We need a least a month sans Leah *and* Justin tbh.

Things really moved on with Justin and Leah as was seen in the  'new' episode of H&A.  Not sure how this new revelation  will affect Maz's promotion, I think she was looking forward to being officially  in charge. One other thing has been decided between them.  Very small thing but a new photo of Theo appeared.  

Red, you saying Jo only agreed to get engaged to Eddie because she thought he saved her, I hope the same doesn't apply to her being Tane's girlfriend as he was the one who saved her.   We haven't seen Lace since Jo and Tane have decided to come out so don't know her reaction to it. 

I think  Levi said ND's would be taking him on in ED/A&E as a trial as any applicant would be, how long that would be wasn't mentioned.  I think, be wearing my brain out with all this thinking, there are other cardio docs there so Jo wouldn't be out of  a job. 

As seen in the 'new'  episode of H&A Mac switches  her attention from Tane to Remi and she really does go at it full steam. She was brought to a halt by something Levi said or rather didn't say but hinted at. 

Yes the brakes have been put on the Volunteering  Programme so Cash's 'secret' is out  but in the fall out there was something amusing - well I found it funny -  David's comment to Cash as in really? 

We did see in  the trailer for the 'new' episode Remi tells Eden something, prompted again by Levi.

So Leah and Justin are finally sorting things out.  Shame they couldn't manage it before she spent several hundred Australian dollars which she won't get back because of it being a last minute booking.   Hope the garage businees can afford it.

I'm sure the Diner will cover the costs. I am glad to see Leah and Justin finally moving forward. It's been an irritating ride at times, but ultimately this is what they both want, even if they lost sight of that for a while.I was thinking that didn't look like the same photo of Theo as well, they were all standing up in the other one? I don't know if we'll see this marriage counselling or if it'll just be treated as something they're working on off-screen.

Even though she doesn't know the full story, Mackenzie was like such a dog with a bone towards Remi that she kind of deserved to get shouted at. Levi pushed right to the boundary of doctor-patient confidentiality and possibly went beyond it. Meanwhile, Cash's claim to be talking to the "funding department" (yes, great bemused reaction from David there!) came back to bite him. At least Remi has fessed up to Eden, which will hopefully ease a bit of the tension.

[H&Alover]

The expense of that flight from Aus to Cyprus will never be mentioned.  An afterthought had Leah  let VJ she was coming to visit but will now have to let him she's not coming? 

Nope you weren't imagining it Red it was a different photo of Theo, Leah and Justin.  The one we'd seen before was them all standing up and Cash gave them the one from the photos he and Eden got back from the photographers. 

We didn't 'see' Justin having his counselling after Theo died so doubt we'll see Leah and his. 

David does now seem to be a lot more relaxed around Cash, even letting him go off to see Eden to sort out the problem with him lying about the 'Funding Department'.  From David's look it screamed "Was that the best name you could have called  it?"

Levi was edging to breaking patient confidentially, but Mac twigged on.  Her statement before "I'm NOT taking no for an answer" did get shot down as Remi said did say NO!  I'm supposing that if Remi gives the OK to let others know Levi can tell Mac. 

Remi's story did all come out and as expected and what Remi was worried about was Eden  wanting to know all the options that were on offer.    Eden did have a go at Levi about not telling her but he couldn't could he.  She was forgiving towards Cash though about him not telling her. 

Mali's 'y senses were twitching when he met Holden which he was right about as we saw later. It did appear from what was said between him and Holden Holden doesn't live in the city but comes from further away and he lied abut his surfing abilities.   Mali was debating with Abi whether to tell/warn Lacey, he wouldn't want to spook her.

Holden was definitely giving off creepy vibes here, I'd say for the first time. Lacey is fine with being friends but he seems to be taking it too far and being possessive and possibly a bit controlling. I'm guessing she didn't know about those other photos either. What exactly would he have done if he had still been there when Lacey came out? Mali warning him off seems to have given him something to focus on. Some nice sweet moments between Mali and Abby, who can make a good unit sometimes.

Eden was pleasingly understanding, she didn't have much of a go at Levi or any sort of a go at Cash. And she's managed to convince Remi to get himself seen to, so win all round!

It was routed via Dubai so it was cancelled anyway, but streets are saying Qantas will either offer a refund or a few last minute flights to somewhere else, idk Perth?

Well, it's really getting creepy with Holden isn't it?  Not easy viewing at all.  Mali's clocked it but will he take the hint?

And here we are, Kerrie's final act of revenge is upon us from 6am if the Promo is anything to go by.

I notice today the director gave us a good look at the very nice, full colour, and very HD monitor that Harper has trained on baby Archie.  My nieces and nephews are only watched by my sisters in black and white at a resolution that makes 5 Star look like 4K video, so she's doing well for herself there to bag that bad boy.  I'm sure it'll be the first thing the local constabulary checks to see how the drugs got into his cot, so hopefully David & Cash will catch up with Kerrie before the week is out and we can go back to The Leah & Justin Show.

All joking aside though, is that a first to have a genuine leg amputee on a soap?  I don't watch the British soaps but it's something I don't think I've ever seen Home & Away do.

[H&Alover]

Don't forget  James  Martin that SL  were shot long ago.

Lacey definitely doesn't  know about those other photos Holden took of her. He did came across as possessive when he was questioning Lacey about her 'relationship' with Mali, but we know he's just her boss and a friend. Despite Mali cancelling his lessons he'll find an excuse to return to the bay. Mali did tell her about his feelings about Holden and him hanging about Salt but he wriggled out of it when she asked him about it by saying he goes off in  a dream sometimes and time runs away from him.

Tane would have paid for that monitor himself. Will it catch Kerrie out?

Tane did tell Harper he was now with Jo and asked if she was OK with her meeting Archie and she was fine about it unlike Kerrie.

Harper did have second thoughts about not letting Kerrie say goodbye to  Archie and she cleared it with Tane first before telling her she could. Going off on  a tandem I do like that top Harper wore. 

I did  try and look up the actor, if he is one, on Google but didn't find anything so perhaps H&A are 'using' a genuine double amputee. Methinks his conversation with Sonny made him make the decision he did. It's a real learning curve for him. 

John was lovely with Dana when she came back from dropping Sonny off at the rehab centre.

He's an actor, director, singer, and former record-breaking youth Paralympian swimmer that won gold.

I realise it's easy sitting here and looking at the promo, but it might have been smarter for Harper to have taken Archie to Kerrie in a public place, rather than taking Kerrie to Tane's house, even with Tane having okayed it. Marilyn's appearance, hanging around on the edge of a storyline, was about as contractually obligated as it gets. Anyway, I'm glad Harper has relaxed the silly rules about not letting Jo see Archie.

Mali voiced his suspicions to Lacey but Holden came up with an explanation that convinced her and didn't involve mentioning his secret photo collection. With that in mind, and Lacey still considering him a friend, I'm not sure that Sheriff Mali running him out of town does anyone any favours. It might have been a better idea to take a step back and just monitor the situation.

Sonny is well and truly throwing a pity party now. It was nice to see John continuing to support Dana. I get the feeling that Sonny took the wrong message from Louis' "heartwarming" story: Not everyone's girlfriend is going to dump them.
