On today’s episode I was remarking to the future Mrs Rock earlier how the school scenes are one of Home and Away’s strongest points. There’s always some level of pranks going on and at worst you get some decent banter in the school. I was encouraged also to hear promise of a new character from Lucas’ comments about a tutor from writing workshop coming to teach in SB High shortly. Hopefully it’s a bloke and he takes Sally from Brad and is a tough role model for Ric.
Cheers for the update. You were abroad last week when we first met the new teacher. She’s a female and relatively decent looking. She’s 22 years old and Lucas scored her at the writers’ camp by pretending he was a university student. Brad and Sal met her to welcome her to the Bay and said she might know one of her students as Lucas Holden was at the camp. She looked aghast but later scored Lucas. Then she said their relationship couldn’t continue but it could make for good drama.
Noticed something tonight when Belle and Irene were calling around to Amanda’s. I was thinking it was typical of Amanda to ask Belle to come around to her place rather than calling over to Belle’s gaff. Then I started wondering - where does Belle live? And I concluded it’s the Beach House with Irene because I don’t remember her ever moving out. Which got me thinking - when was the last time we saw the Beach House? Have they lost the set or something? Irene and Belle only appear in the Diner these days.
If Tony scores Lucas’ bird then my predicitions about him will have come true.
I have fallen for that new teacher in a big way. Tony doesn’t deserve an apology - see how the weiner was all guilty the morning after. Did you see it the other day when Naomi was trying to get to grips with surfing? The Mi-Wadi on her when she came out of the water was superb. Her nipples were like coat hangers through the bikini top and then Tony came out with the killer line, ‘Trying to surf? I could give you a few pointers!’
Interesting point about Belle and Irene. I also read lately that the reason the caravan park has barely featured is because of a bushfire in the area they use for it. Great to see it back in play now that Naomi’s here.
Ah, this is class. Lucas is spilling to Tony about Naomi!
Kim and Kit are useless - I’d be happy to get rid of them but it didn’t look like that bad an electric shock. I wouldn’t especially mind Rachel hanging around with Dr Sullivan because I’ve no bad feelings towards him but when you think about it: Rachel and Brad is a shocking family to have introduced to the Bay.
Summary of the last two episodes please (Wednesday and Thursday). Damn Celtic and damn work making me miss it at a crucial time in the Rachel, Hugh, Kim, Kit love quadrangle.
Missed yesterday but got half filled in at work (colleague watched it with no sound so it’s not a perfect synopsis). Anyway yesterday was about the school gang again. Jules took Cassie for a test drive and messed about with the car or something so they ended up kissing. Actually think that might have been Tuesday. Can’t remember now so I’ll just concentrate on today.
It seems Tony planted an apology letter outside Naomi’s van apologising for shouting at her or something and pleading with her not to tell Lucas, which I think she said she felt they had to do. (Weak move from Tony that I’ll admit). Anyway Lucas knocked over to Naomi before school (don’t know why) and found the letter in the envelope and opened it.
So Lucas knew that his dad had slept with Naomi and when he got into school he went all cheeky again in Naomi’s class and she sent him out. He left the school and went to the gym where he found Tony and confronted him. Tony didn’t even explain to him that he had slept with Naomi before he knew that Lucas had done the same thing which is a crucial point he should have clarified. He just waffled on about being confused or something and Lucas didn’t accept it.
‘Ric caught up with Lucas and had a real good chat with him. He said “I know it seems so unfair that you’re the one who has been hurt in all this and now I’m asking you to look out for everyone else and to do the right think but please Luke don’t tell Mattie and Kit about what happened.” Seemed to get through to him because Lucas didn’t object. At the end Mattie had cooked a special dinner for Tony (not knowing that Tony has a thing for Lucas’ ex’s) to celebrate his new business as a family. Lucas was making smart comments at the start but it was fairly clear that he wasn’t going to say the whole thing. Then from nowhere he stood up and told everyone what had happened.
In other happenings the kids are all organising a party on the beach for Drew’s 18th. It was supposed to be at Drew’s gaff but his school results are awful so Dan forbade it.
Tony knew Lucas had slept with Naomi. Lucas blurted it out to him the other day after Tony wondered aloud whether there was anything on his mind. So Tony raced over to Naomi and had a right go at her. 'Ric then confronted Tony and told him he had to tell Lucas ('Ric had seen Tony fleeing away from Naomi’s caravan that morning after he banged her).
So Tony obviously wrote that letter of apology to Naomi for lashing (out at) her and hadn’t got round to explaining things to Lucas before the kid found the letter.
No Tony had decided that he wasn’t going to say anything to Lucas that it was best to say nothing to him ever. What he didn’t make clear to Lucas was that he didn’t sleep with Naomi after Lucas had told him about sleeping with Naomi at summer camp. For all Lucas knows, Lucas told Tony about what happened at the camp and Tony went off and slept with Naomi that night. I think he needs to make clear to Lucas that he didn’t know the full story at the time.
He has nothing to be guilty about seeing he had no idea Lucas had already slipped one in her.
When I say nothing to be guilty about I mean as regards his relationship with Lucas rather than guilt towards that dead, frumpy slag Beth and her children.
When? Did he say it last night? I was waiting for him to say it and never heard it but I’m really bad at following tv and films these days. I just lose touch with the plot.

Yeah, he said it last night. Something along the lines of “Lucas [ya weiner], I didn’t know at the time”.
Can’t even remember if I saw it. Here’s a very brief synopsis of what I think happened but I can’t be sure it was Friday’s.
Big party on the beach for Drew’s birthday. Drew gets locked. He’s about to score Belle when she sees Mattie is completely sloshed and runs over to help her. When she comes back to tell Drew that she’s taking Mattie home, he’s pashing some random bird. She not happy.
Earlier Lucas and Mattie had been skulling whiskey as both struggled to come to terms with Tony’s perceived betrayal. Episode ends with Tony finding Lucas unconscious just off the beach.
Might’ve been some cr@p around the love quadrangle but I switch off to that now. Cassie and Jule pashed again. The party was broken up by Dan and Mr. Stewart.
