The fic is set in late 1989. This also features an EastEnders crossover with Angie Watts moving to Erinsborough. She left Den truly bheind her and her and Sonny moved to Australia, well away from the grimy streets of Albert Square.

Angie becomes friends with Bradley and Andrea Townsend, 1986 characters from Neighbours.

MOINA I also have someone with me who is getting out of the car Kierian.

KIERAIN: Who is that?

MOINA: Jason Willis.

KIERAIN Never heard of anyone in the family called Jason Willis?

MOINA He is a distant relative of Doug.

KIERAIN How so?

MOINA Your grandad Bert Willis? He had a brother, Fred, you must have heard of him?

KIERAIN Yes.

MOINA Jason is Fred's grandson.

Jason Willis enters the house. He looks a bit like Doug.

JASON G'day.

KIERAIN G'day Jason, so you are related to Doug Willis then?

JASON Doug's dad Bert was my great uncle. My dad Donald Willis is Doug's cousin so it makes me a first cousin once removed. Also why are you here alone Kierain? Doug and Pam have a duty to be with you as you and Cody are under 16. If welfare find out they will take you into care. Like they do to kids in that Sydney TV soap, Home And Away. Imagine Pippa Fletcher as your foster mother?

KIERAIN Well it would make me a foster brother to Bobby as she is my fave character. And a foster nephew to Flathead Don Fisher as we found that he is Bobby's real father after a fling with Morag years ago.

JASON Oh that Morag from H&A, what a witch.

MOINA I was just chatting to a lady called Andrea Townsend. She is back in town after leaving her husband, who is he Jack Lassiter? He used to own the complex nearby before he sold it to that Paul Robinson. Her son Bradley is back at Erinsborough High.

KIERAIN Granny Moina, you look just like Mrs York, a lady who died 3 years ago in 1986.

PAUL: Done see you then
(Paul and Jason shake hands before Jason walks out)

(in the next street a woman with Auburn hair and her husband are unloading a moving truck)
ANGIE WATTS: Bleedin ell Sonny would ya be careful with that box?
SONNY: Sorry Ang
(Sonny puts the boxes inside as Angie sighs a sigh of relief )
ANGIE: Ere we are then old girl far away from the grimey streets of Albert Square

(Angie turns and sees Kierain)
ANGIE: Oi what ya lookin at kiddo?
KIERAIN: Hi I’m Kierain Willis I live in Ramsay St
ANGIE: Angie Watts from Walford in England
KIERAIN: Did you say Walford?
ANGIE: Yeah I did why?
KIERAIN: My family went on holiday there in 1985 there was some guy there who thought he ran the place
ANGIE: Oh that was probably my ex husband Den he liked to think he was in charge
KIERAIN: Den that was it
ANGIE: It was nice to meet ya love I have to get on with my unpacking come over anytime
KIERAIN: Thanks I’ll do that

(Kierain heads off to Ramsay St as Angie goes inside)

(at Number 26 Beverly is going through some papers when she finds her birth certificate)
BEV: WHAT?!
Helen comes in
HELEN: What is it Beverly?
BEV: According to this Pam Willis is my long lost sister!

To be continued…..

[CAEF]

following on....

HELEN: Let me read it. (reads it). Oh my. Beverley Beresford. Born 13th July 1949, daughter of Seamus Beresford and Moina Beresford Nee Edgington. Seamus birthplace Ireland, Moina birthplace Melbourne, Australia.
BEVERLEY: I always knew I was adopted as a 5 month old and never knew who my birth parents were. What I want to know is why did Seamus and Moina give me up and not Pam as she was born several years earlier?
HELEN: How do you know of Pam's parents names?
BEVERLEY: Me and Pam have been friends for a while and she said her parents were Seamus Beresford and Moina. I did not know Moina's maiden surname. Edgington. That makes me half Irish. Pam did once say Seamus mother was a Geaney.

Ramsay Street exterior.

Angie Watts and Sonny are stood on the junction of Ramsay Street and North Avenue.

ANGIE: Makes a break from grotty, grimy Albert Square dunn'it. Up yours Den Watts.
SONNY You bet.
ANGIE Ello darlin' (to Moina Beresford).

Just as they go to chat, Beverley runs across with her birth certificate.

BEVERLEY: Mrs Beresford, can you explain this to me?
MOINA: What is it? (She reads the birth certificate, the look on her face shows she knows what Bev is talking about). How did you come across this? Are you sure it is not a hoax?
BEVERLY: I know that you are 100% sure that it is not a hoax, you know it is not a hoax.
MOINA: We must discuss this inside the house. I had my reasons for giving you up as a baby but kept Pam.
BEVERLEY: You Willises have more relatives crawling out of the woodwork than Blake Carrington.

Continued……

(Bev and Moina are talking about the birth certificate)

BEV: So? Why did you keep Pam and not me?
MOINA: Beverly you don’t understand I wasn’t allowed to keep you
BEV: What do you mean you weren’t allowed?
MOINA: I was still at school when I had you my parents wouldn’t let me keep you
BEV: I see
MOINA: are you angry?
BEV: Well….no not really just glad we found each other
MOINA: come here
Moina and Bev hug

(At Angie and Andrea’s Kierain is over)
KIERAIN: that Jim Robinson thinks he’s so great did you know he tried to get Beverly to quit her job and be a housewife?
ANDREA: that Jim Robinson has always thought he was better than others
KIERAIN: He’s not he criticizes you for Bradley’s behaviour when his kids ended up a rich snob a busybody an 18 year old husband and a delinquent
ANDREA: Exactly you turned out well though I must say
KIERAIN: Except I’m not a Robinson I’m a Willis
ANDREA: Exactly

(Meanwhile a woman is standing on the edge of Ramsay St)

DAPHNE CLARKE: Welcome back Daph

[CAEF]

continued............

KIERAIN Why did you leave Jack Lassiter?
ANDREA It was a big mistake me getting with him, it was a marriage of convenience. So I thought I would pop back to Ramsay Street after 3 years away and see how Des is doing.
KIERAIN I have something to say, I feel I am having a crush on Angie Watts.
ANDREA Who is Angie Watts?
KIERAIN The lady from EastEnders, the English TV show. She is living in Erinsborough now.
ANDREA Oh I loved it when she left that ratbag Den Watts. He got a 16 year old pregnant.
KIERAIN I am only 16 but I am falling for 39 year old Angie.
ANDREA Oh my God.

In walks Jason Willis.

KIERAIN Hi Jason. Andrea meet Jason my distant cousin.
JASON Hi Andrea. God I hate that man at No 26 Ramsay Street.
KIERAIN Paul? Nick Page?
JASON No he has slicked back greying hair and talks posh but has a loud croaky voice.
KIERAIN Oh Jim Robinson. Why what has he said?
JASON He told me off just now for playing my Walkman loud while he was pruning his roses.
ANDREA See Kierian? Throwing his weight around. He once accused my Bradley of decapitating his roses with a boomerang. I have a plan then for the lovely Jim Robinson. Bradley will be here soon, he is staying with a friend. Jim's precious roses will not be precious any more.
KIERAIN I cannot get Angie Watts off my mind. She is staying at Lassiters. I know she has a boyfriend but I like much older women. If Beverley was not with Jim I would go for her. Jeverley.
JASON Jeverley?
KIERAIN A name ship for Jim and Beverley. Like Pam and Doug, Poug. Kierian and Angie, Kangie. Bradley and Lucy, Brucy.
ANDREA Lucy was a bad influence on Bradley.
KIERAIN Oh my God. Is that Daphne I can see through the lounge window in Ramsay Street??

DAPHNE: Brilliant thanks

(Later Doug and Kierain are in a heated argument)
DOUG: ANGELA WATTS IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR MOTHER!
KIERAIN: DON’T GIVE ME THAT! YOU TRIE3D IT ON WITH JILL WEIR WHO IS NOT MUCH OLDER THAN GABY!
DOUG: THEN I SHOULD KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT THESE AGE GAP RELATIONSHIPS NEVER WORK!
KIERAIN: DON’T ACT LIKE YOU GIVE A SHIT! YOU LEFT CODY AND I DOWN HERE ALONE WHILE YOU WERE STILL IN DARWIN
PAM: WE HAD BRAD GO WITH YOU!
KIERAIN: OH AND HE PISSED OFF TO THE STATES DIDN’T HE?! THE FACT IS I LOVE ANGIE AND SHE LOVES ME AND WE’RE GOING TO BE TOGETHER!
DOUG: THEN YOU CAN GET OUT THIS INSTANT! GO ON GO LIVE WITH THAT TART IF YOU WANT HER SO MUCH!

(Kierain storms off)


(At the waterhole he starts drinking heavily)
HENRY: Don’t you think you’ve had enough?
KIERAIN: I’LL TELL YOU WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH!
HENRY: I’m not serving you anymore go on, on your bike

(Kierain gets in his car and starts driving towards Angie’s however he falls asleep and runs into the back of a semi trailer)

[CAEF]

continued.....

There is carnage everywhere. Kierian is not badly hurt but has cuts and bruises. Someone passes by and it is none other than Bradley Townsend.

KIERAIN Help me mate will you?
BRADLEY I'll phone for an ambo.

At The Waterhole.

Angie and Sonny are enjoying a drink when Doug races in to confront her.

DOUG You've got a nerve Angela Watts.
ANGIE What ya talking about darlin?
DOUG I am not your darling. My son Kierain fancies you and wants to marry you. He is 16 and you are what? 40?
ANGIE Hey you having a bubble bath are you?
DOUG Dont talk in that Cockney slang. You mean are you having a laugh.
SONNY What is going on here Angie?
ANGIE I never knew Kierain fancied me.
SONNY I'll ring Kierian's neck. He will need not just a wheelchair but a talking machine like Stephen Hawking when I have finished with him.
DOUG Touch him and you are dead.
ANGIE How dare you Sonny.
HENRY Can we all calm down.
DOUG Keep out of this Henry this is between us.
ANGIE Sonny you cruel man.

Bradley Townsend runs in.

HENRY Get out of here you are too young.
BRADLEY Shut up you lanky curly haired man there has been an accident. Kierain is involved.
DOUG What?
BRADLEY He drove into the back of a semi trailer.
SONNY Good. Hope he died.

Angie slaps Sonny.

ANGIE We are finished Sonny. Bradley where is he?

Henry has called an ambo.

BRADLEY On North Avenue, just off Ramsay Street.
