[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 199605, member: 23"] [SIZE=6][U]Episodes 216-221[/U] [/SIZE][I](...continued)[/I] The end of year social at Summer Bay High brings a touch of glamour and a dash of nostalgia as its most memorable era comes to a close. There’s also a touch of horror for Alf and Ailsa when Roo’s date arrives to pick her up: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/aA6fM7.jpg[/IMG] After Roo and Martin leave, we’re treated to an absolute gem of understated visual comedy. The Stewarts may be rendered shocked and speechless, but they’re still very much in sync. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/Smfb2U.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/6QemvT.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/FdJR3g.jpg[/IMG] This evening sees a new, arguably improved Martin as some effort is made to flesh him out beyond one half of joke that’s long since worn thin: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/C3iYvP.jpg[/IMG] Martin also proves the perfect gentleman with Roo. It’s a welcome attempt at showing a different side to Martin, albeit less successful than Jeff’s recent journey. Lance and Martin are everything that’s wrong with [I]Home And Away[/I], as proven by their recent ongoing attempt to release a charity single called [I]Santa Never Stops In Summer Bay[/I], which one can’t help feeling was more fun to write and film than it was to watch. I certainly hope it was. Recovering from their shock, Alf feels nostalgic and digs out his 1958 Summer Bay High Yearbook to show Ailsa, giving us further oral history: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/lSkViG.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/Dw6ciW.jpg[/IMG] It’s a warm scene as is, and full of heart. Even better, it segues into broaching the subject of yet another departed character who has had an impact on their lives recently: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/fhRFzy.jpg[/IMG] And just like that, the ghost of Graham is packed away. A loose end that’s slightly less loose than beforehand. But still unfinished enough to cast an unspoken shadow on the marriage. I hope. [RIGHT][I]continued...[/I][/RIGHT] [/QUOTE]
