The info alluded to above was given to us direct from Bevan Lee to include in our Martha and Merv profiles: https://www.backtothebay.net/characters/baldivis_mervin/

Been watching the early years allot recently, it's definitely written better them the current show. The couples are written so much better from 1988 to about 2008. Some things I realised watching this time around Shane and Angel are actually quite toxic together and they aren't suited, he had more chemistry with Shannon and they would of been a better couple and Angel was with Simon. The more and more I watch the more I hate Michael and hate how he was written in, they moved Pippa on with him in such a rush and sometimes it honestly felt like Michael was forcing her into things when she didn't want to, a key example was when she broke up with him and he forced her to get back together and engaged. Tom and Pippa will always be endgame for me. Nev and Floss were robbed they deserved better and should of been in the show longer, I do love that Floss came back in later years. Ben was toxic and high key an abusive partner to Carly, like I have so many alarm bells about that relationship. How the hell they ended up together and stayed together I have no idea particularly when Ben treated Carly like crap. Carly should of ended up with Matt, would been a better exit for them both.

If they do, they should roll out lesser repeated ones

As per our location page, the council gave word that they planned to demolish in September 1988, whereas Celia took over on-screen in October 1988 - the delay between filming and TX at that point was around two months, so they probably wouldn't have known when scripting it.

I know, I hold my hands up, I've slapped wrist and stood in the corner.

Tane did used to live there (since 2020), but had moved out to the farmhouse back in January after the split from Flick.
