They have both ripped the heart out of the show. I was watching a few old episodes on dailymotion the other day from 2005-2007. It is like watching a completely different show.

In those days there were :

*likeable relatable characters - the core teen group of Ric, Cassie, Belle, Lucas and Drew were all relatable to the audience and they all had their own distinct personality traits. Therefore, the audience actually cared about what happened to them. Nowadays, all of the younger characters are so mindnumbingly bland they could all be changed and you wouldn't notice the difference.

*Core adult group - The same applies to the young adult group. In those days, you had characters such as Martha, Robbie, Tasha, Kim, Rachel. Again, there were all well written characters who you truly invested in and felt the emotionality of their stories. One particular stand-out is when Tasha was raped by the believers - you felt empathy for the character. Can the same really be said for the bland non-enities Addario and Bowes have introduced?

*Blockbuster Storylines- This is another element now missing. Ten years ago we had many blockbuster stories such as, The Sutherlands down the mine shaft, The summerbay stalker, The plane crash, Helicopter Crash, Kelli Vale's revenge on Amanda, Sally stabbed by Rocco to name a few. What exactly is the big 'story' of the moment, it's all bland repetitive 'romance'.

*Fostering - This is the biggest element now missing. The last time this was done successfully was with Cassie and Ric. Summerbay House is no longer the focal point of the show. This has ripped the heart out of the show, as the original premise has now been lost.

Finally, Addario's and Bowes' obsession with the Braxton's has destroyed the show. Cameron Welsh was bad enough but at least he still had storylines for the other characters. Nowadays, characters like Irene, Leah and Marilyn are just relegated to the background. It seems that until these two have gone, the focus of the show will be on the Braxton's and those connected to them and their 'crime life'. They need to remember it is 'HOME AND AWAY' not 'Braxton and Away'.
