Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

We do have John and Maz fostering Jett and the odd ref but usually they are few and far between. As said, the characters just are all random, they are not part of a family unit, Kyle, Andy and Josh were bought in as part of Braxtonfest and they are still around even after many of the Braxtons have left. Lucy Addario would be great producing a show like Underbelly or even a official spin off of H&A called The Braxtons. Then she can have crimes, fires, drug wars, bombings to he hearts content.

I guess you could argue. Irene is fostering haha. Or Roo with Maddy and Matt lol. But yeah John was the only last one. Not sure Lucy deserves all the hate. If the Audiece didn't respond to the Braxtons then well thing's would hv been different. Or she should of introduced them sporadically. But alas.

Maddy & Spencer weren't fostered.They ran away to be together and ended up with Roo but it's not the same thing at all.They weren't in need and had decent homes.What made it even more ridiculous is that they broke up not long after.

The same thing with Maddy, Matt and Roo.They're literally just housemates.Roo has no responsibility for them at all.

John and Mazz are the current foster careers but only when it suits them which is rarely.It definitely needs to be a bigger focus point.

Well, Irene has literally never fostered anyone.She just seems to grab any passing teenager and move them in with her and no-one questions it.Olivia is one of the worst frankly, running away to Irene on a whim and Irene deciding to keep her instead of telling her to grow up and go home.(They did try and add a bit more depth to it eventually but by then it was too little too late.Certainly she had a more likable responsible family member than Maddy and Spencer did.And yes, Maddy and Spencer were very like Shannon and Curtis, although they were proper foster children.)It's been the same with everyone that's lived with Irene, from Selina through to Belle through to Sasha and Spencer, so it's nothing new to have teenagers who actually have reasonably acceptable families to be "fostered".It seemed like Leah was being set up as someone who would take in waifs and strays when Matt came to live with her but that's kind of fizzled out so now she's just got her family there.

Irene, Roo or whoever else decides to foster on a whim doesn't hold a candle to the originals who fostered in the 80s and 90s, the Fletchers. I never bought Alf & Ailsa fostering, and I think it should have remained as only the Fletchers/Rosses who fostered and then another generation could have taken over fostering down the track with appearances from Pippa every so often.

Having said that, Selina was great with Irene, but I'm glad she doesn't decide to foster in the end, just offers them a place to stay. I guess I'll never get my wish of one of Pippa's foster kids taking over Summer Bay House again, unless it's Sally, she seems to be put on a pedestal, but I think Kate has put her permanent Home and Away days behind her.

Yeah I already agreed it wasn't an official foster, but I was saying I don't think it should just be dismissed completely.

Well this fostering thing with Irene and Roo, sure it wasn't official legal fostering that went through the process, but in all practical senses, it's quite similar, so I don't think it's fair to just dismiss it as not counting at all.

In the early days of Irene sure but not recently.Sorry but kids in need and bratty teenagers are not the same thing.
