The tune is the thing people associate with most when you mention Home and Away. Remove the tune and you have a programme set in the same place with about 3 recognisable characters that just happens to be referred to as "Home and Away". Yes, I believe that axing the opening titles was equivalent to axing the biggest part of its identity.

Its not like the missing 30 seconds give us any more exciting footage, a lot of the boring love triangle stuff could do with having 30 seconds cut from it lol, the wandering around the beach to the sad music

The same petition happened in 2007 didn't it, when they brought in the rainbow photo collage opening credits for 2008? Unfortunately, that lasted a year before it got axed again. I don't think they'll ever learn. Personally I haven't watched often since Sally left - every time I had an occasional view I found the young cast very unlikeable, they seemed to lack personality and character whilst the older cast just seemed to do the same thing all the time. Irene, Colleen and Leah rushing round in the diner kitchen, Alf in his shop, blah blah. I can't exactly comment on the current state of the show obviously but from what I heard it's in big need of a shake-up!

I think that these people should sing the new theme tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cJkmv8slxk and visually, it should look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emwskfvHxnY |

I couldn't stand the theme song to be honest, so I was happy it was cut
. It's a very painful song on my ears .

I used to love the home and away theme and I still remember the words. I think that it was a mistake to remove it.
