Tane is becoming more and more of overbearing character as time going along and longer he stays more issues he seems to have. I know lot character in past have become overbearing as time goes on but Tane is just getting too much.

I always thought it that was shame we did not get any rivalry between Pippa and Morag as I think it would good to see best mum vs worst mum and always like seeing fiery side to Pippa.

Mackenzie and Levi are both sociopaths. I know everyone who ever be on this show and Neighbours for that matter has be to some degree.

But they both bring on themselves so I will have absolutely no sympathy for either.

I have to say Marilyn having a daughter just for the sake of five minutes of drama. However I have noticed in the last few years storylines have got bit a over killed at times . I like Colleen being a Stewart as it gave us the funniest episode ever with the town thinking Alf and Colleen were getting married .

Did we ever hear about Martin Parents ?.

Because I feel there was not much more they could taken character due to show direction focus on teenagers. But do think could keep her around until early 1990 and coming to some even level with Bobby.

I still think they should have kept Morag around till 1990 and at least let her be a regular for one year.

I have to say I Preferred Dean more as bad boy and when was more villian and outcast to bay as his character to started to become bland. Dean character really become very stale in his last couple of years once Colby and Willow were gone and I felt he and Ziggy stayed for too long. Dean never really had any independent storyline’s that did not involve his love interest or do with his frineds . I really felt writers were wishing washing with his character towards end there was times when he edging towards his boy boy side then other times he was staying on straight and narrow and being self righteous towards ones who weren’t.

I actually enjoyed H&A early years more in 1988-1989 becouse we had more older characters like Neville and Floss and Celia and Morag and I understand why writers wanted to concentrate on younger characters given that’s how they felt they get more viewers but just felt more like stronger soap opera when they had wider range of characters. But do think Neville and Floss were limited to stories as Celia and Morag were more well rounded characters. It’s shame Morag and Bobby never gotten to some level of truce and not saying they should become into loving Mother and Daughter relationship overnight but at least grow to understand each other more.

Why didn’t Irene ever buy Bobby's share of the Diner and become business partners with Alisa? I understand her not wanting do to it back in 1993 when Irene first started becoming are reformed person but once she had been off drink for over a few years you would think Alisa would realize Irene had fully reformed and could be trusted as business partner.

When did Bobby knock down Pippa?

Seeing Brax dark side after Casey got killed !. I have to say Brax character really was overbearing at times especially in his later years and he had lot of issues. At the same time you could understand why he was the way he was. Sadly we really did not get to see Brax's likeable side so much towards the end.

Willow really went down in my books after her betrayal of Colby and then having the nerve to have go at Ziggy for hooking up with Tane. I loved it when Ziggy said you betrayed our friend, I didn’t betray our friend despite how much I said I hated what Colby did. I did not buy Bella forgiving Willow despite it appearing that way. I personally think it would had be better if Willow had stayed gone when she left at the end of 2020 . When Willow first betrayed Colby I thought Angelo had something over Willow to do with her past. Then I thought Willow might have had a plan to help Colby, but neither was right. I know Colby lost the plot at the end but Willow was the one that kept telling Colby to fight off Angelo by encouraging Colby to he digging into his past and there was times when Willow seemed to take Colby side more then Dean when Colby and Dean were fighting. Also I think Willow was scared off going to jail herself and so also did it too save her neck .

I love how much Alf spoke with such hate towards Barlow after he saw Barlow knock his daughter out. Alf really gave it to him about him being dog meat in prison. The scene really showed that Alf Stewart is not someone to get on the wrong side of.

I think could kept Billie around for few more months and have VJ and Billie leave together . Hunter and Olivia I think they could left together since they left close together. I know they weren’t couple and they were siblings but thought was shame Colby and Bella didit leave together after everything they went through and had circumstances being different in there’s characters storyline’s it’s likely would happened. But writers never seemed to give Colby and Bella break from problems they were having to face and witch normally cause conflict between them and I get they need drama but most times characters get break from drama for period but with Colby and Bella they never seemed get break from situation they had to face witch normal meant conflict between them. Matt leaving with his wife and sister was my favourite exit storyline ever as shown great character growth from bad boy high school bully into kind responsible young man and now husband and legal guardian to his younger sister Ellie as was hinted right from beginning Matt and Evie becoming couple and did not happed until much later and even when Matt was bad boy he still took care of his sister and knew was best for her to live with there aunt until he got life sorted and eventually he did and Ellie returned to him.

So if Vanessa Downing had stayed we likely would have never gotten Dale storyline . Personally I am alright older adult characters be more like supporting characters as it makes them feel more realistic.
