News and Spoilers > July 2004

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.

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 is yet unconfirmed.

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.

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 and the Updates pages, but will be rolling out across the rest of the website very soon. Even better, each section it's rolled out across will be getting a large selection of updates and new content.

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.

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.

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, we'll be sticking with it for a fair while.

But for now, it's back to the content. We have some great stuff lined up for you over the next two weeks, so keep checking back for more.
