James Martin Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 I think Neighbours is very "British" in style, which is why it enjoys more sucess over here, whereas the Aussies like their soaps slick and escapist. I must say I generally find H&A to be far more watchable than any British soaps though, dunno why.
Beck Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I must admit, Neighbours is getting a tad boring.... It's not as exciting as it used to be.. I prefer Home and Away any day!
Chair Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Home and Away seems to be doing really well at the moment. Congratulations to them. I look forward to seeing the present Australian episodes over here in the UK that are proving so popular with Australian viewers.
c120701 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 As my memory serves me, the Home and Away of 1988 was all about two sets of parents -- the young Pippa and Michael Scott and the older Alf and Elsie Stewart, with children being adopted every third month as young characters moved in and out of the show. Well as my memory serves me, the Home and Away of 1988 was mainly about one set of parents, Tom & Pippa Fletcher, whilst we also saw the romance of Alf Stewart and Ailsa Hogan develop, despite his daughter Roo's objections. Children were being fostered by the Fletcher's which caused a constant influx of characters moving in and out of the show, with one exception, Sally Keating, now Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) who was adopted by Tom and Pippa who is still a resident of Summer Bay today.
