Oh yeah when she arrived they put her in to share Sally's room and Sally was (of course) really nice to her but she got mad one day and ripped up all the books from her shelves!

Yeah Meg and Blake, that was a huge defining moment! It was mentioned a few pages back too.

Sally was going to marry Ciaran, but right before their wedding he made a pass at Gypsy. Gypsy had to tell Sally and Sally didn't believe her at first because Gypsy was such a ho bag

Gypsy was excruciating! They went to such extremes with the character. Kidnapped, and remember playing up to that lesbian girl? And then impregnanted by Will...

I'm amazed at the memory power in here...I loved Sally, Sam was a pain in the arse and Bouncer what a dog...or was he in Neighbours. I think he got left in Summer bay and had to walk home to Ramsay street actually.I loved Irene she was my favourite mum. Poor Pippa was always carrying the washing or making dinner.

I stopped watching Home and Away around the time that Gypsy was going through her lesbian stage. I did hear that she had a baby with Will, but I wasn't watching it then. I thought she was quite annoying, and not very pretty. Didn't think much of her brother Tom either. Does anyone else remember when Gypsy and Tom met in an internet chatroom, neither of them realised it was their sibling they were talking to, I'm not sure we even had the internet yet in my house when this happened!

Do indeed, remember that. Shocking how much of this rubbish I remember! :eek:

Sally's dog wasn't Bouncer but Dag Dog. Don't know what happened to him though. Perhaps he ended up in one of those pies that Pippa baked for the diner.

Saul was the chap from the cult, evil bastid.

I remember Craig McLachlan being in it for a while, he had the mad laugh, like a donkey braying.

Argh!! Saul and Serena... That was some scary schit! I think that was about the same time as Chloe and her (the)rapist.

I have the very first episode of Home and Away recorded. Found it on YouTube, sorry if its alreadt posted. It wasn't all that exciting but some of the folk in it (some probably mentioned already):

Pippa (naturally the original Vanessa Downing)
Tom
Sally
Carly
Frank
Donald Fisher
Neville and Floss (a dodgy fortune teller whose predictions were normally accurate)
Sharon (friend of Carly)
Matt (the surfer- didn't appear in the original credits but did appear in the first episode)
Bobby
Ailsa (trying to help get Bobby's life in order)
Alf (had the shop even then)
Ruth (Roo)
Steven
Milko (Sally's friend)

It wasn't a very big cast, the original credits seemed a big dragged out with Tom and Pippa having a separate billing.

A few years back I had a row with someone that there were 2 Irene's, the alcoholic one who caused trouble and I think the current Irene has been there since.

Home And Away - The Romances DVD £3.98

This features a great extra - the full 90 minute pilot.

I bought the region 4 (Australian) version and it was even cheaper. AU$2.

Worth getting.

Was waiting for Michael Palin to say "spare a dinari for an ex-leper?"

The girl in that video (Marilyn?) is married to Matt Le Tissier now:eek:

Oh and Shannon.... mmmmm

Melissa George is very good in the new series of Greys Anatomy. She is casted as an intern and friend of Meridths.

Have to disagree there, I think she's awful! Actually that might be a bit harsh, it's really more the character I dislike and not the actress.

Ryan Clarke (Sam) was in some sort of documentary about lifeguards on Bondi Beach a couple of years ago. He's pretty much unrecognizable now.

That's definitely Sam! Didn't he turn up a few years ago and he slept with Hayley?! I can remember Hayley crying the next day or something. He wasn't very nice :pac:

Yep Bouncer was Joe Mangle's dog in Neighbours.
