That'd be great. I can see Barbara as a surf girl who would tell Fisher to loosen up. Alf driving around town like **** of the walk, putting his father Gordon's nose out of joint. Lance and Marty as kids and their scams backfiring would be great. Al Simpson and his mistreatment of Bobby and also his "secret other family". I can also see Floss and Nev putting on their shows while Scotty rolls his eyes.

Ugh, Fowler-heavy ep today. Guess Eden, like Leah, can't hold her liquor.

In 1993-94 Times were tough for the Rosses. You could play Summer Bay House Bingo to the amount of times Michael said "We're gonna have to tighten our belts". Or run a drinking game.

Hence Man-Bun sporting folk like that Banjo bloke a while back. It was basically Alf preserved the way t Martha had it before he sold up to the Fletchers as he was grieving her (people don't actually have to die for you to grieve them) and as a tribute kept the joint nice, if a little dated. Let the park go to crap and the McPhees were his only permanent tenants, though.

Let's not forget Colby's origins BEFORE he became "an avenging angel". The River Boys boys weren't a scout troop now, were they? (Though I suspect he and Dean probably tied a few people in knots in there time) Also there was thst time that Angelo kicked off at Belle, trashing the beach house and ostensibly got away with it (Lack of evidence)

Michael was a bit of a Napoleon to be fair. Hogan's General store was probably left the way Bobby's adoptive Grandparents left it with very few updates (looked pretty similar in the 1970 flashbacks) and Ailsa had not long bought it.

Same Police force that let Angelo and Colby join...

I'm surprised a Registrar isn't there pulling her up for that.

Sadly people often don't leave that school crap behind in Adulthood.

I Understand there has to be Give and Take but biting the hand that feeds you (more shelters in this case) is NOT a good look. Nice bit of Truth from John, seemed to steer Cash on the right path but it ain't gonna be that easy.

Jeez.. Last time a family named the Fowlers did my head in it was on a TV show in the Northern Hempisphere! Don't like Mac much these days but glad she pulled rank as Abby was getting too lippy. Show her a boot, too, Levi or no Levi!

Old saying goes; Grief outlasts Sympathy

Yup, I heard that Colleen mention. Maybe Alf should visit her one day in Vegas! "Strewth, they NEVER turn it off over there!" is what he'd say when he came back.

Now I'm thinking Tango ad from 1993 where the Old Lady is about to Pop the Orange Balloon but only explodes herself! (God the 90s were WTF) But Dude I hear ya... Leah's mouth going 30 to the Dozen you're like "Who put a penny in you this morning?!"

No Vamps but some characters have sucked!

Based on what Kirby in Thursday what said, Some characters *really* need to take a vow of silence!

I've heard of it but it was never my cup of tea.

We chuck Sons and Daughters, E Street and Prisoner in the mix, it's almost incestuous (Then we sprinkle in some Pugwall and Round Twist with a smidge of Young Doctors)

Corny but Sweet moment of the ep: Justin: I'd hug you but I'm covered in Grease. Leah: Since when do *I* care?

Sadly when you have a rep of "Costcutter/7-11 Mouth", it sticks!

Yup. Tane even sneezes wrong boom, right down Yabbie Creek Nick.

Yeah if we "Irene it up a little" (Hannah and Andy in particular)

GFR to a few of them, tbh. Oh and Kyle threw himself on the cross for Isla relatively soon after. 2016 seemed like an "enema" year.

Gawd Savus.

Some people don't get happy afters (Will and Gypsy sure as hell didn't, nor did Alex Poulos and Brodie Hanson and a few others and Frank and Roo collapsed within two years off screen) It is possible for people to have long marriages and be happy (some forum members have folks who've been together Donkey's years) There are some things in soaps and in life where you just have to go "Ah, Eff it. " and roll with it. At least they didn't meet in a Kebab queue and shoot off on a cruise together and pretty much marry within weeks ala Vincent Hubbard and Kim Fox on EastEnders
