Will H&A: The Early Years ever return?

[Old H&A Fan]

I've only now discovered this. The content director must be playing Santa Claus!

Let us hope our wishes of further seasons (including beyond 1996) come true!

[early years fan]

Yes I really hope they continue with further seasons!  
I am trying to binge watch the episodes whenever I have spare time, and hoping it won’t get removed before having the chance to see all the episodes 

I really liked Tom and Pippa’s characters as Vanessa and Roger, excellent actors.

Also the hard hitting topics, such as Carly’s rape and domestic violence, that Barlow guy really gives me the creeps

It's just Jeff Truman (GRHS) gives it his all in the role and is only in his early 30s (build, crewcut and tash all age him by about 15-20!)

If Neighbours spit out more early Seasons and H&A finishes out the 90s on Amazon, I'd probably go stark raving mad with excitement.

I loved them too, Vanessa and Roger did them justice and the early days of the show weren't the same for me after Tom and OG Pippa left, Debra never felt like Pippa to me. 

 

Also I wish they never broke up Carly and Matt as they were such a cute couple

They got to be each other's dates for the Sesqentenary boat trip in 2002.

That first year was good but was a rollercoaster year. Nico Pappas the autistic farmer, and then Bertram being exposed as the Summer Bay Nutter. That Sam Barlow was deffo a loose cannon from threatening Pippa with duck tape to shooting his wife dead, and abusing his wife and daughter Sandra, and terrorising Stevo. The 2nd half of 1988 felt more like the Carly and Macklin and Gary/Jeff Samuels Show, as Tom and Pippa took a bit more of aback seat.

[early years fan]

I am up to episode 90, and the tone always seems so serious,  I know they tackle some hard hitting issues but it seems like no one is ever happy! 

the kids are always complaining or crying, especially Carly.  
the only light hearted relief comes from Martin and Lance.

If you want to start watching early Home and Away, the first few months of 1988 are for completionists only. It's very uneven and you can see that they're still trying to figure things out. The years that followed were much stronger but 7 is far less generous when it comes to sharing those.
