[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 200255, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 229-232[/SIZE][/U] [I](...continued)[/I] I’ve always loved a bit of mystery, and this twist on the familiar soap “who’s the daddy” scenario is a great fit here. Centring it around a mysterious mother is even more difficult to pull off, but any potential shortcoming with the mystery itself is dispelled by the opportunity to see “historical” characters such as Martha. As well as young Celia’s legendary beau, Les: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/hNLcpq.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/WkpX6M.jpg[/IMG] In line with the shop’s new trendy image and her “Grooverburgers”, present day Celia has begun wearing the same dress as her young self. Or perhaps it’s wearing her. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/lho29L.jpg[/IMG] As Celia talks to Frank and Bobby, she remembers there was another conspicuous absence from Celia’s engagement party - someone with the initial “B”. And so we are led into an enjoyably soapy fake-out as Bobby pays a welcome visit to a departed character now living in the city: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/yhZwI2.jpg[/IMG] I enjoyed that even the interiors of Barbara’s place were clearly filmed in a real house, and it was full of warm, natural light. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/ShEyeP.jpg[/IMG] Whether intentional or not, this strongly suggests truth. And so there’s no question that Barbara’s reaction is for real: She may not be [I][U]the[/U][/I] B., but it's wonderful to see Barbara again. And the chemistry is still as good as ever between her and Bobby. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/lInfBT.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/NGxrcU.jpg[/IMG] Smart cookie that she is, Barbara is quick off the mark in solving the mystery for herself: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/8HSEXw.jpg[/IMG] So we’ve ruled out a few people who may have been in the running for Bobby’s mother. But there’s still a long road ahead. We haven’t even thought about Bobby’s father yet, for goodness’ sake. Bobby’s obsession gave us one of those classic, sweet earth mother Pippa scenes (with a dash of cissexism thrown in): But things don’t stay settled in Summer Bay House for long. [/QUOTE]
