Home and Away is horrendous!
I love Home and Away and during the 90's and early 00's it was the best thing on tv BUT NOW it is the worst thing on tv and a dread to watch which is a real shame.
They need to completely revamp the show to make it good again and get rid of the dull characters and stop the constant crimes and accidents.

I like the Braxtons too and they are one of the reasons why I haven't switched off for good.
There is just too many grumpy characters and I really hope that they don't cast another cop.
I haven't watched past fortnight but usually watch regularly and I like it and enjoy still.
In my opinion it's better than most British soaps.
Irene Yes,Pippa pops up about once every 5-6 years
You must be joking ?
I watched h&a religiously and was a soap I would hate missing.
Now I barely even catch it twice a week.
It's utterly dreadful and I actually think it would benefit from a British producer.
I hate to sound Aussie-ist, but they simply cannot make decent television .
The show itself is stuck waay in the past, boring storylines , boring characters, nothing groundbreaking in there anymore.
And I really don't get the deal with ignoring LGBT. even neighbours has a gay character now. (Though I heard that was because its on a digital channel in oz now, and 'that sort of thing' is allowed)
The death of a baby playing second fiddle to yet another story about Casey being in trouble with the police had me at a loss for words.
H&A has zilch. It's too conservative, which is ironic, considering all the murder and drug stories they have. The show has no identity, while it's trying to be something it isn't: a freaking drama. If they weren't so ashamed of being a soap opera, the show would find some sort of identity from that, but sadly, I don't think the Seven network want that.
RIP Home & Away, your golden days are long gone.
Australia has made great television shows and there have been a lot of LGBT characters on Australia TV over the decades. Other posters have supplied you with extensive lists which you choose to ignore because your main agenda is belittling Australia rather than having any rational discussion about the issue.
Saying that, H&A has improved a lot in the last 6 months with Dex's crash and aftermath, Rocco's death, the filming in the desert (the actual plot a bit bizarre though), Roo & Harvey's wedding, the return of Colleen, Celia & Morag.
Maybe you need to revisit this extensive list of glbt characters on Australian TV. It includes the first gay couple on an Australian soap opera (in 1972) and the first televised kiss on the lips between members of a gay male couple (also in 1972) - some time before there was such a thing as a digital channel.
And, er, some time before similar things first apeared on UK TV. :rolleyes:

The crime turn has had it's phase I think since really Hugo Austin. Now they are going for the 'defeats death' storyline with
Home and Away was quite sensationalist during her tenure but I think that's what made the show so great. They must have had a disaster/lost at sea/lost in the bush/just generally lost type storyline every few months but the slightly wacky storylines hooked people in and the show still had a lot of heart and likeable characters which kept people invested. It was fast paced (admittedly sometimes a little too fast paced) and had a great balance of stories.
Fabulous.
Still none in home and away though ...
So? There are no lesbians on Eastenders.
