Sal's secret will eventually tumble out. Rebecca is a factor. Ceils is headed for a fall. Something's gotta give with Bobby/Frank and Roo's sitch overseas Ben is in the picture now so he'll play a part.

It's like Matt and Babs are part rabbit! Matt's brain seems to be losing the battle with his junk ? I totally see Danielle Carter's Rebecca trying to put the moves on Matt Sal clamming up doesn't sound good but it's intriguing...

Bobby 1 Megan 0! Seems like Bobby's getting a life/job upgrade. So bye bye Matt and hello Pvt Lucini. The McPhees' van must have been a sight to behold for Megan. Definitely can't miss that thing!

Glad Ceils got CALLED OUT on that Bitch Move she pulled. For a religion of "Love", Christians are often the MOST hypocritical/judgmental people! Glad Frank and Marty ironed things out. While they weren't the closest of friends, they were bandmates and flatmates after all. Ms Woods, I believe you're trying to seduce him! So I guess Matt's on his bike to tend to his Cougar and unborn cub...

Was to be expected. Marty does have a jealous streak a mile wide if you remember the Leanne arc when Matt was teaching her to read.

Strike me flamin' handsome... Ceils has got it BAD! ?

TBF, Chris is 2 and at this point has zero memory of Tom. But I can see how unsettling it would be. Anyway good couple chapters. That part with Frank taunting Bobby with her knickers would have been hilarious if played out on screen, Alex playing keep-away, dangling them above Nicolle who was what, 5 foot Nothing?, if that!? Talking of Undies, there's a slight flash in Episode 3 where during that scuffle with Lance and Martin outside the school, where Bobby has Marty backed up into the truck and basically knees him in his junk, it's quick but noticeable! A kiss just a kiss... or is it, in the case of this show! Martin, for all his bluster has the heart of a cream cracker, after all... Can't wait to see how the rest of it plays out!

Yeah, she's about to roll up on the Good Reverend! Love the use of "Edge of Heaven" (which was the perfect song for Wham! to finish on). I like how they got away with so many Sexual/S&M references in that song but by 1986, no-one gave a damn about the lyrics, just more the hook and the beat!? That'd probably would be on the diner jukebox those times if they could clear it. Seems like the only person things are looking up for is Marty! And his luck with Women wasn't exactly stellar (The whole Leanne mess that earned him a kicking, Mazza's friend Greta)

Alternate Universe 1990 seems to get better and better Run, Matt! One Blonde wants boink you to death well the other wants to hack it off! Fireworks abound, methinks. Martin sliding into the car is totally in character with him, I can see Bobby with a ''WTF is wrong with you?''look on her face as soon as he did!? I'm assuming Babs either assure Matt she was ''Safe'' or poked holes in the rubbers! I can just see Alex rolling his eyes at Celia's anti-Bobby comments.

Times like this someone level-headed like Grant would be needed. Though, his Counsellor ethics and Friendship with Bobby would tear him apart if he knew about Frank/Alluson. Seems like all the Young Bunnies of the Bay want some of Frankie's Carrot! ? It's gonna be hard for Matt to explain if he's seen buying breast/roid cream and nappies at the chemist! ? Seems Lancey's all hung up on Mazza. The Alf/Ailsa dialogue is something Ray and Judy would believably. Poor Stevo, being delayedbrekkie, he was rake thin as it was back then! ?

Lordy Lou... Lucky Tom's not alive! Even though Carly seemed to push his buttons a fair bit, he'd go to bat for her. Just as well Matt's talking to Frank, not Adam who'd be killing himself laughing for 10 straight minutes before giving some advice guaranteed to backfire! I can just see Frank's Cliffhanger Freeze-Frame "Oh, S***!" Face! ?

Guess Babs has become the Cougar that won't leave! Is this a cautionary tale about "Sticking it in Crazy"? ?

Frottin' Each day... Boning Away! ? Is Matt's mission to climb on every woman in town?! Bobby's shorts must be American, One Yank and they're off! ? Pretty Spicy Chapter!

Oh. My. Days. It's never a good sign with Malloy turns up in the evening.... I imagine Sal would have looked cute as a button (Wardrobe rarely ever failed Kate/Sal) while Frankie took the old Monkey suit down to the Dry Cleaners. Can't fault Marty for trying!

I guess Stewart women are pretty fertile! Morag may need to take a test herself after rolling around with Macklin (Who already knocked her up her niece and attempted to make a move on her daughter) ? Surprised Ceils doesn't have a toyboy herself! Though She'd be appalled at the very notion ? And that old snitch is making even more trouble for the Fletchers! She must be taking a leaf out of the late Nell Mangel's book. Just as well Matt and Carly never did more than lie with each other otherwise it'd be clinic time!

In the actual ep (c.1989) Sal had known about the adoption and was keen to let everyone know she was officially a Fletcher but I like how you took emotional license with it. After all, it's an alternate timeline and you can skew events how you wish! ?

Enders was doing great around this time, even with the DiMarcos, who were later given the boot for the Slaters.

Seems like Cougar Babs may just b expecting a cub of her own ? and Matt, you dog, you! Don't blame Don for being jumpy. Ben back in the mix... Guess we know where this is going.

"That flamin' Celia, She'd talk under wet cement!" Well, Stevo's no dummy lol. If this unfolded on screen, I could just see Frank scrambling for the air freshener and bundling Bobby into the closet! ?

Fair enough, it came up just said a short piece on it.

Simon is overdue a whipping. There I said it. He's become such a little fart. Then again the whole Rovers setup isn't ideal for The Barlow/Battersby clan is it? Peter's an Alco, ffs! (Then again the show's Southern rival let Angie and Phil run the Vic respectively ?) The Habeebs bar Rana and her brother are horrible people. Blanche must be rolling in her grave going "Ooh, look at the state of them!"

TBH. I definitely feel like my intelligence was insulted with this storyline. There were post-funeral flashbacks seen in on 1989 of Alf and Roo grieving...

Oooh... It's all going on, isn't it? Bobby's head must be made of Titanium as she seems to be taking a LOT of punishment there and is still standing! Anyone else'd be dead by now! Dammit, Don. Look what you started! Can't help but feel the good Reverend may have stronger feelings for Pip. If only the current product on screen had this intrigue

Ay Dios Mio.. The plot thickens.

Loving it! I can just see a KO'D Ailsa on the ground on the freeze frame. Love the sly Footsie scene at the table. That's totally in character.
