the questions asked were BEYOND ridiculous. Would have liked questions centered around Brax and Charlie not Steve and Esther and their private lives? The responses weren’t great but I couldn’t blame them. Lol I would have said ‘mind your own Buzzz’ if someone random asked me how I like my eggs ohh screw it. I like mine sunny side up! SEEE... WHO CARES ABOUT THAT?!

Awesome Awesome AWESOME response by Inspector Joyce to Charlie’s confession! LOL Charlie should have got one of the responses that she stated herself. But nah he tells her pretty much to hush up and carry on with doing a great job. Joyce didn’t even tell her to end the relationship if she wanted to keep her job lol just told her his opinion on Brax - which wasn’t great but apart from VJ and Elijah who hasn’t got something bad to say? YAAAY something bigger is going on! It is about time I said it again. It has been a while lol --OMGosh writers - Please be doing something awesome with the Braxtons. Something undercover So T thinks Darcy is safer this way and I do agree. I loved Heath’s reaction to it all. He really has a paternal instinct already – who would have thought?! At least Brax has accepted that Heath is hardly in his control. I loved how he went to discuss with Charlie about coming clean. Better than trying to make everything okay by denying to her Heath will use this against them. I really think it was an over-reaction on his part asking her why she didn’t quit her job. Did he expect her to be taken off this particular drug case? I think so. I think that is the reason he flared up. He can’t exactly be happy to have his girlfriend trying to arrest him and his crew. But it is great that she stood up for her career and what she has worked for. Girl Power! “Your whole life and there’s no room in there for me is there?” lol she DIDN’T say that! Insecure much?? Jake is the puppet master behind Hammer. He must be! The teeny bopper really looks way out of his depth and doesn’t look like he can handle a Heath let alone a bunch of RBs. I am nervous-excited about the gang war and how each will retaliate Giggled at a few Heath moments. He doesn’t like sympathy much – does he see it as disrespect?! haha "Chicks don't eat carbs at night" Either he has a really strong hand OR that wall was made of paper. Im going with the latter! “I listened to you and it gets me nowhere”... haha as opposed to listening to himself which gets him a reunion with “his cousins” (love John lol) <3Brax! “Nice day for a surf officers. Maybe Brax can show you a few things Buckton” – erm 100th? mention about Brax teaching Charlie to surf! Yes Please writers – make it happen. STOP teasing --Brax standing in the middle looking at both of them pretty much summed up his current situation See you next Week for RB-dramatics

Hmm tut tut I think too soon to joke about T – was highly inappropriate. So much for not seeing her again! He was honest with Charlie though about Darcy which was great. Im glad he will be proud of Casey either way. Especially with what is coming up. I guess Ruby said it all – with Heath on the inside, Casey had a chance to do well but now he’s out bye bye Casey’s HSC and future?! I missed Heath. That breath of air he took... yaay for freedom! Great timing too... way to ruin Chax make-up session! He is right though. It did look rather cosy Lol Brax’s spat with Heath lasted like 5mins – that how long they weren’t brothers! Boy Brax has magic words and a wrap -able little finger. Have to say my FAVE scene today was when Hammer turned up in the middle of the Braxton feud. What is it with Heath always getting smacked?! He is going to get a complex soon surely especially after the tiny tots got to him. It just made my day watching them – the clothes, the gestures. I was rofl-ing at the kick thrown in the air after he punched Heath. Seriously?! Haha it was a kindergarten move Well I am itching to see this new side of Heath that will appear for Darcy. Poor Heath having both Brax and Casey scoff at him doing this for Darcy so he can step up and make a life for her. Okay so I actually think Tegan has a plan - as ridiculous as it may be. So I am thinking she is keeping Jake non-the-wiser about dobbing him to Brax. Also when she isn’t shaking from fear at the thought of him, it seems like she is a master at the art of manipulation. She is trying to help Heath by talking to Jake? Gross thought – she is back “together” with him while he is inside [bucket needed to vomit] – sounds like she might be using more than words to attempt to make him listen?! So I can’t understand the merry-go-round we are on for Charlie and Brax’s relationship. On-off-on-flung off-jumping back on; they want to be together, they can’t be together. I feel dizzy thinking about it. The only way I can describe what I see is that they are drawn to each other like MAGNETS. It seems they both chose each other today over everyone else?! I am glad that she didn’t trust him about keeping Heath quiet. She is right; Brax is in serious case of denial thinking that Heath actually will listen to him and not do as he pleases - when he pleases! I am happy she chose to call her boss to confess. At least now it is not in her hands. Someone unbiased makes the call on her future with Brax and/or professionally as a cop and there is less likeliness of her actually compromising the case further. <3Brax! “What we have is really special” – have to say it wasn’t my fave scene of them (something off about the angle of the scene but this line was cute... bravo Brax!) ohh yeah and the whole "I couldn't deal with it if you backed off again" - lol neither can we!!

Really? do you have a link to this?? Don't know if it's online yet though.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqq9uy77uOM&feature=feedu Enjoy maciam

I like the way the interactions between Brax and Ruby are becoming better and you can see a relationship forming there. I liked how Brax asked her about Darcy’s present. There was a kind of a cute vulnerability in his look while he was asking. And Ruby is hilarious. Glad she is a human child again these past few months. Casey once again standing up for Brax and proving he has his back. Brax has only known for a short time that he maybe a father but the way he and Casey talked was as though he had actually fallen for the idea himself or Darcy maybe?! The scene with T was just scared, crazy, mis-placed angry talk on her part. I mean turning it around and blaming him for everything was just ridiculous. Didn’t like the comment she made about him hitting her. I doubt he has history of that with any women but the guys she is probably used to being around probably would! Maybe she felt like she deserved it? (I won’t argue that she doesn’t). WAOHH Heath is Darcy’s Dad?!! Nooo way I would never have guessed lol I honestly had a sunken heart when I saw the scene with Darcy and Brax. Man this is THE scene which optimises the reason I love the character. He is the one who is going to step up for her even though she is not his. Giving her the board, promising to be there for her as an uncle just stresses the “good” side of this character! Darcy is a brilliant young actress. Maybe I am blinded by the cute dimples but w/e I am soo glad that she is an addition to the Braxton family. I can’t wait for Heath to find out. Maybe Darcy can run away from home and her BAD mother and cue Heath finding out the truth?! I am thinking we have a little more left from T before she leaves It can’t be possible for anyone to hate the scene on the bench! Can it? “She’s not in your league Charlie, nowhere near, not for a second” aww and then some puppy eyes at each other... too cute! Giggled at the “Have you come to arrest me” – glad they can joke about jail! --Great choice of tune for the background music! <3Brax! Saw the sneak peek. Best I have seen. Can’t wait for Monday/Tuesday

As much as I love to watch an epi with Brax and his dramas, I have realized I have an addiction to ranting about it on here. HELP NEEDED ASAP! Nice little scene with Ruby being nice to Brax. Also the mention of Charlie clearly not being upset with him... Im sure Brax was secretly jumping for joy at the news! Doesn’t hurt to show it Brax – just saying! Casey was my favorite character in this epi though. Taking care of Brax was a role reversal which I loved! @abbie... yep he had tears in his eyes when he found out about the lie. “Despite everything that is going on she is our mum and she cares about us” – it was funny because I had flashbacks of her throwing her son out on the street for wanting to go to school. But I guess he is right in a way. I did see Cheryl’s caring mothering side today. She cares about all her sons even if she shows them in different ways to normal humans! Also noticed she is smart (street NOT book), manipulative, conniving, likes to lie – but like the true hypocrite she is – punishes those who lie to her. Also she is still getting ‘spending money’ from Brax. Haha SURE! The water system needs looking at... so does the itch in her fingers at the lack of poker exercise no doubt! Silly naive Casey – if he and his hardened and muscled brothers struggle to live with Ma, how will a random boarder cope aye?! Gosh I do love her though lol “Wash up boys...” as though they are 10! Cute that Darcy finds her scary – she must be a Braxton. Also the family have been cast very well. Cheryl, Heath and Darcy have very similar features. As do Brax and Casey. Nice Casting HAA! I absolutely adore Darcy. Cutest kid ever! She needs to get away from her mother before she is old enough to understand her wrong-doings. “She reminds me of Casey”... thought that was a nice touch considering Brax raised Casey and obviously she would have character trait overlaps with her being their blood. It was a typical Brax move to let his guard down when it comes to family. He decided against the DNA test to protect doing more harm to Darcy than what he thought he had already done Nice tad bits of info: Stu (RB) was mentioned, ha and his dad can fix the (non-broken) hot water system! “Make sure you come round for dinner this week”... ermm sorry Cheryl that’s not going to happen. Just you and Deal and No Deal all on your lonesome <3Brax! “I think you’d be a great Dad...you pretty much brought me up” YES Casey... most of us agree with you on that. Make it happen in a LEGIT way writers!
