Weddings are often said to bring out the best in people and get them thinking about their own desires and futures, and that’s exactly what’s happened to Forrester Creations security guard Charlie Webber. Having spent months holed up in the Forrester mansion kitchen baking and preparing canapés and wedding cakes for the likes of Hope and Liam, and Katie and Thorne, the doughboy’s in the mood to take his romance with Pam next level. For years, the mature-aged lovers have delighted in sharing each other’s company in and out of the Forrester Creations offices, attending medieval-themed costume parties on their knights and days off, and indulging in the latest scuttlebutt doing the rounds of the fashion corridors at work. However, Pam (Alley Mills) and Charlie’s (Dick Christie) true shared passion…

John’s little ‘BEAUTY’ isn’t his!

In October 2014, EJ (James Scott) had a heated confrontation with Clyde Weston (James Read) over control of Salem’s drug dealing. During the standoff, EJ’s traitorous bodyguard “fatally” gunned him down! Soon after, in the morgue, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) had Kristen (Eileen Davidson) inject an unidentified revival substance into his son, cryptically telling her that “time is of the essence”. His exact reasons for doing it remain unknown… until now, perhaps? A year later, Sami received a letter, dated 12 months previously, from EJ, blaming his death on Stefano. However, he’d written things that were so private between him and Sami that she instantly believed he was really alive! Cut to November 2017 and as Kristen surreptitiously reappeared at Susan’s cabin in Memphis where she’d nursed an amnesiac Will (Chandler…

Romping in secret with the much younger Leo has certainly been rewarding for sensitive, conservative Terese! She’s thrown caution to the wind and embraced their passionate lovemaking, just as long as her sexu secret stays behind closed doors! She’s even allowing herself to fall in love with him, even though his father Paul is going to extreme, even childish, lengths to break them up. Paul’s (Stefan Dennis) latest ludicrous efforts to split them up only add to Terese’s (Rebekah Elmaloglou) self-conscious fear about being seen in public with Leo (Tim Kano), and he celebrates when she plays into his hands, ensuring the pair’s break-up is all but signed and sealed. After opening up to Leo in a vulnerable moment, Terese finds the courage to strike back against his father’s judging…

Martin Carver (Tom Wren) The well-educated, well-travelled, well-read and handsome chap is still adjusting as the new editor of the Courier newspaper. He doesn’t want to be in Ballarat but his connection with the Victorian town is more complex than he’s willing to reveal. He has deep-rooted secrets at the town’s very core and never truly trusts anyone. Amy Parks (Emma Annand) The younger sister of Ballarat’s well-known Sergeant Danny Parks is his polar opposite! Troublemaker Amy was expelled from school at 15 and focused firmly on the present! Having a good time is her sole purpose in life and if that includes smoking, drinking or selling drugs, then so be it! Maybe Jean’s job offer will put her on the straight and narrow? Perhaps not……

There’s an elephant in Gary and Amy’s bedroom but he isn’t, erm, up to the task of dealing with it, leaving her fretting over their chances of getting their act together in the bedroom. Plodding Gazza is stumped: the female “monotreme” is usually pleased with his performance, but not this one. Perhaps he needs a signature position to get Amy in the mood?

Hope and Liam’s wedding – how beautiful was it? Episode of the year, apart from Brooke and Taylor’s childish actions. It was very moving; hopefully they will have a beautiful baby boy and stay together. Steffy needs to move on and hopefully a new man more suited to her will be written in. It’s so bad to watch Taylor now. She was my favourite years ago, but she’s so disturbed now. It’s not good viewing: the actress has spoiled her looks. Diana Ross, St Andrews, NSW…

HERE COMES NIKKI!

Sharon’s husband Phil is in Spain, unaware of his wife’s betrayal. Over the past few weeks, several close calls have almost resulted in the affair being revealed, rattling the illicit lovers no end.

Cleansing or detoxing essentially refers to the filtering and removal of toxic compounds from the body. Although our bodies detoxify naturally each and every day, in today’s modern world we are constantly exposed to toxins which can cause our bodies to become overloaded and unable to sufficiently detoxify. The environmental toxins we are exposed to include plastic residues, solvents, cleaning products, beauty products, engine fumes and air pollution. In addition, the typical Western diet is largely made up of processed foods and refined carbohydrates that can hugely congest our systems. I’m sure you try to eat well most of the time, but even basic healthy foods can be nutrient depleted and contain pesticide residues. Under these circumstances, our body’s detoxification ability is hindered and unable to efficiently cleanse the tissues…

“When Katie stays firm, Bill confides his heartache to a sympathetic Brooke...” Now that the custody battle is done and dusted and Judge McMullen has decreed that Katie be awarded sole custody of Will, she’s doing her best to settle her confused son. Naturally, he’ll have a radically changed relationship with his father. And so far, Will’s struggling with the idea of not seeing him, feeling sorry for him because he only has visitation rights.

For many endlessly exhausting months, Ashley has watched her half-brother Billy gradually break down the Abbott family’s cherished cosmetics company, piece by piece, with a series of reckless decisions, before finally stealing $500,000 from the business to pay off his gambling debts! Nothing Ashley and her family did, not even staging an intervention, could persuade Billy to seek treatment for his addiction, forcing her to play dirty to oust him as CEO! After calling the board for a vote of no-confidence in Billy (Jason Thompson), Ashley (Eileen Davidson) had Traci (Beth Maitland) temporarily installed as company head while she plotted her next move. Once those plans were in place, Ashley successfully revoked the Blood Abbott Clause in Jabot’s constitution that had previously blocked her and Jack (Peter Bergman), as non-biological…

Closing the book on her tainted relationship with Cassius now he’s heading to prison for the litany of crimes he’s committed – including framing her ex-boyfriend and his half-brother Tyler for the murder of their father Hamish – is easier said than done for Piper. The resurfacing of his lost medallion with its telltale inscription of “Cassius Grady Roche 18/10/96” is a sinister reminder of everything he’s done. Choosing to see the pendant’s reappearance as cathartic rather than unhelpful, Piper (Mavournee Hazel) visits Cassius (Joe Davidson) in hospital, steadfastly refusing his apologies, and instead telling him that while she loves him she’ll never forgive him for what he’s done to her and the people she loves and cares about. All she wants is to put him behind her... but that…

Shortly after receiving the terrible news of her diagnosis, Sinead returns to the Street, overcome with tears until Daniel’s father Ken finds her. Shaking, confused and emotionally wrought, Sinead tells Ken the whole…

This wedding between Thorne and Katie is too rushed, and not for the right reasons. I hate to say it but I can’t see it lasting. Only getting married so Katie can get full custody of her son Will from Bill is not right. I know that Thorne is a lovely guy, much better than Bill, but sooner or later she’ll realise that they’re not compatible and will end up breaking each other’s hearts; and let’s hope Will doesn’t get too attached to his new step dad. It’s very sad and way too rushed. M.
