Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

Or on the other hand it could just be an unwillingness to innovate or risk anything new.  

Well this is a show that in 2017 that doesn't have a regular gay, disabled, black, or Asian character. I'm not asking for minority bingo and to have them just because they are a minority but to not even have 1 speaks volumes...

I love to see Josh Thomas visit the bay and yes they do need Minority characters and that goes for other shows too

I agree. I actually think it's the worst re-cast of all time for any show.

I disagree. 80s and 90s certainly didn't have as many ridiculous and unbelievable storylines as the current show does. Take Pippa and Michael's seperation for example. In the current show they would probably go to ONE counselling session and that would be it. Like a magic cure. Then there's an actual comparison with Dale and Rocco an their respective cot deaths. How is it more modern that a baby has to be rushed to hospital every week and die from something completely unrelated? Then that horrible casting of VJ. If Bobby had an accident now, she would wake up from being brain dead. Of course those eras had their weak spots. For example writing characters in their 20s as if they were in their 40s. But what I'm complaining about is not flimic look or crime aspect. I'm complaining about lazy writing. I do not enjoy being treated as an idiot by the writers.

I agree both Bobby and Marilyn were written as if they were in there 40s in 1991 and 1992!.   

In 1995 Marilyn feels like she more closer to Ailsa/Pippa/Irene age then Angel/Shannon/Selina/Kelly age.

I get lack of diversity. But I think it's hard to cast an actor to play multi cultured, or LGBT characters.

So how do you account for the fact that Neighbours has or has had "multi cultured, or LGBT characters"?

How it is hard exactly to cast a character who's gay? Gay people come in all walks of life.

Yeah it must be really hard to cast a gay character out of probably 10s of millions LGBT people in the world. And the however many billions of straight people.

It's hard to cast an actor to ACT? Tim Campbell(Dan) and Kylie Watson(Shauna) were both actors who convincingly played straight characters while being gay in real life.
