00:01I need to talk to you about something and I'm not sure how you're going to feel about it.
00:05What's up?
00:06I want to look for Mum.
00:08Now, I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I feel like it's something I've got to do.
00:13Dad, how'd you go? Did you track down any of Mum's stuff?
00:15No luck, I'm afraid.
00:16I went through all the old blocks.
00:18Not a thing, I'm afraid.
00:20Yeah, okay. See ya.
00:25Well, Colleen was rapping on about her play and how people shouldn't be ashamed of their love.
00:30They got me thinking. We should tell people about us.
00:33Really?
00:34Yeah.
00:38You know we belong together
00:42You and I forever and ever
00:47No matter where you are
00:51You're my guiding star
00:54You're my guiding star
00:56Hold me in your arms
00:58Don't let me go
01:00I want to stay forever
01:04Closer each day
01:07Home and away
01:11So it's all looking normal then? The baby's okay?
01:13Everything looks to be developing as it should.
01:16Oh, it is so good.
01:18When you tell yourself everything's fine but there's still always that niggle in the back of your mind.
01:22Where are the baby's fingers?
01:24Pardon?
01:25On that hand. I can't see the baby's fingers.
01:27Bub's sucking its thumb. See there?
01:29Oh, that is so cute!
01:31Just like a real baby.
01:32It is a real baby.
01:36Hello little one. It's your mummy and daddy here.
01:39It's our baby. It's actually our baby.
01:42This is amazing. You're amazing.
01:45Just when I thought I couldn't love anyone anymore.
01:48Funny how it's always the dads that turn to mush.
01:51Right then.
01:52Let's take a look at Bub's heart.
01:59Oh, you her, Beth. Just the person I wanted to see.
02:03Colleen, what can I do for you?
02:04I was wondering if I could book the games room for this afternoon for my auditions.
02:08Auditions?
02:09Haven't you heard?
02:10No.
02:11At the hospital it's in desperate need of new equipment so I've taken it upon myself to raise the necessary
02:15funds.
02:16And how do you plan to do that?
02:17With my new play, of course, I started writing yesterday morning and here it is, hot off the printer.
02:22And you're ready to move on it already?
02:24Yeah, well there's no point in wasting time, is there? Not when lives are at stake.
02:27So the games room?
02:29All yours.
02:30What's the play about?
02:31Oh, it's a heart-rendering tragedy.
02:34It's about two young lovers torn apart by their warring families, each desperate to get together.
02:40Sounds original.
02:41Cool. Can I audition?
02:42Oh, certainly.
02:43But you'll need a partner, a male partner to audition with. It is, after all, a romance.
02:48I thought you said it was a tragedy.
02:50Oh, well, it's a romantic tragedy to be exact.
02:53Can I, Mum?
02:55Oh, go on.
02:56Oh dear, look at the time I must dash. So much to organise, you know?
03:02Hi, Mum. This is for you.
03:04What's this?
03:05It's a peace offering.
03:07We know that we should have told you the truth about the apartment.
03:10And none have been so sneaky.
03:11And after the big empty nest speech that you gave us.
03:14I couldn't break your heart.
03:15That's very considerate of you.
03:17It's just to remind you that even though we're not in your home, we are still in your life.
03:21Do you like it?
03:23That's very sweet.
03:26Nevertheless, you were right.
03:28You should have been more honest with me, rather than sneaking around behind my back.
03:36Just getting a drink.
03:37And there's some juice in the fridge.
03:43Rick?
03:44Yep.
03:46Can you at least look at me?
03:50I know this is really hard for both of us, and I really hate-
03:54Hey guys, you'll never guess.
03:56What?
03:57That's what?
03:59Doesn't matter.
04:03Catch you guys later.
04:06That was good timing.
04:08Forget it.
04:09So what's with the excitement?
04:11Colleen's putting on a play.
04:13Colleen?
04:14Yeah, and the auditions are this afternoon, and I'd really, really love it if you'd be my audition partner.
04:19Oh, that's really sweet.
04:20No.
04:21Oh, come on. Look, there's no one else that I can ask, and it'd be fun.
04:26Colleen and fun.
04:28No.
04:29Besides, I've got enough to deal with anyways. I've drawn around my life as it is.
04:32Well, that's exactly why you should do it. It'd get you out of the house and away from, you know.
04:38Come on, Rick. It'd really help me out.
04:40Something was about to happen that would change the little island forever.
04:44Dad.
04:46Thanks for the call last night.
04:49Yes, as I said, I didn't think there'd be anything.
04:52Your mother took most of her things with her when she left.
04:54Anything that was left behind, I got rid of slowly over the years.
04:58I'm sorry.
05:00How did the ultrasound go?
05:02The baby's fine.
05:04And Hayley?
05:04Yeah, Hayley's good.
05:06What's the problem then?
05:08Um, I might have got a bit carried away this morning.
05:13I told Hayley I love her.
05:15That's bad.
05:17I just don't want to feel pressured like I'm moving too fast.
05:20You can't hide your feelings either.
05:22I'm sure Hayley will be fine.
05:25We've only just got back together.
05:28I see. And there's a law, is there, about how long you have to wait before you can use the
05:32L word.
05:33Of course not. I just, I wasn't expecting it, that's all.
05:38Um, this wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Scott, would it?
05:44It's just that I saw you two having a yak at Peter's farewell do.
05:49Don't worry, Scott and I are never getting back together.
05:52It's not what I asked, darling.
05:56Irene, I want to be with Kim, okay? Why wouldn't I?
05:58He's kind, he's loving, we have fun together.
06:02He makes me feel safe.
06:04Thanks.
06:06And he's the father of the baby. It just feels right for all of us.
06:12Well, as long as you're sure about this, sweetie.
06:16I am, I'm very sure.
06:19Now don't forget, auditions start at 4pm sharp.
06:22I'll let everyone know.
06:24Such a shame you're not well enough to audition yourself.
06:26Oh well, maybe next time, eh?
06:33Oh guys, someone's talked to someone.
06:37So, how's the new place going? Do you feel like home yet?
06:39Pretty much.
06:40Excellent, because I've been thinking.
06:42You guys need a housewarming party.
06:44A party? Good idea!
06:46That'll really prove to Beth how mature and responsible we are.
06:50Oh, is she still annoyed about springing you two in the flat?
06:53Just a bit.
06:54Well, is it any wonder?
06:56She's got a right to be concerned.
06:58I mean, living together is no walk in the park, you know.
07:01You've got your bills to pay, you've got your cooking and cleaning,
07:04you've got your schoolwork to keep up. It's hard yakking.
07:06We know that, Renny, we're not kids.
07:08Yeah, love, I know you're not.
07:11So, what'll it be?
07:13Choking milk with sprinkles?
07:16Hey, I'm so glad you decided to audition.
07:18I'm only here to keep Colleen off my back.
07:21I have no intention of being in this play.
07:23Nice to have us.
07:24So, who are you auditioning with?
07:26Here he is! I told you I had the perfect partner for you, Cassie.
07:30Now, do you all know each other from school?
07:33Hey, Adam.
07:34Hi.
07:35You spilled hydrochloric acid all over my worksheet in chemistry last term.
07:38Yeah. Sorry about that.
07:40Lovely. Let's get started then, shall we?
07:44Cassie, you don't have to do this.
07:46Do what?
07:47Audition, just because I am.
07:48Cassie, if I didn't even know you were going to be here.
07:51Well, now you do, so you can go.
07:52This isn't exactly your scene.
07:54It's not exactly yours, either.
07:56Well, I don't want to let Maddie down.
07:57And I don't want to let Aiden down.
07:58Would you stop being so stubborn?
07:59Will you stop being so stubborn?
08:01Alright, fine.
08:03Then Maddie gonna wipe the floor with you two.
08:05As if. I could beat you any day.
08:14As you can see, our leading lady is Summer.
08:17A beautiful, passionate young woman
08:19in love with a man she can never have.
08:21The handsome, brooding Rex.
08:24We had a dog called Rex.
08:26He used to brood too.
08:27Summer loved Rex from the minute you first saw him.
08:30Colleen, there's a spelling mistake on page three.
08:33Yearn is Y-E-A-I-N.
08:34Oh, that must be a typo.
08:36No, but then there's two more on page seven of two.
08:38Oh, well, it's obviously my typist Kim Hyde's fault.
08:41He told me he could die.
08:42But then there's a sentencing that doesn't quite make sense.
08:44Yeah, well, thank you, Matilda.
08:45I'll make sure I have a word with young Kim about his sloppiness.
08:48Well, let's just leap into it, shall we?
08:51Why don't you divide up into groups and run through the scenes?
08:54What about scene eight? It's a bit shorter than the other ones.
08:58Yep, whatever.
09:01Oh, no, you're not jealous.
09:04Well, that loser.
09:05Give me a break.
09:06This is dumb.
09:07Why don't you and cancer just kiss and make up?
09:09I'm heaps better off now that we've broken up, right?
09:11Heaps.
09:15The key to a successful party, it's all in the lighting.
09:18A few fairy lights here, a few candles there.
09:20I didn't think you'd be into that sort of stuff.
09:22No, I'm not.
09:23I rented a magazine in my physio's waiting room.
09:25No, look, Mac, I don't know.
09:26Well, we can borrow the lights from the surf club.
09:28I know someone on the committee.
09:30No, I mean about the housewarming party.
09:31I just...
09:32It doesn't feel right having one until we've sorted things out with Beth.
09:35You know, she's really down on us, hey?
09:37She's worried, that's all.
09:38Yeah, but that's my point.
09:39Like, I don't want everyone thinking that we can't cope on our own.
09:42Even Irene, you know?
09:44Like, we made one stupid mistake.
09:45When are they going to get over it?
09:47Once we can prove we can look after ourselves, I suppose.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Do you really reckon that a party with a bunch of out-of-control kids is a way to do
09:53that?
09:53Well, no, but a dinner party might.
09:57For Beth and Irene.
09:59Invite them over, show them what you're really capable of doing.
10:01Once you prove it to them, have a housewarming party totally guilt-free.
10:05That's not a bad idea.
10:06Yeah, that is a really good idea. When can we do it?
10:08No time like the present.
10:15Hey, I thought I heard someone come home. Why didn't you come and say hello?
10:18No, I didn't want to wake you. I'm just running a search on Mum's name.
10:24Listen, Hayley, about this morning, I didn't mean it.
10:27You didn't?
10:29Well, I didn't mean to blurt it out like that. Not yet, anyway.
10:33And I totally understand if you're not there yet, there's no pressure.
10:37You're where you're at and I'm...
10:39Well, you know where I'm at. Is that cool?
10:44We have a perfect baby. We're happy.
10:48And I think you are the sweetest guy in the whole world.
10:51So, yeah, I think that's very cool.
10:58Dammit, I love you. You are my universe.
11:01Is it just me or is this straight out of some trashy room or something?
11:06Hello.
11:07What?
11:08Are we going to rehearse this or not?
11:10Yeah, it's pretty straightforward.
11:11I have a plan.
11:13You're tragic.
11:22Hey, what's with all the touchy-feely stuff with Aidan?
11:24It's called rehearsing. It's a play, remember?
11:27No, you were flirting. You can't help yourself.
11:29First you had a go at me about Steve and now it's Aidan.
11:31I hardly know him.
11:32You would do anything to get back at me, wouldn't you?
11:34Get over yourself as if I'd bother.
11:36Guys.
11:36Attention, everybody. Let's have our first auditionees for the afternoon.
11:42Cassandra Turner and Abel Jeffreys.
11:48Of course.
11:52You know, I reckon Irene and Beth were pretty impressed by the invite.
11:55Of course they were. It's very grown up to have the olds over for dinner.
11:58Now all we have to do is prove we can do better than take away pizza.
12:01Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
12:05Oh, guys.
12:06You know that roast capsicum soup we were having?
12:09Well, now it's more like flambe.
12:12I took my eyes off it for a second.
12:14Okay, well there's a tin of cream of leek and potato soup in the cupboard.
12:17If I chuck in some chunks of potato, that's pretty much making it ourselves, isn't it?
12:20Genius.
12:22You do the table, I'll do the soup.
12:24Yes.
12:27Well, it looks like you guys have got everything under control, so I'm going to head off now.
12:31Stay back.
12:32The pace can't count. There are five places set.
12:34Yeah, we're not about to use you and lose you.
12:37Thanks, guys.
12:39But, babe, you said you love me.
12:41I do, babe, but I can't just walk away from my family.
12:44But your dad's never going to let us be together.
12:47He hates me.
12:48I have a plan.
12:49A plan?
12:51What sort of plan?
12:52I can't tell you about it.
12:53But, I...
12:54Please, babe, just trust me.
12:58Oh, wonderful.
13:00Just wonderful.
13:01That kiss.
13:02Such passion.
13:03It's hard to believe you're acting.
13:04Yeah, it's just what I was thinking.
13:05Alright, now, next up we have...
13:07Alright, our team. We'll go.
13:08Oh, that's what I'd like.
13:09See a bit of healthy competition.
13:11Quiet, please.
13:12Everybody watching.
13:15And...
13:15Action!
13:16Who is this dude, anyway?
13:18He's no one.
13:18Just one of Daddy's delivery boys.
13:20Well, he seems pretty hot for you.
13:21It looks to me like it's mutual.
13:22What are you saying, babe?
13:24I'm saying if I didn't know better,
13:26I'd think you liked it.
13:27You're wrong, Rex.
13:29What does he mean to you?
13:30Nothing, I swear.
13:31Tell me.
13:32There's nothing to tell.
13:33You're mine, Summer.
13:34You'll always be mine.
13:35What are you doing?
13:36There's no kiss in my script.
13:37You belong to me.
13:38Oh.
13:39Snap out of it, Rex.
13:40Summer.
13:41Summer!
13:42Come on.
13:42Come back.
13:44Sensational.
13:45It's proof.
13:47How's it going?
13:49Oh, this website's awesome.
13:50I've managed to track down a copy of Mum's birth certificate,
13:52as well as her and Dad's marriage certificate.
13:55Oh, nice work.
13:56The good news is there's no record of a death certificate.
13:58Which means she's definitely out there somewhere.
14:00It's weird, though.
14:01There's no record of her at all after 1990.
14:05Isn't that about the time when she walked out on you and your death?
14:07Hmm.
14:08Looks like she's just disappeared.
14:09Yeah, well, maybe she changed her name or something.
14:11You know, wanted to make a fresh start.
14:13Yeah, maybe.
14:14Hey, hey, mate.
14:15What's that?
14:16I don't know.
14:18Well, someone else is looking for Mum.
14:20Are you sure it's her?
14:21Well, how many Kerry Louise hides can there be?
14:25Kerry, if you're out there, please reply.
14:27I know after Jonathan things were difficult.
14:30I don't care if you don't want to see me.
14:32Just let me know you're okay.
14:34T.A.
14:36Who's T.A.?
14:38Well, who the hell's Jonathan?
14:47Wow!
14:48The place looks great.
14:50Yeah, you've certainly gone all out.
14:52Would you like to have a seat?
14:53Where would you like us?
14:55Anywhere.
14:56Anywhere you like.
14:57Oh.
14:59Oh, well.
15:00Maybe except for you.
15:02Sorry.
15:02There's some cheap chairs from Raby Creek.
15:04Maybe you should try this.
15:04No, that's right.
15:05I've got the hang of it.
15:06Okay.
15:09Nice and sturdy, I hope.
15:10My balance isn't what it used to be.
15:12Thanks, love.
15:15Robbie, can we please have some drinks for our guests?
15:17Coming right up.
15:19Okay, ladies.
15:20For dinner tonight, we're having, we're having potato and leek soup with croutons, followed
15:26by chicken and sun-dried tomato pasta with a Mediterranean salad.
15:30And for dessert, we're having ice cream and blueberries.
15:33Well, very snazzaroon-y.
15:35Yes, it is.
15:35Now, this is for you, madame.
15:39Now, it's only cask wine, but the guy at the bottle shop said it's not the worst drop
15:42you can have.
15:42Well, that's encouraging.
15:44Yeah.
15:44And for you.
15:45Oh, no, no.
15:46I'll stick to the soft side.
15:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:47Me too, love.
15:48Me too.
15:49Oh!
15:50Oh!
15:51Oh!
15:51Oh, that's so sweet.
15:52In the glass would have been nice.
15:55Well, the problem is they were all so good.
15:57Excellent, in fact.
15:58Yes, who'd have thought there'd be so much talent in such a small town, eh?
16:01Mind you, you do need a strong script.
16:04If the writing's poor, no amount of genius can lift it.
16:07I'd love to play Summer, but you were so good.
16:10Wasn't she Rick?
16:11Yeah, she was all right.
16:12All right.
16:13She was awesome.
16:15Who asked you?
16:16Don't worry about him.
16:17He's just having a hard time working out what's real and what's fiction.
16:19That's rich coming from someone whose entire life is a melodrama.
16:23You're pathetic, you know that?
16:24As you've just proved to everyone here.
16:25Right, and like your behaviour today was completely out of line.
16:28Ask Maddy.
16:28I would, except I'd hate to see you publicly humiliated by what she had to say.
16:33Let me out of this, okay?
16:34Oh, and P.S., don't think I haven't seen the filthies you've been giving me all afternoon.
16:37Oh, really?
16:38I'm surprised you noticed, considering you've been so into your new best mate, Aidan.
16:42Get a life.
16:43You get a life.
16:46Did I tell you that the house next door has finally sold?
16:49Oh, at long last.
16:51Any ideas moving in?
16:53No, but I've got my fingers crossed they're not the neighbours from hell.
16:57Oh, that was lovely, Tasha.
16:59It was fantastic, darling.
17:00The sauce was a little bit drier.
17:02It was delicious, all of it.
17:03And don't forget, healthy and nutritious, the motto of this household.
17:07Oh, which explains why I saw the empty pizza box in the kitchen.
17:11Oh, do the pizza box?
17:12Oh, love, it's okay.
17:14You pass with flying colours.
17:15I'll second that.
17:16I guess I just have to get used to fewer kids under my feet.
17:19I thought you would have been happier.
17:21I know.
17:21Go figure.
17:22You know, what you need in your life, girly, is a man to focus.
17:27Oh, yeah, because some of that is just full of good-looking eligible bachelors.
17:30Well, see, you've got to know where to look.
17:32And there just happens to be a singles night on at the surf club tomorrow night.
17:36Oh, now I feel really tragic.
17:38Well, treat it as a girls' night out if you pick up a bloke.
17:41It's a bonus.
17:42Oh, wow.
17:42Go for it, Mum.
17:43Yeah, go on, it'll be fun.
17:45Oh, do I have any say in this?
17:46No.
17:50And the winners are...
17:52Hey, settle down.
17:53It's not the flaming Oscars.
17:54Cassandra Turner and Rick Dolby.
17:58You're kidding.
17:59We didn't even audition together.
18:00Oh, well, it doesn't matter.
18:01You both had that special je ne sais quoi that set you apart from the rest.
18:05You two are the perfect pair to play my summer and Rex.
18:09Told you.
18:11I had feelings, eh?
18:14Oh, Colleen, I can't do this.
18:16Yeah, of course you can.
18:16You already did.
18:18No, but Rick and I are going through emotional time right now.
18:20Oh, perfect.
18:21The more angst, the better.
18:22Now, you two just hold on to those scripts and I'll be back in touch with rehearsal times.
18:32Thank you for a lovely evening.
18:34I don't know how I could have ever doubted you.
18:36Me either, Mum.
18:37Me either.
18:38It was fantastic.
18:39Thank you very much for coming.
18:40Any time.
18:42Yes, we did it.
18:44Hey, enough of the mushy stuff, guys.
18:46Not everyone has someone to cuddle up with.
18:50Hey, you've been kind of quiet.
18:52Are you alright?
18:53Yeah.
18:54I'll wash.
18:56What's going on?
18:58It's all this talk of men.
18:59I mean, I'm 18 years old and totally single.
19:02How depressing is that?
19:04It's not gonna be forever.
19:05Yeah, well, like Bess said, there's not exactly a lot going on in the men department, is there?
19:09Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:10We'll find you some action.
19:11No probs.
19:13You know what?
19:14You're my best friend.
19:15We are gonna find you a guy.
19:16I promise.
19:18But doesn't that seem odd to you?
19:19There's not a single record of her after she left.
19:22Your mother obviously doesn't want to be fat.
19:24Yeah, but why?
19:25Is there something you're not telling me?
19:26You have to understand, this isn't easy for me, Kim.
19:31It's dredging up old memories, memories I'd rather forget.
19:34What do you know about a Jonathan?
19:37Jonathan?
19:38Yeah, I got on this webpage where someone else was looking for Mum and they mentioned Jonathan.
19:43You alright?
19:45I've never heard of a Jonathan, not that I can recall.
19:47Well, could it be an old relative or a friend or an old flame?
19:51I said I don't know.
19:53Son, take my advice.
19:54Concentrate your energies on Hayley and the baby, not on some wild goose chase.
20:00Okay.
20:03Well, I'll speak to you later.
20:11Hey, how'd it go with your dad?
20:18Not great.
20:18Still reckons he's got no idea about Mum.
20:21Keeps telling me to drop the whole thing.
20:23Now, that's understandable.
20:24She put him through a lot.
20:26Yeah, I guess.
20:28So, does he know who Jonathan is?
20:30Well, he says he doesn't.
20:32But...
20:32I don't know, I just get the feeling there's...
20:35there's something he's not telling me.
20:48Kim's been asking questions.
20:51Of course I try to talk him out of search.
20:54But he's determined.
20:58What should I do?
21:22Well, let's go.
21:24Bye.
21:25Bye.
21:25Bye.
21:25Bye.
21:25Bye.
21:25Watch out for the next day.
21:29Home and away
