Jacklost Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 I wish that home and away would introduce a family of a former character like what has been done on Neighbours with the Turners and Willis's (although it would be nice to have the original actors back!) Or even just pop up family visits like Lucy has been doing. Also more mentions of family members in conversation. Neighbors has had so many returnees recently (lauren, brad, steph, Brennan, Lucy, Lolly and like a million more to come), why can't home and away do the same? It would provide more continuity for long term and short-term viewers and just make the show more realistic. They could bring back Nicole with her kid and now most likely husband Angelo or Scott along with Hayley and their children (Would probably have to recast Scott but he was always to old for the role so it´s not the worst thing thatn could happen)

A lot of new viewers don't even know she has kids (judging from comments on Youtube).
Light of the Bay Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 I'm not that 'old' myself, but I took time to educate myself on the history of the show and the characters. In time, I got to know the characters and their back stories in great depth and I'm so glad I did that as it gives you a much better outlook when you're aware of so much history! These 'new' viewers could easily take some time to learn about the history of Home and Away and maybe then they'd realise that there's so much more to the show than what is being produced today. Just my opinion.

Just my opinion. The only child of hers which is her own biological child l remember seeing is that one son who got out of jail and was violent and angry to begin but in the end he become nice after meeting a woman who had trouble with her husband chasing her and then he jumps from a helicopter with a parachute or something before he leaves. I remember he did something similar like that before he left and we could see he was happy. I have done research several times on different characters and one thing i have noticed is that Irene gave birth to a child in 1995 or 1996 but where is that child now?
Luigi Severus Fletcher Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 They have rendered it completely unwatchable. I guess those Lucy and Louise wanna see the Braxtons more than any likeable character.

That would be Nathan Roberts you're referring to who made a return to the show in 2002 when he was released from jail. Irene's two other kids from her marriage with Murdoch (Mud) are Finley and Damien Roberts. The baby that Irene had around 1996 or 1997 was Paul Roberts who Irene was acting as a surrogate mother for her daughter for Finley who everyone thought couldn't have kids but later Finley fell pregnant with another baby and raised that child as well. From memory Paul was kidnapped by Saul I think until he suddenly reappeared and Irene gave him to Finley to raise. So that child you ask about is currently living with Finley in the city. I must admit my memory of Irene having Paul's baby is very fuzzy so I might be incorrect on some details.

I must admit my memory of Irene having Paul's baby is very fuzzy so I might be incorrect on some details. I think the scene where she gives birth is on youtube some place, that´s how i found out she gave birth once on the show. Well since Paul is alive and well i think it would be very cool if he did a comeback, he would be 17 or 18 now and would fit as a teenager on the show and he is Irene´s grand child to so that would make it a special storyline. Anyone from irene´s or Alf´s family is more than welcome to join or rejoin the show, no mather who it is as long as it´s not some new Barrett or Braton. I still hope Dylan will return, i think the producers have forgotten about him, the last time i saw him was when Alf yelled at him because he though he cause the car crash that killed (I forgot the name) and he yelled at him causing Dylan to storm out and then they found out as he left that it wasns´t his car but someone else and Morag gave him that see what you did look or she though it was stupid the way he reacted against Dylan his own son when he didn´t have any proof. Sorry if this is to much writing, i just remember so much from what i have watched off the show:)

Just my opinion. Actually I'm with you right up to where you conclude that what is being produced today is some how less than what has past. I certainly agree that new viewers would benefit greatly from an understanding and familiarity with the past history of the show. This would include an understanding and knowledge of past iconic characters and storylines.. However I would see that knowledge as making for a greater appreciation of how the show has developed and an appreciation of what it has become.

What do you classify as a new viewer? i have watched the show since the late 2001 year in 2003. Seeing as the show was over ten years old by then does that make me a new viewer?
Bobby Forever Missed Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 I count a new viewer as someone who had started watching the previous year
