@English Invader Not at Channel 5 pace they didn't ?

I did find that funny. Also found it strangely satisfying that they acknowledged it was the first time Dean had set foot in that house (presuming it actually was and there wasn't a previous occasion that's been forgotten) - with John's first reaction being to warn Dean not to touch anything ?

March 2005 in the UK were episodes that aired in Oz from the end of July 2004. The siege at Leah's when Noah died aired in the UK on 25th March (fun fact, that aired exactly 16 years ago today in Oz). The hidden cameras were installed into Irene's by Tasha's father, the millionaire Ian Osbourne. You're right in remembering the Silent Night performance (June 2005 in the UK), that was the 2004 season finale where Australian Idol star Paulini attended the opening of Noah's bar, and then went around to Summer Bay House for little Pippa's christening gathering. Off the top of my head, other storylines in those last couple of months of the 2004 season included the departures of Rhys, Max and Dani Sutherland, Alf reuniting with his first love Viv (who Dani had known as 'The Guv' in prison) and discovering that she'd given birth to his child (with Ric Dalby being his grandchild), Kane discovering he had testicular cancer, and Vinnie returning for VJ's birthday disguised in a bear costume.

No they both came back to town in Tane's car - Tane dropped Nik off outside the bait shop before going around to the Morgan House to drop off Grace. There was no mention of what happened to Tori's car or whether it had been found. They're driving up to Cairns to see Coco and are flying to Italy from there. ?

It was a grip exerciser ?

Hello again Franco ? That one is 'Another Light' by Jude

She wasn't cleared, she was found guilty of assaulting Tommy and received a good behaviour bond. Even if she had been cleared, she would have had to make an application to have them removed, it's not automatic.

Constable Risotto Mk II I'd like to think her name is Angela. Certainly not the first time they're reused the name badges - we had a Constable P Corelli pop up in recent years too ?

For anyone who wants to hear Evan's song for Ryder again, it's been released by Cameron Daddo as a single and on a new EP Links to stream/buy, and to watch the music video featuring Cameron and Lukas, are in the article below: https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/07/09/home-and-away-spoilers-evan-performs-an-emotional-song-for-ryder/

Yes they were right in the thick of it in these eps. Although Kawa shared it more recently, when masks became even more topical, this pic was taken when they were filming for the ep airing tomorrow on C5. The scene in question:

Those darn boxes....

Yes it was to abseil down it was it not? I believe that was actually the first time the show had made the trek up there. Other than that the only times I can think of off the top of my head are when Indi and Romeo spent the night up there on the eve of his unexpected departure, and the climax of the Robbo/Ash chase in the opening week of 2018. Up until around seven years ago the access trail wasn't suitable for any sort of vehicle, so access for filming would have been tricky. I remember they were doing some renovation work on one of my visits and the building supplies were being ferried up by helicopter.

Not off-topic at all ? Do you mean this one? It's actually supposed to be Roo, and it's one of Martha's. Roo brought it back with her after her first trip to see Martha in her hometown back in 2018. Not sure if it immediately made it onto the wall, but it's been there a fair while.

It's the other way around, the door next to the kitchen that Mackenzie went out of is indeed the back door as @c120701 originally deduced ? Though it's H&A, so there'll always be occasions where characters do use the least logical exit to leave a house! I've looked through Friday's ep and I can't say that I've seen any continuity errors in regards to characters approaching one door on the exterior and entering the opposite door on the set though - it's all made sense to me so far. Nik didn't leave the house to check out the pool, he went out the front door to get his stuff from Marilyn's, Ari then left out the same door and we followed them out to the front. They did the same thing in reverse when Nik came back, and we didn't actually see Nik and Tane leave the house to go play footy, they were just there in the next scene after the Oz ad break. I think the main question that some will start to ask in coming weeks is "Where's Gemma's bedroom in this four bedroom house...?" ? Again an all too common occurence in the show! Yep he was there, remember he proposed to Martha at the vigil for Mason & Robbo on the beach.

Top right is as you said, and the top left is Robbo, Ian and Wendy with Grace. ?

A few new character profiles over the past week: Lauren, Sophia & Lucas Shaw (Robbo's deceased family) Jody Walker (Sid's ex-wife and Indi & Dex's mum) Alex Neilson And 20 years to the day since her first appearance, Sandy King is today's addition.

I was waiting for that too. I know there's others who have disagreed and criticised his running away, but I really felt for Nik through those eps. Particularly when he came face to face with Colby, and then struggled to hold it together when he realised Colby didn't blame him after all. Nik and Gemma, and their relationship, are great additions in my opinion.

'Intoxicate Me' by Songs to Your Eyes ?

Yesterday's evening episode on 5STAR aired on Channel 5 today.

A long overdue profile for Ailsa Stewart has now been added, big thanks to @Red Ranger 1 for his work on that! As a related but minor bonus, the location of Ailsa's Childhood Home from 2000 has also been added.

There's also some background on both Ethan and Tane in the 'Meet the Paratas' article we put up a couple of months ago for those interested: https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/03/04/uk-home-and-away-spoilers-meet-the-paratas/

Those couple of typos have been corrected. In related news, all current profiles have recently been updated to the end of 2019, with a new profile for Mackenzie Booth. Thanks to @Red Ranger 1 again for sorting those!

Yup, just to confirm as it wasn't explicitly stated in the statement (just like the removal of the 6pm showing wasn't stated) - their mention of usual timeslots does include the evening showing being reinstated. So back to business as usual.... for now at least.

Home and Away (as well as Neighbours) will return to five eps per week on Channel 5 on Monday 11th May. https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/04/29/home-and-away-neighbours-to-return-to-5-episodes-per-week-in-uk/ Which does thankfully mean that the blocks will be back in sync (Monday episodes on a Monday etc.)
