^Yes, but there were times in the late 80s/early 90s when there was only about four of them, rather than three quarters of the cast.

Well now most of the cast are over 18 so vj and jet are the only teens

I would say there still quite few teens Spencer, Maddie,Josh,Sasha tto name a few

Plus Oscar and Evelyn.Tamara's probably still a teenager although she seems to be over 18.

Spencer is 24, Maddie is 23, Sasha is 20 and Josh is 23. Also considering the actors that play Jett and Vj is born in 1997 they to will soon be over 18

The characters Spencer and Sasha are 17, Josh is probably the same and Maddy is 16.We're not talking about the actors.And I seriously doubt that either Felix Dean or Will McDonald is anywhere near 18.I'm not even convinced they're 16 as you seem to be claiming.

After a few recent posts where you've made the same mistake, I must ask that you please remember to distinguish between actor ages and character ages - they are very rarely the same with most actors being older than the character they play. It's confusing for others when you state as fact that a character is a certain age but are incorrectly basing it on the actor's age.

I don't think the current producers are ruining the show.

Its not like it used to be, but i do feel that this year in general was a huge improvement from previous years.

I agree it's certainly better than the dreadful 2012 season.

But I consider the improvement similar to that of the 2011 Neighbours season over 2009/10. As in... better than a hole in the head.

The storylines about Romeo and the cancer was not very good, but not extremely bad either. The writing of Indi and Sid was a bit off.

The problem is that there were no need for a new cancer storyline. It was too identical with Belles storyline. The storylines are to repetetative. It was not emotional. And it was over the top because both Sid and Indi was written too stupid. And for me it is the big lines that probably has changed too much, too many black holes in the storylines overall. And the dialogue is not realistic which is important in handling sensitive storylines like abuse and cancer..

In Norway we have seen Gina die today and everyone react to it. The funeral and following ep will be on tomorrow. But in this case i think it was right with a death or they should both (plus Jett) been written out. Gina and John were a stabile couple by home and away standards.. I have been impressed so far. Really good writing overall, well done writers!!

I said it in my previous post, I still find things to enjoy in home and away. But I liked it better 4-6 years ago and before 2006 better... The charachter developement, introduction of new characters and departures were better. But the show is not destroyed. And it is not only the writers fault, but competition and more pressure from channel directors and media and fans. And that limits the writers ability to write decent storylines for different kind of charachters.
