Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

If only Charlotte confessed right away.

Yes, but the situation was badly handled from Denny's murder. It was swept under the carpet. It feels like people think that killing off Charlotte was far worse than killing off Denny and that criminal. Denny's only crime was being a dull character. Kat didn't arrest Charlotte straight away either, and that is the reason why everything got out of hand. 

Denny's murder was not swept under the carpet, it's just that no-one knew it had happened.I really don't like this suggestion that Charlotte killing Denny and Trystan was wrong but Andy killing Jake and Josh killing Charlotte are A-OK.It just seems to be favouritism, that because someone gets a load of cute and tender scenes with their family (because...Charlotte didn't love her family?) they've somehow got a license to kill and get away with it.Josh killed Charlotte by accident while trying to stop her exposing his brother's crimes, Charlotte killed Denny by accident while trying to stop her exposing her son's crime.Andy killed Jake after he kidnapped and threatened his brother, Charlotte killed Trystan after he kidnapped and threatened his son.Yet the show acts as though Charlotte was irredeemable and deserved to die rather than being given a fair trial, while Josh and Andy should be just let go because they're lovely.Kat arrested Charlotte straight away, with no evidence, and was told to let her go because you need evidence to arrest someone. Once she had that evidence, she went out and tried to arrest her again but Josh got to her first.She had evidence against Josh, she had a full confession, but she lets him go because the world revolves against Evie? Utterly pathetic and an appalling message to send out.

But Charlotte and Jake was evil while Denny was innocent. Big difference

I wish the dialogue or the conversation between characters would be less boring. I don't mean to be rude about the writers for the current show, I'm sure they know more about writing than me. But it so dull to listen. Maybe because the style of it is so storyline lead leaving little space for any character voice to come through but it's also the language used. It used to be far more colourful and varied between each character. I really find it hard to watch now without my mind wondering. I just want the writing to be more engaging.

I don't recall the reason people here are ok with Josh and Andy doing bad things is because they like eachother? And I think the difference with me is I don't necessarily care if a cold blooded murderer is killed. I don't condone it or condemn it, I'm just indifferent.

I will say in all honesty Jake had it coming (but Andy should swing for it too, totally).

This is one of the reasons I find the current format more boring than it should be. Doesn't matter how many bombs, drugs, murders, explosions - it feels like the writers are out of touch with real humans and real Australians these days. Every time I watch it now it feels like I'm watching glossy actors (who've been through hair and makeup) acting rather than real people living in a seaside town and that's entirely down to the casting, the way they dress the characters, how they tell the stories, the types of stories they tell and how each individual character is written. If they all talk to each other the same way there's little variety it's just boring to watch.

H&A is now as far from reality as a soap can be.

Like ever other soap in the universe. Scripted shows are never realistic

Unfortunately, Neighbours is.
