2025 Season - UK Episode Discussion

Never heard it so I guess I missed that part.

It was very rushed Cohen leaving Roo and Alf like that.  I'm supposing there will be some sort of follow up by any SW's/SS who live near near Adrian with any paperwork being passed on by Harper's bosses so they can keep an eye on how Cohen settles in. As Roo was just an emergency foster carer I don't know what control she'd have over a foster child going to live with their biological parent.   I know it wasn't Adrian's fault he lost contact with Cohen the first time round, but he did decide not to have contact with him, then made a 360 degree turn.  He falsely  made assumptions  Roo had influenced Cohen into not wanting to go with him but for once she had nothing to do with  it. It was Cohen's thinking he'd be letting her down, but despite being sad about Cohen leaving she told him if he wanted  to go and live with his dad she'd be happy for him.  Loved the old "let's walk and talk" between Alf and Adrian, seems to be a Stewart trait, Alf giving Adrian short shrift about the way he talked to Roo.  Naturally Adrian would be worried how to bring up  a child he hadn't had any contact with, but that happens with parents who have brought their kids up from birth.  Loved how Cohen ran back in and hugged Roo, even Alf looked upset. Crossed fingers Adria will  be able to rope his mum in for advice.  Just like you Red, it will be  a shock for Maz when she learns  Cohen's gone for good. Sad scene with Alf and Roo sitting   on the bench but as Alf said that is how it goes for people who emergency foster, they may only have the child/children for a few days or weeks  but have to give them up to either the parent(s) or more permanent foster care.  

We and Dana  found out more about Sonny's history and it seems he isn't the bludger he's let people think he is.  As he said he didn't care what other people think of him but he does care about what Dana thinks of him. We don't always know what he's does during the  day when he's not with Dana or Remi. Maybe due to his dad becoming bankrupt he decided money wasn't that important to him, he just earned enough to get by and he did say he had some savings. We did see he has been paying rent. 

There is something else we find out about him next week but I'm saying nuffin as I don't put spoilers anywhere. 

Obviously something Harper hasn't done before on-line dating as she had to ask Cash's advice from a  bloke's perspective.  Should she put on her profile he has a five month son - personally I wouldn't - that should be a face to face conversation and not on the first date.   He wasn't that much help but neither was Eden.  We did find out, kind of, how Eden met Cash when she first came to the bay.  Now she's elaborated by saying she scanned the crowd and  picked on one person and that time it was Cash.  It was good that Cash has asked Tane to be his Best Man, not long ago it was the other way around.  Hope Gary is OK as I want to see him at the Wedding. 

I guess Harper had to fill Tane in that she was doing on-line dating, he was a tad taken aback but is it the concern about  how it would affect Archie or more that Harper is moving on and he's slowly realising he feels more than he would like to admit.  He does care, we know, but just as a friend and the mother of his son.  He was getting ahead of himself with what happens when Harper brings a new bloke home, though that does raise an interesting  point, she lives with three blokes - well OK one is only a baby -  and one is her ex fiance.  Be something for this new bloke(s) to get his/their head(s)  around.

If I was Abby I would have dumped Mali he was more like a boring fart parent there more than a boyfriend he might have found her necklace but he still threw in the bin I don’t think many girls would like me throwing their jewellery away

I wasn’t really bothered about Bree getting stabbed really to be honest heartless I know 

I wish Theo and Lacey would leave 

Cohen I wasn’t very interested in but maybe he should have had visits with his dad first before going to live with him Considering his dad ran off the other week in a panic

I'm more sick of Remi tbh and today's just added to it. He's getting really boring now.

That’s the trouble characters just seem to act out the same scenes 

[Red Ranger 1]

It really has reached the point where Remi's just having the same storyline every week. He goes off on the deep end about Bree, people give him a talking to, he seems to have calmed down, then next week it's back to square one. It's reached the point where it feels like it doesn't matter what happens next episode, because it'll get undone next time he appears. It's hard to care about Bree's rather questionable decision to summon him for a talking to, or whatever her solution to him devolving into a crazy stalker ex is. I think about the only thing that could change things right now is if Bree decides to go somewhere else to recover, and even then she'd probably come straight back (like Levi seems to have done!). It's a shame because Eden and Sonny both make good points, but if the storyline carries on as if they haven't said anything, what's the point?

Eden and Sonny got to the hospital awfully quickly after Bree's call: Just how long was Remi standing there? In time honoured soap tradition, Sonny sleeps on the sofa instead of using Kirby's old room.

Meanwhile, Roo is in danger of being the same as Remi but in a familial sense. It seems someone rang Marilyn and filled her in, which is a slightly odd storytelling decision but I guess they wanted to concentrate on Roo's reaction. She's drifted back into that "He doesn't know him" mindset, ignoring the fact she had to learn as well. She keeps saying she's not going to sneak off and see Cohen but I wouldn't be surprised if she did exactly that.

I don’t know if running to totally knacker you self out really helps you when you’re feeling down like Remi is and fitness you’re suppose to work up slowly lol Cash is a cop so he is probably used to dashing around the place 

I don’t know anybody who has gotten over a ex by running 5K lol 

But in my opinion Bree isn’t worth all this hassle haha

[CaptainHulk]

I really don't want to get back to the breaking point I was at in 2022 with this show but a few individuals have me this way! 

For a Doctor, Bree can be quite thick. She should have taken out an AVO/Non-Mol/GTFA/whatever order if Remi kept on. I reckon at this point David is thinking, "Give us a Reason, Carter. Just give us a*reason*..." because nothing Cash says is getting through. Basically Bree and Remi are damaged goods and have been since they got together.

Roo herself probably would have got a warning if she did visit Cohen and Adrian so soon but saw sense to put the brakes on.

I did two episodes back to back late last night and genuinely can't remember what events happened on which episode so forgive me if this is a spoiler.

But yeah I'm getting a bit bored of the rinse & repeat thing with Remi.  He made one, albeit huge, mistake sleeping with Avalon and I get it's frustrating to lose her as a result, but there's only so many times I can watch the puppy dog act before he hits the bottle and spirals because she's told him to rack off.

[H&Alover]

I have to admit the Remi SL is getting a bit thin.  I get they can get him or try to, stop him visiting, calling, texting but they can't stop him thinking/caring about her.   I guess we'll see tonight what Bree says to him.   About Bree going away to recover .  Bree may be  doctor but she's still human and maybe doesn't want to go down that route. She would have to take an AVO whatever out not Cash. Who's Carter? 

Levi did seem to have come back very quick from seeing Mac's mum but according to him  it went OK and she was behind the IVF treatment, well she had been there. 

Could just see what Adrian and his family would make of her just pitching up at his.  Cohen is a bright, clever kid and Adrian would also catch on if Cohen had any trouble adjusting, like Roo did.   Thankfully Alf talked her out of it and she made the right choice or telling the authorities she wanted to take  a break from fostering to get over 'losing' Cohen.  It would be overwhelming for Cohen suddenly meeting all there family members so I hope Adrian takes that into account if Cohen wants to be by himself while there.
