RR1 is not the only long term fan who still watches the show, there are many of us.

Sorry. Was just after RR1 opinion because I always read the analyse of the show each week. And he seems to know a lot about the show. I'm sure there are many other long term fans. What has kept you watching all these years. Just interested to know what is still working for some people.

I can't speak for any other long-term viewer but in my view the fact that the show continues to 'evolve' keeps me interested and I like remaining loyal to the show even though it does have it's poor moments at certain times.

Also I'm interested to see what direction the show takes in the future. For the last few years the Braxtons have been on the forefront of the show but what happens when they leave and who begins to be on the forefront after that. The show goes through its phases and the one we're experiencing won't last forever so the continual unpredictability is what keeps me watching.

I find it very difficult to stop watching a show I've invested a lot of time in the past.

How are the ratings doing in Australia?

They have plummeted in the UK, that's for sure.

The ratings have remained relatively strong. The season finale got 1.14 million viewers this year!

I think you must be the most dedicated fan ever. You clearly have watched the show for a very long time and seen the way its changed and you still look for positives in the current and continue to watch it on a daily basis when most long term fans have given up. I'd love to still enjoy the show now but can't. I think thats great that you do but interested in what good you still see it?

I guess it's partly out of loyalty, there are still characters I like and storylines I'm interested in and as long as that remains the case then I'll keep watching.I can see the show has its faults and isn't perfect but that's always been the case and it does seem like they're learning from recent mistakes and toning down some of the elements that made for uncomfortable viewing.

I'd have to say that I'm similar to RR1. Although there are charecters [like Chris and Kyle] and stroylines that i'm not really keen on, ther's always been something/someone to keep me interested ....like currently, i REALLY like Sasha, Evie, Bianca and Heath !!!!!

I'll add that i've been watching since day 1 adn have only missed the occasional episode amongst its 25 year run !!!!

I think I keep watching out of habit & loyalty, mainly. I don't watch other soaps but I've stuck with this for years (since around 1998-9) and as much as I complain about it, I do feel my Sky planner is a bit 'naked' when it goes on a summer/Christmas break.

H&A will be the Big 26 on 17 Jan 2014. I think while the show is not great under Louise and Lucy it still has its good moments. Some people say "I miss the days of Scott and Charlene" or "Bobby and Pippa and Shane and Angel" but people have to realise that soaps change and actors come and go. For example Shane and Angel have not been in the show for almost 20 years now, soaps move on. I think the past can be seen through rose tinted specs.

The two big Aussie soaps have always had drama and intrigue. 1988 saw the Summer Bay Nutter, and a few arson attacks and Neighbours had disasters and explosions galore as well in the 1990s.

We do need new producers or at least a new executive one.
