Here's a few Home & Away secrets in the coming months:

There's going to be marriage involved for one of the major players of the big mystery story that continues to twist and turn till the end of 2009 - and will be full resolved in early 2010.

Martha is going to become a mother - but not in the way you think .... hmm - I guess she adopts. This new mothering role will show a wonderful new side to her that us as viewers have never witnessed before.

And Irene's former love interest Lou (who was murdered) this storyline is far from over. It appears that it is going to reveal a bigger mystery - which will involved interesting developments when we revisit this plotline & Irene & Donna come face to face again. We were lead to believe Donna's imprisonment was a little early, and that it concluded the story - but alas this was a red herring to make us think all was done and dusted - it appears that is far from the case.

And finally - one of the bay regulars WILL be being farewelled at their funeral. So, yes death will rear its ugly head in Summer Bay as a conseqence of the big mystery.

What with that and the Charlie/Ruby stuff we already know about - it looks like it's going to be a really great few months.

I'm thinking the funeral will be either Belle's - as she's tied with Irene or Ross Buckton - maybe the stress of the reveal that Ruby is in fact his granddaughter instead of his daughter took it's toll.

What does everyone else think?

Charlie was raped when she was 14 i believe so that would make her 30 in the show, i don't think ive ever heard mentioned how old she is in the show.

The thing with Ross is he's now in a residential home Aus Pace so isn't such a regular. I'm wondering about Angelo? And I'm wondering if Angelo and Charlie get married?

Over my dead body. Sorry bout that I can't stand Angelo and would happily beat him with a shovel over and over again.
Maybe Martha and Hugo? Unless they've split. I'm actually liking Martha again now she's stopped being centre of attention.
Still don't like Hugo though.
If Tony does die \/ then poor Lucas. First his mother and then his brother. Surely Home and Away doesn't dislike the Holden's that much

Maybe Rachel gets worse mentally and kills Tony. She goes into a mental home and Martha and Hugo will have to look after Harry.

Though it doesn't say anything about Hugo so maybe he gets put in prison before that.

I would like to see that happen with Harry going to Hugo and Martha, but I wouldn't want Tony die.

Agree, I'm finding Martha bearable too
I don't like Angelo either, but isn't the big storyline supposed to reveal stuff about Hugo and Angelo, or did we come up with that one?

I think it would be cute to see Martha and Hugo with Harry. I think the only person we can rule out dying is Hugo, surely they're not THAT mean to Martha!

No I've got it- Kirsty dies. And that's an estimate based on the fact she's leaving "TBC" but I think it's pretty damn accurate

Well, they are mean to Leah but I think Martha is safe for now. I think we had a theory it'd involve Angelo and Hugo but I don't think it'd rock the Bay.
At first I thought Hugo wasn't related to Tony but then that wouldn't make sense.
If Angelo killed again would that shock people? Long as as it's not Charlie he kills or I'll hunt him down.

Would make sense. The actress signed a new contract and few weeks later she decides to leave.
Either she had a falling out with producers or Miles or she regrets coming back. One way to make sure she never returns is to kill her.
I'm just a bit suspicious. Why would she sign a new contract and then leave not long after?

I guess that would put a stop to her coming in and out of the show. What was the point of her coming back to then leave again a year or so later. She has no more connections in the Bay - other than Miles. She never mentions her family, other than young son Ollie, so it'd definately make more sense if her character died - I've heard Shelly comes back for a short stint, so if it's her then the reason for her return would be for the funeral, but then that begs the question as to why Laura de Groot (her biological twin), Jade (adoptive twin) and dad Rhys. (Tammin Sursok who played Dani is in The Young & The Restless, so has clearly moved on).

I'm not sure why she's leaving to be fair. She hasn't been in anything I've seen since she left Home & Away. Perhaps she has the urge to work overseas, and maybe crack American. Tammin Sursok (Dani Sutherland) has had a go and is currently appearing in US soap The Young & The Restless.

But you'd think in this current economic decline that she wouldn't turn down a job as big as this. OK, so it's not some big Hollywood blockbusting movie, but it's still a regular job, that's something film actors would bite her off her right arm for you'd think.

I liked the character of Kirsty in her hey day because she was feisty and times and always had good scenes to play out, but now she's older, it's a lot harder to find her character appealing, so I wouldn't miss her if she was killed off.

Plus haven't you noticed that a few familiar faces from Out Of The Blue have cropped up in it now. First of all Bernard Curry (who played Nate Perret in Out Of The Blue) and is now playing the part of Jack Holden's cousin Hugo, Samara Weaving (the real-life neice of The Matrix's Hugo Weaving) played Kirsten Mulroney and is now in Home & Away playing Indigo Walker & finally Clayton Watson (Jarrod O'Donnell, Out Of The Blue) has had a recent role in the the Summer Bay soap playing Ruby Buckton's biological father Grant Bledcoe.

I don't think it's Angelo we say goodbye too. I doubt many would gather for his funeral after what happened with Jack - especially Tony. He definately wouldn't feature, unless maybe Rachel had talked him round and he'd realised he hadn't done it out of malice, it was just accidental & wrong place/wrong time.

I love puzzling about it though, at least there is some mystery and we're not always figuring out who's done what. Isn't soapland wonderful?

Probably already pointed out but Indy looks a lot like Matilda.
Let's hope she and God Boy never get together. If they do she better check there's no camera around for him to film it and then brag to his friends about it.

I don't know what the general feeling is but right now i'm loving Charlie, she was great during the kidnap episodes, possessed Charlie is great to watch. The storylines also been pretty good, and now the question; who killed Grant?

You've missed out Brendan, John Palmer & the random guy on the island (who may or may not have something to do with Hugo).

Oh great, more Martha and more of her wonderfulness.

mayeb martha and Hugo get married he has a secret child and thats what he keeps disappearning off too and Martha takes that child on as hers?

The death person hmmm Rachel, bought in a new doctor already to replace her and all of Tony's people die?

Not sure on the Donna and Irene thing

A regular whose death would shake the Bay would definitely be Alf. He doesn't get any decent storylines any more, he's just part of the furniture now ...

Have we ever had an explanation of what really happened that night when Hugo returned from an over night boat trip with a 'shark bite'. Was that not the night the Lou was killed? Maybe it was his blood that they discovered on the boat that cleared Irene.

Maybe the death is Geoff? Just found this thread....

That was never explained. Just brushed under the carpet.
I doubt Geoff will die, as much as I want him too. He'll be sent off to bible college or something.
I would have liked Geoff be the one killed off and not Belle. She and Aden could've had a happy ending.
She goes off to the city or somewhere else then a month or so later Aden joins her.
Yes, I'm pissed at Belle's death and I haven't even watched it yet. Seems all my favourites in programmes get killed off. The last one died of breast cancer

I haven't got time to read the whole thread, but Rachel or Tony aren't leaving are they? They're my favourites.

I really don't like Hugo, I don't know whether its the character or the actor that plays him but he just comes across as smarmy.

What if Kirsty died, Miles was lost in too much grief to want to look after Ollie (being that he lost another child when Kirsty died) so Martha and Hugo looked after Ollie?

I did wonder when I just found it on the soaps news section.

Would Kirsty, if she did die, not want Irene to look after Ollie?

i really wonde who it could be

will they die in 2009 or in 2010 early on? maybe it will be a season finale type thing like sally being stabbed???
