00:01Hey, what's all this about anyway?
00:03Happy birthday!
00:05Surprise!
00:12You know we belong together
00:17You and I forever and ever
00:21No matter where you are
00:25You're my guiding star
00:28You're my guiding star
00:30Hold me in your arms
00:32Don't let me go
00:34I want to stay forever
00:38Closer each day
00:41Home and away
00:44We know you said you didn't want to party but
00:46You're 60, I mean that's huge
00:48Exactly, and we couldn't let it pass without having a proper celebration
00:53Grandad
00:54And you're annoyed
00:56Annoyed?
00:58Mate, I'm over the moon
01:00I know I said I didn't want a big shindig or anything like that
01:03But in the fair thinking department
01:05When people were giving me a wide berth all day
01:07I really started to have second thoughts
01:10Well, lucky we knew you were just full of hot air then
01:12Nah, that's enough out of you
01:14Well, looks like there's more surprises to come
01:16I think you might be talking about me
01:18Straight pink
01:19Mitch
01:20How are you mate?
01:21Happy birthday
01:22Thanks
01:23Oh you shouldn't
01:24Now of course Lancey wasn't always an angel
01:27Especially when that good for nothing Martin Dibble was around
01:30Sorry Martin
01:30Dibble
01:32Lancey's so called best friend
01:33Always coming up with some scheme or prank
01:36He wasn't a good influence on my boy
01:39There you go Mum
01:40They spent their days running around from one floozy to another
01:44They never had much luck in that tartan
01:46Though I can't think why
01:47Hey Morgz, get us a coldie while you're at it
01:50Morgz?
01:50You're not listening to me
01:52Oh for heaven's sake Celia
01:53I'm quite capable of deciding what I can or cannot drink
01:56But you know what you like when you're intoxicated
01:59Oh, look out
02:00I'm down the hatches
02:02So what do you think Sif?
02:04We made a pretty good team this afternoon looking for Alf?
02:06Blake
02:07Sif
02:08You better get used to it because I'm not going to give up
02:12I'm just going to have a pit stop
02:13Grab us a drink and I'll catch up with you in a sec
02:15Yep, no worries
02:18Great party isn't it?
02:19Hey, too right
02:21I wasn't sure I'd be able to get a flight over
02:23Doubt I did though
02:24A shame to miss today
02:25Yeah, it would
02:26Alf, you have to come and rescue us
02:28Colleen and Lance have just started on about the great homebrew disaster of 1990
02:33Sure, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel good and early
02:39Oh, congratulations
02:40Thanks
02:40Hey, are you going to have a honeymoon?
02:43Are we just going to go up to the coast for a few days?
02:45Yeah, yeah, me and Deb's had a pretty low-key honeymoon too, eh?
02:48All you need is a comfy bed and that soil it really matters
02:51Yes
02:52Oh mum
02:56Hey, you look great
02:57Oh, thanks, so do you
02:59This is Mitch, an old friend of mine
03:00He used to live with Alf
03:01And this is Kim, the baby's father
03:04Oh, right, nice to meet you
03:06Yeah, you too
03:07I've got that beer for you, Mitch
03:08Oh, good on you, mate
03:08Cheers, nice
03:10Oh, Dad
03:11Can I get you another beer?
03:12Ah, pretty right, thanks, mate
03:13Oh, Don
03:14There you are
03:18You are so going to pay for that, McGregor
03:21Yeah, we'll bring it on, we should just bring it on
03:22Yeah, we'll bring it on
03:25So, um, you and Chloe
03:28Nothing really happened there yet, mate
03:30She knows how you feel though
03:33Well, she's just been having a full on relationship, so
03:35Well, for all the more reason, she'd be looking for a bit of, um, happiness
03:39Tell her
03:40Come on, come and dance with me
03:41No, no, no, no
03:42Come on, come on, come on
03:43Actually, I'm not dancing, Chloe
03:44I can't dance
03:44I'm not taking my open answer, get on your feet
03:46Come on, you can't dance, you know
03:50You should have seen the look on your face
03:52standing up there at the head of the bed of red hot coals.
03:56You never looked you through, no?
03:57I'm sorry to interrupt, Donald.
03:58You simply must come with me.
03:59It's Morag.
04:00She's utterly impossible.
04:02Come along.
04:02She's this way.
04:03Good luck, Donald.
04:04Trust Aunty Sheila to get in the way, eh?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Grandad.
04:07Grandad.
04:09Don't.
04:10Just a peek, mate.
04:13Just because you haven't had enough surprises for one day.
04:17Sandy, Alf, happy birthday.
04:19Oh, thanks for coming, mate.
04:20Are Sandy and Bella in the car?
04:22No, they couldn't make it, but they did say to send their love.
04:24All right, all right.
04:25Let's not get too softy here.
04:28Stone the Flamin' Crow.
04:30How are you, Stewie?
04:31Good, mate.
04:32Oh, yeah.
04:34Oh, you're looking good, yeah.
04:40As I told you, I'm not much of a dance.
04:42You're fantastic.
04:43Awesome.
04:44Thanks.
04:51What?
04:54There's something I've been meaning to ask you.
04:59I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime.
05:04Or not.
05:08Oh, Jessie, I'm...
05:10God, I'm really sorry if I've given you the wrong signals.
05:12I'm not really ready for that.
05:14No, it's cool.
05:15It's fine.
05:16Please don't be upset.
05:17Yeah.
05:18All right.
05:19Um, excuse me for a second.
05:21Oh, it looks so gypsy and the others couldn't come.
05:24Yes, and she said to say hi.
05:25And she also told me to tell you to take it easy.
05:28Yeah, I have been.
05:29I promise my guard dog over here wouldn't have it any other way.
05:31Oi, you big galoot.
05:33Where's my hug?
05:37So, I just saw you and Blake talking.
05:40Um, is everything okay?
05:41Yeah.
05:42Yeah, I guess you could say that.
05:43Really?
05:44Yeah, well, I had a chat with Pip this afternoon about having trust again and, you know, of course
05:49she was right once again.
05:50I don't know.
05:50It's kind of like how it used to be with him.
05:52All right.
05:52So you're getting back together?
05:53Look, I don't know.
05:54I don't know.
05:54We'll see.
05:55Okay.
05:55Anyway, I'll be back in tea.
05:59Hey, Jess, where are you going?
06:02Oh, it's going to be a bit of a headache, so I'm going to take off.
06:04Look, I'm sorry.
06:05I hope you're not feeling bad about before.
06:07Oh, it's got absolutely nothing to do with before.
06:09I promise.
06:10Catch you soon, hey?
06:12Hey, do you ever hear from Hayden?
06:14No, not from you.
06:15But I was thinking about it.
06:20Anyone else want another drink?
06:22No, thanks.
06:23Yeah, why not?
06:25So what's the story with him?
06:27No story.
06:28We're just seeing what happens.
06:29And Scott?
06:31Is out of the picture.
06:32I'm moving on.
06:33Can you believe that Bella started school next year?
06:36No, it's crazy, isn't it?
06:37I was just thinking, Al, how much else would have really loved this?
06:42Yeah.
06:42Yeah, she would.
06:44I just wish she was here to see it for herself.
06:47Oh, I think she probably is somewhere.
06:53Sarah!
06:56Oh, my God, Baba.
06:58What a turn-up.
06:59Young Sarah Thompson's just arrived.
07:01Or is that Sarah O'Neill?
07:03Oh, my God, I can't keep up.
07:04I'm pretty sure she married Tug and took his name.
07:08Sweetheart, are you okay?
07:11Yeah, I'm fine.
07:13Chloe.
07:13I'm fine.
07:17I need to talk to you.
07:19Troy, what are you doing here?
07:20They let me out on bar.
07:22I had to see you.
07:23You clear out of here, sunshine.
07:25Is there a problem?
07:26Not until I talk to Chloe.
07:26No, Troy, he was just leaving.
07:27I just want to talk to you.
07:28Will, no.
07:29Just talk to me.
07:29If I can't have you, no one else will.
07:31Hey, Will.
07:39Dahl, for the last time, you have got nothing to apologise for.
07:43Irene is absolutely right, sweetheart.
07:45It's Troy's problem, not yours.
07:47I'll get you a drink.
07:50Are you all right, Alex?
07:52Yeah, yeah.
07:53Um, another drink?
07:54Yeah, sure.
07:59Come on, Hayley.
08:00Can't avoid the dance floor all night.
08:01Oh, excuse me.
08:02What happened is you don't relax and take it easy?
08:05Well, it's one dance.
08:05Come on, I'll go easy on you.
08:06Oh, easy.
08:07Yeah, we go.
08:22Catching some fresh air while you can?
08:25Stars are always so much brighter out here.
08:27I know it sounds ridiculous, but...
08:29No, no, no, it doesn't.
08:30I mean, sometimes it seems that everything's a little brighter around here.
08:36Blake...
08:37Sorry, just listen, okay?
08:41Oh, sorry.
08:48Look, I know that I messed up, okay?
08:50Really, really bad.
08:51I know it's going to take time for you to forgive me.
08:55But you and me, David and Tamara, I am so sure that we can have the most amazing life together.
09:06But I need you to give me another chance.
09:11You know, if we were going to do this, you know, it's got to be for good, Blake.
09:16You know, I'm not...
09:17Hey, hey, hey.
09:18So, I'm not going anywhere.
09:20No way.
09:21Not again.
09:32Of course, the good thing about it is we've got the whole family together.
09:35Now, how long is it since we've managed that, eh?
09:37Yeah, well, just don't let's make a habit of it, shall we?
09:39What's up with you, Morag?
09:40There you are, Morag.
09:41I got held up with Colleen Smart.
09:43Honestly, that woman doesn't know when she said enough.
09:46Hey, why don't we take a photo while everyone's here?
09:48What a wonderful idea.
09:50Duncan, come on.
09:52We're going to have a family photo.
09:53That'd be enthusiastic.
09:57You know, it's not going to be quite the same, is it, without Barbara and Ruthie here?
10:01I mean, without them, we'd have the whole clan.
10:02What about Quinn?
10:03What about her?
10:04Well, we've got, um, Duncan representing the US faction of the family.
10:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's just not going to be quite the same without Ruth herself being here.
10:12I give up.
10:13Sorry?
10:13It doesn't matter what I do or how hard I try to make things up to you.
10:16It's just never good enough, is it?
10:18Duncan.
10:19Oh, just forget it.
10:25I shouldn't have pushed you to dance.
10:26Sorry.
10:27What's wrong?
10:28Nothing.
10:28I just need a breather, that's all.
10:30I'll get you a water.
10:34Don't stress, I truly am, okay?
10:36Fair enough.
10:37But while we're telling the truth, do you want to tell me what the deal really is with him?
10:41What do you mean?
10:43You don't like him.
10:45Well, of course I do.
10:46He's a great guy, he's caring, he's responsible, and he'll be a fantastic dad.
10:51All good things, but there's not exactly a lot of passion behind what you're saying.
10:54Well, please.
10:56You still love Scott, don't you?
10:58I told you, Scott and I aren't going to happen.
11:00That's not what I asked.
11:02So what, you're just going to move on with him as if some sort of second best?
11:07No, that's not what it is, okay?
11:09Kim, he really is...
11:09He's a great guy, yeah, you said.
11:12It's not fair on you, Hayley, or Kim, for you to go into something with him if your heart's
11:16actually somewhere else.
11:17All I want is a happy and stable life for my child.
11:20But Hayley...
11:20No, Will, please don't, okay?
11:21You can't just come back to town for five minutes and tell me what's going on with my life.
11:25I do have feelings for Kim, and I'm sure in time those feelings will grow, but please
11:30just get off my back for now, okay?
11:36I didn't mean anything by him.
11:38Don't worry about him, Grandad.
11:39He's a toss-up.
11:39Oh, Rick!
11:40Well, I'm sorry, but he's making dramas out of nothing.
11:43You just need some time to cool down.
11:46I thought about timing.
11:48Sorry?
11:49Oh, forgetting about Duncan for a second.
11:51Yeah, we might not have been able to get Rue here, but we have done our best on getting
11:55the missing family member here.
11:57Oh!
12:01It's done!
12:02Flamin' crows!
12:03Barbara!
12:05It's good to see you, Nana.
12:07Happy birthday.
12:08Thanks.
12:09Thanks.
12:09Come in, come in, come in.
12:10Oh, congratulations.
12:12And it's for good this time.
12:13Without a doubt.
12:14Oh, yeah.
12:14I'm not letting him go again, trust me.
12:17Does that mean that you'll put the ring back on?
12:19Sorry?
12:21Engage at ringside.
12:23Really?
12:24I meant what I said.
12:25This is for real, so...
12:26Oh!
12:30All right, everyone.
12:31Photo time.
12:31And I don't just mean the family.
12:33I mean everybody.
12:35Come on, everyone.
12:36Up you again.
12:36Can we get this?
12:38Stop doing that.
12:39Stop doing that.
12:44You can kick the sign in as well.
12:45No, it's good.
12:49Probably have to squeeze in a bit, ladies and gentlemen,
12:51but I'm sure we're all good friends by now.
12:52I'm not.
12:53You all right?
12:54You're right?
12:54Get on, man.
12:55Nice run, you kid.
12:56Oh, yeah.
12:59Okay, here we go.
13:00About five seconds.
13:01Turn it time right.
13:02It says about five seconds.
13:03Wait.
13:03Here we go.
13:08Here we go.
13:15We won't keep the party on hold for too long, we promise.
13:17But there are a few people here that would like to say a couple of words about Grandad.
13:22So, Mr. Fisher?
13:25Well, what can I say?
13:28Quite simply, Alf Stewart is the best friend I've ever had.
13:33He's loyal.
13:34He's open.
13:36He's honest.
13:38And it's been one of the greatest pleasures of my life to call you a friend.
13:44Thanks, Alf.
13:50One of the things that Alfred has spent most of the last 60 years trying to hide from the world
13:55is that underneath, he's really just one big softie.
13:59Oh, there he goes.
14:01It's true, and never was it more evident than when he first met Ailsa.
14:06I've never witnessed such mutual love and devotion.
14:11Alfred worshipped the ground that Ailsa walked on, as she did him.
14:19Well, um, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing when Grandad and I first found each other.
14:26But, um, I picked up a couple of things about him pretty quickly.
14:31I learnt that, uh, he loves his beer and his footy.
14:35As we all know, he loves his fishing.
14:38Um, he hates bludgers and whinges and, um, well, bludgers.
14:45Um, but he's not afraid of hard work.
14:49And he'll be the first person to give you a hand if you need the help.
14:54But, most importantly, the thing I learned about Grandad is that, um,
14:59he loves his friends and family more than words.
15:03I'm flamin' proud to be your grandson.
15:06Um, a couple of months ago, um, there was a town meeting and Mr Stewart turned up to talk to
15:14us about the spirit of Summer Bay.
15:17Um, but, um, when I sat down to think about what I was going to say today and when I
15:22actually had to look back over the past 18 years,
15:26I realised that, that he is that spirit.
15:30I mean, your love of this town and your commitment to the community.
15:36I mean, and no matter what any of us have ever had to face, you've always been there for us.
15:42And you've been there for me, too.
15:45You know, for all of the best times.
15:48And, and the worst ones, too.
15:50No matter, no matter what it was, you were there without question.
15:54And, you know, and that has meant the world to me.
16:04You mean the world to me, Mr Stewart.
16:08Sorry.
16:09You don't want to get upset.
16:11Um, yeah, I have...
16:15I think that I'm, I'm really lucky to have been blessed with the most incredible family.
16:22I, I also think that I'm even luckier that one of the most important members of that family is still
16:30here, right beside me.
16:33My life and all of our lives is far better for having you in it.
16:38Happy birthday.
16:49You know we belong together
16:53You and I forever and ever
16:57No matter where you are
17:01You're my guiding star
17:05And from the very first moment I saw you
17:10I never felt such emotion
17:14I'm walking on it
17:18Just to know
17:20Just to know
17:21You are there
17:22You are there
17:24Hold me in your arms
17:27Don't let me go
17:29I want to stay forever
17:32Home and away
17:34With you each day
17:41When are we belong together
17:44You and I forever and ever
17:48Until the end of time
17:52I'm yours and you are one
17:57Ooh, I couldn't spend another minute
18:02Living my life
18:04Without you in it
18:07It's suddenly clear
18:09I will always
18:12I will always
18:13Need you here
18:14Need you here
18:25Thank you very much one and all.
18:28I mean, I'm just really appreciative that
18:30You know, you've all
18:31Come back to the bay
18:32Please come back more often
18:35Have a good night

18:54So it's you
18:54One, two, three
18:55And we'll get you in the car
18:56Yeah, I'll be out in the car
18:57See you later
18:58See you later
18:59See you later
19:00Back seat, Morag
19:01I couldn't possibly squeeze into
19:04Barbara's little car
19:05With my knees the way they are
19:06Oh, shut up, Celia
19:07Oh, good night, Morag
19:09See you later
19:10Thank you for such a lovely night, Alf
19:14Thanks for being here, Pip
19:15Oh, I wouldn't have missed it for the world
19:17It was very special
19:18Yeah, it was a bit special
19:19And don't you get a big head
19:21After all those speeches
19:22Oh, don't worry
19:22I'll pull him into line
19:23If he gets out of hand
19:24Good
19:25Well, we'd better get moving
19:27Okay
19:27See you
19:28See you
19:29One last time
19:29See you, Don
19:30Thanks for coming, mate
19:31I love it
19:31Yeah, I will
19:36What a night
19:37Yeah
19:38Sorry to leave you with all this mess
19:40Oh, don't worry about it
19:41I'll just clean a few things up tonight
19:43Do the rest in the morning
19:49Thanks, Cel
19:50Oh, it's okay
19:51It's my pleasure
19:51No, no, no, no
19:52Not for tonight
19:54Well, not just for tonight
19:56For everything
19:58That's okay
20:00Happy birthday
20:01Thank you, darling
20:02Thanks a lot
20:04We'll see you there, Anne
20:05Thanks
20:06See you
20:18I thought Morag was going to rip Celia's head off at one point
20:21Did you see how red her face went?
20:24At least the whole night wasn't a disaster
20:27Sorry?
20:28Oh, Troy
20:29I'm so sorry you turned up like that
20:30Oh, don't be silly, love
20:32It wasn't your fault
20:33In fact, I reckon I won the prize for the biggest drama of the night
20:37Duncan will come around, Grandad
20:38Yeah, maybe
20:41What is this idiot doing?
20:44What the...
20:58It's suddenly clear
21:02I will always
21:04Need you here
21:06Hold me in your arms
21:09Don't let me go
21:11I want to stay forever
21:15Close on each day
21:18Home and away
21:23Forever
21:24Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
