Mackenzie really did organise the worst farewell dinner ever. She didn't even bother to invite Bree's old flatmate, who had no idea she was going!

That was oversight on Mac's part not inviting Lacey to Bree's leaving do, but and I  may be wrong wasn't it the same time as the barbecue?

No, it was the previous day/night.

It's just dawning me on me how absolutely ridiculous this was: Lacey was actually in Salt at the time! So not only could Mackenzie not even bother to tell her (and Jo, who worked with Bree) that they were having a farewell dinner on the balcony and they could join them if they liked, but Bree didn't walk a few paces to say goodbye! (It's possible we can let Bree off and say she didn't notice them, but Mackenzie commented on their entrance with Tane so has no excuse.)

[H&Alover]

Fair enoughski then about Lacey not being invited to Bree's leaving do.

I think some people are forgetting that  in SB land it's only been just over  a month since Theo  died and so dramatically  too so of course all those affected  will still be getting through it in their own way. There are no set guidelines for  how long you should grief or 'get over it'. Everyone grieves in  a different way.   I think and only mho, that Leah is reacting the way she is is because of her last words to Theo, she told him not to come to her if it all goes badly and as it turned out it did but of course he can't come to her, so's she's feeling guilty.   

Leah oversteps the mark again but won't say more for those who haven't seen the 'new' episode of H&A  on Friday.   Was some relief, NOT saying that word for the Langham family.  Would that be a normal way for the courts to act not letting David or Leah know Wendell's hearing was being held that day? 

That was one impassioned speech from Levi  on how he feels about Mac. His face lit up when he was talking about her, she really is the love of his life and before anyone jumps in about he was married when he met Mac and cheated on Imogen with her, if he'd been truly happy with Imogen he wouldn't have strayed. Anyways now Mali can  get on with the design on the board he's making for Mac. 

Remi has got over his obsession with Bree btw.

I agree that it’s very silly for Harper too involve her mom in Archie’s life I can understand Harper Tane can and probably will run off with Archie any time so he can’t be trusted at all I don’t think 

Mali designing a broad for Mac I’m not so sure that would make up for a miscarriage but what do I know As for Mac and Levi having another baby I don’t think they should 

Bree leaving town and nearly not saying goodbye too Remi that would have been really low

But the thing is He's in deep S*** if he does whether someone grasses him up or not especially being on a bond and all.

Yep, they pass the Idiot stick between Cash, Tane and Remi when they get bored. Every now and then it gets handed to Justin or Mali. Even the females on the show aren't immune

Bree replaced with a "Welcome To Summer Bay" shot as of Friday.

Not in British justice, no.  Normally 3 or 4 weeks between a plea/being found guilty, and a sentencing, although Wendell is on remand.

[James Martin]

Moving onto today and I'm not sure anyone should be getting on this party train.  This is Home & Away, not Thomas The Tank Engine.

[Medea Fleecestealer]

Wonder if Justin and Leah are going to break over her continuing grief over Theo.  Thinking Justin never loved Theo is just stupid given all he did for him over the years.  And I think she's still trying to substitute Sonny for Theo in a lot of ways which is why she keeps trying to run back to him.  

[Red Ranger 1]

Sonny really, really needs to grow a backbone. He says that he's been firm and clear with Leah but he was way too nice even to start with, and every time it just takes her to get a bit teary and start spouting her delusions about how he's the only one that understands and instead of putting her straight, he's right back in there. At this point, he's part of the problem. While Leah's being unfair to Justin, I think he needs to learn to stop looking for an easy solution and just be there for her, ironically like Sonny is. Pull her up when she's bullying Lacey or stalking Sonny, fine. But you don't try and fix her being sad. I'm not sure why Cash thought Dana's "hypothetical" meant she'd done something!

I think it was Cash that said this is the best outcome they could have had with regards Wendell. I'm not sure why Eden felt the need to announce he'd got a life sentence as if that's news: He's pleaded guilty to murder, that's a mandatory life sentence, it's how much it means in real terms that's the headline.
