locohero Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've been ok with the Braxton's.... until now. The Brax back in prison story line is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm now fast forwarding through anything to do with it. Far too repetitive. Jeez writers, show some imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Billie has now arrived to a love triangle life in Summer Bay. I did find the show very addictive last week and H&A seemed to be getting its crown back as the better show over Neighbours. Neighbours is quite lacklustre at the moment since the 30th.I do remain optimistic. Dan Bennett has probably matured as a writer and he seems to be aware of the shoddy storylines. I did watch some 2001 episodes of H&A in From The Bay To LA repeats and it was really firing on all cylinders since the revamp the year before.

John Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Now I am a little scared.The show is at a crossroads. The era of the Braxtons has come to an end and the writers are faced with the task of moving the show on to the next era. I am terribly disappointed with the early signs. I see no sign of the show taking a new and interesting direction or going "back to the future" either. Hopefully that will come in the next few weeks. I don't believe that Dan Bennett is any kind of messiah although I have appreciated his writing in the past. No do I believe that looking back for any other purpose than to understand the history of the show is the way forward either.The show needs a new and interesting direction consistent with its history.

TelephotoMarigold Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Honestly if the show is to continue then the following needs to start happening: No introduction of characters just to add plot points to someone's story. No focus on one set of characters at the expense of others or decent storytelling.Removal of hastily introduced characters. No hooking up characters because you can't think what else to do with them. And how about giving people jobs outside of Summer Bay. You don't have to show external sets all the time but seriously a town that small supporting just about everyone with a handful of businesses? Hey, what do you want to do when you leave school? Oh, I've always wanted to work in Alf's bait shop, how about you? Me, I've my eye on working in the diner for the next forty years.

Yep...... totally agree about the job thing; I have wanted to see more of that too. I remember when we had other places such as when Josh was in council, Ric was in the car garage, Belle had a job as a journalist and you routinely seen them all there, now you don't see any of that - it's either go work at the diner, gym, Angelos, Bait Shop or the hospital lol....... honestly, Ricki apparently works right!? Can't say I remember what she even does as you never see her there LOL!Since Dan Bennett has taken over can't say I have noticed much change as of yet, but it's early days and I guess he has a big mess to cleanup that has been left in his lap; but the addition of more love triangles isn't a good start.

CaptainHulk Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Bennett doesn't have a magic wand, just basically a s*** shovel, so it's gonna take him some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree John and I would say that the only way for the show to move forward is to abandon bad habits in regards to writing and bring in a new Series Producer.

Doesn't she work at Angelo's?Yes and as part owner of the Gym and Angelo's she can probably sit back and live off the profits. I think we've just seen her there less due to the pregnancy.
