Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

Well you only have to look at Kyle and Casey. To see well meaning characters getting happiness in Home and Away, that used to be the thing in the show, no longer exists I mean how many Crimes did Brax commit? And how many times did he get away with it? Poor Casey did nothing really, and died. Kyle was well meaning too, and he gets half his life in Jail. Brax also basically killed Charlie, and ruined Ruby's life lol. Sorry the guy is a Typical Mary Louise character.

Jake killed Charlie, not Brax. Ruby ruined her own life, only herself is to blame for that..

Not really Brax being in Charlie's life led to Jake killing Charlie. Charlie's Death, spiralled Rubys life out of control. Brax may of not shot Charlie, but he loaded the gun far as I am concernded.

That's to stupid, he couldn't know Jake would kill her. That's like blaming Zac for Hannah and Oscars because he introduced Tank again

Heath is actually the one who brough Jake into the picture.

I agree. I think Ruby should have been seen to cop for Dexter's accident.

Brax brought Charlie into the picture. He brought her into his world so she fell in love with him without knowing what he was and she died because of it. Ruby messed up but she had her reasons and, unlike many of the current characters, she accepted the consequences of what she'd done.(Even if we don't know what they are.I like to think not much, given that characters who actually kill someone apparently don't have to deal with the consequences these days.)

Yes she accepted the consequences. And in a way that was good, but in an another way it wasn't enough for me, because the situation was more complex than Ruby suddenly cutting the brakes of that car.

Ruby was out of control several times before Charlie died, because of what happened to her; loosing mother, finding out that she was a result of a rape and her sister was her real mother, her sister/mother killing her real father, loosing her father/granddad... And the people around didn't support her. We were made to believe that it was ok to betray Ruby because she was "desperate for love" and was easy to hurt. And that is wrong. Leah, Brax, Romeo and Indi's actions led to Ruby falling apart, they pushed her over the edge. And the writers made them look innocent because they were so right for each other, and it was totally ok for Leah to fancy Brax and not care about Ruby's feelings after Charlie's death, because Brax was so sexy... The storyline about Charlie's death was more about Brax, a guy that she just had seen for a few months than her daughter/sister who had lost her whole family..We should at least have seen some remorse from the involved, but Ruby was just sent away like she was a ruthless criminal. 

The storyline about Stu and Sasha and the Walkers was also like that. Yes, Stu abused Sasha a few times and that is terribly wrong, but what Sid did to Stu was far worse.  And the writers wanted us to believe that they were the victims in all that stuff and Stu deserved to be beaten half to death and later die... but they weren't the victims. Stu was. There were a lot of witness that saw Stu slap Sasha (just slapped her...), and he could have easily gone to the police. And then Stu could have gone to jail instead and probably also get some help to get away from his much more abusive father. 

Such things have destroyed H&A over and over again for me, and that isn't something new.

And I feel that I am going to feel about the same about the explosion and Tank/Andy/caravan park/Roo when it finally airs here.

Still he can't be blamed for her death, no one can predict things like that happening

[Red Ranger 1]

The way Brax lived his life it was inevitable. Brax even knew that, saying that if they didn't get out of the criminal world they'd end up dead.And some of them did.

I agree with everything you have written here. Unsurprisingly these shoddy storylines debuted during Louise Bowes' tenure as Script Producer. She set the show into a downward spiral of sloppy storylines, poor characterisation, and character assassination.
