Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

15/20 years ago crimes in Summer Bay went punished. Now crimes go unpunished. Take Andy Barrett for example. The Braxtons have a long list of crimes which went unpunished. I suppose all soaps seem to have that now, take Cain Dingle, Paul Robinson and Phil Mitchell.

You left Janine Butcher and Kim Tate out. Those two bitches ducked the Karma bus!

I mean I know Kane was even punished. Before he went on the Run.

Not really.Having got away with a load of stuff he did do, he got convicted of something he didn't do but went on the run before he was sentenced.He did later get sentenced to nine years for something he did do, but got let out after just a few months, around the time that the rot that allows characters to do whatever the heck they like without any real consequences if they're popular enough really set in.

Yes just like the person who drove a car one handed straight into the path of an oncoming coach, resulting into the death of one man and life threatening injuries to two others.  The same 'respected' individual who let his mentally ill wife take the  blame (her illness no doubt partly due to his womanising) whilst he got  away scot free, not even a reprimand for dangerous driving - but then that's alright as it wasn't a Braxton.

Who drove a car into a coach?

Nate.

Nate, instead of stopping the car and dealing with Sophie like any normal person,  he drove one handed into the path of the on coming coach making the driver swerve and the coach rolled.  As a result the driver died and Leah/Kyle were badly injured.

He didn't do that on purpose, it was Sophie's fault for distracting him

Nate did badly screw up in that situation: It's easy to say in retrospect what he should have done but he made a massively bad call by going to see Sophie on his own, nearly getting himself killed and ultimately getting someone else killed.And he did seem to have time to stop the car rather than just ploughing on regardless.(The fact that he promptly abandons Sophie after the crash made his actions even more ridiculous.)It did seem like he should be held more accountable than he was.But I think we forget about it because it was a single isolated incident, whereas for characters with the surname Braxton and others that's pretty much their permanent lifestyle, causing death and havoc and then walking away unscathed.

I think I would abandon the person who tried to set me on fire too.

SO has the answer to the Original Question been answered? Are the current producers ruining Home and Away? I would say they were, but they are attempting to Rectify things. But Rome was not built in a day, or a year as the case maybe .
