Back to the Bay News (September - October)

Our extensive Character Profiles section was once again updated, with entries for Tim Chambers, Kevin Baker, Katherine Landsdowne, Dane Smith, Mrs Hay and Mel Harris added. Our Episodes section was made even easier to navigate, with a re-build of certain features - making it easier for us to upload the episodes and you to watch them! And more comedic lines from 2007 and 2008 were added to our Quotes section.

Short summaries for episodes 345-350 (1989) were added to our Episodes section and Upcoming Australian Episodes was updated with the latest details from down under.

One of our main focuses over September and the first half of October was our News section. We reported on an event appearance from H&A favourites Jessica Tovey (Belle) and Todd Lasance (Aden), some of the cast and crew heading to Melbourne and Jason Smith's (Robbie) new venture in the fantasy series 'Legend Of The Seeker', including many other articles on the show and its stars.

As usual we look forward to bringing you the latest information and features in the coming weeks and months and hope that you continue to enjoy the site and forum!

Behind the scenes at BTTB September has been one of the hardest months in our forum history.

Skykat, our forum administrator stepped down from her role in order to concentrate on travelling the world. She remains on the staff as a part time contributor and will continue to help out with forum and mainsite business as often as she can.

Nick (Foxy) has rejoined the mod team. Nick had been under Contributor status for some time but as a past moderator he was the ideal choice to re-join the green team again and we're all very grateful for his continuing help during what has been a difficult period behind the scenes.

September saw me having to make one of the most difficult announcements I have ever had to make when I posted the news that our forum moderator and good friend Frankie had passed away after a long battle with cancer. Her courage in fighting her illness with dignity and without fuss only highlights what an asset she was to our team and just how much she will be missed.

For those who missed the announcement, Frankie's family have identified a few charities, listed here for which donations can be made in her memory if anyone wishes to do so.

You can send your donation via our donations page where we will be collating all monies and sending them to one of the charities as a bulk donation from all of us at BTTB. If you do wish to make a donation by any other means, then please feel free to PM or email me to arrange something.

Frankie's loss, on the back of Mar Mar, Liz and Skykat stepping down from their roles has left a huge void in the staff room. Despite the invaluable help of Foxy re-joining the team I hope you can appreciate that this is a difficult time or our forum and main site staff who are not only coming to terms with an increased work load but also with losing a friend.

We appreciate everybody's patience and support during this difficult time and would like to assure our members that the smooth running of Bttb main site and forum remains our top priority.

Thanks
