Homeandawayfan. Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 There needs to be a new family (Mum, Dad and kids) to move in there and give it a new lease of life. They just brought in the McGuires as a new 'family' unit but it would be nice to see a family move into the SBH. But I do agree with homeandawayfan - the show still focuses on its original basis: foster kids / troubled kids (Jett, Matt, Josh, Maddy and Spencer (if they count) families (Walkers, Braxtons, John+Jett, McGuires)... Yes. Some may disagree but I think the original basis is still there and I stick to that thought. Troubled teens, foster children.
Jezz Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Oh, and why exactly is Alf still living at the Caravan Park? What were his reasons for moving there in the first place? Could he suddenly not afford to pay the mortgage for his own place or something? Alf moved into the Summer Bay house after Flynn died to take care of Sally, Ric and Cassie at the time who were obviously grieving for Flynn. Just before Flynn died he told Alf to look after them after he eventually passed on so Alf always had an obligation to live there from his perspective. I guess ever since then, the Summer Bay House has been a famous house for many years with the Fletchers being the prominent owners when the show started and the Stewarts beforehand, Alf probably wants to maintain and look after the house he cares so deeply for and keep it within the 'family'.
j.laur5 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Why would a bank not give a loan to Alf and Roo?.Because Alf would be dead before the mortgage gets paid off and Roo is a part time waitress. No bank would give a mortgage on a house to two high risk people like themThat's very harsh as Alf is only 68 and people these days live into their 90s!

And once Alf stops working how would he pay a mortgage? Be realistic! Banks don't give mortgages to old people because they won't be around long enough to pay it off. That's a fact, not me being harsh!
j.laur5 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 No, you are being very rude and nasty as Alf might have lots of superrannuation and savings to continue to pay off house. Roo and Harvey live there too and both are fairly well off people!.
Jezz Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 I'm not sure you could say that Harvey and Roo are 'well-off' people. If they were, they could have given quite a bit of money to fund Pippa's treatment in the US but they didn't due to certain financial constraints. That's my observation on watching them though. I don't see them being rich by any means but they do 'get by' though.

Roo and Harvey live there too and both are fairly well off people!. If Alf had savings they wouldn't have been in the financial mess they were. And Roo and Harvey well off? What gave you that impression?! They had to call on Winston to buy the Blaxland. Do you have any idea what you are talking about?!
j.laur5 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Excuse me, are you saying that a healthy 68 year old is going to drop dead at any moment. There's a difference between being able to save up money and pay it back afterwards with Alf/ Roo/Harvey/Marilyn.
John Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 I have edited personal references in a recent posts. It's fine to criticize a person's opinion expressed in a post. It's unacceptable to make personal criticisms or to resort to name calling or personal references.
Light of the Bay Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Excuse me, are you saying that a healthy 68 year old is going to drop dead at any moment. There's a difference between being able to save up money and pay it back afterwards with Alf/ Roo/Harvey/Marilyn. I think you're just being difficult for the sake of it and trying to get a reaction. ;) Alf is nearly 70 years old, there is no way he could pay back a massive loan in such a short time. He's overweight, presumably has an unhealthy diet and is often put under stress from his daughter. Chances are he won't be around for decades to pay off loans!
