49. Like a freight train

Vita Nova strike again, in the form of Jordan the wards-man. Poor Justin, another near miss for him. Suffocation would have been a bad way to go. This week the ladies also (virtually) discuss Alf’s celebration, Flick’s hesitation, Irene’s trepidation and Lyric’s complication. Tweet/X us @unofficialbttb

We're on a theme of growth this week in The Bay. Irene tells Roo to grow up. Mali needs to grow up and confront his Promise Wife. Theo faces a dying Justin and is forced to grow up and Tane needs to grow up to the reality of women's fertility. Catch us on Twitter (we need to grow up and start calling it X) @unofficialbttb

It's the first episode of 2024 and the girls are feeling positive, but testing negative. Fake Covid has struck resulting in a BTTB first - a socially distanced episode. Be warned, it's not without it's hitches... Recorded on Nollaig na mBan (Women's Christmas), the girls discuss the women of action and the men of, well, inaction in The Bay. Leah, with the hair of a goddess, saves the day; Lyric ruin our day and Irene has a very bad day.

It's a season finale in The Bay, not that Maria and Fáinche knew! Whoops! Anyway, the girls wring a lot out of that one episode leading Maria to dive down a rabbit-hole of Justin's other brushes with disaster. Fáinche brings us another #cringeorbinge with a left of centre mention of sports. Like, share and rate #homeandaway

Well, did we think we'd see The Cult back again! This week the ladies discuss the highs of the week including Leah and Justin's competition win and the promise wife, and lows of week with Roo and Maz's relationship circling the drain. A new segment Cringe or Binge is introduced and the usual Away From The Bay makes a return.

The girls are delighted to be back with Season 3. It was a long break between seasons and a lot went down in The Bay in that time but Fáinche and Maria breeze through the highs and lows of storylines since they were off air. The current storylines get the usual in-depth analysis, while a sad In Memoriam is also discussed. #homeandaway #backtothebaypod

Bad News: It's the Season Finale. Good News: Fáinche's Back! And just in time to watch Justin go up against the Australian Judicial System with David The Lawyer by his side. There's more trouble in The Bay in the form of sad Mack, Maz's Pyramid Scheme/ Stunning Organics order and Mali giving Rose grief over, eh, well, it's complicated. Away From The Bay were talking Auld Dads and the truth about Una Healy's Throuple. You heard it here first! See you in September #homeandaway

It's our 50th episode and Maria struggles to find words to rhyme with 'golden'. With Fáinche still away Orla's back and getting caught up in the little details. Meanwhile in The Bay, we had a wedding, an attack, a near proposal and date with lawyer David. The ladies also voice concerns for Marilyn's new business venture 'Stunning Organics', with a name like that what can go wrong... Like, Share, Review and Tweet

We're on location! This week's episode is brought to you by Maria, Orla and Anna (because it takes two women to replace Fáinche) in the lovely Tipperary. There's a week of Ava to analyse and what feels like a week of Flick to discuss also. Away from The Bay Maria talks gold and silver tickets for a meet and greet, Orla tells us about blinking to destress.

There were a lot of goodbyes in The Bay this week. Dean and Ziggy left, Gabe ran out on Mac, and Leah left Justin to deal with his stalker daughter alone! Needless to say, the ladies have a lot to say about all of this. There's also a surprise quiz this week and some controversy Away From The Bay. Like, share, follow and tweet #backtothebaypod
