2023 Season - UK Episode Discussion

Later, Zara don't let the door hit you on the way out. 

Still think Flick is not mature enough for marriage.

I wonder what WOULD get pulled up on either Matheson sister if someone started digging

 

[j.laur5]

I think Cash was very bad at letting Irene take fall and throwing her under bus in letting Dana stay there and yes Irene might of agree  but he should not of let Irene take fall and he doesn’t seemed to care Irene could be facing Jail time and if Cash wanted to hide Dana he should of hide Dana somewhere himself and not let  Irene take fall . 
 

Cash is certainly not most brightest of cops and yet so self righteous towards other’s expressly towards Flick even though she probably needs it but still but just makes him  look like such hypocrite. 

[Slade]

I'm also glad that Zara is gone but I'm sceptical of Mali and Rose anyway so we'll see how the relationship progresses.

I think logically Dana is right in that Harper should move out of Irene's based on her lawyer's advice but I'm surprised how cold she is being about it given that Madden and his henchman were quite prepared to murder her in cold blood and Irene protected her from that for as long as she could as Harper alluded to.  She didn't even consider not moving out it like Harper did.

I appreciate Mackenzie is in a very difficult position being close to Felicity and Tane so talking Felicity into speaking with Tane was the correct call.  It will be interesting to see if Felicity actually goes through with it though.

[H&Alover]

I did suggest that was why Felicity was hiding the pills at SALT rather than at home because as we all know no matter how carefully you hide them they get found.  But now it's backfired on her and wasn't really down to super sleuthing, Mac just happened to knock the make up bag down.   I may be out of date but didn't you use to have to take it at the same time each day and seeing as Flick works different shifts she wouldn't be there at the same time very day.  Ok so now she's been rumbled so has a HUGE decision to make as in telling Tane the truth.   Tane had been coercing her into getting pregnant but what is his hurry?   

I'd forgotten about Irene's GBH charge against Tommy, the guy she caught assaulting Bella.  I'm guessing Harper's lawyer couldn't tell her what Irene's criminal history was.   As she and Dana wouldn't know what it had involved made sense I guess they decided to look it up.   We now know why Irene was so stubborn about seeing her lawyer as she feels she could be put in prison because of it.  She got a good behaviour bond for her assault against Tommy but surely that would have expired by now?    But well done John for not giving up, Irene was definitely assuming the worst so keeping her mind off it  by constantly nagging Xander.  She kept saying she 'knows' what her lawyer would say - no she doesn't.  As a side distraction Felicity finds they have an Events Manager but only because Mac couldn't hack dealing with John. 

I was getting increasingly annoyed with Dana! , I get she wants to 'protect' Harper by having her leave Irene's but she seems to have forgotten Irene shielded her by hiding her in her house when she knew diddly about her.   Talking of Dana should we be worried about her very obvious  interest in Tane?  I get he is scrumptious but we know, but she didn't at the time, that he is  married to Flick. 

 Mali you finally put your foot down and persuaded Zara to go home and face her parents.   It may have taken him a while but they did part on good terms which is better than parting as enemies.    Zara did appear to have shot all her bolts as he  showed he wasn't going to be manipulated anymore and gave it to her straight.  Rose didn't go off in a huff when she saw Zara and Mali having a goodbye hug obviously realising  it was innocent.   I'm guessing Mali will stay at the farm   and have Rose stay over or will she move in?  Xander was suitably confused with the changes of who is living at the flat and who isn't.     

Alf, as we saw, is back and clearly visiting Leah and Justin so he's been brought up to date pretty quickly. 

[Red Ranger 1]

More medical dramas for Justin, and Leah seems very on edge to the point of near-hysteria. I can't blame her for hoping for the best though despite Bree trying to tell her to prepare for the worst. Despite her annoying me last episode, I appreciated Dana taking Harper's advice and trying to get herself a job, and even enjoyed her rather irreverent attitude towards Alf.

Yes, Alf is back. And Marilyn is suddenly perfectly willing to lie to him now she's got what she wanted, although I did enjoy her and Roo trying and largely failing to pull the wool over his eyes. (Not helped by them having two secrets to keep!) Was that a photo from Roo's wedding to Harvey? I tried to look at the other people in it but didn't see anyone I recognised.

So Felicity wimped out of telling Tane. And I must admit to being a bit uncomfortable with the way she's getting him to keep quiet about things for fear of upsetting her, while he gets excited.

Nice of Irene, John, Marilyn etc… to check in on Leah & Justin, even Theo’s involvement has been sparse.

Yes it was. With a closer look you can see Indi and the back of the heads of two aunts

 

Interesting factoid - might be easy to dismiss the old Alf/Martha photo as a dodgy Photoshop, but it was in fact a real photo of Ray and Belinda, taken when she had her guest stint in 1998

The only things altered were the background (considering it was the Bayside Diner which didn't exist in Martha's day), and they darkened Ray's hair to knock a few years off.

Oh yes, one other teeny adjustment too that I've reversed below...

Love it, I wonder where the fake background was…

[CaptainHulk]

I knew something was up with the pic just couldn't work out what

[pembie]

I don’t think realistically A record producer like forest would be that bothered about Kirby posting on social media that she’s back gigging with her old struggling band giving up a chance of a lifetime he could force her to play out her contract I’m guessing of sue her but the story seems abit silly to me Forest could if he wanted warn other people in the music industry not to work with her or even the band in the future so seems quite silly to me 

As does Leah not calling Brody Tori or Ava especially when her last visit was centred around Justin not involving her with his life anymore yes he is dying and not good to break that news but it’s kind of thing the family would need or be made aware of silly just silly 

I don’t like that Roo and Marilyn have made up I don’t think they really would have Roo has just been to horrible I think 

As you can probably tell I’m finding the show quite crappy lol
