2022 Season - UK Episode Discussion

I've put this in spoiler tags just in case -

It suddenly struck me about Heather's surname being Fraser/Frazer, I know the writers would have the intelligence to go back that far but wasn't there a pair of brothers in the Bay with that name once? I wondered if, tenuously but then this storyline is, whether Marilyn's boss could have been a relation? I think the timing would be right.

What crime has Marilyn committed btw?

Breaking into Heather's van.

I'm glad Leah told Justin about Heather and Marilyn.  The more people that know the better.  I don't know what possessed her to go round to try and talk to Heather given that Heather trashed her place.  Was she going to tell her to back off again or hoping for a genuine discussion about it?  Heather has obviously realised that she slipped up big this time and has absconded but I don't think this is the last we've seen of her.

It's interesting the role reversal with Felicity and Cash.  This time last year he was the responsible one and she was reckless and antisocial.  Now she's the one with a business and stable relationship and looking out for him and Cash seems like an overgrown child.  Felicity sometimes gets on my nerves now so I was quite glad she caught Cash and Eden together.  I found Remi quite amusing.  Firstly his reaction when he saw them sneak off in the bushes and then his attitude when Felicity figured out Cash/Eden were seeing each other and quizzed him about it.

We'll see how long Cash stays mad at Rose for.

Lyrik seem to be two separate groups these days. I think they work better that way…

Given that Cash insisted on inviting himself along to the break-in, he didn't seem particularly interested while he was there, wanting to dismiss the whole thing as kids and then refusing to follow up on the suspect Leah gave them because it might get in the way of him hooking up with Eden. Actually, with Eden blowing out her bandmates for a morning in bed with him, they're increasingly seeming well-matched, if only because they're both totally irresponsible.It says a lot that Felicity and Remi are the mature voices in this.

Justin did the sensible thing putting Mackenzie's idea to the band.Theo, Kirby and Remi seem to have been won over but Eden, as we saw, had other things on her mind.It's not entirely clear what Mackenzie means about wanting to be the only venue in the area:How big an area? Presumably they can still do other gigs but how far do they have to go?Wishful thinking about LA aside, Remi had a point about being asked to do a big gig.

Part of me thinks getting out of Summer Bay would be the best thing for Heather.Marilyn's half-in/half-out approach to parenting and insistence Heather keep who she is a secret really isn't doing anything for her already fragile mental health.Marilyn couldn't wait to get out of there when Leah brought up the subject of telling people, and she pointblank refused to discuss it when Nikau brought it up.

Bad Business decision for Lyric to be bound to only play at Salt for a year I think surely other venues wouldn’t hurt but what do I know I’m no band manager maybe I should be their manager instead of Justin or maybe not I think their music sucks haha

When I said we should speed up the Heather stuff now I didn’t mean she should leave town that’s quite the opposite 

Felicity I think was very over the top with Cash and Eden maybe it’s what Cash needs a distraction from feeling miserable for awhile and who knows maybe they could fall for each other 

[CaptainHulk]

I hope Lyrik DO get an LA Gig, Justin goes, comes back alone saying the found a manager that could give them what he couldn't. Happy ending for everybody. Well, Mac would be hopping mad as her headline act would be gone but still...

Also, the non-knocking in this show...  put anyone right off their "game".

Dogs =awake after they hear the postman or opening of a cheese wrapper but *nowhere* to be found when a fruitcake is kicking the house in!

Oh yes thanks for reminding me Captain.

Heather is only a suspect for the 'break-in' and whoever it was didn't take anything.  I've asked before but will the cops be taking prints?  Cash did look up Heather and she was on their data base, it turns out she lives/lived in SA, no crime to move away from your home though.  The fact she's done a bunk does make it look more likely that she did the deed.  What will Marilyn, Roo and Alf make of it as they were away for the night/two nights? Not forgetting Nik of course.

She didn't do any real damage, just breaking the glass in the photos which can be replaced, she just, I think, wanted Leah to know she'd been there.  Shouldn't really smile but all Theo was concerned about was his guitar.   

Not just the 'sensible' thing for Justin to do but the right one by checking it out with the band and getting their - well the ones who were there - opinion.  They took a majority vote so if Eden isn't happy about it tough - they used to have majority votes when Bob was with them.  Maybe Yabby Creek, Mango River or nearby towns.  I'm guessing she's not including the next state because that would mean them having a tour van would have been a waste of time.  Understandably Theo had to duck out of the after Justin talk with Kirby and Remi as he got the call from Justin about the break-in. 

Remi was very circumspect by covering Eden's slip.  He's caught on about Eden's feelings for Cash which she is denying but 'me lady protests too much'.  I'm guessing he does know of their history.  I do have the feeling she is not 'using' Cash this time round but has genuine feelings for him but he, although, not intentionally, is 'using' her. He is on the rebound from Jas/getting over the shooting, has a disciplinarily hearing hanging over his head so not in a good place. 

I can see why Felicity is concerned about Cash and Eden because of their history and he is pretty vulnerable right now but he is an adult.  She definitely wouldn't have liked him interfering and hasn't.  All she needs to do is let them get on with it and be there for him if it goes belly up but I've got the feeling it'll be Eden being hurt. 

What is all this haha???? And it's Lyrik.

Why do some people want some storylines speeded up - have they got such a short attention span?  You can't always have something all sorted in five minutes, it doesn't always happen like that in real life.

True, though the credit spelling keeps changing so how are we to know, hehe!

Alf's episode count this week:Three.

At least two plotlines from yesterday were kind of left dangling.Whilst the band try to tell Eden about the new deal, she's still got other things on her mind.And we don't see any reaction from Cash to the fact that the suspect he said could wait until tomorrow took the opportunity to skip town.

Felicity has kind of got this the wrong way round:Cash is the one using Eden and she's the one that could end up getting hurt.No-one seems to have picked up on that except Remi. and it's hard to tell what his revelation to Cash will lead to.I forgot to mention but I liked seeing the photo of Justin and his siblings yesterday!

Tane's trying to go full steam ahead with his proposal but hit a couple of snags, although Eden was in the promo (even if you had to be looking at the right moment to see her!), so I guess she at least comes round.I'm glad Cash gave them his blessing, it was another of those rare moments lately where he acted like a human being.

Not much today just Flick being way over the top about Cash and Eden I thought it might help Cash these causal hook ups to get over getting shot and they will probably end up together anyway so Eden will get Cash in the end it is a soap after all
