CaptainHulk Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 If they can make Andy and Ash go away, I'd be somewhat happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexx Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Its pretty clichie to say oh Brax left that is why the shows improoving lol. But it is true. His character brought the bulk of all the crime driven stories. Since his character left, the community feel has returned, because it is more integrated.To a degree I think that is true but only because he was the catalyst. It was the poor writing, bland stories, lack of attention to detail (the list goes on) that was dragging the show down because all of the attention was going to The River Boys. Now that Brax has gone the producers have had to face the consequences of neglecting the rest of the characters and straying too far away from what I consider to be the 'real' H&A and as a result they lost a lot of viewers (both fans of the River Boys era who have now stopped watching and the more traditional H&A viewers who stopped during The River Boys era).Now they seem to be trying to put the jigsaw back together after a few years of sabotage (over the top I know ) and so it's about looking at why the show was successful for the 20+ years before it became Braxton Bay and I can tell that they are trying to make that effort. Unfortunately they messed around with the format so dramatically that I think it's going to take a long time to fix it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I Said Rome wasen't built in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer101 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I still don't think Kyle needs to leave though. Even though he's a Braxton brother, since the others aren't there, he's not having like 10 villains come after him, there isn't a sense of danger with him being in the bay.

Luke39 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Kyle was like an extension of Brax and co. Their has been pretty much zero sense of danger with his character. He almost has his own identity, which is why ive always liked Kyle. Have no problem with them keeping him far away from those two lol, finding some new friends, gf and actually see him.smiling for once haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I am finding myself more tolerant to H&A right now. Cook during Neighbours, eat during the end of Neighbours and the 15 minute commercial break inbetween then wash up during H&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 H&A has moments where it's like "This ain't too bad" or "The hell with this, I'll watch it later". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadyctslover Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I found it impossible to watch throughout 2014 and up to mid-2015, but now it's very watchable. Not back to its best but in far better shape.To me it's very clear that Louise Bowes was incredibly damaging to the show. I think the lack of personality in the show is largely down to her work.

c120701 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've also noticed that we're seeing more of the Beach House and Irene has actually found her way out of the Diner, which is great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
