Hello All,
Well, first of all, I have some fantastic news. The charges against Kim have been dropped and he’s returned to the bay – as co-manager of the gym with Tony, no less! Rachel must be so happy.
Morag made a major breakthrough when she managed to get in touch with Tara’s mum, but really, it was Tara’s own antics that revealed her as the liar she is. A sad story, really…
It turns out that Tara has been trying to get her Dad’s attention for years by resorting to ever-increasing bad behaviour. From many unreported acts of shoplifting (hushed up by her Dad) to lying about Kim assaulting her, to even claiming her mother had abused her, Tara was finally caught out when she pretended she’d been attacked by Lucas.
He’d discovered the missing hospital tests in her bag and threatened to tell the police, so she scratched herself and screamed until Alf came in and found them together in the deserted gym. But when she was told that her Mum had been talking to Morag and that the new DNA tests would show the skin under her fingernails was her own, Tara realised the game was up and ran off from the hospital.
I heard later that Rachel found her the next day up on the headland. Very upset, she confessed to everything and allowed Rachel to lead her away from the edge…
Poor old Brad seems to be on an edge right now as well. As happy as I am about Kim, it’s just so sad to know that Emily doesn’t have long to live. Brad organised a surprise for her during the week, taking her out by boat to a secluded inlet. Apparently they were enjoying a lovely picnic when Emily suddenly fell unconscious.
Brad managed to get her back in the boat, and with the help of Cassie and Macca, got her to the hospital. That’s where we got the news: she only has days left.
I feel a little bad that amidst all that sadness, I couldn’t help but wonder what Macca and Cassie were doing together on the beach. Ric came back briefly this week and it’s my understanding Cassie didn’t say anything to him about Macca, but then a little birdy told me that Cassie can’t deny her feelings for Macca anymore.
She’s a good girl, Cassie, but if she’s decided Macca is the one for her, then she’s got to tell Ric quickly or she’s going to hurt him. For all the bad things Macca has done, I know he doesn’t want to hurt Ric either. They’re going to have to stop kissing in public or a little birdy might tell Ric as well. Maybe Macca moving in with Irene will buy Cassie enough time to tell Ric…
Another rumour going round town is that Amanda is having something of a ‘Mrs Robinson’ effect on Drew. Apparently, he can’t keep his eyes off his girlfriend’s mother. That kind of infatuation can only end in tears. I hope Drew does the right thing because I’m not sure Amanda can.
Anyway, Drew’s got enough on his plate what with The Pyro trying to frame him for arson and who knows what else. I hear that Jack thought it might have been Dave the fireman who’s been lighting all the fires, but then Peter Baker’s DNA showed up on a canister left at the last fire. How can that be? Peter died in the fire at Jack and Martha’s wedding.
I hope those two are going OK. Someone mentioned that Martha’s been a bit upset about Jack’s long working hours and his ‘single-man’ habits. Those two help everyone else so much, I just hope they can help each other. I mean, it was those two that got a very upset Tasha from the beach back home to Ella. But when they got there…
Ella was missing! A few moments of panic followed before they found out Charity had found the abandoned Ella with a fever and taken her to the hospital. When they got there, Robbie was not as upset with Tasha as she was with herself. He’s an understanding man that one, especially considering he has an impending court case. He forgave Tasha for running away from Ella and with his support, Tasha is trying even harder to connect with her baby. She was very grateful to Charity and has asked her for her help.
Well, that’s all for this week. Oh, one last thing, it seems Lucas and Mattie are at odds over Dean. Lucas told Mattie that the boy Dean's been hanging out with isn’t his brother – Drew went to boarding school with Dean and says he is an only child. Apparently, Mattie got very upset with Lucas and believes Dean. Poor Mattie, she’s about to have surgery and she’s got two boys fighting over her!
Oh well, gotta run! Talk to you next week.
Love Sally.
