dee123 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I know H & A is on about 7 in Oz, but in the UK so is Hollyoaks and though their storylines and acting leave alot to be desired at the moment, they have in the past managed to tell some good hard hitting storylines. I love HO. Always have, but yeah, it's a shadow of it's former self right now If both Kirkwood & Addario left this year that would be an wonderful starting point to rebuild for both soaps.

Matt Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 A teacher is in a position of authority so it doesnt matter what age the pupil is. The police would be involved and the teacher would either be fired or suspended. Actually, I think it does.If the pupil is legally an adult (ie 18 or over), then no crime has been committed since they're not in loco parentis.But yes, the teacher would be fired.Technically, yes, legally they can sleep together, however due to the teacher being in a position of authority, it is illegal and charges can be laid - it's sexual harassment, and the teacher would be fired from the Department of Education and Training.

alexx Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 "Are the current producers ruining Home and Away?"No.Anything else to add to the discussion? Why don't you think that? What do you enjoy? How does this year compare to previous years? Are you happy with the writing? Are you happy with the stories? Are you disappointed with anything?

Gerard Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 It needs a HUGE on-screen clean out. There is so much deadwood. So many characters that haven't worked or who have been let down because of poor, poor writing. The show has never done a huge disaster where multiple main characters die, now is the time. Off screen we all know who need to go...I agree, H&A could do with a good cast clearout at the moment, especially amongst the remains of the Braxton household, and many of the teens and 20-somethings. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to bring in a few interesting foster children for John and Marilyn, Roo or Irene. Get the series to start focusing around these households again and the conflicts between the generations.H&A is hopefully at a transitional stage. While I never hated the Braxtons with a vengence, I wasn't their biggest fan either, but the series feels empty without them (because it mostly revolved around them). Despite their faults, they became interesting layered characters. We need more well-defined characters, who struggle with problems that the audience can relate to (minus the fantasy violence and lives in jeapordy on a daily basis). If they need inspiration, look back at any of the younger characters pre-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pembie Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I do think that maybe Ash should of been brought in only in aid for Brax's exit I do think he should go now. I would of said Matt should be axed but he is getting more interesting. I think Andy should go now. I have never found Kyle that interesting either only with Pheobe. Oh and Denny should go aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee123 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Seeing that i brought it up, i guess i should say who i would get rid of:Nate, Ash, Phoebe, Denny and Andy should be the first to leave. Now for the part i'm sure people won't agree with. I'd get rid off the McGuire's. Yes all of them: Zac, Evie, Oscar, Hannah as well. They just haven't worked.

You are right, I completely forgot that the character was 18! Yes, you're very much right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they need inspiration, look back at any of the younger characters pre-2000.It's never had a storyline on the sale of Emmerdale's plane crash or Coronation Street's tram crash. In the case of Emmers, the main reason Yorkshire did it was indeed in order to clear out the dead wood by killing off four principal cast in one go.What about another storyline based on recent events in the UK, where a school teacher is infact a paedophile, but is being protected by an establishement cover-up? Dark material, but recent events in this hemisphere have sadly shown it's a story that needs to be told... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
