Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

We just need more laughs to be honest.

I agree, there isn't much to laugh at in current storylines (at UK Pace at least). H&A did used to do some of the funniest comedy I've seen on TV. I did actually get a few laughs out of today's episode, but this was dragged down again by Hannah's storyline.There is always someone unhappy, or cheating or lying, and misery is just around the corner. Often when a character announces they are happy, just just know disaster is an episode or two away. Or if comedy is a step too far, how about at least an optimistic happy storyline or two?

Screw Hannah.

I was paying more attention to the Teens in today's ep. Oscar IS a lightweight. (Stick to Fruit Juice/Soda)!

I can safely say Lucy Addario has overtaken Susan Bower as the worst Aussie soap producer ever. I cannot see any big change until she leaves even though Dan Bennett is improving the show a little.

They need to revamp the show and go back to the basics on what the show is about - Fostering kids. I have been watching the early years and its amazing. the storylines and characters keep me tuned in. The current show has neither. Irene seems like a completely different person compared to the early years character. Emmerdale has really good storylines and characters. I love watching that show. It's not all about 'hot people' and they have characters who are unique and interesting to watch. Not models who cannot act like in Home and Away. Home and Away has a 20 year history but its being rubbished by the state of the current show. They need new writers and new ideas. Bring back older characters and revamp the whole show. Many actresses/actors such as Dannii Minogue would love to make a guest appearance in the show but the show completely ignores it. Having Emma (Dannii's character) back in the bay could give really good storylines for Alf related to Alisa. It's hard to imagine its been like 15 years since Alisa died. Where are Irene's kids? What about the baby she was surrogate for, for Finn? He would be about 18 now. What about Alf's son Duncan?

The children from the 90s would be teens or in their 20s or 30s now.

I want the Hunter/Hyde babies SORASed and brought back as one fantastic teen group. I can't think of any reason it would conceivably happen, what with two of them living in other countries, but I WANT it. 

Noah, Ella, Archie, and maybe Ric and Mattie have had a kid in the meantime that no one's mentioned. They'd be unstoppable! 

A spin-off series of the same would also be acceptable.

Actually that could work.  It would be a great way to establish a connection with the show's history which could believably exist in the current format of the show.

I've been watching the show at Aus pace now and again since Dan started and now I'm actually finding myself enjoying it more and more.

There's still a lot more to be done, but there are some different personalities on the show now, and it doesn't feel solely focussed on just one group of characters.

Home and Away ain't that bad. Don't See any difference from 15 years ago. Its better since it stopped being so Braxton centric. I think the obvious rehashing of storylines is obvious.

And what's up with Phoebe? Breaks up with Kyle because she didn't want kids. But "accidentally" gets pregnant, but with Ash now realizes she wants to be a mother. Oh that's not convenient to storyline lol.

And getting annoyed how nosey Marilyn is seriously. Overall its watchable.

Home and Away 15 years ago was a show that was moving forward but not forgetting its past.
