Their so bad they actually made me stop watching the programme. It just seemed they were in every other scene which made me bored to tears! Worst family they ever had.

The other day when VJ said to Leah that she couldn't forget the day he was born made me chuckle. She obviously has because he's 15 not almost 18 and he certainly shouldn't have the body of a man in his mid 20s.

I quite liked the duet between Phoebe (who I really don't like) and Justin. I admit I stopped watching over the summer and have no idea why they are in witness protection r who's after them and I don't really care either. It's just background noise while I iron these days.

Has vj also left school now? He was talking as though he had in the last ep I watched. I honestly don't know anything about the morgans nor do I care.

I like the Morgans and they are actually a part of the reason I have once again become a regular viewer. On the other hand I hated the Braxtons and they were the reason I stopped watching regularly. I don't know what it is I have personally found so likeable about the Morgans, I just instantly liked them.

I quite like the Morgans but then again I hated the Braxtons and they were a major reason I stopped watching and I only came back when I heard they were going. In fact, the first time I watched in about 3 years wS the week Casey was killed.

What I like Bout the Morgans us that they are a compromise re the crime / bad boy families they've relied on in recent years. Yes they are connected to crime so they can do these action, intrigue plots they are so fond of but it doesn't come naturally tp them, they've been forced into it due to the Witness Protection.

Theyrerin it due to their parents having been murdered by drug lords in front of Justin 7 years ago. Their dad was involved with some cartel and Justin knew about it. Their dad also kept a book with names and stuff and the dealers want that, hence them needing to be hidden.

Mason is the only bore for me.

In the land of unbelievable stories I find the Morgans quite the most unbelievable.

In what land does being in witness protection not actually protect the family? I fully realise it is a plot device but I think it is a pretty poor one, not the least because they don't actually look like a family at all!

Totally unrealistic and the plots and acting are not particularly good (my opinion only of course!).

I prefer the Morgans to the Braxtons. I always felt the Braxtons were forced on us and we were going to be made to like them by them being at the center of everthing therefore no escaping them. I always felt the 3 core Braxtons were targeted at the 'he's fit, best show ever' twitter brigade that they comprimised every other character on the show, ignoring most of them and in some cases just getting rid of them (Angelo and Liam) purely for not being a Braxton and therefore deemed not as popular because they just assumed that the Braxtons were the best thing to ever happen to the show, especially Brax who i just found arrogant and insufferable. I also hated characters connected to them; Ricky, Phoebe, Ash, Charlie (who was one of my favourites until they paired her with Brax), Bianca, Henri, Sasha the list goes on. There was just no let up from them and it spoilt the show (the same way it did when Martha dominated absolutely everything a few years before).

The Morgans don't dominate the show. I'll admit i do find myself a little confused by their witness protection plot at times and it does feel like its dragging on a bit but i'd rather that than a flimsy 'everythings fine now, lets never mention it again'. Tori is probably my favourite, she works great with Nate and Duncan and Brody is coming into his own now as well. I had doubts about Justin, he seemed like a carbon copy of Brax but having seen more of him i'd say he's a nicer version and that makes him more endearing. He still has a few annoying traits but i can tolerate him in a way i couldn't tolerate Brax. Mason is the weakest, but i put that down to him being the least developed (and pairing him with terminally annoying Evie was never going to help). They are a bit isolated at the minute so that needs working on, but with the introduction of Hope and Raffy as well who i really like i find myself more invested in the Morgans than i ever was with any of the Braxtons (although i did like Heath, just not with Bianca who unfortunately he seemed surgically attached to in the end). Even Phoebe seems to work better with them. She's slowly been going up in my estimation for a while and don't find her anywhere near as annoying as i used to, she's like a new character around the Morgans than she was with Kyle and Ash. I'll never love them like i did the Sutherlands but i do see more potential in them than i originally gave them credit for.

Apart from Kirsty who I thought was fab and my favourite of the lot I couldn't stand them. I did like Max (I think his name was) Rhys's nephew, played by Rebekah Elmaloglou's brother.

It seems like they dominate the show to me. Every time I decide to tune in their on the screen. So annoying!

I'm not bothered either way by the Morgans, but do find their dog very watchable That's one gorgeous mutt.

However, without them I would not have had the laugh-out-loud moment that came from witnessing the scene where a massive storage container was opened to reveal a tiny black book sitting alone in the middle of the floor. Storage space isn't cheap, and anyone with half a brain would have used something like a Post Office box instead for something so small. Since the existence of this storage container seemed to come as a surprise to them, the family must have shedloads of money not to notice they'd been paying for it every month. And if not them, who? The 'contents' would have been auctioned off after a few months of non-payment - once the owners of the unit had stopped laughing

John being hospitalised with a bad back on the morning of his wedding and carrying Marilyn over the threshold later the same day seems quite credible in comparison

I'd like to see the character of Kat's boss developed a bit. His life outside of the police station can't be any worse to watch than watching Kat constantly angsting about her own dodgy judgement. All he needs is a moral dilemma or an interesting family with the usual Big Secret. And a nice-looking dog

The dog is the best bit of the whole family!

And I did laugh at the storage unit and then wondered where on earth all the Morgans money is coming from? Investing in a restaurant (Salt, what a stupid name!), renting properties here there and everywhere, cars, plane tickets etc., Cannot all be from Tori's salary and I have now noticed that she is being called "T" by one of the brothers (cannot recall which). The whole thing is so unbelievable even by the standards of H & A.

I hated Kane. I found the story about him being redeemed despite raping Dani quite abhorrent to be honest.

The character isn't bad - pity about the acting.

I don't think 'Salt' is such a bad name for a restaurant by the sea, but I do sometimes wonder why the father was desperate enough to get involved with crime when the family seem to have more money than the Hilton dynasty

I think they had savings. When Brody said he wanted to buy the restaurant the others weren't happy because it would mean putting everything they had into it. I think Salt is a good name for a restaurant on the coast - short and easy to remember and it has the beach connection, ie salt water.

I'd like to know if Tori was already a Doctor and they just changed the name on her certificates as she'd have been 23 when they went into WP or whether she had to change career and teain after that. I'd guess the former but you'd think.it would make urt easier for them to be found with a job like that. I thought WP usually insisted on changing professions.

They did have savings which would make sense as at least they'd have proceeds from the sale of their former family home and also life insurance from their parents. Decker also mentioned money so they probably get something from the State.

There was some nonsense Oz pace, not long ago;
Spoiler
Tori was supposed to go to a medical conference in Bali but then realised her ex would be there. She decided she would have to use her real name if she went. Surely the Medical Council who invited her would have used her Dr. Morgan name and would wonder what the heck was going on when she appeared with another name. In the event Nate went and she quit her head of A and E job as she had compromised Nate

The Morgan's are frankly put awful, on another note what is Phoebe still doing there, another annoying and awful actress and character that is grating to watch.

Furthermore why does VJ look like he's 30. He's meant to be 15? Yet he is getting married and has a kid with Billy, who is meant to be 23? Isn't that against the law with a minor?

VJ is 18. He celebrated his 18th recently. It's been three years since he's been recast and aged up. People need to get over it

Rumour has it that
Spoiler
Phoebe is leaving soon
.

VJ was SORASed when he was recast but even so he doesn't look 18. More like mid 20s which is how old the actor is. I think we could have got used to the age jump if the actor didn't look way too old. It is the worst recast in Aussie soaps. Even the new head then going back to the old head changes were better than him. Olivia has had her age tampered with too - she turned 18 early in the year but they've knocked a year off so she fits in with Hunter.

On Wikipedia it says he was born on 30/11/16 when he made his first appearance, so has just turned 15. You can't just recast and change a characters age Might as well make Alf 30 yrs old if you're going down that route.

We don't need to get over anything. The age change is frankly ridiculous.
