Back to The Bay

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

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.
