Homeandawayfan. Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Seems Lucy is still carrying on the crime aspect with the Ashford's. I dont think we will see a marked improvement until Lucy leaves. Some predict the 5 year producer role but some producers have left after just 3 or 4 years, Des Monaghan, Andrew Howie, who Lucy can never come close to. Lets hope we do get a new producer soon.
Dan F Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 I thought Dan Bennett was producer now?He's the Series Script Executivehttp://www.backtothebay.net/news/2015/06/11/louise-bowes-moves-dan-bennett-returns/
cadyctslover Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 I thought Dan Bennett was producer now?He is Series Script Executive, replacing Louise Bowes. Lucy Addario is still Series Producer with overall control of the content, and we probably won't see a marked improvement until she leaves. Having said that, during Cameron Welsh's reign 2007-2011 we saw a number of different Series Script Executives (what used to be known as Script Producer). The quality of the program during that time was highly dependent on the Script Producer. As I've said, I am willing to give Dan Bennett quite a long bedding-in process, he has his work cut out to return the quality to the storylining and writing.
Homeandawayfan. Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 I do occasionally dip in to a scene and find nothing has changed, the show is very cold and heartless. One dimensional characters like Maddie, Phoebe, Billie and Ash dominating the show. I tend to switch over after a minute. This has to be the worst period in the shows history, a time where the show is so far removed from its roots. Lucy Addario has totally ruined my fave childhood show.
Gerard Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I do occasionally dip in to a scene and find nothing has changed, the show is very cold and heartless. One dimensional characters like Maddie, Phoebe, Billie and Ash dominating the show. I tend to switch over after a minute.I agree, that's exactly how it feels at the moment, cold and heartless. H&A looks great at a superficial level. The interior sets are well lit, and the exterior shots are saturated as far as they'd dare. Likewise some of the storylines are hyped up as exciting - "The Bay will never be the same again" etc. but you don't have to dig very deep to find there isn't much substance below. Apart from maybe John and Marilyn, I don't think there is a relationship you can really believe in, maybe Leah and Zac, but that's it. Many of the new characters feel like carbon copies of each other, and they are just thrown into random relationships as soon as they unpack their suitcase. We never really learn about their backstory, until inevitably some family member or ex-partner arrives with some hidden agenda of revenge for something that has never been mentioned before, then they disappear after their 2 week guest stint, then it's all forgotten within a week.H&A used to ooze romance, charm, sentimentality and nostalgia. Hopefully some day, it will again.
TelephotoMarigold Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Marilyn and John is one of the reasons I don't watch. To me it feels as though they killed of Gina just to hook up this pairing.

Sonia Todd wanted to leave. Didn't say she didn't want to leave. I just expressed what the pairing of John and Marilyn felt like to me.
