Luke39 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yeah I agree with the notion, the current format of H and A exists, due to the times and the climate changing. I am not saying they need to abandon family drama. I agree their needs to be a balance. But majority of the audience clearly love the danger, and action the Braxtons brought. OR they woulden't of been so popular in the first place. OF course if your a nostalgic, you diddn't like what they brought, but just saying majority of the audience clearly did. But personally their is nothing wrong with the current format, I personally feel, it is almost 2001 home and away atm. But that is just my personal opinion. IT is 2016, things change. So I like the show in terms of set designs, feels like your watching a show in 2016. Neighbours kinda bores me lol, sorry. I see no issue with the current Home and Away, it's doing pretty good. But that is just my opinion. As for thriller music tone, well if they are trying to set a dangerous scene. The Telletubbies theme song prob is not going to be appropriate lol. But I do get the point, about the music being too harsh in tone. ATM their are some great characters. Not sure where UK Pace is at, so possible spoiler Spoiler The Morgans, partic Brody I have really enjoyed. Kinda like the Braxtons, but not so much drama they brought. And they have integrated into the community better. SO their is still that community feel to the show. And also the new young teen characters of Raffy and Elly. Potential for a young teen crowd their. So all in all Home and Away is in a good place. Come a long way since the Brax era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was H&A that, if ever? To me that describes Neighbours more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Alan Bateman said he wanted H&A to ruffle feathers when the show was about to air for the first time. He bought in teenage pregnancy, rape, drugs, running away from home, rebellious foster teens etc into the first season but ATEOTD these were eclipsed by the family storylines and comedy. You could say with the dark storylines in 2016 that they are sticking to the Alan Bateman strategy and "ruffling feathers" but the balance is too wrong, and the dark incidental music is overplayed.

Blaxland 89 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Can't believe that the lovely 20th anniversary montage has been taken off YouTube. Created by summerbay journal it's far better than anything channel 7 has ever done. How tight can you be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes i agree the show lacks balance. But it seems to be heading in the right direction. Maybe it needs a fresh voice or something, I don't know. 5 hours ago, Blaxland 89 said: Can't believe that the lovely 20th anniversary montage has been taken off YouTube.

Homeandawayfan. Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 10 years ago Neighbours was the one which abandoned its roots and H&A was much more respectful. Now the tables have turned. In terms of the history, I prefer H&A but in the current eps it is Neighbours for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterjai30 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The thing i object to is the amount of sex in the show.Why can't characters meet and slowly build a relationship for once instead of jumping into bed right away?It may sound silly but i genuinely get annoyed when characters like Kat and Ash can't seem to keep their hands off each other.For me it just comes across as cheap and tacky.Anyway i've recently given up on the current show and i'm enjoying The Early Years again.

Homeandawayfan. Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 H&A does feel like The Katarina Chapman Show at times now many of the Braxtons have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke39 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I don't know they drag stuff out in Neighbours. Tyler and Piper for instance lol. I like in H and A they just get to it lol. They over simplify things too much in Neighbors some times. Although I agree currently the episodes are prob better overall then H and A. They have found that balance. That H and A lacks. I still prefer H and A. Just a taste thing. .Neighbores bores me lol. Sorry I find it dull. In H and A, things develop pretty much each episode in H and A. In Neighbours, feels nothing happens for weeks. I guess they ignored pretty much half the show. In the Braxton Era, it did feel like The River Boys Starring Home and Away lol. Well Guest Apperences heh. So guess still in that transitional phase. Did not help other then possibly Heath. I always thought Bianca should of ended up with Liam. But the other Braxtons got crappy exit stories tbh. Casey dieing was a bit disheartening. Kyle who was one of the most redeeming Braxtons in the end. Got Jail for his trouble, over a woman he barley knew, like what the heck. And of course Brax got off scott free, he should of been the one to be killed off. So you know. Characters in their own bubbles, bit of an issue. Kinda annoys me atm watching this show, when their is an event happening. And think hmm shoulden't that character be their. But of course they are not, because they have another storyline happening. It is a small town. That and I agree the music in tone is still too harsh. I understand it for a Underbelly type scene. But most of the time, it is way too harsh. If I wanted to listin to harsh music, I would go listin to Katy Perry haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
