Billie Ashford (Tessa De Josselin)

Are you ok now?

Irene would get her baby or would it be Ash?

Irene I imagine. I doubt Ash would want sole custody of a baby.

Will the secret of the baby's paternity even be known when Billie dies?

Phoebe knows yes?

Phoebe knows yes?

I forgot about Phoebe. I think she suspects but Billie insists the baby's VJ's. Still, I don't think she'd keep quiet about her suspicions after Billie's death (if the secret isn't out by then).

All fine now tammyy2j! (After a stiff drink while I was typing out/posting the article!!).

It will be interesting to see who ends up with the baby. I suppose we have to assume that by then the baby's true paternity is known to all. So Irene would be in the running (& Mick is back behind bars?). Even though some articles/fan sites say that she did, we don't really know for sure as yet whether Billie actually jilts VJ at the altar - we saw those pictures of her running away from the ceremony, but I read someone (who was supposedly there for the filming) mention that she actually returns later & they may have gone through with the ceremony? And those recent pictures showing her cradling the baby after Mick had supposedly kidnapped it, also showed VJ comforting Billie, giving the impression that they were still together. If they do end up getting married, I suppose VJ could end up keeping the baby - with Leah's help etc (even though he is not the biological father). If he knows it is not his, & he decides to stay with her/marry her anyway, maybe he adopts the baby? With Billie being Ash's sister, I suppose he might also stake a claim to keep the baby (can't see it myself). Not sure of the legal position with all this, & it will be interesting to see what happens if the three of them want to keep the baby & some sort of fight ensues (i.e. wil Irene & Leah have a falling out etc).

Sorry if I was rambling a bit here - rather tired after a long day (& another stiff drink!!)

Who does Billie tell VJ the baby's father really is when she confesses the truth?

Sounds like you well and truly deserved that stiff drink!

Obviously it might be different in Australia but, here in the UK, if Billie and VJ marry, his name is on the birth certificate and he wants custody of the baby after Billie's death, no one else would have any legal claim over it. The courts would be extremely unlikely to force VJ into having the baby DNA tested for instance.

That's a shame. Tessa de Jossellin is one of the few actors on the show at the moment who can actually act (along with George Mason, Alec Snow, Emily Symons and Georgie Parker).

No Phoebe 100% knows it's Irene's son's. They've had a few conversations about it.

I must admit I wouldn't have included George Mason in that list, much as I like Ash.

Aww that is a nice name

Following on from Perdita's post, DailyMail have now posted this (amended) article:

SPOILER ALERT! Is Home And Away's Billie Ashford going to name her baby Luc? Script shows doomed star will live long enough to name first child after her late brother

It has been revealed that she may soon be killed off by Home And Away producers.

But a leaked script suggests Billie Ashford, played by Tessa De Josselin, will live long enough to give birth to her baby and name him Luc - after her late brother.

Ada Nicodemou, who portrays Leah Patterson in the popular Australian soap, gave the game away when she shared a snap of herself learning lines.

The script in her picture shows a conversion between Billie, her older brother Ash (George Mason), her boyfriend VJ Patterson (Matt Little) and Leah.

Billie is said to have a 'worried expression' on her face before asking Leah if 'everything is ok'.

It then mentions baby Luc and describes the newborn as 'cute'.

Billie first appeared on the soap back in 2015 when she was reunited with her older brother Ash while visiting Luke's grave.

Ada shared a picture of the script on social media, saying: 'Learning lines and ordering food for the week. @dietlicious_aus #homeandaway.'

It emerged on Tuesday that Billie's days may be numbered on the soap opera.

Photographs show Phoebe Nicholson (Isabella Giovinazzo) mourning her friend's death at a memorial during filming at Sydney's Palm Beach........


(the rest of the article is the same as the DailyMail article Perdita posted a couple of days ago about Billie possibly being killed off).



(Flying back into Sydney from the Gold Coast this afternoon, on our side of the plane, we got a great aerial view of the lighthouse up on the headland & Palm Beach etc - aka Summer Bay!)
