Extended Summary

Noah found out that Seb is Fisher’s grandson, which explains why Seb has been giving Fisher a hard time and why Anna was asking for Fisher when she was in hospital. Seb believes Fisher made Alan’s life difficult and says he’s going to do the same back to him, then he blurted out that Alan was his father. Fisher doesn’t know, but Seb doesn’t really want to tell him. Seb is also dyslexic. As Sally found out and has told Fisher, and even though he’s tried supporting Seb, he gets pushed away.

Alf’s got a bee in his bonnet about Rhys not joining the Surf Club. Colleen had a go at Shelley and Shelley talked to Rhys. He seemed more embarrassed than anything. Could it be he’s got a secret?

Noah’s wanting Hayley back. He’s confronted her about his problem. She’s admitted she still loves him, but she doesn’t trust him. Irene’s wary of him and Noah’s told them both he’s going to prove he’s getting his problem under control. Irene was impressed when Noah did as he said he would. Hayley’s still not convinced and told Irene it’s going to take a lot more than just one night to persuade her.

There was a problem with Leah’s operation. The doctor got it all under control and managed to save the baby. Everyone’s relieved, but still frightened something will go wrong. Helen and Vinnie have bonded a bit more. Maybe this will get back to Theo and things might improve… Then Vinnie won’t have to feel so stupid anymore.
