CaptainHulk Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 They just recycle the same phrases she said a few years ago that irritating "light and shade" comment and "lives will hang in the balance" for the next season premiere. Lucy has been at the helm for almost 3 years now. Even during meh periods like 1997-1999 and 2012-2014, H&A just has always had this intriguing and compelling thing that Neighbours has never had. Todays H&A is marmite, love it or hate it and I am both ATM. I love half and hate the other half. 2009-10 felt like a chore to watch in places. Usually down to Marthamania.
Jacklost Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I think the show is good as it is now
cadyctslover Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I like rainbows. I'm not going to tell you why.
christine king Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 The last season of home and away that was good in my opinion was 2011, the last 3 years have been the worst I've ever seen of the show. I can't invest in any couples because they break-up every 5 minutes or friendships because they are usually forced and become best friends in record time after a few scenes together. The story-lines are dull and boring and repetitive and its nothing like the good old home and away that I feel in love with. The only reason I am still watching is the hope that it will become good again and just know I will be watching after the Braxtons are gone like I was doing before they arrived.
c120701 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 So here it is for anyone interested. Thank you for the tip cadyctslover. Has Louise been replaced with Dan Bennett?
Gerard Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 I'll spoiler this one... Now that it's confirmed Brax will be leaving H&A later this year (no major surprise there), I wonder what sort of effect that will have on the current direction of the show. They could very easily replace Brax with another River Boy and continue business as usual, or they could take the series in a whole new direction if they wanted. It sounds like they have a number of months to find something to replace Brax. H&A's current problems are much bigger than Brax alone though. Also it's impossible to predict if viewers will turn away in their droves as they're only watching for Brax. I'm not going to get too excited that there will be much change at all, but it is an opportunity for a "revamp" in storylines if they wanted one.
John Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 So here it is for anyone interested. Thank you for the tip cadyctslover. Has Louise been replaced with Dan Bennett? Well spotted cadyctslover. I had heard a rumour.

The story-lines are dull and boring and repetitive and its nothing like the good old home and away that I feel in love with. I agree with this, Braxtons and the "crime element" of the series aside, it is definitely missing it's heart and warmth that it had back many years ago, where you had long lasting relationships that you could really invest in - e.g.Shane and Angel, Pippa and Michael, Flynn and Sally etc. Nowadays it's hard to remember even who's going out with who... relationships have little depth. Ironically one of the most steady relationships seems to be that of Brax and Ricky, and of course there's John and Marilyn. But aside from this it's hard to believe in any of the relationships.There's just no spark any more in the relationship storylines - they're not very believeable, and things just seem to go around in circles.
cadyctslover Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 So here it is for anyone interested. Thank you for the tip cadyctslover. Has Louise been replaced with Dan Bennett? I hadn't noticed that. Notice though that he replaces Louise Bowes as Network Script Executive, Gary Sewell remains as Script Producer. Gary was responsible for the last few months of the 2014 season, so draw your own conclusions. Lucy Addario is also still Series Producer, and I think she's the main problem to be honest. Although Dan's tenure as Script Producer 2005-2006 was at times completely OTT, at least it was interesting. Under Louise she managed to make the storylines OTT, but somehow boring... EDIT: Also, what a completely inconsiderate comment from user 'caity0212', unbelievable.
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Now that it seems Louise Bowes has stepped down to be replaced by Dan Bennett and Summer Bay House exterior is returning there could be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
