Luke39 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 I mean tbh how different woiuld the show be if Brax and The River Boys never arrived in 2010? I mean they brought interest back into the show. SO love or hate them, for the change in format, if your a tradational fan. Does not change this. Home and Away right now, is no different then it was in 2010ish before Braxtons. SO I don't think it is neccessarily because its Post Braxtons, or they ruined the show. Show would of been no different without them. IT just shed a harsh light on what was always their, a core fundamental issue in writing and balance.

The pendulum has swung back in the right direction but i wouldn't go that far.
CaptainHulk Posted August 1, 2016 Report Posted August 1, 2016 2009, the show was hit-and-miss after a great 2008. In fact me and the Year 2009 outside of Home and Away, weren't the best of friends. The Lost plot/WTF period spiralled into 2010 (though we had Miles steadying the ship, mercifully) H&A should just split into two shows one for early evening, the other for late. And the Braxtons were alright to begin with it's just by late 2013/early 2014, I began to get sick of them and their repetitive crime problems (Just like whenever Phil goes back on the bottle in EE).
Blaxland 89 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 It's bizarre watching Neighbours at the minute. Sophie, Scott, Spencer, Martha. More Home and Away characters I recognise than in Home and Away itself. I'm not convinced by the new police woman much. She looks like a stripper in a police woman's costume rather than a really police woman.

Blaxland 89 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 Sorry. That last comment was meant for uk discussion. I just tuned in and saw the police woman.
CaptainHulk Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 IMO, I like Jodi more as Elly than I ever did as Martha.
Gerard Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Just posting about Alf in another discussion made me wonder what is it that keeps people watching? Is it a certain character or characters, is it the scenery, the storylines or just out of habit? Do people love the show as it is, or are mainly watching in the hope it gets better. To answer my own questions, I've watched basically every episode since it began, so there is a force of habit there. It was the sunny, upbeat, fairly relaxed lifestyles in a beautiful setting that probably attracted me to the show, and of course the family-based storylines used to be good, along with some great drama which stopped short of being OTT and a mix of humour. Nowadays I mainly watch to follow the long-term characters, like Alf, Marilyn, Irene, Leah. If those four characters were all to leave, I might well consider it time to give up watching, unless TPTB brought in some really top quality characters to replace them (and I'm not sure that is likely to happen).
Old H&A Fan Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Home And Away has been stretched well beyond its use-by date. Can you imagine trying to catch up on 30 year's worth of episodes? Why can't they axe Home And Away and replace it with a new series under a different name. The Early Years episodes have far more value in them and should be given a repeat run world-wide.

I can watch this show decades and never get tired
