carchaeologist · 02-10-2008 6:44pm #1

This is the thread for all home and away fans back to the early 90s,seems everyone watched it when i was in school,and even now its perfectly timed for half an hours lazy TV after coming in from work...

What characters can you remember?:)

kaimera · 02-10-2008 6:49pm

isla fisher.

that is all.

MooseJam · 02-10-2008 7:39pm

who was the guy with a flop over fringe and a tiny tiny mouth, blew in with his sister

NAGGIE03 · 02-10-2008 8:01pm

Think that was Curtis! Shannons ( Isla Fisher) bro!

Great idea for a thread!
I remember the ads for it starting on itv! Poppa and tom and all the kids introducing themselves!
I'll still never get over Meg dying in Blakes arms on da beach!:(

stovelid · 02-10-2008 8:56pm

Alf 'flamin' Stewart. Am nearly sure I once heard him declare (in heated defense of his aussie-ness) ) that he was a pie and peas Australian. Maybe somebody else can confirm.

carchaeologist · 02-10-2008 9:45pm

Sophie...What was her real name?

NAGGIE03 · 02-10-2008 11:33pm

her name was Rebekah Elmaloglou or something like that!

445279.ie · 02-10-2008 11:37pm

Ah Pippa and Frank - how I wanted to be fostered by them.

The original Pippa was the best

kerash · 02-10-2008 11:44pm

Bobby! remember when she appeared out of the fridge (like you do) as a ghost like vision to Ailsa, was it? Poor aul Bobby:(

Ruu_Old · 02-10-2008 11:45pm

I remember this chap was flirting with Pippa and Tom decking him in the surf club, great moment. He died of a heart attack in the show (original Tom).

Lane and Martin were great the first time around and joined the army. Lance brought the tank to the bay and ran over Ceila's bike.

RTE 2 has been showing it since the start. Lots of memories of it.

themadchef · 02-10-2008 11:48pm

Ah the good old days. 2 tv channels, 1 telly and we still managed to fight over what to watch!

Dad would come in and just switch over to the news and we'd act like our lives were about to end

Cue 3 teenage girls and lots of "nooooooooo watch the 9 oclock news!!!"

Names, fishers long lost daughter...was it Bobbi? Morag the nasty auntie from hell type, and yup good old Alfie "good on ya mate". Always remember there being no pub? and "yabbey creek" seemed like a mighty place all together!

Lived and died for Summer bay back in the day.... cringe.

i enjoyed watching sally "blossoming" into a young woman as i errr became a man.

TheDriver · 03-10-2008 11:25am

I remember Megan and remember the big crack in Don Fishers house walls! And Tug, didn't he burn down Celia and Alfs Shop before they got the one with the turnstyles which Sally tried to defraud when she put weights into recycled cans bag to get more money before they moved the shop to a small convenience store model when the big one went bust. Who remembers Michael and Tom and Michael died in the usual flooding that Alf mobilises the surf club volunteers all the time. And someone got run down by a train. Damien was a vicar at some stage and Selina with the interesting shaped mouth! Oh the memories!!
The first episode is on youtube btw

That scared the living **** out of me back then. I was afraid to be left alone in the kitchen for weeks!

Think it was Blake, but then they did reuse storylines every couple of years

yeah that was him, used to do my head in

Roar · 03-10-2008 3:46pm

remeber when irene first came into the show as the alcho with tight bleached blonde hair?

wasn't she the mother of damien, the guy who went on to play mouse in the matrix??

MooseJam · 03-10-2008 3:48pm

yea she was one of the biggest turnarounds from bad to good

Estella · 03-10-2008 8:58pm

Is Alf " flamin gaalas" Stewart still in it/alive ?

Pippa getting a new head and no one noticing was a standout story line for me.
Ah... it was great though, 30 mins of sunkissed TV, before sitting down to do your homework in rain sodden Ireland.

gogo · 04-10-2008 12:11am

Wasn't tug the bad boy in it, he once drank salt water before going to school to make himself sick, half the lads in my town then tried this a week later -

Priceless. The lads in my town use to say they were going to do a "tugster" to get out of school. So cool!

Just found this! Classic

To this day my older brother still calls me "The Summer Bay Nutter"
Anybody else remember that storyline?

Ruu_Old · 05-10-2008 3:05pm

He was the headmaster before Don Fisher (Flathead

), went around leaving creepy notes and other nonsense. He wasn't well in the head.

Episodes were around 22 minutes actually.

'Blake' reappeared on Aussie TV recently playing a complete psycho in 'Underbelly' - he was surprisingly good.

I think he started some fires as well. He was an old guy, no idea of the name.

Remember Fisher's son Alan. Oh My God we looooooved him!!!
He died of a brain aneurysm. Even to this day, when I hear that word I always think of Alan Fisher LOL

pseudonym1 · 05-10-2008 5:58pm

Ahh - forget most of it watching it at 6-30 (i think) each evening on RTE 2 aka Network2 was my life..
Marylin fishers wife is now in emaerdale. When they changed pippa to an actress who vaguely resembled her lost the faith!

IanCurtis · 05-10-2008 8:36pm

Sophie was the best....had a massive crush on her when I was a young lad

dlofnep · 05-10-2008 9:12pm

I remember the actor who played Pippa changed. One week she's Pippa, next week she is some other one.. They acted as if it was just the same person. I remember being really confused by this.

Also, that little blondy guy Sam. What happened to him?
