It does seem a lot of Blue Heelers style lives on in Home And Away. Cops and robbers. That's all You hear on the Facebook fans wishing it come back. It has!
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Well at least the REAL Home And Away is being shown on 7TWO. Almost up to 1996. It is such a shame that H&A has been turned into a Blue Heelers/Underbelly clone instead of sticking to being H&A.
Skylover Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 I don't know what Bevan Lee is upto these days but IMO he is the last writer on the show who understood it.

One thing going for Ramsey Street is they have better characters now and as some of you have said they staying longer. A little comedy wouldn't hurt H&A and Although I disappointed with both I am grateful for some who were good in the past. It would not hurt Summer bay to copy as i think with all the TV WEEK Press they get they feel being Number one they must be doing something right!
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I am so glad that Neighbours has never got as far as H&A as to lose all of its originality. H&A has totally lost all of its originality now, whereas Neighbours is very much the same show at the core. I did watch last nights episode and it is just more shootings, people critically ill in hospital, cruelty and lives in danger. So yes I feel the show has been totally ruined. They don't understand what Home And Away is supposed to be about.

I know the crime is more than it was in the past, but I think "Just more shootings" is far too much of a simplification if that's meant to be a summation. And why should something necessarily be about what it was originally when it began to exist?

I actually find it shocking that some people think it's really good.

IF they wanted to be real they be more crime in Ramsey Street.
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 10 years ago in 2007 H&A was very respectful of its roots, and was more dramatic than 1997 but was fun and it evolved naturally, it took the show into its 20th anniversary. But that all started to tail off in 2009. I too get a bit sick of being told "Home And Away cannot live in the past" or "H&A has moved on" when we complain about the direction the show has taken since 2009. It can be quite patronising.
Wanderer101 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I never commented on what the show /should/ be, since I'm not entirely convinced on what it should be. All I asked was why it should stay at its roots for the people who believe that's the case.
