I liked her at first - she seemed kind of fun, sassy etc. I don't really like the way she's going about her 'revenge' plot, although I guess I do sympathise with her in a way and can understand why she might be angry. I hope we see more of the side that we saw in the first few episodes again.

I don't get why they never had her befriend Jasmine. I get they're very different but seem similar-ish in age.

I wonder too as they haven't mentioned the investigation in ages or even really shown much of the police department. Surely something will have to come up eventually?

Raining ? yet also quite humid. You wouldn't think its June!

I love them so far and find them a much better fit than Brody/Ziggy. I also always loved their friendship/work scenes.

I think Bob Morley may have left before his contract was up? I'm not sure if he was on a 3 year contract originally, but he did quit after about a year and half, saying he felt uncomfortable and like a 'meat puppet'. Apparently Ashleigh Brewster was offered to extend her 6 month contract but declined, which I was quite shocked about as she didn't seem that popular amongst viewers? I guess sometimes they will offer an extension more based on what storylines they have to offer them and not popularity? I know sometimes people have wanted to extend their contract after the 3 years but have been written out as well. I think Matt Little said it was H&A's choice for him to go when he did.

Seven has most of the control over H&A, but Five does pump some money into it and work with the show on certain storylines. (Although as H&A is a lot bigger in Aus they don't rely on the money/contract as much as Neighbours does) They have a lifetime deal in place. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/home-and-away/a871215/home-and-away-christmas-break-2018/

I'm kind of surprised they haven't.

I'm actually quite liking Jasmine at the moment, now that I didn't think she was a great actress before but do think she's improved a lot since the beginning as well, I guess since she's getting more interesting storylines now.

I can't remember - I think she did some fast track teaching course and started out as an aide but don't know if they mentioned her doing a degree? Just that Maggie thought she'd be a good fit due to her marketing experience and that she'd been a lecturer? There was Miles, Sid, Harvey, James...James was a few years ago though and I don't think she's had any romantic storylines since.

I agree but she's only been back a few days so hopefully they do have a storyline lined up for her. I think the issue is is that a lot of the long-running actors have quite a few (seemingly long) breaks. I guess there's always the possibility of her developing more of a relationship with Martha if she comes back? Or they could give her another love interest.

I think it'd be nice if the budget allowed it, and would be a nice change of pace. Like how Neighbours will sometimes film around Melbourne and show the city and street art.

I think its this one (not sure if I got the episode right)

Yeah I find the 'long lost sibling' storylines a bit repetitive as well tbh. I feel like it would've made more sense for her to be a cousin or something with no where else to go, and for them to have taken her in for that reason. I also miss the family bond and how close they all were.

I loved Raffy but they're ruining her lately. I understand she has epilepsy and is frustrated, but its like she's taking it out on everyone and not being very appreciate of everyone's support. I feel like the old Raffy would've had more faith in herself that she could still succeed at school.

I loved Brendan. I thought Kain did a great job and although I get maybe he wouldn't have worked as a regular, I thought he was a great character. It'd be nice if the show had another disabled character that actually remained that way...not necessarily autism again, but something where they're not going to be miraculously cured within a few months.

I used to find him a bit annoying in the beginning but he's my favourite Morgan at the moment.

I loved Olivia as she had some great storylines - the Tabitha stuff and self-harming/abuse - Raechelle did a fantastic job with both of them. I will say I started to dislike her a bit towards the end. I felt the cheating (especially to further/keep her career - she spent so long being determined to do it all herself and not ask for help) was kind of out of character for her, and the way she reacted afterwards, basically ignoring everyone's advice because she didn't want to 'hurt' Hunter...I mean we saw how upset she got when Hunter disappeared and kissed that girl after Charlotte was found dead. I would've preferred them to break up organically - like Olivia realising she wanted to move to Melbourne on her own to focus fully on herself/her career, and encouraging Hunter to stay in uni and not give up his own dreams for her.

I think Indi had a lot of wasted potential as she never had any major storylines outside of Romeo. On her own she was a bit bland and even when he left, her last few months on the show were still kind of centred around him.

It was defo contrived. I think they were somehow hoping Jason would change his mind about coming back for a guest stint (since he didn't want to do the 30th anniversary in 2015), but wouldn't so they sloppily edited old clips to made it seem Kim and Paul actually interacted back then. They didn't do a DNA test either. ?

I'm warming up to him recently which is a surprise as he used to be my least favourite Morgan. The only time I liked him other than recently was when Scarlett was around as she was the only relationship of his I actually invested in.

I found it quite difficult to buy their relationship with the constant arguing over whats right and wrong, and them breaking things off then being back on again. I'm not surprised she left. I didn't dislike her though. I wonder if they're going to make reference to her at all in the future? I know they have a bit but I mean if she'll send a letter or voicemail or something, as I can't see them bringing her back.

I loved her in the beginning and I love her relationship with her family now, but I think she became a bit boring thanks to her marriage to Brody. I'd like to see her get an interesting storyline of her own and maybe even go off the rails a bit now. I mean she is only young and that was one of the issues they had - she wanted to enjoy herself and be carefree like others her age. I think Sophie is a great actress though, she's been fab with the Brody/Simone stuff and the aftermath of it all.

I didn't warm to Ash at all. I don't think he was a bad person but was just so hot-headed all the time, basically expecting violence or yelling to fix everything. I agree that him going after Robbo was incredibly stupid and reckless - its not as if he was the one to crash into her and even then, it was an accident and Kat was the one driving. Another thing I didn't like was when he wanted custody of Luc. I get she's his niece and he had lost his sister, but it was like he was trying to force her on Kat even though she didn't want kids, and VJ wanted to be involved as a dad but was just a bit overwhelmed at the time. I'm glad that she went with him and not Ash.

I didn't like her early on with the gambling, relationship with Justin etc but I really like her now. I think she's matured a lot and is kind of like the motherly one out of their little trio, trying to look out for them.
