You're hardly watching Home & Away for the story line?

I like the way they only employ good looking actors. The likes of Eastenders and Coronation Street have become obsessed with "real people". To such an extent to where good-looking people are under represented.

I only watch Hollyoaks, a much more prettier place and about a two deaths a week.

Hot person A has problem.

Hot person B gives advice.

Hot person C goes missing.

Alf organises a Search Party.

The end.

I remember watching 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbours' when I was a kid. What always amused me was that someone would go off to the beach in a sulk or a huff, and when someone would go after them they'd be crying and getting all upset and angry and they'd tell the person to ''rack off'' and I just thought to myself, if you want to be alone to cry then why do you go to the beach where someone is bound to find you? I suppose they usually shared a room with 10 foster brothers/sisters so they wouldn't get any privacy at home either :pac:

Grow a brain mate!

Nothing beat Neighbours in the late 80s / early 90s. NOTHING.

Irene is the local boozer. Once I saw her struggling with a nagan of vodka and when everyone found out the whole place went crazy. Here if you don't throw back nagans you're the one with the problem.
In all fairness she's a good actress though.

My missus watches it religiously. I catch a few episodes as a result. I've noticed a few things.

There's always at least 1 cast member in a coma
Everybody has an iPhone
There are no children
Nobody goes to the pub

Any adult that lives in Summer Bay for a significant period of time will at some point foster or look after a teenager. Irene was such a bad mother she had her children taken from her and put into foster care. Then after living in Summer Bay for a couple of years she started taking in any teenage runaway that needed a home. The authorities never batted an eyelid over this.

Who's Toady banging these days?

I'll say one thing for Australian soaps; the characters can at least cry without snot flying everywhere. I remember catching a glimpse of Eastenders a couple of years ago when Phil Mitchell was crying about being addicted to crack. He moved his head and next thing a gigantic snot swung from his nostril and hit him in the eye.

I don't think anyone on home and away smokes

They're both set in coastal Australia, and so this part is extremely accurate.

Thats been pretty much it since they started. It obviously works though, Home and Away is on the go for 30 years, I think Neighbours is even longer.

I'd like to have a suitable Alf Stewart soundbite to use, but I can't think of any.

Is it true that Alf is a gay icon in Australia?

Home and Away and Neighbours etc.
