Skylover Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 What are your favourite scenes/moments/episodes from the early years? Please only include 1988-1995 As I haven't seen 1996-2005 all the way through. 1988 Pippa speaks to the Summer Bay Nutter Carly talks about her rape and the dangers of hitch-hiking during school assembly Lyn tells her dad to get out when he tells her he doesn't want her to come home Celia is grief-stricken on Anzac Day remembering her fiancé who died at war 1989 1970 Summer Bay flashbacks Morag talks about getting pregnant with Bobby and how it caused the breakdown of her marriage 1990 Sally has a hard time at Christmas without Tom 1991 Karen runs over and kills David by accident Nothing from 1992 or 1993 springs to mind. 1994 Pippa loses her temper at Jack after he leaves the oven on. Sally blames Pippa for Michael not staying for Christmas dinner. 1995 Ailsa hallucinates and sees Bobby come out of the fridge Alf says he will never forgive himself if Angel doesn't recover from the injuries of her car crash. Not sure what else at the moment, I'm sure there's more, but these things immediately spring to mind to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau_t Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Great thread (but really, nothing from 92 or 93?!) 1988 Alf telling Ailsa he doesn't want to end up with a knife between the shoulder blades Pippa trusting Lynn with her secret about how dangerous her pregnancy is before Lynn leaves. Donald watching a surfer scatter Alan's ashes. 1989 Donald and Bobby's chat outside his house after the truth comes out about him being her father. Steven's nightmare about his parents' death (but set in Summer Bay House with Tom and Pippa playing his parents... so chilling!) Roo finally seeing Morag's true colours and threatening to publish her secret manuscript if she continues to hurt people! (such a "Go, Roo!" moment). 1990 Sally getting Pippa to cry after Tom's death Tom's funeral with the flashbacks Sally and Lance saying goodbye to each other (Whyyyy does she never mention him!?) 1991 David and Sophie's romance / Karen killing David Miss Crawford telling Finlay she'll lie as much as she has to in order to keep Finlay out of school (such a horrible moment of someone using their power to hurt an innocent child). Bobby running away with Sam. 1992 Sophie giving birth to Tamara and Marilyn's hilarious involvement ("I'm a bit nervous... it's my first time." ) Meg's heartbreaking storyline and I remember being so conflicted between hating Julia's unreasonableness one minute, to feeling unbelievably sorry for her the next. 1993 Dale's death - possibly the most harrowing episode in the show's history. Bobby's death and funeral Alf marching Morag out of Don's house and then throwing her out of the family! 1994 Irene's sleepwalking! Irene and Donald's blind date Tug's attempted suicide Finlay going through the carwash! 1995 Angel trying to get out of bed and collapsing on the floor Laura's shocking death Bobby's ghost taunting Ailsa "What's the matter with you standing around blaming everyone else? You were never like this!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremai Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I watched the show from the beginning but was only 8 when it started in the UK so I don't remember much from the original showings of the first couple of years. However, there are some scenes that have always stuck in my head. Some are random like Alan and Bobby's dinner date in the store, Rory discovering he had the wrong Tom and Pippa, etc. Others are more dramatic like Dodge burning down the store, Rory being attacked by the shark, and Morag finding her house ransacked and graffitied by Danny. I was literally terrified of Morag back then! It's funny watching these kinds of scenes again many years later. Some are exactly as remembered whilst others are completely different. As far as favourite and memorable moments and episodes go, here are some that haven't been mentioned already: 1988 What-if scenarios showing in black and white who might have pushed Gary Samuels off the cliff (the dummy going off the cliff is hilarious) The festive closing titles of the season finale; shame they never did any more special closing titles after that 1989 The new season starting with a TV ad for the Sands Resort Donald and Bobby flashbacks after she finds out he's her father The fire at the store Marilyn's first scene Lance, Martin and Marilyn's music video Rory and the shark 1990 Tom's death - this actually managed to make me cry watching again 20 years later 1991 Floss and Neville's van getting a final outing Evil Irene! 1992 Bobby and Frank flashbacks after Frank's return 1993 The reappearance of Bobby's school trophy (with obligatory flashback) 1994 Irene as Santa being airlifted by helicopter 1995 Marilyn's return The bush fire Dodge's return Selina's weird hallucination with the giant Irene head!

I liked 1993 more but I view 1992 as the clear low point based on the 1988-1995 repeats. Still better than some recent seasons but still a low point. I probably enjoyed Shane most from that year. I thought the Meg/Blake story was pointless and depressing. Fin and Damian are probably other highlights from that year. I also really hated Greg looking back, but I'm not sure if it was 1992 or 1993 when he became truly horrendous as a character, he was so self-righteous.

Homeandawayfan. Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Donald dressing as a punk in 1989. Shane dying. "Bobby" coming out of the fridge. The Summer Bay Nutter calling Pippa. Blake and Meg was nothing more than a "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" fling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
