I'm not keen on Valerie but I don't blame her for getting annoyed and doubting Theo for telling Kirby about her brother. If I confided in someone I was seeing about something personal like that and they went and told their ex, I would be livid. Really hate the way Rose is being treated. Tane is just being Tane and acting like an aggressive spoilt kid who hasn't gotten his own way. Dana is just being annoying like she always is and I hated how she said Rose was wrong for just doing her job. Roo is the one I was disappointed in, with how she was with Rose at the police station and I expected better. Given how Roo and Tane have been, I actually hope Roo's application for emergency fostering fails and Tane doesn't get his hands on Maia. Have to admit, I did raise an eyebrow when Justin was brutally honest with John about not wanting him to be celebrant although I suspected that he would get to do it anyway (I guess there are parallels with John and Tane/Roo as they are all wanting to do things they didn't consider previously for the wrong reasons). This time I've found the arguing with Leah and Justin quite amusing. I also loved the way Leah reacted when telling Irene and Marilyn Justin said she was micromanaging everything and they basically agreed with him. Thought Cash was a bit out of line bringing his work home with him and I don't really blame Eden for being displeased with it. Even if you put aside the fact she is entitled to alone time with him, there's also the issue that Felicity might be at risk. I know Cash said it's safe but you'd think if Stevie stays there for longer than planned, the stalker will find them eventually. We'll see if Eden is going to be as much as a Stevie Marlow fan now.

I'm absolutely frustrated with this storyline regarding Maia. I've mentioned multiple times how I'm now really disliking Tane because of his attitude towards the mother and what he's been like with Rose. I'm disappointed with Roo. She acknowledged that she was going to find it difficult to temporarily foster Maia to both Alf and Felicity and it seems as though she doesn't even want to do it. So she obviously knows that Tane is going to find it just as difficult. There's also the fact when Harper asked if she wanted to foster because of Tane, Roo didn't actually deny it or answer directly but simply said she's doing it for Maia. It looked like she was going to change her mind but then she goes on a forum looking at other people's experiences (Yeddit ) and decides to go through with the fostering after all. Then you have Felicity, still head over heels with Tane and using Roo as a sounding board to indirectly express hurt that she's lost Tane because she can't give him what he wants. And I think she was out of order going round to Xander's on his day off. She suggested when she was planning the fund raising event with him it was because she and Cash were fostered but let's be honest, it's all about Tane. You're in bed with someone and tell them you're falling in love with them, the person gets out of bed, gets dressed and leaves (ouch!). I found the look on Valerie's face suddenly changing from joy to almost horror and how they played the music quite funny. The way she reacted if you didn't have the sound on, you'd think he Theo was telling her he wanted to cool it for a bit. I actually believe he just thinks he's in love with her.

Absolutely nothing against Justin but I found Bree's outburst quite wonderful. The way she came into the Diner giving him the evils and then laid into him was hilarious. The best part of it was how Justin didn't really say anything because he was so taken aback. I understand how difficult it was for Justin and Leah to have the talk with John about being Celebrant and they definitely did right think to nip it in the bud ASAP but looks as though it's hit John pretty hard, although I did agree with Irene and he should have known better and got them to agree to it first.

I'm really disliking Tane at the moment. I can't really disagree about sticking up for him regarding the article but certain characters are acting like he's a victim, where really he found a baby did the right thing and that is the end of that. Rose seems to have taken over Cash's mantle of letting people off easily. There was the stuff with Leah when she was driving and now Tane practically assaults someone and she doesn't do anything (I know there's an argument the reporter deserved it) but I thought Rose was a person who did things strictly by the book and that's a couple of times she's made allowances for her friends. She did tell Tane that he had to leave the hospital and the matter is out of his hands but she only did that because she was ordered to. In spite of my dislike I was glad he was so cold to Dana though. Yes, it was harsh but she's been asking for that and needs to learn when to keep her mouth shut. Her argument with Harper about their parents (regardless of how understandable it is) reaffirms how she often seems to lack empathy i.e. adopting Tane's attitude towards the mother who abandoned her baby. I did find Kirby's reaction to Valerie being high again quite amusing. I agree that Theo was a hypocrite but I think Valerie's a freeloader and quite honestly don't see any benefit to her staying at Justin's so hopefully he will keep pushing Theo and find out about her drug problem. I do also like how in addition to Eden, Harper and Felicity are also part of the Stevie Marlow fan club. Looks like Cash may be onto something.

I did agree with Kirby that Bree had a valid point regarding Remi wanting to get back into riding his motorbike again. It's even more understandable when you think back to Bree seeing him in hospital when you factor in that she recently lost her father. However, the way she gave him an ultimatum, threatening to break up with him came across as controlling. I did like how Eden and Cash overheard them arguing and Cash said "Good luck with that" and I thought Eden did well to convince Remi initially. But it looks like he was lying all along and had no intention of giving up his bike. OK fine, Felicity says she doesn't want to get back with Tane but she still obviously is in love with him and as someone who is supposed to accept the marriage is over, failed to see why fostering on behalf of Tane was problematic. Luckily Cash was able to talk some sense into her. I found the interactions with Mackenzie and Xander amusing when in mid conversation Mackenzie kept focusing on Levi and Eden and wasn't concentrating on what he had to say given how important he deemed his role as So, she did actually think Levi was telling her want she wanted to hear when he said he would leave Imogen, but she's changed her mind again and wants to continue the affair. I wasn't sure what they could do with Cash after he quit the force but this stalker storyline looks like it could be quite good. I also found Eden's reaction to meeting Stevie cringeworthy but amusing regardless. It's shame what's happening with Levi and Mackenzie as I'm really enjoying the relationship with Eden and Levi. I found she's been far more likeable as of late but this whole thing is going to end in tears and my concern is that I will probably go back to disliking Eden again. Dana opens her big mouth again, this time to the reporter. Had to laugh at her reaction after Xander told her who he was. The only reason why he got so much dirt was because she thought she was on a date and went with the guy to Salt purely in an attempt to make Xander jealous.

I'm assuming Valerie believes she has full control of her drug habit and when she first gave the pills to Theo wasn't expecting him to become addicted. However, her main concern isn't so much what happens to Theo. It's that if Leah and Justin find out it could affect her living arrangements. I agree that her not giving him the drugs but giving the phone number of the dealer didn't make much sense, given Leah and Justin would find out she was responsible anyway. But her actions have shown she was more worried about them finding out than helping Theo, which was why she wanted to speak to Kirby as she thought Kirby had told Rose. Also, she said "I've finally got a good thing going here". So, basically Valerie wants to leach off of Justin and Leah. I'm assuming this because I don't recall hearing anything about her working so am unclear what her source of income is. Was disappointed with Felicity. I thought she accepted that the relationship with Tane was over and I would have expected the next part to have been for someone to initiate divorce proceedings. Mali seemed surprised that she went to see him at the hospital but I do get that she still cares for him, so I suppose you can argue it was reasonable for her to check in. However, actually going to the trouble of looking at how to foster a child and even considering it means, she's possibly still in love with him (fine she can't help how she feels) but she obviously is trying to appease him and presumably will argue as he has a child (at least temporarily) the main reason for the marriage breakdown has been addressed.

Initially it came across as though Levi was genuine when he said he was prepared to leave his wife but when you factor in he said he didn't want Mackenzie texting him when he was with Imogen and didn't look too happy when they met up, it contradicts that. I said previously that Levi was using Mackenzie for sex. Perhaps that's harsh and he does like her but it did seem like he panicked and just tried to appease her. I do agree that Mackenzie was annoying. She obviously believed him when he told her but she then changed her mind so it feels like she engaged in an affair for nothing. Whilst Kirby is clearly right about Theo being on drugs and Valerie is a bad influence, I'm loving how wound up she's getting seeing them together. You could see it in her eyes when Theo went to speak to Kirby and Valerie had a word with her afterwards and Kirby warned Valerie about the drugs. Tane is really getting on my nerves regarding the baby. I don't even want to think of what he's going to say to the mother if they cross paths. I'm glad other people such as Roo and Rose are more sympathetic, recognising that, the mother clearly has issues and probably needs help/support more than anything.

Who would have thought when they first rocked up Felicity would be the one with the stable income and Cash would be the struggling to hold down the job. It wouldn't surprise me if Cash decides to rejoin the force eventually. Not sure what to make of Alf being the donor. As someone who doesn't like his character, I have to say watching the old episodes of Prisoner Cell Block H on Channel 5, I'm really enjoying Ray Meagher's role as Geoff Butler. Given how Dana told Xander Harper didn't see him romantically, and whilst I appreciate it took a lot of guts for her to put herself on the line, I can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction when Xander rejected her. Let's be honest, she's pretty immature and (I can't tell if that's how the character is meant to be portrayed) often comes across as insecure and disingenuous, so when she says something it's hard to take her seriously. It didn't feel genuine for me when she told Xander she liked him. I will say that after her outburst to Irene and Harper, she shut up for a little bit at least, although she was being professional at the end of the episode. I wasn't sure about Xander's reasoning. Like Harper, this is presumably not being that attracted to the other person. I don't think I'm going to like this Tane finding the abandoned baby storyline. He immediately seems to be getting on his high horse given what he said at the hospital. Looks like Harper has already spotted an issue with him becoming attached. I suspect it's not going to be very long before she has to have a talk with him.

It felt like several characters towards the end of last week adopted the dog with a bone methodology. Felicity wouldn't drop it when she overheard Mali talking to Mackenzie about him moving out and when he didn't spill the beans, she went round to Mackenzie's later on that day (I personally found that scene really funny, particularly how Mackenzie and Levi were reacting to her turning up and when she was there). John was persistent enquiring about the donation and about Cash not revealing the identity of the person who gave them the money. It seems as though Eden was also, given Levi was in the Bay but made no attempt to contact her (Part of me thinks Mali really has to work harder not to give anything away and act like all is OK). Re Montana, like others, I found her irritating but I think there is a fairly serious side to highlighting the lengths people will go to gain social media followers. There was one guy in the UK who was prosecuted for various incidents, including walking into somebody's house and walking up to somebody with their dog, asking to stroke the dog and running off with it. I also, saw one video taken on a train in Belgium where a guy was sitting down, someone ran up to him and poured dog faeces over him. Onto this week and (I didn't think I would say this) but certainly at the moment, I'm quite liking Eden. I really enjoyed how she turned up to surprise Levi and enjoyed the scenes with him and his wife. She seems like a really nice lady so it's a shame Levi is doing the dirty on her. It's also a shame because when this comes out it's going to ruin his relationship with his sister just as she clearly wants to be close to him again. Unfortunately, after defending her for quite some time on this show, I'm starting to go off Mackenzie. I don't like the way she was with Felicity when Felicity was trying to get her to agree to Xander's idea re Salt. It's fine if she doesn't like it or think it's viable but she was clearly letting her frustrations re Levi get to her. Again, to reiterate the point, this affair is making her act in a not so nice way and I actually enjoyed her facial expression when Eden was talking about Levi and Imogen wanting kids when Mackenzie was serving her and Cash. Part of me is hoping that if Justin and Leah do have a wedding something happens. I dunno, maybe Vita Nova can gatecrash.

Dana is driving me up the wall. Every time she opens her mouth she annoys me. She also really seems to lack social awareness - Telling Xander previously that Harper didn't like him after their date, being prepared to interrupt Harper's date yesterday. And she's completely oblivious to how she comes across. I was actually hoping Rose would tell Xander that Dana fancied him, if only so she would get a taste of her own medicine and understand what it was like for someone to open their big mouth. I'm guessing the way Tane is being there as a mate for Harper's dates (I did like how he wanted Harper to give Derek a chance), he's going to be the one, she eventually ends up dating. Both Mackenzie and Levi are coming across quite badly. I wasn't happy when Mackenzie was originally trying to get to know him and Mali got involved but this time I was on his side. I'm sure even she would have to acknowledge that the affair is making her act in a way that she normally wouldn't (threatening to throw Mali out). I'm not entirely convinced Levi isn't using Mackenzie for sex though. I know Eden and Mackenzie are on good terms from a professional capacity but wasn't sure whether Mackenzie saw her as a friend rather than someone she would say hello to and chat with occasionally (This is the problem when you don't have too many scenes with certain characters). I can't wait till Eden finds out. She is going to hit the roof.

"Why do looks have to do with anything?". Because attraction is more often than not based on physical appearance. Yes, the personality keeps you with them but to even get to the point where your personality is evaluated you have to be attracted to them in the first place. It's like if you're applying for a job and there's a basic set of criteria you need to meet in order to get the interview and they will reject people if they don't meet the thresholds. If these have been met you then have the interview to determine if you're suitable for the role. You only need to look at posts within various parts of the forum over the last 15 years to see how important somebody's appearance is. And it reflects within various aspects in real life. I will caveat by saying in terms of dating the older you get, the less importance there is solely on looks and the younger people are, the more shallow they tend to be. I did find Theo quite amusing when he was high. I'm surprised he would just take the first pill with very little resistance when Valerie offered it. Whilst I hope this is just a minor setback and Theo doesn't become addicted, part of me thinks when the crap hits the fan, it will be good to see it reflecting badly on Leah given she didn't really give Justin any option in allowing Valerie to move in initially. I do feel sorry for Bree, thinking she couldn't turn to Remi during her father's death. I know they've been friends for a long time but it was still disappointing Kirby felt Remi had the right to know about Bree's dad being ill but didn't feel Bree had the right to know Remi was back home from the hospital.

No, Tane wasn't romantically involved with the women but he still slept with them whilst he was married, so his conversation with Mackenzie was hypocritical. He took the moral highground using his own situation, completely ignoring his infidelity with multiple women to criticise Mackenzie for sleeping with a married man. I did find it amusing when Irene was fishing for info on Harper's date, she asked Harper expecting her to dish the dirt, Harper gave a one word answer and Irene just had to leave it. I also often find it amusing when you get comments that say they're better suited as friends or they don't see someone romantically which is normally code for they don't find the person physically attractive. Dana once again displays her lack of tact just coming out and telling Xander Harper just wanted to be friends like that, in front of Irene when he was looking at something romantically. I can see now why she was going out of her way to help John and so invested in Harper's love life. It's because she's got no life of her own. Valerie is going to be a big problem eventually. We've already seen the signs with practically inviting herself into Justin's place and biting his head off when he enquired about why she was in the mental health facility (After watching the preview on Thursday I did think she was a drug user, although I did try to give her the benefit of the doubt by assuming they were prescription drugs). For a second time, I think someone was acting reasonable enough when Theo complained about his TAFE results in his own home, irrespective of whether it was his own fault or not, but Valerie's reaction was again over the top. If this was someone he didn't fancy, I'm not sure he would have been sympathetic, or even OK with her moving in, in the first place. Although, I will say I'm loving how Valerie and Theo getting closer is winding Kirby up.

Pretty sure Tane has slept with at least 2 women on his nights out. Mackenzie I believe has slept with Levi a couple of times. So it's not as if you can argue he's had sex less times than she has. And whether or not Mackenzie is having an affair or with the brother of someone she knows is irrelevant. Cheating is cheating and Tane was being hypocritical. You can argue what Tane did was worse as he was the one who took vows. Mackenzie didn't sign a contract. Furthermore, at least Mackenzie is cheating because she genuinely cares about Levi and not just because of some one night stand. Hopefully this will be the end of the Tane Felicity stuff. It was not fun while it lasted but hopefully they will find partners they are more compatible with. I was also hoping Theo would object to Valerie moving in. I just feel this is unfair because if their positions were reversed Leah would put up far more resistance to a guy staying with them to help him out, especially one they knew nothing about. Also, her actions would be deemed as reasonable. I don't know what it is about Dana but she drives me up the wall. I think she should worry less about Harper's love life and trying to pair Harper with Xander and focus more on her own.

Mixed feelings about Mackenzie and Levi. I'm really not happy about them and as someone who has often defended Mackenzie, I'm disappointed in her. However, I've found a couple of things quite amusing. The speed dial remark from Eden re Levi turning up when she called him asking for advice re Remi thinking he was in the city. Also, Eden and Levi's interaction at Salt and Mackenzie saying she didn't realise Levi had a +1. I suspect Eden's going to be really displeased when he finds out Levi only turned up in the Bay to bang Mackenzie and that they're sleeping together full stop. I've not had too much of an issue with Mali this time but I was shaking my head a Tane's attitude towards Mackenzie given that he's slept with other women whilst still married to Felicity (I know he's right but I still didn't like the hypocrisy). I was actually surprised he referred to the fact that he slept with Felicity before he went to NZ when he cleared the air with Mackenzie, rather than the nights out as an example of messing up. When Heather first rocked up, Marilyn was the first person to spot something was amiss. With today's episode, she thought something was up with Valerie, when Valerie was quite persistent and she was looking at her in a slightly disapproving way when she offered to make her something at the Diner, so I suspect she's probably right about her as well. I actually think it was reasonable for Justin to ask why Valerie was at the mental health clinic. I'm assuming Valerie's reaction to Justin asking her is an indication she will be problematic. I feel a bit sorry for Justin because to ensure Leah remains back home without any issues, he's now forced to allow someone into his house who's unvetted.

Cash to Mackenzie:"Levi must be happy with your progress" - Yeah, I bet he is. I did find Mackenzie's presence during the scenes when Cash and Rose were arguing quite amusing. Well the cracks are reopening in their relationship. I think Mali using Mackenzie's recovery to not spend time with Rose is just an excuse, possibly to punish her for not responding to his text earlier on in the day, but as mentioned there is a wider issue with the lack of communication. Whilst I think it was harsh, I did laugh when Rose told Roo to back off. I believe this is slightly out of character (when she caught Stacey with that guy in the car, whilst she was exclusive with Xander, even though she wasn't happy, she was still calm enough to be professional telling them to move on) and do think Rose will issue an apology when she next sees her. I do understand Roo wanting to find out where the donation came from but watching her pursuit is getting a bit much now. I found Felicity quite annoying how she was re Cash investigating where the Surf Club donation came from. It was her whole attitude and the way she was making fun of him. Dana was also really annoying but that's to be expected with her as far as I'm concerned. Agree with the other comments questioning what Valerie's deal is. She hasn't spent much time with Leah, it's hard to see that they've bonded that much but I am interested to know more.

Mackenzie seriously needs to try to not get so worked up. It's not good for her health. Given how protective he was, I was genuinely surprised with Mali advising her to essentially see how it goes with Levi. He did say he wasn't going to pull an 'I told you so' but I would have expected the advice to be more neutral. I strongly agree re the believability of Levi falling for Mackenzie in the first place. If this was a scenario where he was possibly in his late 40s/early 50s and been married for over 20 years, then maybe it would have been more understandable. He even admitted in the episode that he was happily married. I know it's possible to have a very strong infatuation for an individual even though conventionally they may not be deemed as irresistible, so perhaps it's that. We can see exactly why she would fall for Levi but I am a little disappointed with her sleeping with him knowing that he's married, given what happened with Ari and Mia and they didn't even sleep together before Ari and Mackenzie broke up. I do think Levi's been quite selfish. Even if you take marriage out of the equation and assume he's single, being her Doctor he should have some idea she should be recovering. But he's put that aside to sleep with her. John made me laugh when Roo was questioning the person who gave the $30000 donation to the Surf Club and he told her to put another Ad in. I did think Roo was being ridiculous myself initially but thinking about it, I do actually get her being suspicious given the amount of control Henderson had being a large donor, which landed them in this predicament. Although you'd think if it's anonymous, it doesn't really count, but there is that saying nothing's for free. Tane goes to New Zealand without cancelling his PT sessions with Harper - Again doing something without having the common courtesy to inform the relevant party beforehand. I am always one of the first to assume someone fancies someone else during male/female interactions and I didn't feel this with Harper towards Tane initially but with her latest conversation with Dana, I am now wondering whether she does fancy him.

Well Lyrik is a band not a person so that's not true but yeah, very selective with the spell checking Hlover. I think it's quite funny that Alf is having to go through all this stress re the Surf Club for someone he doesn't even like. Tane was out of line. Felicity was at the point where she had accepted it was time to move on after talking to Harper and he basically used her. Part of me wondered whether it was frustration with him not being able to progress things with Harper. Xander's face when Felicity told him was quite amusing. Looked like doom and gloom and he knew Tane was going to reject her. Mackenzie's bodyguard was on duty again although when she got fed up with him, he seemed to move onto Tane. I'm assuming he still thought Tane and Felicity had a chance given that he advised Tane to sleep on it rather than nipping it in the bud right away with regards to her having false hope. I'm no doctor but I'm a little surprised Mackenzie is back to being at Salt and ready to you-know-what with Levi. It can take weeks, months to recovery from a heart attack, especially if you've had major surgery.

Apology accepted. You may want to think twice about correcting people who don't spell every single word correctly because this isn't the first time this has happened. I don't think Felicity gave good advice to Kirby as it was based solely on her situation and I think Bree's scenario was different. In saying that it was Kirby I was annoyed with and Bree should have been able to tell Remi about her dad being in a coma when she was ready and not have Kirby make that decision, so I was glad Bree said something to her. Kirby also annoyed me when she asked Bree if she stuffed up afterwards, when she knew full well she did. Although it does seemed to have worked out with Bree going to see her father now. Dana continues to be annoying. I have no issue with her winding Harper up when it's just them, but I really don't like the way she makes comments about Harper and Tane getting together when other people are around. She firstly does it right in front of Tane, knowing full well how difficult and awkward the situation was before. Then she does it as Salt when Felicity overheard her mention the kiss when she was serving her and Harper. You do have to wonder when Harper went to speak to Felicity afterwards and said nothing was going to happen with Tane, whether that was a precursor to something happening. I did agree when Harper said to Felicity, when the kiss occurred with Tane didn't really matter and I don't think it does Felicity any good knowing, although I get her wanting to know. Going back to Dana, even after she saw Harper and Felicity have the talk she was quite excited that Felicity didn't kick off and she didn't seem to give one iota of how that made Felicity feel i.e. Felicity's at work, she's trying to be professional and has to overhear that. Even Harper felt bad and this is the thing with Dana, she genuinely seems to lack empathy. I initially thought the scenes with Felicity and Tane felt really awkward. It was bad enough with their conversation at the beginning but even when she saw Tane with Harper after they finished their training sessions, it was hard for me to watch. That's why I found the end of the episode so surprising with them jumping back into bed together.

This is not about Dean, it's about Mali and Mali is an idiot. Giving someone a fried breakfast who was hospitalised twice due to having a heart attack and a tear in the heart, who has only recently come out of hospital and been advised by their doctor to eat healthily is monumentally stupid (saying nobody eats anything that's put in front of them is really a stretch and doesn't come close to refuting that point). And I believe you should be using brekkie, brekky, or breakie. Bree's OCD controlling nature of Remi continues. I have to admit, I did laugh when Eden went to see him and she said Kirby and her needed security clearance to get past Bree. It really does feel like Bree's one of those characters the writers are continually going to make suffer. I think her staying to look after Remi rather than going to see her dad on life support is a way of not wanting to deal with it. So one of Leah's fellow crazies from the loony bin turns up. I wouldn't mind being roomies with her.

Don't know whether it was the lipstick or whether Rose had her teeth whitened. Mali has really been getting on my nerves. Let's put aside despite the fact that Mackenzie was warned to watch her diet, Mali gives her a fried breakfast and it just feels like he's getting involved in things he shouldn't. I don't think it was his place to confront Levi like that. I think it's fine to speak to Mackenzie about it though. I don't like Dana. Whilst I can't deny she's loyal to John I don't find her to be a particularly nice person. That's the second time she's manipulated Banjo. She doesn't really care about him and probably would have had no intention of keeping quiet irrespective of what he told her. I've not been too happy with Marilyn regarding this whole thing with Leah and I don't normally like her interfering but this particular time I do think her speaking to Leah is what Theo needed as he was seriously struggling.

I really wasn't sure what to make of the whole Levi operating on Remi thing. I thought Bree had a point but with no medical knowledge whatsoever, I couldn't tell if Levi hadn't done the procedure whether Remi would be dead. I did agree with Levi that Bree was very emotional. I did have a wry smile when Eden confronted Levi about what he did and said if Remi died she would never speak to him again. As if that's going was going to make any difference prior to that. Although it's good that they've reconciled (for now anyway). Watching Bree over the last couple of episodes, I've always liked her and she's never bothered me before but the constant having go at Levi was starting to get get on my nerves. I must admit I did find it funny when they were arguing and Levi cynically said she should be thanking him. I wasn't surprised about Mackenzie and Levi. I suspected he liked her and it's not that hard to imagine her falling for him given that he saved her life twice, she's not met anybody since Gabe and has really been dating. Whilst I do think it's right Tane and Felicity's marriage is ending, I was a little sad when I saw their scenes. I guess you can argue they're both to blame but Tane never should have married her, given she didn't want children. I found the varied comments in here quite interesting. I've been more pro Felicity, I admit but I've seen pro Tane comments and comments that are pro both of them. I liked them when they were dating but felt it was ruined by the marriage. I think the fact that Tane tried to crack onto Harper shows he's not in a good place. He obviously wasn't thinking right. I did feel a bit sorry for Harper as she hasn't really done anything wrong and now she's lost a friend, her personal trainer and it looks like her gym membership. I did find Dana's reaction quite amusing though, saying if she was in Harper's position, it would have been different. Cash was actually OK when he went to talk to Tane about Harper, given that he's slept with other women whilst still married to his sister. He was fairly sympathetic and understanding. Do you really think Harper fancies Tane? I know I'm the first to always jump to the conclusion but in this particular case I couldn't really tell.

I remember the days when it was WWF. I can't believe this storyline is making me feel sorry for Eden. I do think the funniest part of the episode was when those guys put Remi down and their horror and panic when he started breathing. I do think the younger brother isn't necessarily a bad person as he wanted to do the right thing from the beginning but has made some poor choices since. I'm glad Felicity and Tane are getting on but hope this isn't the start of a reconciliation.

I questioned at the beginning whether opening up the voting to people who weren't members of the forum would make any difference and yes it has. After finishing top in the last 8 polls in a row for Sally to not finish in the top 10 and for Morag to come second last time and not finish in the top 30 is no coincidence. I feel introducing non-members has allowed a more fairer voting system. I also think it's far more representative for the typical Home and Away viewer. With the exception of Brax, all top 10 are currently on the show and most of the top 20 if not on the show now have appeared within the last couple of years.

Yup. Having read some of more recent posts in the UK Discussion thread, I did wonder about the neutrality towards certain characters. "Did people sympathise with her being condemned to an unhappy childhood? Or just enjoy watching Leah and Marilyn get knocked out and tied up?" And up three places from Number 7, we have Marilyn, whose popularity apparently hasn’t been damaged by the reveal that she had a daughter and pretended she didn’t exist for twenty-seven years. And many found her “nasty” chemical-poisoning-induced personality more entertaining than the real one! So with Irene and Marilyn not winning either, can Alf do it?

Tane and Felicity finishing higher than Leah.? I didn't vote for either of them but I've been very pleased with what I'm seeing. Tane's a character that I've always liked. Felicity did use to be one of my favourites but I've gone off her recently. There was the whole Mackenzie having to take the rap for the poker nights without any comeback for her (even Cash was disgusted). She also gets on my nerves the way she is with people, prying into the stuff with Cash and Rose initially. And the whole I'm not talking to Eden just because she slept with Cash as if he's some vulnerable kid, when in actual fact to him, Eden's booty call but she is the one who seems to have genuine feelings. I do think the role reversal with Felicity/Cash compared to a year ago, where she's the serious more stable one and he's more erratic. I'd actually completely forgotten about Ziggy. This is going to be interesting...
