It's a big day for the Oz soaps. Did these two mammoth storyines co-incide down under too or is it just how it's happened here??

I haven't watched either since about 1991, so it's time I did some catching up !!

Didn't Neighbours get beaten with these two storylines? Or is it a regular thing?

Nice to see at least one thread that's only curious about timing - rather than one soap trying to score points off the other.

There's room in the world....

H&A beats neighbours every episode in oz, indeed H&A is one of the most popular shows over there and is actually sometimes the most popular, at the moment, as the shows that beat it (mainly lost and desperate housewives) are in reruns currently.

Ironic seeing as it's the other way round here.

As a big fan of both Neighbours and Home and Away, I watch them both on a regular basis, but I've got to admit, this whole stalker storyline in H&A has REALLY bored me as it's been going on for so long - I mean, we'd only just got over the whole Sarah thing, which I really, really enjoyed, and within 5 minutes, we had ANOTHER stalker situation - come on, it's H&A, a sleepy town, full of sea and sand - not the mean streets of LA! I've known who the stalker is for many months and the circumstances regarding why this person was stalking Summer Bay because I read all about it on various websites (including here!), therefore I suppose I kinda spoiled it for myself.... but I dunno.... the bloody police are so slow on H&A, it's staring them in the face, it really IS.... so I'm very :yawn: towards the whole storyline! But I AM looking forward to seeing the storyline between Flynn and Sally on UK screens sometime within the next few months. Just in case anybody's wondering about this, anyone who doesn't already know....

Right, Neighbours. Well, I've been watching Neighbours since I was little and I suppose I am more devoted to that than H&A purely because the differences between the funny characters in Neighbours and H&A are huge in my opinion - people like Coleen in H&A piss me off because she's plain annoying and very unfunny, where certain characters like Toadie and the gang, and Lou and Harold are great, very funny, believable and not over the top.

Today's 20th anniversary episode of Neighbours was just brilliant - I muist admit, I had a few tears in my eyes as it was lovely seeing the old characters back, and seeing the video of the characters that couldn't make it was just lovely, and quite sad, too! I know, I know.... it's only a bloody soap, but I, like many others, have grown up with Neighbours, and therefore have become really attached to it, along with H&A (when there isn't any stalkers on the loose!)! I'm very much looking forward to seeing the rest of this week's episodes as I've loved seeing everyone back for the celebrations!

Here's to another 20 years of Neighbours! Long may it continue to be enjoyed by millions of people all over the world! And here's hoping that Susan and Karl get their acts together and reunite VERY soon! He's well rid of idiotic Izzy!
