Jay Preston Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 It's a matter of opinion. I like them both a lot and see obvious differences. Superficially they are quite similar though. And I have to say that while I'm a Home and Away supporter all the way, I don't think it's fair to say that Neighbours copies Home and Away.
Hellboy Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 I think Amanda can be quite a two dimensional villain somtimes, whereas Izzy seems more like a realistic character, but that doesn't mean I don't equally enjoy watching Amanda's antics and evil schemes. If there is any repitition of storyline between the two, then I think they're both as bad as each other IMO.

Izzy has been in Neighbours for ages scheming, so if anything Home and Away has copied Neighbours by adding someone like Izzy but worse into the storyline. It is clear Amanda appeared in Home and Away ages after Izzy came into Neighbours.
starrychris Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Comparing Izzy and Amanda is just stupid. So what there is an evil-ish character on both shows. That doesn't mean they stole the Amanda idea from Neighbours. Geeez.
Jay Preston Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Superficially they are similar (both beautiful, young, scheming, evil), but really they don't strike me as all that similar, in the way that they scheme and how far they are willing to go. Even the nature of their motivations is quite different. I don't know, I see lots of similarities between Home and Away and Neighbours, but whether or not they are copies is a big call. I think like Amanda and Izzy are superficially similar, many storylines and characters between Home and Away are superficially similar. However, let's make one thing clear. Nothing at all Timmins-like is ever allowed to appaul the sets of Home and Away. Ick.
TabbyCool Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 I used to watch Neighbours as religiously as I watch H&A, until a year or 2 ago. I got really sick of Neighbours, it just seemed to get really crap and I felt like I was just watching it for the sake of it, whereas I watch H&A because I actually enjoy it. Neighbours shouldn't be axed as long as there are enough viewers to make it worthwhile. I don't know if it has improved at all since I last watched it, but I can't ever see me bothering to watch it again. Once you've given up on a show, it seems a bit pointless going back after missing so much. Also, I've got better things to do with my time than watch TV. The only show I watch every episode of is H&A. I don't really watch much TV, I like to watch the Simpsons and stuff like that, but I don't watch other soaps and only really watch dramas and stuff when we go to my fiance's mam's house, she loves stuff like CSI, so I watch that when I'm there.
Nic Chick Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 a lot of people really nieghbours so it would be unfair to all the nieghbours fans to have it axed it would be like home and away being axed and all the home and away fans would hate that so i dont think it should be axed and if people really dont like nieghbours why dont they just stop complaining and watch something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drew Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Comparing Izzy and Amanda is just stupid. So what there is an evil-ish character on both shows. That doesn't mean they stole the Amanda idea from Neighbours. Geeez. For all we know, Neighbours could of copied Izzy from Angie.
Nathan Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Yea... that's a possibility. I wouldn't compare Amanda to Izzy... it's just the storylines that are similar, not the characters. Like someone said above, Amanda is evil bad... Izzy is realistic bad.
Drew Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Amanda is more evil though, she left Graham there to die to get his money. I don't think Izzy will do that to Paul though
