"Home and Away" drug - real or fictional?

fletch

Ever notice how you can stop watching Home n Away for months on end but all it takes is one episode to catch up on the pitiful storylines.
Oh and Australia must be FULL of runaway children who end up in Summer Bay. When they arrive, they are rebellious thugs, in trouble with the law and leave about 3months later, potential saints! :rolleyes:

Ya. And the people, often without jobs, just take the little rascals in. Pippa was the worst offender but Irene Roberts was also bad - taking in any old runaways, supporting them whilst working a minimum pay job.

Although there was one great character... Tracy I think her name was (I'm sure doh.ie remembers) who was consistently tormenting Sophie. She was irredemable and, in the end, they kicked her out of the house. But on the way out of Summer Bay a limousine passes her and this old one winds the window down and offers her a lift and she gets this evil smile, gets in, and drives off to victory... On a lesser note Pippa failed with Jack and he had to go to the navy to be finally redeemed.

That's right - Karen wasn't it? I'm glad I can remember useful stuff...

i always remember when Irene first came into it, she always wore a bikers jacket and had a cigerette permanantly in her mounth and a bottle of 'grog' in her pocket...

There was one episode where she was trying to get into Pippas house cos her kids (cant remember their names) were there and she tried to get in through the kitchen window..... and just look at her now. Never mind organised religions.... get to summer bay and the goodness willl change you to a better person in no time

Indeed. It's no wonder then that, when she got a role in Alias Season 3, Melissa George, who played Angel the wife of Shane "died of septescema" Parish

sought, and got, to play an utterly irredemable uber bitch

No, I think they're now changed this since or around the arrival of the no-different RTE TWO. The 6.30 (RTE2) episode on Monday is repeated at 1.25 on RTE1 on Tuesday and so on.

It used to be the way you described above, but now the afternoon ones are the previous day's. Something about keeping the 'repeats' (Fair City and Eastenders are in the same scheduling block) together.

Yes and I think they did all this with absolutely no notice given to the viewer...

Ah, this was great fun. Your memory is very good. I think she was Tracey Turner. Kept torturing Sophie by getting her into all kinds of trouble - of course Pippa, who had only known Tracey a wet week, believed her over Sophie.

I'd forgotten that. Was it ever revealed who that was? It's the kind of funky daft thing Home & Away did back when it was cool. Not so much ingenuity (if you can call it that) or cleverness for years now.

Not to mention Julian McMahon (he'd be Carly's husband) early success in Hollywood with Profiler a few years ago and latterly Nip/Tuck.

I also recall a girl called Viv (played by Moouse or Mouche Something) who I feel in love with as a teenager, expected her to go on to great things, but once she left the Bay, she was never seen again. (She was the one whose evil Reverend father used to lock her and her sister under the stairs. As they do.)

Mouche Phillips, didn't think she was any great shakes, but why do I remember her name so !!!!!

What a man. Now he's living under a new name as a millionaire in Orange County, California and getting to bang a woman young enough to be his daughter. Respect.

Anyone know of a website that maybe charts and has pics of all the different characters that have been in it?

Dammit I didn't read about the fact today's afternoon episode was a repeat and so I didn't set the videotape All this after forgetting to watch last night, despite knowing of this plotline for over six months! And now I'll miss it

gazzer

Cake's the worst of them. There's no scientific basis for it, but it's fact.

The threat is real

Noel Edmonds;

Indeed. Don't forget that this very important issue was raised in the UK Parliament by a Conservative MP back in 1997.

As for the car crash, if

Seb walks away from that without serious, serious, serious injury, it will be nothing short of a miracle. And unless I turned away for a few crucial seconds, at what point exactly did Duncan manage to get out?!?!

Ooh, excellent. Trip down memory lane. Ah Will Smith, he was a ride. And Bobby, I used to love her when I was about 5, was so gutted when she died. Bobby and Tim, remember they used to sing the opening song together And Shane & Angel with their pet pig. Pity Greg isn't there.
