Would you really want Morag representing you? Kim is fooked as far as I can see.
Alfred Stewart and Cane Phillips have both been found guilty under her watch even though each was innocent.
Similarly, Barry Hyde will be fooked as he has her defending him (he deserves to go down though imo).
Anyone else Morag has let down over the years?
Speculation as to who the pyro might be?
I’ve included my guess in spoiler tags even though it’s not a spoiler at all - it is just a guess.
[spoiler]Belle. Reasons being:
What I don’t have is a motive, and especially a motive for framing Drew.[/spoiler]
I’m gonna do a Bandage here and say I don’t think it’s Belle. I think it may be that cop that found the kero under Drew’s bed. Again, motive unknown.
How did Bandage edit my post? And what did he change? I can’t believe I let thepiedpiper log in as “admin” yesterday too - a terribly lax start to moderating for the new year.
Anyway fair enough guess on that other cop. It’s a tricky one alright - no real clues. It’s hard to imagine it being Belle but if I was a cop that’s who I’d be looking to blame.
Anyone else notice the sexing up of Home and Away lately? We had Cassie showering with her beau, then Belle and Drew at the same lark. Belle wearing a bikini for no apparent reason. Amanda swimming in the nip. Even an ass grab from Mattie’s new fella (Adam is it? drawing a mental blank here) when he was scoring her. Not the most explicit of gestures but I don’t think it would have happened a few years ago.
I don’t really believe in my heart that it is Belle, I’m just suggesting to the cops that it’s worth interviewing her. Likewise I’ve been convinced from the start that Drew didn’t do it but there was feck all evidence to decide he wasn’t invovled. For one of the many fires he has an alibi who happens to be his girlfriend’s mother, his dad’s ex-mistress, his uncle’s ex-wife and a known perjurer. Why would anyone believe her?
I hope it was Ric - clever move from him if he was involved - but again I’m doubtful. The kero at the garage is a good theory though.
See rocko’s post above; I had to edit it cos he couldn’t spell ‘spoiler’ so he wouldn’t give it away then clarkey comes in and ruins it anyway!
I don’t think it’s Belle but I have no firm thoughts on who it might be.
I happen to think it’s some character who hasn’t featured prominently recently, their involvement in this will lead to a ‘grand return’ and in turn a hot (no pun intended) storyline. Trouble is, I can’t think who that might be or why they’d be pissed off with Drew and trying to frame him.
As an aside, that crowd of coonts in RTE would want to get their act together. Smellthebenjy arrived home at his usual lunch hour, watched the news, flicked through the paper, consumed his soup and sandwiches, and settled down to watch Home and Away - only to be confronted by Sonia and all of those other fucking whingebags from Eastenders. Things better get back on course quickly or I’ll be up to Donnybrook to do a Paul Stokes.
Would it be outrageous to guess it might be the stalker looking to get Drew in trouble instead of his dad? I still haven’t seen the stalker’s body so anything is possible.
I’m reliably informed by forum voyeur susanb31 that the stalker is indeed dead. Due to censorship issues and a graphic death scene the body of the dead stalker and TT was not shown. Being the resourceful chap that you are rocko perhaps you could find said censored video online and post it. Only just thought of doing that this instant. Youtube is blocked in work and I’m webless at home. Apparently TT was in love with Zoeveine and that’s why she went along with the shenanigans.
Did ClarkeyCat not confirm that the stalker is very much dead? According to CC they showed the stalker’s remains in Australia on Channel 7 but it was cut out by RTE who thought it was too gruesome to show before 9pm. I think one of his mates read about it on the official website. I like the Ric theory. He’s one of my favourite characters but I was just thinking that he’s being sidelined a bit in the plots lately what with him not being in school with all the others. Mattie’s new beau is called Dean btw and he’s an awful drip. I fooking love the show but watching it yesterday I was wiondering how this is possible given my open hatred towards over half the cast…Tony, Bet(h down ugly), Lucas, Leah, Dan, Kim, Rachel, Cassie, that Brad guy, his boring terminally ill wife, Robbie and even Tasha to an extent despite her hotness.
I love/like Mattie, Ric, Sally, Alf, Belle, Amanda, Drew, Colleen, Morag, Irene and have no real feelings one way or the oter towards Martha and Jack. I hope Jack steps up to the plate as with all the crime on the Northern Districts region over the last 18 months he could really have a cracking role to play.
Agreed on the sexing up of the show. Missed the 1st half of the Amanda in the nip episode. What did it show?
Just got in there before ya about the stalker. See above.
Following on from your post the characters I like are:
Sally, Alf, Ric, Belle, Drew, Morag, Jack, Martha, Robbie, Tash, Cassie, Macca, Brad, Emily
Don’t like:
Tony, Beth, Mattie, Lucas, Amanda, Colleen, Rachel, Dan(!!!)
Don’t care:
Kim, Leah, Irene
Characters dearly missed: Flynn II (RIP), Pippa, Vinny, Chloe (RIP), Justine, Will, Gyps, Noah (RIP), Nick. Ails (RIP)
Characters not missed at all: Scott, Hayley, Tiegan (RIB), Dani, Seb, Dylan
I’m making it my mission to have that video up on the site this evening - I’ll even try and get it on a non-youtube format for CC.
On the likes/dislkies I’d go for:
Like:
Sally
'Ric
Matilda
Belle
Drew
Morag
Macca
Tony (don’t know why)
Amanda
Colleen
Kim
Jack
Don’t like:
Beth
Lucas
Rachel
Leah

Don’t mind
Irene
Love
Mr Stewart
Pretty much bang on there - I’d feel a bit for Dannii because she was dragged down by Scott but that was her call I’d guess.
I also miss Caine and Kirsty something else. They were a cracking couple. It still hurts to see Chloe’s name in lists like this - it seems so final.
Like:
Ric, Sally, Alf, Mattie, Morag, Irene, Tony
Hate:
Leah, Tasha, Cassie, Belle, Amanda, Colleen, Rachel, Brad, Lucas
Absolutely hate
Dan, Kim Just go once and for all, your threats to leave are just getting my hopes up
Can go either way depending at present all tending towards hate
Drew, Jack, Robbie, Beth, Martha, Emily
I think Part of the reason Im not loving h&a at present is none of the characters I like have a decent storyline.
Yeah it’s rare to see Alf only loitering around in the background. To be honest it’s just not on.
I don’t like these ‘death’ storylines that drag on either. Emotional though Dr Saunders’ last episode was the build up was too much for me. That’s why I was half hoping he’d get killed in the storm that time. Now we have Sal being the moral support for a couple of people she hardly knows.
Why do people like Tony? He’s a boring, nosey, do-gooder, going out with a frumpy skank.
The scene tonight when Alf arrived home to find Sal watching the video Dr Saunders made for her before he died was pure class. That one scene encompassed the greatness of the show. Cracking quote from Alf to the barman in Noah’s when he was leaving for the night, ‘I’m off like a prawn left in the sun’. Super stuff.
I know Tony has done nothing to make me like him but likewise I just cant hate him. He just comes across as a lovely easy going bloke and I really hope he gets a decent storyline to shine in one of these days.
I Agree, excellent scene with Alf and Sally its moments like that remind me why I love home and away. I had tears in my eyes for it. I like how they show Sally still struggling to deal with Flynns death.
A few further Home and Away points that I was discussing with my siblings during the show this evening:
When Tony was fired the other day he said to Beth, ‘I’m 40 and I have no job.’ I know age is sketchy enough in H&A at the best of times (e.g. one day Kim was meant to be about 15 and in 3rd year, then he left school and a month later he was 19 and going out with Hayley) but how old is Jack meant to be? He lives with with Kim, who’s still 19, so is he only meant to be around that age? Do you not have to spend 3 or 4 years training to be a cop in Australia? How is he leading investigations and stuff if he’s only 20 years old or that? Did Tony father Jack when he was about 17? I want answers. I still don’t see any redeeming features in Tony at all.
How old is Beth meant to be then? Scott Hunter was about 28 so Beth must be about 46? I presume she got married at about 17 like everyone else in the show seems to do. The state of the clothes she wears, Tony really could do a lot better and should dump the frump. She’s too old for him.
How do people know where other people are going to be? The amount of scenes where somebody just walks up to a random place and meets the person they’re looking to speak to! We had that with Sally and Brad tonight near the end. As an aside how many times is Brad going to fly off the handle with Sal and then profusely apologise the next time he sees her? That must be about 5 times in 2 weeks now.
Turns out when I got home that my mission was to drive Mrs Rock to Fingal instead. Then come back and make dinner and then it was nearly time for the Ashes.
