Coool! Brad used too work there, and was trapped inside, with Beth I think when there was an explosion, Stephen Gottlieb was left unable too walk for a while as a result...It was also the place they held Helen Daniels surprize party when Paul & Lucy returned, the whole episode featured all the cast I think and was only set in the pub. Great that another blast from the past is back!! You can really tell the new producer cares about the past history of the soap.!!
eh? How can you tell,...we cant see any of the Interior,...
well the outside doesn't look that great I guess they are referring to. Maybe the inside will follow on from the "wood" theme and hopefully be more pub like and less trendy bar! Apparently it only changed on set last week so may take 4 months for us to see it on screen?
I thought the complex was next to the hotel and not above the reception as the hotel rooms would be above the reception
well when we see the zoomed out shot - I guess I meant the hotel. I am sure someone told me the shopping mall where Phillip martin ran a newsagency was on a level in the complex? If such a massive buidling existed there I am sure Harold's would be in darkness
In the early 90s there was definitely a Mall attached to Lassiters. From The Perfect Blend;
Lassiter's Arcade
The shopping centre attached to the hotel, it housed the Lassiter’s Gift Shop, run by Christina Alessi in 1990, Gabrielle’s boutique owned and run by Gaby Willis which opened in 1991 and burned down in 1992, and the newsagency, originally run by Wendy Slater, then taken over by Philip Martin in 1994. He ran it for two years before quitting to become a romance novelist. From this point on, the arcade was rarely used or mentioned on screen.
The establishing shot of Paul's apartment is what Lassiter's is meant to look like, which doesn't fit what we see from the courtyard at all!
I have no problems with the name reverting back (though I agree with the comment on 'past glories' being dragged back into the show for the hell of it), but the new exterior looks AWFUL! Charlies was hardly brilliant, but atleast it looked a little authentic. The sign/ logo is one step away from being comic-sans!

Oh for goodness sake. I'm so glad I don't watch anymore. Move forwards not backwards. They seem to have no faith in new ideas!
They have lots of new people and ideas on the show. I think the real mistake was the way the pub name changed so many subsequent times unlike EE and Corrie where they have stayed the same as in real life . Even though I didn't watch when it was The Waterhole I agree with those who have said it's the best name over the years and I'm glad it's back. They better not change it again though!

Edit: Glenn fell of the Lassiter's roof but Stephen was injured in the Waterhole explosion.
I suspect Paul is involved somewhere

Hopefully the interior isn't as bad...
Thank you!!! Glad it's not just me!
