2022 Season - UK Episode Discussion

[H&Alover]

  Eating locals may not be a bad idea sometimes the trouble they cause.   

Cash wasn't totally in the zone though was he, he'd been out of town when it was set up. 

Wasn't that tat the one Xander had done earlier?  He's got it on his chest and front but he winced when John hit him on the arm?

I think Irene cares for Rose and Xander by extension so even if Jasmine has gone it doesn't mean they won't be looked after and cared for.   There certainly been many folk through the bay, some have stayed longer than others, though not many seem to have been mentioned after they go. 

Be interesting if Lyrik come round to Justin and Leah's for a meal as Leah is bound to pick up on the vibes between Theo and Kirby, then quizzing Justin about it and he'll be all flustered as only Justin can get when he's hiding something. 

Could be there is a lull in Ziggy and Dean's storyline, it does happen with couples.  He almost seemed to be blushing when John was praising him about how he had turned his life around and being such a good dad.  Naturally Jai is always going to come first and Ziggy wasn't blaming anyone she was just disappointed they didn't have as much time away as she hoped.   Although she assured Dean she was fine about staying in the bay the look on her face when she was looking out at the waves said a different story.

Alf's episode count this week:Two.

I actually didn't think Leah's plan to invite Lyrik round for dinner was all that bad or unreasonable, and it seemed like Justin and Theo were only objecting because of the awkwardness between Theo and Kirby.So I felt a bit bad for her there, even if she was acting rather like a runaway train.I am liking Theo these days, although I think there has been a rather awkward transition from proto-teen to young adult since he started hanging around with Lyrik.Anyway, he was rightly awkward about the idea of cheating on Kirby even with her permission, not to mention leading someone else on.

So, yep, one episode after Ziggy mentions that she still dreams of doing surfing comps, that one's resolved.To be fair, it's resolved in a way that actually sets things up for the future rather than reverting to the status quo.I did like Mackenzie being Dean's sounding board.

I find Theo pretty boring to be honest the only thing I enjoy are him and Justin together I sort of like Remi and Eden I guess they are ok but none of the band stuff is that exciting it is amusing that one minute they are made out to be really famous and other times they seem undiscovered it’s like the writer can’t decide what they want lyric too be Most the time I think support bands are meant to be small not more well known that’s point they tour around with bigger name to get spotted 

Dean could go with Ziggy and enter in these comps instead of staying behind 

[H&Alover]

I was shouting "Shut up Leah" when all she was banging on about was inviting Lyrik around and Justin did well talking her down by saying it wasn't a young person's thing.  You do remember what she was like when Chloe was invited round, practicality the third degree.  If Justin has picked up on it, she most definitely will.  Mac has now picked up on it and though Remi did dismiss it initially, it got his antenna twitching.  Didn't Kirby say "kiss her" but it looked like the blonde kissed him!  Nearly mistook her for Heather, can get confusing with all those blondes.  Theo does seem to have got over Chloe very quickly though, doesn't he? 

Does, I guess what followers Kyrik have, fans would follow their favourite group about whatever group they are supporting, so 'famous' in some circles.  

It is Ziggy's dream not Dean's.  Did she clear it with Justin and what about Theo's apprenticeship, isn't she his supervisor so needs to check out he does his next assignments and sign them off?

Remi thinking he's God's gift... 

Eden, brave to be wearing a mini that short. Thought Selina was the queen of that back in the day.

Theo/Kirby... Sorry, thumbs down.

Dean, minus Colby, Willow, Bella, Ziggy and even Jai, really IS lost!

And  As for "eating locals" as per H&Alover ...

Alf would be tough as! Chewin' on him a flamin' while

Maz's Sweetness would Spike your blood sugar.

Leah would be kind of spicy 

One bite of Justin, ya get drunk and slur a bit like him!

Mackenzie, you'd still be hungry!

Ziggy while not fat, would provide adequate sustenance.

And no, my real name is *not* Hannibal Lecter!

 

[Slade]

I did quite enjoy the banter with Remi and Dean.  I don't know, they might even be viable as friends at some point.  Ziggy, the woman he wanted Theo to kiss at Salt (Who for a split second I thought was Ziggy) and Bree - Presumably Remi has a type.  I did enjoy his date with Bree.  We'll see if he can make any further progress.  The handshake wasn't a good sign but I don't think he's quite given up yet.

It's been mentioned that Dean and Ziggy can be quite boring but I don't think Theo and Kirby are exactly what I would call exciting either.  I do think Theo is punching a little above his weight.

[Red Ranger 1]

So...did Remi get his council permit? When the episode opened with him busking outside the surf club again, I was expecting John to come out and demand to see it again.There was an awful lot of decent banter going on here between John, Dean, Eden, Bree and even Mackenzie chiming in, in a "Why do I bother with you people?" way.Bree's obviously still getting used to the way Summer Bay works given her chat with Irene and John.She might not want to hook up with Remi, but he might have made a friend, which could be more valuable.

I'd be interested to know exactly what age Theo and Kirby are meant to be.It feels like she's maybe 3-5 years older than him (which wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't still living with his aunt) and we're not supposed to notice.I'm not sure what Theo was expecting would happen given he knew the score when they got involved, but if he's not happy being kept a secret, then ending it is probably for the best.

[H&Alover]

Wasn't it Kirby who texted Theo to kiss this other woman - another blonde - to distract Remi? 

Even if Remi had applied for a permit it wouldn't come through that quick would it and not if John had a say in it.

I did feel a bit sorry for Remi, I know not everyone is a fan, but I like him.  Eden didn't help by teasing him, something old friends can do but even then it can be taken too far.   They were both bemused by Kirby's attitude after she'd had her last debate/argument with Theo. 

OK it was a fun 'date' with Bree and Remi, maybe she needed a break from John, but they did get on well, we found out a bit more about him and got to know a bit of Bree's history, different worlds, she's a hard worker by going what she said.   Easy intro into the locals and knowing your way around, she will be getting to know them a lot better soon enough.  She is the new 'go to' doctor now whatever your problem is and whether you're off duty or not!   

You do know she is going to have a past don't you?

That is proved again when she comes across Ziggy in the trailer when she collapses on the beach, makes what seems an outrageous suggestion to her which we later see shows it wasn't so after all. 

You do know she is going to have a past don't you?

I'd like to see Remi and Dean if not bosom buddies, then friends. 

I'd say Kirby is a bit older than Theo and could you imagine Leah's reaction if Theo said he wanted to move out!!!! She got humpy enough when he was spending all his time at Chloe's.   Theo doesn't get, and it's not his fault, how it was with Kirby and Bob, they started off all lovey and dovey, they all worked well as a team with Remi and Eden, then Bob started to get too big for his boots and thought he was always right.  

Dean seemed very lost without Ziggy, gave very vague answers when Justin asked him what he was going to do with himself, Mac had to practically throw him out, only such much a bloke can watch.

Ziggy goes off to first surfing competition and beats everyone yeaaah right and now she’s being offered all sponsorships after one competition again yeeeeea right I’m glad she’s having a baby just so we can stop with the silly surfing story I thought Dean was interested in surfing still well he was when he had that car crash but now it’s not his thing?? Very odd 

[Foellfan]

He may not be at competitive strength anymore, that would be a reason perhaps?
