I feel the same about Emmerdale as you do about H&A. The new younger viewers will carry the 44 year old Emmerdale into the future. But Emmerdale gets the balance a lot better than H&A. During the Farm days Emmerdale was slower but it did have drama and intrigue and has had to move with the times.

Home and Away's 2 big disasters per year (the same amount, mind you, as Neighbours) has nothing on that... I didn't realise you guys get Hollyoaks down there. Never really thought much about Aussies watching British Soaps TBH. 51 minutes ago, Edward Skylover said: I'd never watch Hollyoaks on a regular basis. That is the epitome of trash TV and the worst soap IMO. Not something H&A should be aspiring to. Say what you like about Hollyoaks but it's a soap that openly embraces diversity. It's been mentioned here numerous times about diversity or lack of with regards to H & A even a whole thread dedicated to it but that's the one thing you can't knock Hollyoaks for - People of different ethnicities, gays, lesbians, bis, they've even explored transgender storylines for both sexes. Most of the time the person's race, gender or sexuality is very rarely mentioned so the individual in question is fully accepted.
Skylover Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 Embracing diversity doesn't make it good But I take your point, H&A lags behind in this area. Still hoping for Ash's gay prison mate to arrive
cadyctslover Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 Not knowing what Lucy's job entails, nor the ability to do that type of job doesn't mean one can't have an opinion on her performance in that role. The same noises were made in defence of Susan Bower when she was busy making Neighbours so unwatchable that it had to be moved to a digital-only channel. I don't want to stand by and let that happen to Home and Away.

Considering there is no knowledge of what she actually does, I think it's a little bit ignorant to be having an opinion - and I'll be blunt, from what I've read, none of you actually know what her job entails.

Whether it's her fault or not, the current show is still crap, mostly. That much is obvious without knowing what her job entails.

I wouldn't be surprised if the network has interfered, insisting she makes it a crime show. The tail-end of 2016 has been pretty strong, if you cut out the Morgans. If you remove the crime and explosion element of the show, and it focused on the past more, it'd be pretty good.
Luke39 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 The last thing H a Away need to do is go back to the past. Unless we want H a Away to be stuck in a time warp lol. I understand a lot of you watch the early years. So you have something to compare it too. But The crime and explosion element part to h a Away is great. Ppl want to see that in prime time drama now. The Morgans were a big part of why the show was so good latter half. It could Be Neighbors. And abandon its roots completely. Or it could have set designs that look like the show is stuck in the 90s. I prefer the way they are doing it. It looks like a show in 2016.
