Hello everyone!!
What a crazy week in Summer Bay! I feel like I’ve only recently been able get a good night’s sleep – why? Because (drumroll please) our loved ones in the bush were found! I know, it’s unbelievable isn’t it? And at the eleventh hour to boot! The story goes that we had decided to officially call the search off: Amanda’s money had run out (bless her) and even with the pooled resources from Beth, Macca and the others, it simply wasn’t enough. Then the most peculiar event occurred. Amanda was suddenly struck by an awful pain in her leg. She became convinced she could feel a pain Belle was feeling, which meant she was still alive! The next day Amanda, Tony, Cassie, Ric and Macca set out, Amanda’s resolve fuelling the determination of the group. Suddenly they heard a faint yell for help – it was Robbie! Running towards the sound they found Martha, Belle, Colin and Robbie, who told them where to find Kim and Kit! They were all still alive – but only barely! They were all severely dehydrated and exhausted, while Martha had just stopped breathing and Belle had suffered a poisonous spider bite! But now, thank God, they’re back, safe and sound. But the dramas don’t stop there!
The claws are out: Amanda and Irene are fighting over Belle! Amanda wants Belle no matter what it takes and God knows that woman has a way of getting what she wants! An angry-looking Irene told me Amanda is “stooping to new lows” in order to win Belle over. I’ve seen Belle having heated discussions with Ric on the beach – just between you and me, I have my suspicions Belle and Amanda’s plotting has to do with Ric and Cassie. Perhaps I’m just being paranoid – I hope! Irene is also convinced that Macca and Amanda are somehow ‘involved’, which Amanda denies: something about getting her bracelet stuck in the pool filter and Macca helping her out? Who knows what’s really going on there, suffice to say, if Amanda’s involved, you can bet things will be kept interesting!
In a shocking turn of events, it was revealed this week that Lee wasn’t pregnant to Lucas at all! He was just covering for her – the real father was Steve Braeburn! Yes, the science teacher at Summer Bay High! I was absolutely outraged of course – we won’t be seeing hide nor hair of Steve in these parts much longer. I couldn’t believe that Lucas was taking the rap for Lee – he’s such a sweet boy but he really must be more careful that people don’t take advantage of his kind nature. Hopefully this will help Mattie and Lucas back on track – they don’t seem to be a couple yet, but here’s hoping. Cassie seems worried about it too – I asked her about Matilda just before and she seemed slightly evasive. I didn’t push it – I trust Cassie will come to me if she needs me.
Peter's son Drew came back to the Bay for the reading of the will. He stands to inherit $20,000 when he turns 18, which is six months away. I believe he’s staying with Dan and Leah till then. However no sooner had they turned their backs than he took off with Peter’s car! Returning home on foot he claimed to have run out of petrol, but when they went to find it, it’d been torched! They were naturally suspicious, which Drew took very badly, swearing till he was blue in the face it wasn’t him. When the police got involved Drew was furious, stating he hated Peter and he hated Dan! I knew he’d be a handful for those two!
Beth mentioned to me that Kim and Kit’s relationship seems strained since they returned from the bush. Hmmm… I wonder what happened out there? I mean, I think Kim is a great guy but who knows how nearly dying would cause people to act…
Is it just me, or is something strange going on with Jack and Tasha? One would think they’d both be over the moon given their respective partners have been bought home to them, and they are but – I don’t know, something seems unresolved there.
Mr Stewart is still over in New York, but Morag spoke to him just before and of course he’s ecstatic that Martha’s OK.
To end on a light note (and I am very thankful I am able to do this after the past few weeks), I had a very funny encounter this week with Rachel's brother Brad, who I mentioned last week. I had popped in to see Rach, only to find Brad had locked himself out of the house – absolutely naked! Don’t worry, it wasn’t too bad – he had found some wood and garden clippings to cover anything, ahem, too revealing but believe you me I had a great laugh with Rachel and the girls about it later!
See you next week,
Sal.
