Hello Everyone,
The weather is finally really heating up, and so is Summer Bay! Wow, there’s been a kidnapping this past week, torn emotions between multiple couples, tension left and right, and just too much to keep up with. Now that exams are over I have less administrative duties to fulfill, it’s nice to have a chat at the Diner a few times a week just to catch up on the Bay goss.
Some of the biggest stories from this week are buzzing between everyone, but most are just rumours. I know for sure that Mattie and Ric are slowly being driven apart by Viv. He’s being vague about the details, doesn't want to tell me much. I’ve heard through the grapevine that he might be cheating on her. Once I heard that, I didn’t accuse him of it or pry but just advised him to think about what he’s doing. Viv is a married woman, not just another high school girl. That is a big can of worms Ric’s starting to open up…
Everyone in the Bay is so proud of Geoff for playing such a great rugby game. Looks like he’s going to move to the city soon to further his sporting career. I couldn’t help but notice Annie looking really down about his decision to move. It must be so hard on the poor girl, Bruce dying, then Geoff moving off.
Annie really needs a good friend right now, and it seems like Rory does too. Lately he’s been so excited about Jack waking up from the coma and plans getting back on track for the wedding. His bubble completely burst when he walked in on Martha doubting Jack was ready to marry Sam. Rory could use a friend right now, there's too much adult drama going on around him.
<>Brad’s made it official that he doesn’t plan on revisiting Summer Bay High. Reality is coming closer and closer to him being out of my life. How scary…
While I’m scared of the notion of Brad leaving my life, Leah must be absolutely petrified of leaving Summer Bay for the States. She’s in between a rock and a hard place right now, either Dan missing out on his opportunity of a lifetime or her missing the life she loves in Summer Bay. Colleen said something that made her change her mind, I don't think that was Colleen's intention as she doesn't want Leah to leave at all. But whatever she said made Leah see that sometimes for love sacrifices need to be made so she decided to give it a go for Dan's sake. She still seems apprehensive about it. As of now they’re on track to go, but those plans seem far from being set in stone.
Sam is trying desperately to get Jack down that aisle and Jack just looks like a little lost puppy to me. She seems so intent on organizing everything that she isn’t really considering Jack’s feelings, especially after the coma he’s been in. I can’t help but be reminded about my situation with Brad. Hopefully that won't happen to them!
I think the biggest gossip this week also has the biggest cloud of confusion and rumours around it. When Drew and Belle set off together on their road trip, it was all clear skies ahead. Then Drew came back without Belle, saying she was lost or abducted, clearly distraught over what had happened out there on the road. He was beside himself, however he managed to locate where she was. There is a lot of secrecy around what really happened. It all seems so strange. He suddenly found her after a big confrontation with Dom’s uncle…yet Drew and Belle deny Dom’s involvement. Why would Drew fight with Dom’s uncle? The truth of what really happened will come out, eventually.
I’m pretty thirsty now, time to go to the Diner for a tea. It sounds like a pretty good excuse to catch up on the latest rumours in the Bay. Gosh, they circulate so quickly!
Stay safe and goodnight.
Love, Sally.
