It's not a criticism! I love a bit of over-the-top, all guns blazing drama. I love a bit of dramatic music. But I'm just watching it now and Maddie has wandered off from a party, and within ten minutes Alf has already got all the search team down to the Surf club (you know the guys in orange jackets that always turn up whenever someone falls off a cliffs or goes missing in a boat - the sort of normal, weekly occurence in Summer Bay) and Irene has whipped up some sarnies and teas for the troops. On a separate mission the detective dude Peter has started investigating the case - and of course Flinn is at the hospital taking charge (funny how he's always the doctor on call in every single medical drama....) And I'm watching this and I'm like... whoah. In the UK it takes the police like a week to come round when you call them. I'm thinking that Summer Bay might be the place to live. If it wasn't for all the murdering stalkers and everything I'd be straight on a plane.

I love it! This beats Sunset Beach

I think it's getting ridiculous these days the only storylines they seem to do are either..

1. Someone going missing at sea/in the bush (in either case Alf always heads the search team)

2. Someone finding out they have cancer (Sally, Colleen, Kane and soon
Spoiler


3. Someone being stalked.

We're not slagging it off - we're just criticising some parts of it. Often the most criticism comes from loved ones, and I love H&A so don't get me wrong. I watch it every day. But this a forum so we're allowed to talk about good and bad thing about the things we watch, and we're exercising this right!

Last time I looked this forum was for people to voice their opinions whether they be positive or negative.

I think if in real life so much had actually happened to such a small town, most people would have moved away to save themselves and their families before the next natural disaster/stalker/killer struck.

I think in some ways Home and Away is a lot better than the Bristish Soaps.
