So Ben's in the mix now... Hmmm. Also, I can just see Danny boy jumping up and down on that bed cursing Don's name while laughing like the Joker right before commercial! ??? I dread to think what he'd probably do in the sink! I guess Stevo's at the "I wanna stick it in everything" age. Go Pip! She shut Celia DOWN. Frank , you silly ******** ..

Anyone calling Bret a rich MF would be justified ?!

Kinda saw this coming... Great way to build to it. In the modern product, Frank and Bobby would have probably got it on in that stall! (Right after she'd slapped him)

Sooo.... Brett's about to put it ON Bobby. Matt's putting it IN Babs and Poor old Lance is about to be put OUT of a job. In Matt's defence, Barbara before she went bonkers, was the best looking Stewart sister ? Marty on form as ever. Morag's back on the first broom from the city, I see. The fuse is lit and it's about to go BOOM! This new Rev seems like a standup guy.

Danny's nuttier than Squirrel Crap! The opening theme from Psycho is rolling around in my head. You know, that slow Violiny bit (famously Sampled by Busta Rhymes). Don has quite a bit to answer for, too. Ouch for Bobby, Going home after THAT is about as bright as having a Starving Raccoon guard a roast dinner but its IN character with her. Mazza in the mix... Nice. I wonder if Soph, Karen, Blake or Adam will pop in anytime in the next couple chapters as it's 1990 in this universe.

Seems you like Gloria/Miami Sound Machine as much as I do! The songs actually would fit the show and its tone at this point. Then again the up-tempo stuff like 1-2-3, Conga, Dr Beat and Rhythm is Gonna get you fit with the whole Summer Bay vibe too. Ya Yeh Goh! Nev had better watch his back, and Floss too! Consult that Tarot and fast! ?

I can just see Nev been aghast right before the commercial break/freezeframe looking at those butchered pics like some of those hammer horror flicks! The "Heeeeeere's Danny!" Moment is coming... ? I'm intrigued as what Macklin's up to.

That's what I was thinking. He nearly speared Morag, there's no telling what he could do! Hide ALL the sharps!

Don needs a slap in his flat head for the way he's been carrying on!

Yes, this will come back to bite him in the arse! Don seems to be reverting back to his 1988 self and has unwittingly pushed his daughter from the pan into the flame!

I don't know if this was intentional but good touch with Roo with her little apple in the big apple ? I reckon its about time for Mrs F to come home but with everything going on with the kids, she might be like "I'm better off back in hospital!" ? All I can picture is Danny's menacing face in those cheesy clothes frightening the bejesus out of Sal while Bobby thinks the sun shines out of his arse, complete with the stink-eye from Frank! ? Nice use of Martha Sr in Bobby's past. Lance and Marty on form as ever.

^ It will go about as well as serving ham at Passover! ?

^ This is still Early Years Martin we're talking about! The same man who spent $800 to try win a $100 bet and peed away $11k on Stuffed Bunyips and nearly ended up as a registered SO for trying to peddle them outside SBP wearing a trenchcoat ? Anyway, good chapter. You've got just about everyone to a tee. I'm liking competent Lance.

Danny is such a bast! Watch it Bobby or you'll get more than 50 shades from him! I can just imagine Floss' voice booming through the house whenever there's a call or dinner. Nice to know Lancey's big brother instinct extends to Carly. If anything, I thought Marty, who had the hots for her would be the one playing protector. Lance fixing flowers is probably something Maz taught him. It's all kicking off at Summer Bay House! I wonder if Old H&A fan is reading this...

Sal is probably still bitter at this point but that's a brat thing to do. Funny, I see Danielle Carter Rebecca crossing swords with Matt but I see Jane Hall Rebecca getting the 3rd Degree off Don! ?

Just as well Frankie didn't do anything with Alison. Odds are he'd be itching outside Yabbie Creek's free clinic or peeing flames the next day if he did! ? Also, Before this chapter, I was inclined to agree with Red and instantly thought "With that damn mullet on his head, there's no room for brains!" (Unless this is before hacked off that monstrosity! ?)

Hmmm... Rebecca vs Matt. I wonder who has the greater leverage? I notice Sal is still using her birth name (Copeland) as opposed to her Mother's maiden name (Keating) or her adoptive name (Fletcher)

LOL @ The Alison stuff. The LAST person you'd wanna see in Summer Bay while buying Johnnies! (Beside Celia! ?) Brought some much needed laughs. And Frank, Married people still use rubbers! ? Stevo's "Frrraank" was in with the character. This Rebecca definitely seems like her 1994 form (Danielle Carter) Jane Hall or. Belinda Emmett would seem too sweet to pull it off.

Nice use of "Anything for You" (Gloria Estefan was red-hot around this time and this would have taken place around the time she was recuperating from that bus crash that nearly killed her) Intriguing with the Matt stuff. Bobby and Carly's themes are going through my head as are "Have you ever been alone?" while reading.

Great. The Caravan Park Kerfuffle seems believable on screen, I can just see the rest running as soon as Sal gives out a bloodcurdling scream. Complete with Perjanik Doom Piano 1. Followers by that tense string arrangement followed by a light cymbal before the break /freeze frame I can also see Roo smirking like the cat that got the Canary. The sane smirk Nirag gives off when she's being devious. Matt sneaking in and out.. Understandable but at this point in time he and Carls would be 19-20 (despite her still being at school, giving Y12 a third go). Could have been real awkward if Sal had one of her nightmares and wanted to get in with Carly, though.

If this was 1994 Rebecca, she would have probably put Frankie's windscreen through! That said, Frank was a King-Sized prick at Dinner.

Ooh... It's about to get good. I can just see Don giving Danny that serious look he gives whenever he calls a Guardian down to the School or suspects Blake/Shane/Jack/whoever of some general Malarkey! Seems like Narelle's a proto-Irene letting waifs and strays with problems crash at hers ?

Ailse MUST be short-staffed with Matt playing kissies with Carly and Bobby caught up in this love square/quadrangle/whatever to call on Lance! ? I suppose the McPhees are too busy running SB House and the Park, so Why not? Lance was able to take orders in the army after all and made Sarge. ?

Yep, there's crazed Danny. You better lock your door Sal or have Frank, Floss or Lance no more than 10ft away! Nice moment between Frank and Stevo. Interesting use of Rebecca, I see her with either Jane Hall or Danielle Carter's head at this point.

Yeah, Sal is scarily dependent on Frank. Well he probably did protect her from bed bugs, boogeymen and vampires and whatever nonsense kids think is gonna get them in the night...Let's hope he can protect her from fruitcakes with bad hair and cheap suits! ? Nice we've still got Rational Barbara here. Keeping Lance, Marty and the McPhees had made this work. Stevo and Frankie bumping heads ala the pilot only this could end in biffings... Alison on form as ever. Wouldn't have said that to Bobby or at least with Bobby present because she knows what she's capable of!
