Update your Bookmarks

It's not too likely you'd have any, but if you do have any bookmarks of pages in the Actor or Character Profiles sections of the website, they'll no longer work. The reason for this is because we've just re-named all of the pages (as we did in news), so they now have fairly easy to understand filenames like "sutherland_dani.shtml" instead of "000214.shtml". Anyway, carry on......

Yes, we're still here!

You may have noticed the lack of major Updates over the past 3 days, but one of the reasons for that is because I've been having another reshuffle backstage. The News section has had a well deserved tidy-up and is now much easier to navigate. Instead of only being able to view entries Individually, you can now view them by Month and even by Day, as well as by Category. This gives you access to the full list of News Articles since July 2004, as opposed to just the last 20. The Homepage has also had a mini-reshuffle, but as...

Tammin's new single

September 2004 Editorial

Welcome back to Home and Away : Back to the Bay. It's the beginning of yet another new month and we've got lots in store for you! Firstly, sorry for the recent downtime of both Back to the Bay.com and EverySoap.com. BTTB.com's problems were down to Bandwidth - basically, we used the maximum amount we were allowed this month, so we had to wait until the beginning of September before we came back online. EverySoap.com's problems, on the other hand, were for a very good reason. The site has now closed, but has been replaced with a Home and Away-only...

Australian Spoilers

This article, which is from TV Week and was typed up by Darren contains Spoilers. If you don't want to know what happens, switch off now!...

Ten Degrees South

Just a quick note to tell you that 'Campus', the show previously planned to be a Home and Away Spin-Off show, has been re-named. The show, now called 'Ten Degrees South', will still be set in a University, but will no longer centre around ex-Home and Away Characters who have gone on to further their education. However, it's still entirely possible that ex-Home and Away stars will feature in the show, which is to be aired on Channel 4 in the UK and Network 7 in Australia....

UK Season Finale

Next Friday (20th August) sees the 2003 Finale hit UK screens. The finale aired in Australia 9 months ago and recently aired in Ireland, but as the episodes on five are so far behind the episodes in Australia (due to contractual issues when the show moved from ITV), it is only now airing in the UK....

Pinch punch, erm... last of the month!

It's the last day of the month, the last update of July (for around 330 odd days) and the last ever update for July 2004 (it'll never come again!). With one month gone, it means it's time to welcome August into our lives. But anyway, more importantly, get a sneak preview of what we have in store for you over the next month....

Campus Latest

It's been reported on both the TV Tome 'Campus' Mini-Site and now in Australian Magazine 'TV WEEK' that Campus, the Home and Away Spin-Off show announced earlier in 2004, is no longer planned to be a Spin-Off. Instead, it's been announced that the show will be a completely separate stand-alone. However, it may still star ex-Home and Away Characters, along with other non-H&A Characters. It's also been reported that the rights to air the show in the UK, which is now rumoured to be an hour-long and aired twice a week, have been bought by the UK's 'Channel 4'. This...

SPOILER: Who's going to Die?

It's been revealed who's going to be the next person to die in Home and Away. The death, most likely happening in the long awaited 2004 Olympic Cliffhanger Episode, will send shockwaves throughout Summer Bay and will greatly affect one couple....

Not another new design?

Don't worry, it's our final redesign.... ever! Well, for the forcible future at least. Yes, since we launched we've had two re-designs (No, I'm not counting the Homepage redesign which lasted a whole day), but now we've got this one, we're sticking with it! Sure, there'll be the odd tweak here and there (we just can't resist it), but this is the final big change. There'll be no more concentrating on design, our priorities from now on are content, content, content! And trust us, we have plenty of that lined up! This new design has currently hit the News Section...

H&A gets a new Sponsor

Eagle Eyed UK Viewers will have noticed that Home and Away on five is now sponsored by KFC. The show has been without a sponsor for many months, after the previous sponsor - BodyForm - pulled out late 2003....

Fans Divided

We've received a number of emails from Home and Away fans wishing to know when [b]Hearts Divided[/b] will be released in the UK. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like five will be releasing it, or any of the other merchandise that was released at the same time. We are attempting to get further information off five, and will bring you the latest as soon as we can....

Design Dilema

Regular visitors will have noticed our design has changed twice over the past week. Sorry about that, the orange and blue design had to go as it wasn't working very well in older browsers. The first redesign wasn't too popular, so we ditched that within a day. Now, we're left with this new, clean and crisp design you see here. The chances are the design will be changing once more over the next two or three weeks - but then that'll be it. Once we've settled on that design, which will be well thought out, fully tested and fully working,...

It is the event which will bring Summer Bay to its knees and place one of the town's most loved citizens' lives in serious danger! Next week, Summer Bay is held hostage by a psychotic shooter!

Welcome to the Website

Welcome to the brand new look Home and Away : Back to the Bay. As you probably already know, we've just finished completing our merger with Home and Away.org to create a bigger and better Home and Away website. Almost all of Home and Away.org's content can now be found here on Back to the Bay (details of which can be found on the Updates page). The only bits we've yet to transfur to the new site are the Episodes and the Picture Gallery - but they will be done shortly. More brand new content has already been prepaired (and...

Home and Away on Campus

It's been revealed that the recently announced Home and Away Spin-off will be named ‘Campus’. The show will be based at a University and will follow the lives of past Summer Bay residents who have moved to the city to further their education. Unfortunately, the Pilot show won't be filmed until the end of this year, so it's not likely to hit our screens until early or mid 2005. More details as we get them....

Home and Away Spin-Off

Seven Network Australia have revealed that they plan to make a Home and Away Spin-off sometime in the future. It's currently unknown what the show will be called, who it will feature or even if it'll be set in Summer Bay. The move is an attempt to boost ratings on Channel Seven, which have been falling over recent years. It is yet unknown if five, the channel Home and Away airs on in the UK, will broadcast the program. We'll bring you the latest news on the Spin-off as we get it and maybe you'll see a Back to the...

OzSoap 2003 Fiasco

I've been contacted by a Television Programme researching last year's OzSoap 2003 Convention Fiasco. As you probably know, the convention was due to take place late last year (1st and 2nd December), but was cancelled at the last moment due to lack of funds. Up until now, it would appear nobody who bought tickets to the event has received a full or partial refund. If you're one of the people who haven't, or you have somehow managed to claim either a full or partial refund, please get in contact with us and we'll pass your information onto the Programme. Our...

Credits Change

Home and Away returned to Australian scenes on Monday, 11th January 2004. It brought with it a brand new set of credits. Gone were the underwater shots, the 3d CGI Fish and the moving Character Boxes, and instead we were greeted with characters in Photographic scenes in front of beach backgrounds. More pictures of the fantastic new credits are available in the Multimedia section of the website, along with a RealMedia Video....

Au Revoir Ollie

New look!

We're in the process of creating a brand new look Back to the Bay to freshen things up, clear out the clutter and add some features as we go.
