Home and Away

Well in case you haven’t seen the previews on TV this past week, there is a storm about to hit Summer Bay, And not just an ordinary storm, but a MEGA storm!! 

While nothing too stormy happened tonight, it looks like the upcoming episodes will contain some typical Home and Away drama. It has been a while since they have had a true disaster, and they always do it well. So strap yourself in, beacuse according to channel seven we are in for a ‘Wild Week’.

In tonight’s episode, Irene finally talks to Leah about her upcoming breast cancer surgery. She also talks to Marilyn, who has been though it before and is keen to help. With Irene nessding time off, and Leah pregnant, well it looks like Colleen will be running the show at the diner for a little while. That should be interesting. Enter Sasha, Sid’s secret daughter, who is fifteen, not at school, and desperate for a job doing anything. My guess is she will be full time waitress at the diner within the week; provided the diner doesn’t blow away in the storm that is.

Xavier is home from the farm, and trying to catch up on his school work. Pity he is having trouble concentrating with John on the couch behind him. John, bored out of his mind living on the couch with his broken ankle pesters Xavier to check the weather report. After Xavier’s first weather report of “it’s cool, nothing to worry about” (nice work Xavier), John tells him he needs to get down to the beach and close it immediately. While Xavier is off closing the beach, John appears to have a heart attack and collapses onto the floor. Poor John, he has had a bit of a rough week. 

Sasha is having serious trouble settling in with her new family, and is quite possibly the most annoying person ever. Rejecting everyone’s hospitality, and being rude to everyone she encounters are some top qualities. As the Walker family begin bracing the farm for the storm. Sasha does a disappearing act after she gets a phone call from her little brother. Seems like he too is having trouble with his new family, and has run away to be with his sister. Sasha is nice to someone for the first time ever, and tells her brother she is going back to the city with him to fix this.

Romeo and Alf are in serious trouble after last weeks escapades, having lost their moring and most likely their business on the Blaxland. Roo somehow manages to find one last client for them, and Romeo begins to organise the best charter ever. Um, don’t know if you noticed the whole storm thing Romeo, but I’m guessing it’s not a good idea to be going out in a boat?

Looks like the storm is in full force tomorrow night, we will just have to wait and see what the damage is!

Monday 22/08/11

- Heath is let out of jail, and Hammer’s gang want revenge after selling out Jake. 

- Heath ends up in the wrond place at the wrong time, and is badly beaten by the rival gang.

- Charlie makes a decision about her relationship with Brax. 

Well what a week we had in Summer Bay. 

Brax is layed up in hospital, and Tegan drops the bombshell on him that he is Darcy’s father. Nothing like a bit of a guilt trip to try and keep the bloke around. While Brax is shocked at first, and demands a DNA test, the next thing you know he is convinced Darcy is his (no DNA required) and is in full Dad mode. Charlie comes to realisation that she wants to be with Brax, and goes to the hospital to visit him. Pity Brax is already thinking about how he is going to make it up to his supposed daughter, and barely remembers who Charlie is. Charlie who thought they were on the same page (but clearly weren’t) gets blown off by Brax, and she is left heartbroken again. Just the usual way Charlie’s relationships tend to end these days.

Miles and Leah are happy about their big news… and since neither of them can keep their mouth shut for longer than 5 seconds, well their secret preganancy was in the town gossip by lunchtime. While Miles is happy about the situation, Leah does not look quite as enthused. They tell VJ he is going to have a little brother or sisiter, but he’s not too happy about it either. Hmm, what to do? Well the first thing that pops into Mile’s head is an engagement. He plans a perfect evening for the two of them, but Leah cancels after a long day at work. He tries again with a romantic breakfast, but Leah forgot to tell hims he got called in to work. A very frustrated Miles cracks it, and drags Leah out of the diner and down to the end of the pier. My first thought was that perhaps he was going to push her in, but instead he pulls out a ring and asks her to marry him! (Probably a better option than pushing her in the water). However, Leah turns him down, and tells him she has no plans to change her mind! Awkward much? The two talk later and decide that there is no need to rush things just because their having a baby together. Leah suggests that maybe they should try living together first. Miles is happy with this arrangement, my main worry is where exactly they are going to live? Does Miles have to move in with Charlie & Ruby, or does Leah have to move in with Marilyn & Alf & Roo & whoever else lives in that house?

Sid’s ex wife shows up in the bay, and no one is all that happy to see her. Indy and Dexter attempt to forgive her, but both find it difficult to. Bianca and Liam try to get back on track, but things are far from perfect. Bianca struggles to get intimate and open up, and Liam is getting frustrated with not being able to help. Bianca refuses outside help, and continues pushing everyone away and driving them all nuts. It all comes to a head when Kelly tries to apologise for her brother’s actions, and Bianca loses it at her and then goes all weird. Finally she comes around, telling everyone that she does need help, and she will go and see a counselor.

Kelly feels like everyone in Summer Bay hates her, and refuses to leave the house. Now that her brother is in jail, her mother is also having a hard time running the farm on her own. Xavier is his usual annoying self, telling Kelly that he can’t live without her and would miss her too much if she moved back home. The next day she is packed and ready to leave, hugs Xavier goodbye and leaves him in his sad and sorry state. hen Gina and John return home, they find a note from Xavier saying that he has gone to be with Kelly, and he isn’t coming back. Oh well, that’s a shame. 

While Brax is off playing Dad, Casey overhears his Mum and Tegan talking, and it turns out Darcy is not his kid after all. Casey is torn over what to do, but eventually tells his brother that Tegan is lying to him. Brax confronts Tegan, and soon gets the truth out of her. Darcy is in fact Heath’s daughter, and Tegan blames Brax as he is the reason why Darcy’s father is in jail… hah! Brax is then left with the task of telling Darcy that he is not her father (seriously, how did you get roped into that?). Brax tells Dracy that even though he is not her Dad, he will still be there for her. She takes it well, and besides he is still her Uncle so it’s all good. Ruby tells Charlie that Darcy isn’t Brax’s daughter after all, and this gives her hope. She goes down to the beach to sit with Brax, and he tells her that he forgot what a handful Tegan can be. Charlie asks ‘even more than me?’, and he laughs and says she is not even close to Tegan. She is so far above her it’s not even funny. Aww, how sweet. Now fingers crossed we don’t have to deal with Tegan again!
