How much have you missed Sarah?
Quick run down:
belle was dating drew
drew fancied amanda
amanda had a fling with drew
amanda felt guilty and told belle
belle now hates her mother and is living with irene
belle got together with lucas
amanda is currently going through some sort of nervous breakdown by the looks of it. she keeps crying to macca and getting drunk and saying she's a terrible person and she hates herself.
emily died
brad and sally secretly have the hots for each other
cassie got together with macca behind ric's back
ric found out and was gutted
ric and matilda are now together
drew was being stalked and attacked all the time by some mysterious assailants
drew got kidnapped
turns out he got kidnapped by peter
yes peter is not dead - he was in a witness protection programme, and they made everybody think he was dead, because some evil dude was out to kill him.
this evil dude found out that peter was still alive, so he went after drew in order to get to peter.
anyway, there was a struggle between peter and this evil guy, and a gun went off. turned out the evil guy got killed.
so peter is now back in the bay, alive and kicking, and living with dan, leah, and drew.
tasha had baby ella and had pnd for a while
mumma rose escaped from jail and kidnapped ella because she is the "chosen one".
tasha had a fight with mumma rose to get ella back, and pushed mumma rose out of the window (she didn't let her go though, the cops hauled her back in through the window).
mumma rose was arrested and taken away for good.
robbie had his trial for turning off graham's life support machine
he was found guilty, but the judge agreed that he only did it because he cared about his grandad, so he got let off which just a pretty small fine to pay.
thus, robbie, tasha, and ella left to live in the states with josie.
a new boy, rocco, started at summer bay high
he has a bad reputation as being in a gang, but sally thought he was a good kid anyway
rocco's older brother showed up with all his old gang members and persuaded him to rejoin the gang (his brother basically forced him to).
they are currently causing loads of trouble in the bay.
jack was seriously injured during the whole peter case (he figured out what was going on, so some of the evil dude's henchmen basically beat him up and left him for dead).
he had to have an urgent blood transfusion, which martha had to do, because she is the same blood type as him.
he is still in hospital. his spine has been severely damaged. there is a chance he may never walk again, but he will be starting physio soon to see if he can regain leg control.
jack's best friend ash (who is also a cop) got a transfer to the bay.
he bumped into martha at the diner - he didn't know she was jack's wife though, and she didn't know that he was jack's best mate.
they ended up sleeping together.
then they realised what they'd done, so they told jack.
jack went off the deep end, but he did calm down eventually.
he had been wanting martha to give their marriage another go, but now he realises that they are never going to get back to the way things are.
martha told him she loves him but not in a romantic way any more.
phew I think that's it - I can't think of anything else that's been going on lately.
