I must have missed this article. I was prepared to not have a new episode to watch tomorrow morning (having watched the First Look episode over breakfast this morning).

When Marilyn left in 1989 it was strange how Marilyn just vanished without proper goodbye with Morag or anyone else other than Lance I wonder if Morag was still around in early 1990 when Marilyn return if Marilyn would went back to live with Morag.

Where was it originally said that it was airing for longer? I only just found out this evening when looking at the website and finding that there was a new spoilers article with "Next week on Home and Away in the UK" in the preview.

So the UK Cliffhanger that wasn't. The Hypno session followed by the sting and Theo's running over all felt a little bit rushed; had contracts allowed I think the writers would have rather peppered the Lacey/Wendell sting across both episodes - I did the 5 & 5 Star episodes back to back tonight and it did feel like it would have worked better as a one hour episode, but the Lacey stuff didn't hit until tonight's 5 Star episode. It just felt there wasn't much build up for what had been originally plotted as the UK/ROI Cliffhanger. It irked me a little that the new session was done without David's knowledge or oversight. You'd have thought he'd been across it but I assume Jeremy had used his 3 episodes up. Also, for once Theo's fate wasn't explicitly revealed in the promo.

Wedding location did look great. Beautiful cinematography.

I guess while it's nice of the show's makers to do things with UK audiences in mind, Channel 5 aren't behoven to take the show off at the same time every year.I'm reserving judgement as to whether they did the right thing or not.I've remembered that they did the exact opposite with Neighbours in 2020, taking it off air over Christmas when the show's makers had plotted out a UK Christmas Episode for them. Anyway, we've got an episode to look at before that.While I wouldn't say that the dress was worth thousands of dollars, I thought Eden looked nice and the ceremony was lovely. There was a certain element of twisting the knife in with Levi, but Gary's speech about Cash's family, and Cash and Tane's little moment remembering Felicity, were needed. The vows were a bit unconventional but nicely personal.We did seem a bit shy of recognisable wedding guests, with the first two rows being characters with names and then a rent-a-crowd behind them. (I did smile at the Sky from Neighbours cosplayer behind Eden's family!) Jimmy and Debra's reunion was the right mix of being tense and being friendly. I'm glad that Levi seemed to compartmentalise things and enjoy the wedding, there was some genuine emotion on his face when encountering Eden.I wasn't sure about Jimmy sending him away when Mackenzie had told him to be there.It had a touch of "You'd better go because you've used up your three episodes" about it. So, Remi's stood there with his guitar, apparently about to play Eden down the aisle, but when she walks down, he's stood at the front with no guitar in sight. Did he just play a recording or did he give up halfway through?

We're back 5 resumes transmission on January 5. We were originally supposed to come off air with tomorrow's episode, and Seven have plotted the end of the next episode with that in mind, so I'm not sure why we're staying on-air an extra two weeks. I did the maths for the other thread; there are still 9 weeks' worth of 2025 episodes still to air, so this might have played a part.

Interesting that 5 have decided to end the run later than usual this year. I checked back on my calendar and they finished on the 15th November last year. Wonder if they'll be later starting it up again in the New Year. Couldn't they find a better wedding dress than that for Eden? I thought it was awful. 4k for that? Must be mad.

As said before that venue looked a lovely place, Googled where it really is and it looks just as good. It'll be a good plug for them, be able to say in their promos, a H&A Wedding was filmed here. It has indeed taken a while for them to get where they are, seeing as Flick didn't want them getting back together when Eden first rocked up as she had broken Cash's heart long ago, but they've weathered the storms and sailed into quieter waters. Eden was being very traditional about the groom not seeing the bride after 12. It was sweet when she said it'll be the last time she will be calling Cash her fiance, next time she'll be calling him her husband. Is she going to change her name to Newman or keeping the Fowler name? Abby was very organised, she's certainly taking her Maid of Honour duties very seriously though she wasn't too keen of helping Tane unload the car. Tane isn't doing such a bad job either. Was Maz invited to the Wedding? Could I be the first in line to give Mali a BIG hug for stepping up to stay with Mac so Levi can go and walk his sister down the aisle. He would be torn, wanting to stay with Mac at such a tragic time but also feeling he should be there for Eden. They've also come a long way since he first pitched up in the bay two years ago. He's going to have to put one brave face on so no-one guesses the real reason why Mac isn't there. I know Mali said Abby wouldn't miss him as she would be very busy but I think she will and hope Levi has a very good reason why he isn't. Mac's angry/hurt reaction to the news resulted in her tearing up the baby book. I know it's easy for me to say, but it could be kept for the next time. Only natural she would tell he mum who has been there. I'm guessing Dean hadn't been told? Justin was pretty astute here realising something was bothering David and it did do him good to vent his frustrations on someone other than Jo and Lacey who if course are personally involved. He didn't give any names away so breaking no rules/laws. Alf also spotted something was off with David as he didn't seem that bothered about the news Roo had visited Cohen ay his dad's and that he had settled in very well with him and his extended family. Going back a bit, David told Lacey off for breaking into his office, well technically she didn't, the officer at the desk let her in. Her taking the photos of Wendell may have been breaking some kind of law.

Well, I enjoyed the happy scenes. Cash and Eden have had a long road here (Stephanie Panozzo noted it's been building ever since she joined the show!) but they both looked happy and I really hope it goes well for them, despite the wedding guests dropping like flies. (It sounds like Marilyn doesn't even have a reason for not going, she just isn't!) Abigail was great too with her military style attempts to run the wedding party. She and John should team up. Mackenzie and Levi losing the baby straightaway does indeed seem cruel, and perhaps shows why you really shouldn't tell people that early, although at least it means Mali's there for her. So Levi's going to the wedding, which is probably the right thing to do, especially with Mackenzie telling him to, but neither of the Fowler siblings' partners are going to be there! The rest of it was pretty much just characters making up their episodes. Given the way David ducked out of all the questioning at the Diner, I wasn't so sure about Leah and Justin turning up at his place, but he seems to have accepted Justin as his go-to confidante at least.

I thought Dana was bad enough sometimes, but Lacey's making her look a hella lot better with the way she's been behaving. As a policeman's daughter she really should know when she's breaking the law. Dad should have thrown her into a cell for a day or two just to get the point across. Does seem rather cruel to have Mac and Levi's story interconnecting with Eden and Cash's wedding storyline.

Not putting it all on men but Sonny isn't a mind reader so wouldn't know Dana didn't mean it about being OK for him to go to Eden & Cash's Wedding without her, he took her at her word. Even couples who have been together a lot longer than they have get the wrong message. Harper was talking a lot of sense by telling Dana he couldn't read her mind so she had to tell him her real feelings about it, whereas Bree was the opposite. Who btw cottoned onto Levi and Mac's good news - well it was then - by overhearing him talking to Mac so that's another in on the 'secret'. It was funny Sonny getting the nappy changing duty. That venue where Cash and Eden are having their Wedding looks very lush. It was sad for Mac finding she'd been bleeding which does seem she has had a miscarriage, it was very early on in the pregnancy but still distressing as it would be for any woman and getting that book from her mum where she had started writing in. Lovely 'name' Tadpole. This time round Mac was right telling Levi he had to go the Wedding, he has a very important duty to perform. It's going to very poignant for him, pretending to be happy. The Langham girls are a force to be reckoned with as David is finding out. He had to 'fess up he'd been doing his own bit of digging but not getting very far. I can see why Lacey thought Wendell turning up at Katherine's funeral was rubbing their noses in it, but as I said him being the local councillor he'd be expected to and it would have looked odd if he hadn't. Lacey mentioned to Jo about going back to the hypnotherapist to get any more buried memories out, but as David said they wouldn't be admissible in court. so how they could be used against Wendell? No need to sound so gloaty about it.

Australia is back on Monday 19th January. We will see the season return on Monday 23rd February. So we'll be 5 weeks behind.
