After a desperate search, Rachel is nowhere to be found! Tony and Jack think Rachel's psych patient, Jimmy might be involved. Leah and Martha discover emails from Hugh saying he is back from South Africa and he wants to see her. She was seen putting a suitcase in the car, so could she be on her way to see Hugh?
It's all very mysterious and now this is your chance to play detective. Gather the clues from Summer Bay Online
and we will post your theories on this page. Send an email to homeandaway@seven.com.au and put 'Where's Rachel' in the subject line.
Daniel: Hey again. This will probably be my last entry on this forum since the fact I now have this mystery in the bag for sure. It's all very clear to me now especially after watching last night's episode and playing today's game that Elliot didn't kidnap Rachel at all. The 4 wheel drive does belong to Elliot and the body in the back was clearly Roman all along out cold after being drugged with the sleeping pills that Elliot stole from the hospital and he was taking Roman deep in the forest to carry out his evil plan against him. Rachel is definately with Aden helping his father with his condition because Aden must of asked her for her help and she couldn't refuse turning her back on her duties as a doctor. In today's game it also revealed that Jimmy didn't have Rachel just like I thought.
Only we all didn't know that all along it was simply his dog which he was also taking about in that email that he sent to Rachel's friend Jess. Just about all the clues found in the bait shop were reguarding to Elliot's plans with Roman and Nicole including the knowhow book of tying knots found in the Juice Bar. Then there's Belle's phone bill found in today's game too. Clearly she's been calling Aden's number again and again to try and talk to him and this proves his been laying low to protect his father while Rachel is helping him out. As for the missing dogs and american couple, well when you think about it, it really isn't a issue anymore.
Perhaps what happened to the couple was simply just an unforturate accident after all and the missing dogs that were drugged by sleeping pills does seem to have Elliot written all over it. Or maybe perhaps it was Aden who drugged the dogs with the pills he had and took and needed them to protect his privacy with his father so no one would come snooping around looking for him. Whatever the case, it really doesn't matter now that I'm sure where Rachel is. I'm sure everything will be revealed in tonight's show. If I'm wrong about Rachel's whereabouts then you got me. So, on that note it's CASE CLOSED. It's been really cool playing detective. I hope we can do it again. Cheers and Thanks! Bye Now!
Daniel: Hey again. I just been going back through all the clues for the past three weeks on Summer Bay Online to see if I've missed something and something has occured to me. In my last entry I did say that it's either Aden or Elliot who has Rachel. A lot of us have been saying that Rachel has been kidnapped including myself. If she has been kidnapped than it's Elliot who's done that. But if Rachel is with Aden then he hasn't kidnapped or holding her against her will. It occured to me that it's not in Aden's nature to kidnap someone. She's just there for the sake of his father and theating him with his condition because she knows that his father can't go to the hospital because he's still wanted by the police.
Either Rachel work out on her own when they had that converation earlier about his father and medical condition and decided to go there to threat him or Aden came to and told her about his father and asked for her help and agreed to help out. If Rachel is indeed with Aden then the body in the back of the 4 wheel drive car, which I believe belongs to Elliot, is possibly the woman from that american couple and Elliot was disposing it somewhere in the ocean. Also if she is with Aden then Elliot would of needed the knowhow book of tying knots for his evil plans with Roman and Nicole and the faxes from Floss must all relate to the dangers that their both in.. I've seen in last night's show that Elliot did use some good knots on Roman and on Nicole earlier in the olympic cliffhanger show.
Playing today's game there was another scene of Jimmy talking to Rachel in his caravan. But I still believe she's not there and that he's still being delusional because of his metal condition. Knowing Rachel she wouldn't do a runner on her wedding day and if she's with Aden and his father then she would of personally realised that it's her duty as a doctor to help someone out when their not feeling well. As for a few other clues in today's game, the boat that washed up is the same boat that Elliot took Geoff and Nicole on and possilbly the same one her stole from the american couple they originally hired from Alf's bait shop. And then there's Geoff's wallet with pics of Nicole and Melody in it. He still cares for both of them but which one does he really care for more? More theories soon. See ya!
Bronte: Hi H&A Fans-My theories have changed once again. My theorie that has changed is rachel. I now believe that jimmy has rachel he obviously thinks that if he spends lots of time with her
she will end up leaving tony for him.
Thats why he was at her house because he knew Tony was having his bucks night and knew Rachel was alone!!
Also Jimmy said ill feed you myself on summerbay online which suggests she was there and he was
going to feed her right then which he couldnt do over the phone. Anyway more theories very soon
Elysia: hiya, my theory is that aden has rachel, because he needs someone he trusts to talk to because he is so distressed. i think the thing with jimmy is he is misunderstood.
Natasha: I think Rachel is with Aden... Jimmy is just delusional, and i think he truly believes that he has Rachel. Aden on the otherhand, has gone to Rachel on many occasion's to talk about his problems, so i believe that he has spoken to Rachel about his dad and she is helping him!!!
Kim: Rachel is in Jimmy's caravan as it looks like he took her hostage and won't let her go.
Melissa: Rachel's disappearance is very much a mystery, we are led to believe that she has been kidnapped by jimmy, ran away the night before her wedding, gone to visit or hugh or is staying with Brad in Tasmania. There is no concrete evidence to support any of these theories, I believe that she has been kidnapped by jimmy. At first she was possibly going to run away but jimmy was hiding outside her house and approached her when she came outside. Jimmy took her car and kidnapped her. I think Rachel still want's to marry Tony she just needs a little bit more time. Jimmy's obsession with Rachel is a little bit to much of a coincidence. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Paul: My theory as to Rachel which many of you are now mis crediting is that Aden has her. Rachel can't be kidnapped, it would be the 3rd time in a year (Reverand Hall, and then that crazy guy who fell in love with Kim) and I'd like to think that the script writters would try something different. So Aden has Rachel but not against her will. She notice the drugs missing in her car whilst packing for the honeymoon (because Rachel wouldn't run thats something we all agree on, its not in her character) after seeing the drugs missing and getting her present from Jimmy she remembered the conversation she had earlier with Aden regarding his Dad and his medical condition, pieced it together and went there, she found Aden in the state he was and talked to him and he told her about his Dad's abuse as him and Rachel have a close bond because she found him his counsellor and he confided in her at first as well. So he then admitts to wanting to put his Dad out of misery because his in pain and will more then likely die either way. With Rachel's help and Aden not willing to kill his Dad to inhumanly he convinces Rachel to administer a lethal overdose, killing his father. Eventually by wednesday (as in this week) Rachel will return after Belle discovers the truth, reeling Rachel must come to terms with what she has done (assissted suicide, even losing her medical certificate and the fact she missed her wedding). Aden must also deal with the fact he killed his father, both Rachel and Aden will tell the authorities that his Dad broke into Rachel car stole it and the drugs and burnt it out leaving it on the side of the road hence the his blood match, planted. Obviously this would have been done by Rachel and Aden adding to why she was missing for a few days. So thats what I believe!
Jenah: Hey Again, ok so Rachel is missing and i don't think that Jimmy has anything to do with as much as he likes Rachel and all, i don't think that he would do anything to Rachel but i think that he wouldn't kidnap Rachel or anything. When she was leaving she left with a suit case so obviously she was going to go somewhere. I think that she went back to see hugh after getting his email. I think that she will come back in the future (with Hugh) and discuss why she wasn't there for her wedding but i feel so sorry for tony and with him gone, to have some time alone i think that will turn into a disaster and something bad will happen
Jessica: i know were Rachel is, she is in Jimmy's caravan.
Rebecca: Hi! I think Jimmy has kidnapped Rachel as she was putting her bags into the boot of her car. While Rachel was driving her car with Jimmy beside her she tried to pull over but Jimmy said "to keep driving or i will hurt you". But Rachel didn't care she decided to pull over and make a run for it, but Jimmy beat her to it by knocking her out. So he put rachel in the boot of the car and he drove back to his house at the caravan park, where he lays her down on the bed with her hands tied.
Jimmy tells Rachel that she needs to take care of herself and not worry about other people. You are loosing to much wait you need to eat. I will (jimmy) go and get you some food i will only be a few seconds. So Rachel decided this was her chance to escape but as she was trying Jimmy walked in pushing Rachel back to bed. As Rachel fell on the bed she banged her head on the bed head, knocking poor Rachel out!
Jimmy calls out to Rachel but no answer so he walks over to her and checks her but she is unconscious. Jimmy panic so he wraps her up in a blanket and puts her in his four wheel drive thinking she is dead. So he takes her out to the bush to bury her, but before he buries her he goes to find somewhere where it is soft.
On his way he walks right into the wire that Elliot planted for Roman killing him. (Elliot thinks he has killed Roman but he has killed Jimmy instead).
And Rachel she is in the four wheel drive. That's where i think Rachel is.
Daniel: Hi again, It seems my theory about Aden being the heavy breather on the phone was wrong. Clearly to me now it has been Tony all along still hurt and upset and not able to talk much after being left alone on his wedding day. With this being the case perhaps this my theory about Aden not being involved with Rachel's disappearance was wrong too. Maybe he has something to do with it after all. After discovering the clues in Friday's game the mystery has become more mysterious and puts it in a different direction. One thing I'm sure of is that Jimmy doesn't have Rachel. There's a scene overhearing Jimmy in his caravan that seems he has Rachel but I think he's just talking to himself. The clues at the hospital said that Jimmy has some sort of mental disability obsessing over Rachel.
I actually think the Jimmy's mental condition is causing his mind to be delusional making him think and act like that he's with Rachel. Perhaps it was Jimmy after all who sent that email to Rachel's friend Jess letting her know that Rachel is fine when all along he's just being delusional. As for Rachel's whereabouts now, well it's out of two possibilities. One, Aden is the one who's kidnapped her to help his father recover. Or two, I was right in my last entry that Elliot has kidnapped Rachel after all and holding her hostage for some reason. But I'm certain now that someone has kidnapped Rachel. The clues in Friday's game reveal that for sure. The clues are there was a fax from Floss saying her hands are tied which would indicate that Rachel's hands are tied up.
Then there was a phone call at the police station from a witness saying he tried to help a guy in a 4 wheel drive with a flat tyre and thinks he saw a body in the back of it. That would indicate that this body could be Rachel and I know that Elliot has a 4 wheel drive car. Plus, there was those clues from my last entry about the knowhow book on how to tie someone up, the website how to interrogate, and those stolen dogs. I remember now that Elliot took a dog's collar from the bait shop and recently there was a police report that the dogs were drugged by sleeping pills which to me all points to Elliot. Whatever the case, it's either Aden or Elliot who has Rachel. I'm still not quite sure yet. The plot has even thickened more. I'll keep you posted. Bye!
Rachel has been kidnapped by Jimmy because of the affection he has for her. The dogs are there to guard her so she does not go anywhere and to keep her quiet.
Elliot stole drugs from Rachel's cars so that he could drug Roman and take him to this island to kill him as a revenge on his brother. Also that Nicole got kidnapped so that Roman would go after her in the first place but i think that they will get back to the bay OK.
Martha will be ok it won't be her that ends up dying, If they take her out of the show it stops the triangle with martha/roman/jack.
Aidan's dad will end up dying because he was nearly dead on the last hour length episode, Good riddance he was a pain.
Tony will be the one that discovers Rachel and everything will end up ok for them........Well i hope so anyway.
Well that's what i think will happen, it will be interesting to see how everything does come together.
Bronte: Hi H&A fans...After looking and playing summerbay online my theories are
Rachel- Rachel has not ran away and has not been kidnapped by Jimmy. I think Adens dad got very bad and aden got rach to go and help him. i also thought that hugh and his friend that might have been hurt are in Melbourne. i support the theory that rachel is going to help hugh and tony is in on it. Their meeting place must have been in the place at Dubbo where Tonys wallet was found. Rachel did not turn up obviously as she had gone to help Aden and Larry. When rachel had finished treating larry, Aden would not let her go back home because he feared she would tell the police and he and his dad would go to jail. Jimmy found out that Rachel was at Adens and Aden wasnt letting her go and was helping rachel over the phone.
Nicole Geoff and Roman- N and R on the map obviously mean Nicole and Roman Geoff is not on the map because Elliot didnt
intend on Geoff being there. Elliot didnt hit Geoff with the arrow because he didnt want geoff to live he just didnt want geoff to save Nic. Elliot obviously planted a copy of the maps near Roman after he went back to clean up. Expecting Nicole to drown Elliot was luring Roman to the bush under false pretences. Elliot has somehow been having access to alfs computer and may tip off the police- who will look at alfs laptop and see lots of evidence against alfs name. Blaming the whole nicole and geoff and roman thing on ALF. Flosses faxes have something to do with everything Elliot is doing. I hope that nic and geoff dont die they are a great couple.
More theories to come.
Marie: hi everyone, im very excited about the home and away olympics cliffhanger storylines :),i cant wait for H&A to come back on; anyway... i can say that i hope that martha does not die because i absolutly love jack and martha and i hope aden and belle stay togther because i love them aswell, my theory for the storylines are;
.jimming has got rachel it makes sense because;its sound like he took the pills/drugs from the hospital and also the guy named richard leaving a message at the police station stating that he saw a guy that needed help and looked like he had a body in the back, Jess' emails to Rachel, also sending what jimming had sent to Jess and all the other cules i do really think that jimming has rachel.
.Aden and belle; i think Larry is lying to aden about what his grandfather done to Larry i think hes only doing that because he wants adens help, as for aden and belle i hope they dont break up because i love them togther.
.Martha and Jack; i don't think that Martha will die shes got such a great storyline going on although i would have liked the baby to be jack's, i hope she doesn't die because i also love them.
.Geoff and Nicole; i think people will start to listen to ruby when she tells them they are in the ocean and the'll get rescued and become a couple.
.Elliot vs Roman; i think roman will win this battel after all he has been in the SAS before.
and that's my theory's for the olympic cliffhanger thanks guys can't wait to watch home and away again!.
Ashii: jimmy kidnapped rachel and has her held hostage becuase he wants to be with her.
Catherine: hi again, i have another theory, aden stole the pills out of rach's bag to help his father, jimmy has an affection for rach and therefore believe he is not responsible for her missing, his email to jess suggests that she was in danger but now he has her and she is safe, i believe tat aden took rach to help his father, became irratic when she tried to call for help and maybe hurt her, jimmy watching rach with an obsession saw this, stole the dogs to distract aden while he gets her out, but because of his condition decides she is safer with him and jimmy is the one who has rach now, belle discover aden hasnt gone away and spots something of rachels left at his house, aden confesses and tells belle everything, belle knows where jimmy is and rach is rescued, its either that or elliot has her to use her psychology knowledge in the hope that she can get roman to tell the whole truth about elliots brothers death??? lets see what clues are on tomorrows game????
Maddie: i think marthas dead.. i think this because on wednesday on summer bay online when you go to the hospital julie comes and says there has been bad news or something and then i looked at it after she left and it had MARTHA MACKENZIE on it so i think marthas dead.I think cause marthas dead jack will leave to,maybe with his dad because martha i think was the only thing keeping him in the bay. I think aden is the one calling rachel with the deep breathing as his dads dying and aden needs like help.I think elliot took rachel and i dont have a clue why the dogs have gone missing. I think that on the map N is for Nicole and R for Roman.and the numbers are where he will place the bombs which explains the internet websites on alfs laptop at the bait shop.hmmmm its a mystery at summer bay cant wait till its back on
Daniel: I'm back again and I think I'm starting to piece together this mystery. It's obvious to me now that the heavy breather on the burger phone at the diner is truly Aden. In Monday's game on Summer Bay online this person call back on Tony's phone at his house and again today and finally managed to say something. Clearly knowing the voice well it really is Aden trying to talk to Rachel about his father. So obviously this means that Aden had nothing to do with Rachel's disappearance. I watched the special one hour episode of Home And Away last night again to see if I missed something and I did. When Rachel was going through the boot of her car it occured to me the way she was acting that someone had gone through her medical pack, which explains why her medical supplies were scatted everyway.
This person would have to be Aden because I do remember that he had some pills with him which he must of got from Rachel's medical pack. As for Rachel's whereabouts I'm beginning to think that Elliot is the one who's kidnapped her. New clues have come in about dogs going missing. Perhaps Elliot is the one who's taken these dogs and probably using them to guard Rachel so she doesn't get away. Then there's all the other clues in the bait shop. First there's that map of an island with N and R on it which I believe stands for Nicole on one side and Roman on the other. Second there's the new map with I to 5 on it. These are probably points of bombs that Elliot has set up at for Roman. Third there's that webside showing how to interrogate someone with force. Perhaps this is what Elliot has instore with Rachel.
And forth in today's game there was an email on Alf's laptop to someone called E reguarding to make a bomb for this E person. Obviously E stands for Elliot and he's to one who wants this bomb and more bombs to place at those points on the numbered map. There was even a clue in the Surf Club Juice Bar of a knowhow book on how to tie someone up using special knots. This must belong to Elliot too which he would need to keep Rachel tried up. Finally, there's that email from Rachel's friend Jess saying she received an frighting email from Jimmy. The email does look like that Jimmy has Rachel but I smell a rat. A rat named Elliot. Perhaps Elliot sent the email to block his tracks and pin it on Jimmy. The plot definately thickens and it all seens to point to Elliot. I'll keep you posted. Bye!
Laura: Jimmy has Rachel... On summer bay online Jimmy sent a email to jess saying that he is taking good care of Rachel, but she can't go anywhere yet because she can hardly walk and sometimes won't eat. What a freak!!!
Coco: I think Melody is the patient that has been prescribed anti depressants from the hospital. E-mail to Geoff from ‘M’ is Melody.
Elliot stole the sleeping pills from the hospital to drug Roman (whether or not Roman really drank the liquid is another story. You would like to think he is far too clever for that). Roman lied to Elliot as to what actually happened to his brother on their last mission. I think it was Roman who made the mistake/cracked up on the last o/seas mission with the SAS and Elliot’s brother found out the truth. Elliot stole the video equipment to make the video to Roman. The map with ‘N’ and ‘R’ is a map of the island with Nicole on one side and Roman on the other. Elliot has something to do with the death of the American snorkeller (how she actually died). Rachel was putting her overnight bag (with clothes) in the car to take with her either to Hugh or for her honeymoon. The medical supplies in Rachel’s boot were to help Hugh and or the person who is with him from South Africa. Jimmy is obsessed with Rachel but he would NEVER NEVER let any harm come to Rachel; he is totally besotted with her and has her on a pedestal.The pills Aden has in has hand in the last episode is Larry’s medication because he asked Rachel what would happen to his father if he didn’t take it. Belle has broken it off with Aden because Aden has lied to her once again; he is harboring Larry as a fugitive from the police, Aden knows Larry stole the money from Belle. Aden has been betrayed by his father cause not only did his father know what his grandfather did to Aden, Larry allowed his father to come into their house after he was also abused; a parent is supposed to look after their children and keep them from harm’s way. Aden is scared he is going to turn out like his father and tells his father to get away from Summer Bay with the money and medication and never ever return. The car that was found like Rachel’s, is the car Larry used (hence the blood) to get away from Summer Bay. The new map with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5? Are they where the explosives are located set by Elliot? The dogs being stolen – are they to track down someone? Maybe Rachel? Or to keep Rachel where she is? I think Elliot has kidnapped Rachel!!!!!!!!The plot thickens!!!!!!!
Laura: I don't think that Rachel has ran away, it's not like her, she wouldn't run away and then not get in contact with anyone. She has either been kidnapped or Tony is in on it and he knows what has happened to her. Summer bay online is trying to make out that it could be Rachel's dead body found and her abanded car but i don't think it is.
Laura: Aden has not kidnapped Rachel!!!!! When rachel was putting her suitcase in the car, her medical box had been opened and pills were everywhere, i think that Aden has broken in and taken it from there, he wouldn't kidnap her. Plus what makes people think that she was running away she could of been putting her honeymoon bag in there getting it ready for when her and Tony went.
Rachael: After playing summer bay online i think the woman who washed up on the beach was the american lady not rachel. Because in Fridays game Julie said about a American man who was submitted into the hospital and was in disstress and was suffering from hyperthermia(Husband and Wife). Elliot was the one who stole the sleeping pills and druged Roman. Rachel didnt go and see Hugh because it would be to obvious and she is happy with Tony the only reason why she ran away was because she was scared and nervous about getting married. After saying that i think Jimmy kidnapped her and that Tony, Jack and Charlie will find her in the outskirts of summer bay thats why her car was burned out so Jimmy would make the police and her friends think that she ran away.
Kiana: I think that Eliot got the sleeping pills off Rachel and then left her for Jimmy. Sooooo that means the two phyco's, Jimmy and Eliot are working together. And please tell me does Nicole die, because she is soooo pretty and she has such a great role to play. Anyone would love to play that role, i know i would. I can't wait until it comes back on.
Tina: My opinion is Rachel was on her way to help Aden's dad, (which is why you see her with the medical bag,) but it showed us in the last episode that Jimmy startled her and has been waiting for her. I think Jimmy drugged Rachel and took her to his motel suite (which the holiday suite guy sed so on Rachels phone) and maybe he either destroyed her car to make it look like an accident, or Rachel tried to escape and he killed her and made it look like she was swimming.....
Pauline: I think Rachel has been kidnapped by Jimmy to keep her away from Tony & stop her from marrying Tony because he is in love with her.
Daniel: It's all very mysterious to me at the moment. But many of the clues clearly state that she's not with Hugh, or Brad, and that she hasn't gone to the Whitsundays. The emails and phone calls from them clearly says it all there. Rachel had no attention right from the start to run off with Hugh. She's been writing in her diary that Hugh and her have become just good friends and nothing more. I also believe that Jimmy has nothing to do with Rachel's disappearance either. It'd be way to simple if that was the case. The clue indicating the receipt that he brought steak knives was only the wedding present that he gave her that night she disappeared. Now summer bay locals are saying and getting worried that this dead body found in the fishing net could be Rachel, but I don't think it is.
It does seem logical that it might be her because of the fact that she indicated in her diary that she was going for a swim and that she left her car to do so. There's been talk of a friendly american couple in the bay. I actually believe that the woman found in the net is the woman of that american couple because there was talk at the hospital that a man who is an american tourist was brought into the hospital recently. Clues have indicated that the dead body was wearing a flipper which I believe is part of the overdue diving equipment hired from Alf's bait shop. The american couple probably were the people who hired the equipment to go diving. I think that it must of been Elliot who ambushed these people to steal there hired diving equipment and boat to carry out his plan with Nicole.
Clearly to me learning from the last special one hour episode of Home And Away that it must of been him who stole the sleeping pills from the hospital. The clues from the hospital did indicate that they were stolen by a man who was wearing a hood and Elliot was wearing a hood in the last episode and used them on Roman. It must of also been Elliot who stole all that video equipment to make that frightening video to Roman holding Nicole hostage. Now Geoff is nowhere to be found because he is with Nicole. Speaking of Geoff, the email to him from someone named M has to be his ex girlfriend Melody Jones. The clues indicate that on the email she wasn't acting quite normal and someone named M Jones was admitted to hospital recently. It must be Medoly.
Finally, as for Rachel's whereabouts, I can't quite say yet. At this stage she could be with Aden who is helping his father recover with all those medical supplies in her car. There was a clue of a phone call on the burger phone at the diner of someone breathing on the phone. Obviously this person was trying to say something but just couldn't get it out. This person could've been Aden trying to leave a message to Belle about what he's doing with his father. Or perhaps maybe it's Rachel herself trying to tell Irene either what she's up to but can't risk telling where her whereabouts is for the shake of Aden and his father who is wanted by the police, if of course she is with them, or if she's not with Aden and his father she just trying to let Irene know where she really is and what she's doing. I'm just not quite sure yet.
Anyway, those are my theories so far. I'll have to keep playing Summer Bay Online to discover more clues and hopefully solve the mystery. It's quite fun playing detective on something like this. I'll keep you posted. Bye!
Paige: I think that it may of been Rachel that is the one who washes up on the beach...
in her last diary entry it says that she going for a swim...it's surely suspicious.....
and does something happen to Nicole on that island because in the previews it looks like she dies....and i don't want that, she has like practically only just got to Summer Bay, it would be sad to see her go so soon..and is Martha going to die?? Its all so exciting...keep up the good work..
Catherine: Belle discovers who is holding Rachel captive. She discovers that aden had called rach to get her help, he couldn't go through with watching his father die which is why we saw rach with medical bag. aden than freaks feeling sorry for his father and cant allow rach to leave as she will tell the police. Aden's devastated when Belle breaks things off. Rachel strikes out as she comes to terms with her situation.
Coco: Now I have read too many ‘spoilers’. If it is indeed the case that Aden has kidnapped Rachel to help with his father, why wouldn’t Aden just turn his father into the police? He’s killed Axle!!!!! He’s let Aden down over and over again!!!! Let the Police take him to hospital with Police guard and let Larry get what’s coming to him!!! Why does Aden allow himself to be dragged down by his father? Walk away and walk towards a better life I say.
Caiti: Whatever has happened to Rachel I think Tony knew exactly what was going on. When you read her diary it says she's glad that she can be friends with Hugh after all the other stuff thats happened with the men in her life. I honestly believe she didn't run off with Hugh but is helping him in some way. Hugh needs help quickly and thats why he wanted to talk to her before the wedding knowing that if he didn't she would be gone for 3 weeks. So Rachel starts to stress out about Hugh not knowing exactly what he wants. Once he calls she understands its not about him confessing his undying love again but dearly needs her help. Maybe its because of something horrible that happened overseas and doesn't want anyone to know. But Rachel being Rachel still tells Tony about it. Therefore they plan her running away the night before. Tony leaves as well...but doesn't tell Jack where he's going because he's actually going to meet Rachel to help Hugh and elope. But before they could meet shes stopped by Jimmy. You see the medical supplies in the back of the car. I suspect they're for Hugh. Jimmy kidnaps her and Tony doesn't find out anything is wrong until she doesn't show up to their meeting place. And he can't exactly raise alarm because their entire plan was a secret in the first place.
Oh and the sleeping pills where obviously stolen by Elliot. Thats what put Romen asleep while he took Nichole out to sea. And when it returns Roman wakes up and finds a map and clues which is supposed to help him save Nichole but is obviously a trap from Elliot.
Aden does kill his dad and is wrapped in guilt that he plans to run away from everything including Belle. He loves her too much to get her involved in whats happened and so he goes completely cold to her just to keep her safe. So thats what I think.
Laura: Ok well i have been on summer bay online and i was on Rachel's computer and there was emails from Brad and Hugh and Rachel is not with them! Also there was a female dead body, Is it Rachel?
Tahlia: Ok, to start of with, as if Aden kidnapped Rachel. Whoever thinks that are just stupid and idiots. Second, no way did Jimmy kidnap her. It's just way to obvious. Knowing Home and Away, the kidnapper will probably be just some random person. Or she wasn't really kidnapped at all, she just ran away cause she had bridal jitters. get real!
Kristen: This is my summary of evidence and theories so far…
Rachel didn’t run off with Hugh (or have any intention of doing so):
· Hugh’s e-mail on Wed 13/08 indicates he had simply made a suggestion about a hotel to use for the honeymoon. Re-reading the previous week’s e-mails with this knowledge, it appears any previous contact was also to do with this, not resume a relationship with Rachel. Rachel’s diary strongly suggests she was happy to hear from Hugh but had no intention of recommencing a relationship with him- “I’m glad we can be friends”.
Rachel hasn’t gone to Tasmania to visit Brad and Tam (and wasn’t going to do so alone):
· The e-mail response from the travel agency about one way ticket prices to Melbourne was for an alternative honeymoon trip she was planning after hearing the Brad and Tam could not make it to the wedding. Tony and her would go to Melbourne and then travel to Tasmania from there, surprising Brad and Tam, and then coming back at their leisure therefore only a one way ticket is needed. Brad’s e-mail is the only one she replied to before going missing. In this reply she suggests he may see her sooner than he thinks. Adding further weight for this surprise honeymoon visit was the Tasmanian holiday brochures.
· Brad also sent an e-mail after finding out she had not turned up for the wedding asking how she was, as such, she couldn’t be visiting him alone.
Rachel didn’t just run away:
- When Rachel went out to the car with the bag the lights were still on in the house and Leah said the door had been left open. To me, this means she wasn’t intending to leave there and then. She has somehow been taken captive, perhaps on the way to have that swim she was referring to in the diary entry from Wed 13/08.
- When heading out to the car she looks over to Jack & Martha’s house smiling, thinking of Tony (as he was staying there after the buck’s night). This represents the fact she was excited to be marrying him, alas, any last minute doubts were gone.
- Her diary entries and e-mail to Brad point more towards the normal wedding jitters rather than significant doubts about Tony e.g. “was she doing the right thing?”, “nervous the second time around”, “frightened” not revealing a desire to run away from it all.
E-mails from ‘J’ and Jimmy:
- More than likely all of these are from Rachel’s school friend Jess not Jimmy. Also, Jess is the mystery female voice that was heard earlier in the week. I think Jess will be a new character introduced to H & A when it resumes. Again, Jess doesn’t have any knowledge of Rachel’s whereabouts as shown with last night’s e-mail explaining she missed the wedding due to her parents illness and was upset Rachel hadn’t contacted her.
- Jimmy booking into the same hotel as Rachel and Tony suggests he was going to let them get married but pay them a ‘surprise’ visit on the honeymoon. Thus, Jimmy had no reason to kidnap Rachel beforehand.
- Jimmy’s whereabouts are now unknown as Nathan from the Whitsundays indicated he hadn’t turned up there either. Perhaps having decided he couldn’t wait to have Rachel?
- Realistically, I think Jimmy holds the key to more information about Rachel’s disappearance although he is not directly involved i.e. he has seen something else but not thought it significant to mention to Jack or Tony. The steak knives (receipt in the Pier Diner) were his wedding present not a murder weapon!
My theory:
- I think Rachel’s disappearance has something to do with the medication bottles she was looking at in the car boot when Jimmy disturbed her. I’m not sure if Rachel thought medication was missing and therefore the person who has taken it without her knowledge, also took her captive. Alternatively, Rachel was treating a patient outside of the hospital authority knowledge (for reasons undetermined at this stage), hence the hidden medication in the car boot, and this has backfired on her in some way. In her last conversation with Tony on the beach she alluded to the fact she had concerns about leaving patients perhaps in particular this special one who no one else could treat!
Donna: My theory is jimmy is the shifty bloke who was at the hospital demanding sleeping pills, he has drugged her with sleeping pills and taken her to an unknown destination, as he is madly in love with her and there's no way he was going to let tony and rachel marry, but i reckon tony will find her and save the day well heres hoping.
Anneka: In the last episode that was aired it shows Adens dad begging him to take him to the hospital. I have a feeling Aden abducted Rachel to look after his Dad. There's no way Aden is going to let his dad die. I'm not sure where the rest of it fits in though lol. Jimmy might have been a block like a deploy to stop people thinking about other suspicious things/people happening in the Bay. My other theory is that Elliot has kidnapped her and made her get sleeping pills for him. Maybe he threatened Rachel and told her Nicole and Roman would die if she didn't do it.
Jenny: I think Rachel was kidnapped by Aden as he went back on his plan to kill his father and had no one to turn to so he lost it (which is what Aden does) and forced Rachel to
come to his house and would not let her leave until his father was better and on his feet again. I do not think Rachel ran off with Hugh or got kidnapped by Jimmy as they are
too likely. Well that's my guess anyway.
Coco: As Rachel was putting her suitcase in the car, there were medical supplies spilt in the boot. Were they from her everyday medical kit or were they to take to Hugh who has arrived back from Africa with maybe a partner who is sick and maybe illegally in the country? The sleeping pills stolen from the hospital were stolen by Aden to use on his father; last episode Aden had a small bottle of pills in his hand as he looked at his father on the lounge. The brochure for Tasmania was Rachel and Tony to have their honeymoon there so Rachel can see her family. Jimmy knows where Rachel is but he hasn’t kidnapped her. I believe Tony and Rachel will be okay……
Brooke: I think that Elliot kidnapped Rachel. After yesterdays Summer Bay Online where the sleeping pills were stolen from the hospital I think Rachel may have taken them to try and get a good nights rest before the wedding to help switch her mind off work etc and this is what she was seen picking up when Jimmy approached her as she was leaning over the boot. After Jimmy left I think Elliot who had been watching her and knew she had the sleeping pills approached her to get the pills and when she wouldn't give them to him he kidnapped her to get hold of them.
Steph: It's Jimmy because he was the last one to see her but also Hugh could of taken her because in the email it said love you and some how he could of found out about the wedding and that she’s the bride and he love’s her so there’s a huge clue for you but I want to know NOW!!!!!
Jennie: I think jimmy has kidnapped her!! I think he won't let her go until she agrees to stay with him and says she loves him.
Laura: I found it weird when at Rachel's hen night she left early and she said to everyone that she will see them soon, not meaning the next day at her wedding. I don't think that she has been kidnapped by Jimmy (that would be too obvious). I'm not quite sure yet what is happening but i think that Tony is in on it.
Danielle: I think Jimmy has taken Rachel and put her in a secret place where no one knows.
i think Tony will find her on his way away. i think Jimmy will be caught for kidnapping and go to jail. But you never know what might happen in Summer Bay?
Megan: I think Jimmy kidnapped Rachel because if she went to see Hugh she might not tell Tony but she would confide in Leah and tell her!
Tracy: I reckon Jimmy's locked her up somewhere and isn't telling anyone about where rachel is?
Kristen: I think she has run off with Hugh and that's why she has been very confused lately.
liloudjen: My therory is that since brad and tam could not get to the wedding, she went to see them in tasmania and i partially agree with anitas theory but also not completely, as the man from whitsunday resort asked can you give us a call to confirm you are still coming.
Mattia: (12) QLD - I think Rachel went to see Hugh but i don't understand why she would leave tony the night before the wedding.
Vanessa: Rachel has been kidnapped by Jimmy. Rachel disappearing without contacting Tony (or at least Leah) is way out of character. Jimmy know's where she lives, where she works and my theory is that he's set-up the whole Hugh email/running away theory to keep everyone off track. How does Jimmy know about Hugh??? My theory is that as a result of spending so much time at the hospital, Jimmy overhears a conversation between Rachel and the nurses/other doctors who were mutual friends of Hugh. What could happen next? Jimmy gets caught out (saying something stupid); or
Rachel actually receives an email from "the real" Hugh. In his email, he writes about his time in Africa.
India: I have three theory's:
1: Rachel has taken off with Hugh to go see him.
2: She has left for Tasmania to be with Brad and Tam
3: Jimmy has had something to do with her going missing
Michelle: I think the whole wedding thing got to much for her and she is confused about her feelings for both Tony and Hugh, that she has gone to Tasmania to spend some time with her brother and gather her thoughts!
Hazzy: My theory about Rachel's dissaperance is either: Jimmy faked the mail and the video from Hugh, so when Rachel goes to meet Hugh secretly, its actually Jimmy she meets and he kidnapps her.
OR: Jimmy and Hugh are in it together!
But whatever it is I don't think Rachel would have run off and not told anyone where she was going!
Amanda-renee: My theory on rach is she just needed time out with the rushed wedding, physco patients ( jimmy) and hugh emailing her out of the blue she is confused and worn out, and with tamsyn and martha being sick and brad unable to get to the wedding she just feels that it isn't gonna be a wedding day she will remember or even want to remember. she hops in her car with her overnight bag that leah gave her and heads to the honeymoon suite to get away and contemplate what she wants but on her way she gets a flat tyre she tries to change it but the wheelnuts are so tight and rusted that they don't budge an inch. she tries to call for help but due to the dense scrubland she has no service on her mobile phone then due to constant trying to call the phone goes dead. stranded in the middle of nowhere she decides to sit and wait for someone to come look for her. basically rach is fine and the story has just been hyped up as nothing ever goes smoothly in summer bay least of all a wedding between 2 well liked characters.
Lauren: Ok here is my 2 theories:-
1. I believe that that rachel has done a runner and gone off with hugh.
All the clues link to it. There's the video, the emails and the pictures.
Obviously hugh is still in madly in love with rachel otherwise he wouldn't be emailing her after all this time.
2. It is also a possibility that she has gone over to tasmania to see brad and Tam She was looking at brochures about the resort in Tassie. So she could just be there.
White Husky: I think Jimmy kidnapped her. But video and mail from Hugh?? Don't know what to say. In Summer Bay everything can happen.
Larabelle: K...I think Rachel has been kidnappd by Jimmy but Tony won't give up on looking for her even though it looks like she's done a runna with Hugh.
Barbara: I think that that guy Jimmy has kidnapped Rachel. Rachel would not have left and not told anyone.
Anita: My theory of which I have a few, (but this is the one I am sticking to at the moment); is mainly based on the episodes leading up to the OC and the clues in last nights SBO from Tony and Rachel's house. I think that Rachel loves Tony and wants to marry him but was very stressed out. After she left the Hen's night and started to relax she rang Tony and told him how she was feeling and that she wanted to elope. She wants to get married but because she was so stressed out and her family couldn't be at the wedding, she wanted to go away on their honeymoon and get married in the Whitsunday's.(That's where the clues form last night SBO comes in.)
I think Tony was in on it all and had to make out that she had left him for Hugh but Tony and Rachel have a very open and honest relationship and as everyone kept saying in the OC it is so out of character for Rachel. I think they will return happily married and everyone will be very surprised and happy.
Some of the reasons for my theory are:
- The honeymoon will be 3 weeks long which coincides with when the competitions ends
- Everyone keeps saying how unlike Rachel it was to leave Tony and she had a go at Sally last year
- She loves Tony and has shown that a number of times like when he possibly couldn't have children and then when he got the all clear last week
- Surely Rachel couldn't have another stalker/kidnapping after the one with Rev Hall
- When She said to Colleen at the Hen's night that she would see everyone soon, too much of a coincidence
- I have to believe they are going to stay together because they are my favourite couple and there are no happy older couples in the Bay at the moment.
