Of course the tarot cards warn Marilyn about Heather  I tried them once and they said I would meet a dark haired stranger and run away together I can tell you my life has gone quite boring  So Tarot for me is a load of hocus pocus good second movie by the way Oh yes back to Heather in short I hope she causes a lot of trouble for everyone but so far she’s glanced at Marilyn a few times not as bad as Marilyn is making out I don’t think at the moment I mean I glanced at the barmaid at local pub a few times at she gave me free ice cream sooo But we are meant to find Heather spooky so I will go along with it for the sake of story but gosh she’s very sexy so sexy I forgot what Cash was upto I’m not really interested in anything else to tell the truth anyway haha

Quite a boring episode for me today I don’t really care about Cash I do think Rose is acting abit like his girlfriend probably taking what was written for Jasmine  No Heather that’s what I care about at the moment

The reason why Marilyn has put the emphasis on her intuition is because she doesn't want to tell Roo, Alf and Irene her issue with Heather is the way Heather looks at her.  The problem is she's probably right but has no actual evidence.  In fact excluding her, everything indicates to other people that Heather is OK and it's just a Marilyn problem rather than a Heather problem.

It's a shame we didn't see Bree in a bikini.  I like her voice although she seemed a little isolated being at the beach by herself before meeting Alf and John drinking on her own at Salt.  The rest of her time was spent having to still be professional even though she wasn't working.  It will be interesting to see how they integrate her into the show in terms friendship/romance.

Didn't really like Rose in that episode.  Having a go at the nurse and then having a go at Bree before making a point of leaving the Diner when she saw Bree later on.  I did agree with her though about not really seeing much point being in the Bay.  And I would argue the same for Xander.  I'm not really keen on this storyline with Cash as I don't particularly relish the prospect of seeing him moping around for the time being although he was a bit better today.  There's also how it make other characters act such as Felicity and Rose as just mentioned.

They do seem to be taking Bree out into the wider community more with her meeting Alf and John for the first time and her hanging out at the Diner. I wasn't keen on the way Rose spoke to either her or Amy but at the same time, Rose seems to be getting it in the neck from everyone else at the moment, from Felicity to Nikau and now Cash rejecting her. I don't know if he sees a time when he'll have worked through this and feel comfortable hanging out with them again.There's something rather meta about the fact Xander and Rose were seemingly brought onto the show as family for Jasmine and now they're still here without her.Objectively, I can't see any reason why Rose wouldn't go back to her life in the city but I quite like her so I hope she doesn't.Meanwhile, Felicity feels like she's getting nowhere but getting the ring off Cash and getting him to go out for a walk seem like important steps.

While I agree that Marilyn will probably turn out to have good reason to be wary of Heather, her lack of any sort of reasonable argument meant I was firmly on Roo's side here. When Marilyn said her intuition never lets her down, I was surprised no-one went "So where was your intuition when you hired Tex, then?" Alf getting involved seem rather unnecessary since neither Marilyn nor Roo really changed their stance, they just agreed to drop it.

Three Day catch up (I'm on a non-linear H&A schedule these days, sometimes double or triple up. I even do the old 6pm slot for myself)

Guess Maz *can* detect Auras! She got a vibe the late Penn and now has a funny feeling about Heather. It's a pity Floss is no longer around, they'd be kindred spirits on these matters...

"Luvvie that girl will be the death of someone"

Cue rolled eyes.

Rolling back to Monday, I'm admittedly mot the biggest Lyrik fan but Kirby looked GREAT in that dress.

Quick Cash gripe; *exhales*even when he's NOT around it's like he's the bloody centre of the centre of the Universe...

[H&Alover]

Didn't Heather tell Roo she'd been to boarding school, wouldn't that mean her parents had enough money to send her there or was it maybe a scholarship?  You can just get a 'feeling' about someone, you can't explain it, even to yourself.   I know Heather said she had to vacate the flat/house she was living in because her bond had run out, but would she have to leave with nowhere to go?  She couldn't have known Irene would just happen to have a spare room (or three).    It is the way Heather looks at Marilyn, she's quite civil to her but a bit cold. 

It can't be very conducive or comfortable for anyone having a tutorial in a busy diner can it?  

I'd forgotten Cash had been living at Irene's, she's going to be all on her own now.  I was thinking that about Irene offering a room to Heather but like you said Slade the caravan park would be nearer Marilyn the more to unnerve her.  It would be uncomfortable for him without Jas, though if I remember correctly he didn't want to move in when Jas first suggested it because it meant he'd be leaving Felicity alone, but she soon put him straight on that score. 

Odd twist of fate that Cash is, for the time being, living at the Parata house considering the way Tane, Ari and Nik used to feel about the cops.   He will/may need some help getting about and Tane is a big strong lad.  I'm guessing he took the ring with him when he and Irene drove up to the Shaws on the off chance she'd say yes.  It surprised/shocked Flick as of course she didn't know, he'd only told Xander.  His wanting it to be near him isn't that odd, like a security blanket for him, knowing it was near. 

Of course Cash doesn't know about the deal that was struck between Rose and Tane does he.

Felicity played a blinder at the hospital, she was the only one to be able to talk Cash down, not just wanting to scoot off in the middle of the night in his underpants but also talk him into seeing his physio the next morning and to agree to go on seeing his therapist.  It gave her a sense of what he went through when she had her breakdown.  She thinks she can't cope, but Tane is right she's a lot stronger than she thinks and she has him there to lean on. 

I'm guessing Heather hasn't got the relevant certificate to work behind the bar so would just be serving drinks, food, clearing said tables and cleaning them?  How handy eh that they need someone and up pops up Heather, Eden just happens to be passing by and Nik suggests her.  

Nearly didn't recognise Bree without her white coat/scrubs.   Obviously lived in a coastal town before now. as she can surf   Good to see her meeting (I guess you meant that Red rather than eat) more of the locals. That is the danger of being a doc in a small community you are NEVER really off duty.  Logan got collared into helping Maz when he was off duty. 

I get Rose was tightly involved in what Cash went through, and she blames herself, but she is NOT his next of kin so her rant at Amy and Bree wasn't necessary and unwarranted.  Rose, though reluctantly at first, did come to the bay with Xander to be close to Jasmine, Cash even had a hand in it.  Now she's dumped them, they are going to be a painful reminder and it's a small place so can't avoid them.

Cash was in the van with Rose listening in on the wire Tane was wearing so I think we can assume he knew. And doh! Post corrected. I swear I'm the only person that types malapropisms...

Well, it seemed Xander had disproved his own argument at first when Rose saw his new tattoo, but he managed to turn it around and explain why he felt Summer Bay was good for them.To be honest, I thought Irene should have listen to the "mind your own beeswax" advice rather than butting in, but her little intervention did seem to convince Rose that there's something for her in Summer Bay even without Jasmine and Cash.I quite liked Leah reminiscing about the number of people she's seen come and go, and wanting to make Lyrik feel welcome doesn't seem like too bad an idea.

I'm afraid I have to share the above views on Dean and Ziggy.They seem to have fallen into the same pattern Justin and Leah were in a while back, of getting nothing storylines full of manufactured conflict every week.Unlike Justin and Leah, who are engaging characters and watchable, I don't find anything of interest in watching them go round in circles: They work a lot better when they have other people to play off.

[pembie]

It is quite odd because they go out together in real life but as Dean and Ziggy I don’t feel any chemistry at all
