2024 Season - UK Episode Discussion

[Foellfan]

RR1, Ziggy did have a kid ultimately so could've been in the running; I mean I think he was looking to make a secure base, try to make a family unit again and Flick was not a candidate for security per se as in she never wanted to do mummy/wife stuff as in domesticated as such and she didn't really understand his version of family as in big because, sadly, she didn't have one whereas I suppose I look at Harper's background and she seems to have sought security in her job by trying to give others what she never had, in that subject they bear a similiar mindset I suppose. Nothing wrong in domestication or gregariousness, each have their merit.

Well at least we know what  the correct shortened version  of Abigail's name is - Abby.  Thanks for that post it pad. 

Wow that was one hell of a lot of wonga Remi has been left - five million !   Not sure of how much she initially put in  the trust, but Granny must have been one wealthy lady which he gave a hint of by saying it's mum who's the rich one and she married 'below herself' when she got with Remi's dad.  Remi's never been  into it either, he walked away from it and  has never asked them for a sub, even when he could have when he wanted the money to set up a studio to lay down Lyrik's album.   Wandering off where were they when he had his accident, would they have wanted to whisk him off to a private hospital where he could have got the best care?  Bree's comment may have been nasty, but she is essentially from the other side of the tracks.  Not his fault he was born into a rich family. Love to know what he plans to do with it, maybe set up some sort of trust fund for budding musicians/give a huge donation to the hospital that looked after him/set up some sort of scheme for doctors/nurses.   Something to help the bay, seeing as they took him and the band in so to speak and accepted them sowhat he's planning is his way of thanking them? Justin must still be in honeymoon mood as he asked if this party was to do with maybe a special date  being announced.  Would he want to buy the house he, Eden and Kirby are currently  renting? 

Harper is a departure for Tane.  Mac may have gone down the motherhood route but after her miscarriage  she would be wary,  Ziggy did indeed go down that route.  Maybe and I'm only guessing, he sees Harper as more mum mode than Mac or Ziggy would have been. 

We did see the 'old' Alf when he was having that  rant at the solicitor/landlord, but then after his near death experience maybe he's realised there is more to life than getting your pants in a panic over a rise in rent.  Will these anonymous landlords be putting up the rent for the Diner?  

Cash has  got obsessive before but that  was to do with his job, this isn't.   Rose made a very valid/legal point he can't check out someone he doesn't like using the police system but there is nothing to stop him going on social media, it's there for anyone/everyone to see.  If Tim had anything to hide he'd hardly likely to put it up.  Loved how Remi was there for Eden, he has known her for a lot a longer than Cash has, so knows she doesn't need 'protecting' from anyone let alone Cash, though both of them are out of date as Tim is no longer Abby's counsellor.  He made the very valid point he dumped her for whatever 'good' reason Cash thought has doing it for, so has no right to interfere in her life.  Not exactly subtle was he, sitting in his garden chair watching them drive up, in fact it's downright spooky.  

Why is Justin suddenly so interested in Theo's love life,  asking about about Abby and was he on a 'date' with her when Leah said they had gone for  a drive.  Maybe just a pun by the TV Times but in Tuesday's episode it says 'Justin throws a spanner in the works.'

Tane should report Cash for breaking and entering straight away.  But we know that won't happen.  

Why do I get the feeling that Theo's going to put a spanner in Remi's Lyrik revivalisation plan?  

[Red Ranger 1]

I pointed out last year that we saw Abby's name written down in a text message but ho-hum, maybe people will remember this one.

So it turns out Cash didn't know about Tane and Harper, but he's too busy being a crazy jealous ex to care, because apparently Tane can move on but Eden can't. It's hard to tell whether Cash has even the slightest point here, given that Tim's not exactly a saint and it's hard to tell whether he was deliberately putting Cash's buttons or not. But he's still coming across a lot better than Cash, who really is all kinds of ridiculous. Even if the constant insistence that Tim makes Eden happy feels like a case of "Tell don't show", it's none of Cash's business and he needs to process the fact that Tane is being more level-headed than him.

Remi was being more than a little presumptuous.His intentions were good (and I was amused that he had the self-awareness to exclude Tim from his "You people are the ones that make my life happy" speech), but while Eden will probably be happy to ditch Salt, both Kirby and Theo actually quite like their day jobs and the people they have them with. Bree was being a hypocrite in turning down Remi's money after sneering at him last episode for not wanting it, but I guess she backed down quickly. No Leah at the party, even though they said she was coming last episode, and Theo didn't get there until after the big announcement. Maybe he wasn't available for the exterior scenes.

I can see where Justin's coming from, but Kirby is right that this is a different situation: Valerie was fully embracing the drug lifestyle and encouraging Theo to do the same, whilst Abigail's in recovery and trying to stay clean. Still, Justin's not the first person to question whether they're in the right place for a relationship, and he's the first without an agenda.

If I had $5m and lived in Summer Bay, see ya!

Lyrik don’t need to impress any record label with five million dollars I would think you could set up your own but saying that buy a few mansions as well

I did think that Bree might have been abit too interested in the money though but I don’t trust that one as far as I can throw her 

Facecloud is that any better than Facebook I wonder because I find that quite pointless these days Tim did look the quite smug looking wally on there though 

I have been told I could be a counsellor I’m not so sure these days but if I get a car like Tim’s maybe oh I can’t drive there’s a problem 

It was amusing when Tane was telling Cash about Harper that’s nice Tine but Cash has gone rather cuckoo at the minute I do agree with him though that Eden I don’t quite understand why she likes him so much 

Mali if anyone you should get with Kirby especially with her wearing those Demi blue shorts but saying that Abby was modelling her short eye popping pink fluffy top again

I wonder if the Astonis had given him a long term lease on a peppercorn rent before they sold it.

We'd seen many spellings of Abby's name on the H&A pages but now it has been confirmed. 

It wasn't official that Tane and Harper were a couple so no surprise Cash was a bit taken aback, not that he's in any mood for happy news. Different situation with Tane and Harper, he and Felicity had made their peace so he could move on, whereas  Cash isn't willing to let Eden move on and let himself.  Is it because of Tim is or would it have been anyone she'd taken up with?  One point why does everyone keep saying Tim is Abby's counsellor, true he was when he first got together with Eden, but he isn't anymore. is bursting into a private party having  another rant  is not putting him in  a good light. Silly niggle but  when Cash was trying  the doors on Tim's car all were locked but the drivers one was open - confused.com - .   No big surprise Tim would have meds in his car and at least they were in the glove compartment not just lying there for all to see.   Tim may be no angel but I'd definitely report Cash to the cops.  Tim had plenty of witnesses to Cash's tirade and threatening behaviour.   He deserves to be suspended, shame when he has been such a good cop until now. 

I also got the feeling neither Kirby or Theo were  over keen to start up Lyrik again not even Eden seemed  that interested.   It may mean she could escape Cash's attention, not easy living over the road from you obsessive ex but it would mean leaving Tim.  It wasn't what I expected from Remi and surely setting up Lyrik again wouldn't cost anything like $5 mil.  Was Justin there as would  maybe likely he'd be asked to step back in as their manager? 

Bree has managed to been able pay off her student loan, just like the UK in that respect then, by herself so far so maybe she thought Remi was offering some sort of charity, but he's doing it because he loves her and so she can be free off it and just spend her money on herself.  I'm guessing it's taken out of her income when she's paid?  

Nothing suspicious about Justin thinking he knew Tim from somewhere then.  He suddenly clicked he was one of the counsellor's at the place where he had his detox  after his pain killer addiction.  He just joined the dots when he got it out of Kirby why Tim had been seeing Abby.  He ought to give Theo a lot more credit though instead of thinking he'd fall back into his old ways from when he was caught up with Valerie.  Abby is clean, got good family back up from Levi, Mack and before al this blew up Eden.  Justin is echoing what Mali told Theo but as you said Red, he hasn't got a hidden agenda.  I'm guessing it's like a lot of recovering addicts be it drugs, drink or gambling they are advised to stay out of relationships until they are a lot more stable. 

[Red Ranger 1]

I'm sure Abby's name will continue to be misspelt all over the internet, given that the correct spelling was confirmed last year and it wasn't enough to stop it.

Well, the right choice for Theo it seems, but not really for Abigail. She did look very different from her usual casual attire dressed up for her date, shame it went to waste. Justin did seem to be pushing Theo down a certain path, even if the final choice was left up to him.Of course, the ending suggests he may have a point, since it seems Abigail isn't above temptation (and the promo suggests it goes even further). It didn't really occur to me that Kirby was breaking a confidence but she was kind of put on the spot.

For all his promises to Tane and Harper, Cash is continuing being stalkery, although he seems to be just on the right side of the law this time. Or maybe not, given that phone call. But he seemed to be using his personal laptop for things that are publicly accessible rather than the police computer, which he could have probably done just as easily at the library rather than insisting on doing it in front of the police.

Alf and Marilyn's scenes felt very much like them needing to fill their episode quotas somehow.

Levi I think you have been given the role of super doctor There’s no sign of Bree returning haha
