Boy or girl still unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I believe she stopped drinking this time because she slapped Chris at her lowest point, so Chris stopped her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pembie Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 But surely it wouldn't just stop that easily? It would only get worse I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierced Musie Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 By slapping Chris she has reverted back to her past again, back when she was abusive to her kids. That abuse came about because of alcoholism... which has now been revealed to have happened because of her past trauma. My interpretation is that she refuses to go down that route again, especially now she has a close network of friends instead of bad influences.

Red Ranger 1 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sorry but I'm finding it completely unbelievable.If attacking Leah wasn't enough to bring her to her senses, hitting Chris wouldn't be either.It definitely wouldn't be as simple as "Okay, I'm not an alcoholic anymore" without any discussion.I was kinda hoping the storyline would be followed up on, it seems like there was a circle of her getting drunk, pulling herself back together for a few days and then relapsing again during the last few weeks of the 2015 season, but apparently it isn't going to be.There was no discussion of what happened with Chris, when at least we got that in 2009.By the first week of 2016, they're both acting as though it never happened.I mean, I hated the whole storyline because it never from the start convinced me that there was a reason for her to relapse, and the fact it just got dropped without a resolution just makes it seem even more unnecessary and melodramatic. Unless something happened the night Charlotte died that we don't know about and that's why she's stopped drinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive User Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I found this picture of Irene with a bottle on the Internet. It was a old picture probably back in the 1990s on Home and Away. I can't remember watching her drinking back in the 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Ep 1808 in 1995, Maz had brought it into the house to add to a casserole (she wasn't aware of the 'no alcohol in the house' rule at the time). Irene was having a tough time after the Dodge reveal when she found it, but didn't actually drink it as far as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't watch this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke39 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 So did they just forget Irene has a drinking problem? I understand she got it in control. But they hardly reference it. I guess lately they do alot of storylines, and then drop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
