Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?

Don't hate her per se, just want rid of her.

I was facetiously referring to the fact that you listed her twice, or haven't you noticed yet.

[gutterboy]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the fact that...

Alf actually got a storyline, at least this is a positive for the new season compared to who knows how long since he has had a storyline this big.

Last big thing he was involved in was half-dying after the Mushroom Debacle!

Yeah, but I wouldn't really call that big, his scenes were over after an ep or two. Got sick, recovered, done.

I still haven't watched Alf's storyline so I can't comment on it yet. Thing is I've got to be in the right mood to give the current H&A a go and I'm hardly ever in that mood. Every time I've tuned back in I've been bored so I just keep on putting it off because I don't have much faith in the show anymore, especially if Alf's storyline is just a one off/few episodes and then it's back to being boring as usual - I just feel like 'what's the point?'.

He is heavily featured in his current storyline - I was saying his storyline where he got poisoned was very short lived.

[CaptainHulk]

It was reasonably big despite being short... Death Cap Mushrooms are no joke. Mess with those, you may as well start coffin shopping that same day!

I'm in exactly the same position Alexx. I watched the week of episodes 6171-6175, and 6174 and particularly 6175 give a surprising amount of focus to Alf's storyline.

Unfortunately the quality of the dialogue is still pitiful, the other storylines are unbelievably dull, as are 60% of the cast.

I was encouraged overall by the episodes and swore I would watch the next couple of weeks, but nothing is driving me to do it. I'll catch up with it at some point.

Hopefully it wont be long before we see Dan Bennett's names on the credits as script editor. I still sporadically watch about once a week but it is usually the same old same old Braxton revenge plot, old enemy turning up, drugs bust between Brax and old enemies, Braxtons being banged up and getting into fights in prison. Lucy Addario has to be the worst soap producer in Aussie soap history. SuBo coming second.

I haven't really tuned into the show this year. A few weeks ago I decided to give it another chance if within the first 2 minutes of the show they did not mention Brax, have violence, crime or drugs. Sadly within the first 10 seconds, it was another Braxton drama. I turned it off.

Yesterday I decided to watch another episode. Same deal. Yeah not going to bother watching it. I am over the crime, violence and the braxton dramas. This show has not changed. It's still boring and unrealistic. This is meant to be a family show, not a crime drama.
