Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

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 .

I am sure  'I was distracted'  wouldn't be accepted as an excuse over here for killing someone on the road,  but still I am not surprised by the responses  just wonder what the reaction would have been if that was a Braxton driving.  No wonder Sophie felt like getting rid of him, he was saying he loved her and that they would get back together,  whilst all the time he was chasing  Hannah  and wittering on to Ricky  about her - don't blame her.  Am just waiting  to my favourite character have a happy departure, then like many others am finished with the bay -  shame have watched for a long time and really enjoyed it,  but its just not worth the effort now

Yes but it was just utterly ridiculous.One minute he's desperate to get her back to the hospital, to the point of putting other people's lives at risk, the next he just walks away from her with a cold and dismissive "Stay there", as if he's completely forgotten how vulnerable and unstable she is.

I thought they were last year but now it's obvious that they don't have a clue what the show should be or what the long-term audience wants.

I think it made it better, he left her to check on the hurt and damaged. That's what any real doctor would do

Sophie was insane long before, trying to drive on him before

Nate admitted he had cheated on her long before they came to the bay which was partly the cause of her being unbalanced, plus how did she get hold of the prescription drugs she was supposed to have taken.  I don't see how  him letting her take the blame for the accident helped her at all, she was not in control of the vehicle he was and you don't need to be a brain surgeon to know how to use a brake - yes she did need help but he gave her far more problems  than help.
