Old H&A Fan

It was published in TV Week about a month or 2 before it happened, from what I can remember

I am still not 100% clear whether Alf and Alsa were living together 5 months before the pregnancy was discovered. Do they conveniently distort times and skip periods of times to make it difficult to tell how long 5 months on the show is?

How did the man behind the poison pen letters know Mr Fisher was Bobby's father? And was he right about Alsa getting pregnant to that priest "friend" of hers who looks like Murdoch Roberts? I mean they weren't living together at the time Alsa was made pregnant?

I've recently started from the beginning again. I can't find the "1988 episode discussion" thread, and not sure if it belongs in the Amazon Prime thread, but I have a nagging question about this Frank and Roo affair. Roo is sent away to Boarding School because Alf couldn't control her (she is angry at him for having an affair and later marrying Alsa). To rebel against being treated like a kid, she decides to do something "adult" and sleep with Brett. The first we hear that the sex was unsafe and led to pregnancy was when she saw this doctor (under a false name), and she told her she is definitely pregnant. 1. Why did she and Brett not take any precautions? 2. Why didn't Roo take the morning-after pill? 3. Why did she not seek an abortion, why did she insist she would keep the baby even though she was obviously not ready?

I wish I knew myself. It's the same song on the jukebox that is playing after the commercial break interrupts straight after Damian thrashes Shane for going out with Kelly, who was supposed to be going out with him. (1108)

That comment isn't even funny.? Looks like I'll have to spell it out to you in language you are more likely to understand. How can the show "over-explain" something?

How can you say the show "over-explained" something? If anything, they under-explain so many other things, and this one actually needed explanation! This is a frequent frustration I find when watching the show. So many things not making sense.

My information on those episodes is rather patchy too, maybe I misread something slightly.

I have watched Episode 1913 on PLUS7 under "Births, Deaths & Marriages", and something in these episodes and around this time doesn't make sense.

Aha. If Dieter wanted to go "ASAP" that would explain the rush job of an exit he had (and it seems I was right in saying his exit was a rush job). Shane & Angel couldn't leave together, it looks like because Angel wasn't quite done yet, so Angel was left a widow without Shane for awhile. Shane's death meant he would have a permanent exit, he would never come back again.

I don't know if this has been answered before, but how far ahead was Shane's exit planned, and when was it decided Shane would be killed off The reason I ask is because it seemed quite rushed. His ashes were buried at sea only a couple of episodes after his death, and there wasn't much of a reunion (only Damian returned for one last visit)

How do they come up with the weird spellings for some of the characters in the show, such as: Nick and Shane "Parrish" with 2 rs Tug "O'Neale" (instead of O'Neill) Hayden's name being spelt "Haydn" without the e

When trying to find out what is going on with The Early Years, bear in mind that, as stated in my recently-closed thread '7TWO Transmission Discussion', it is my belief and understanding that Dan F and the team have done everything they can to enquire with the highest powers at the Seven Network (the Director Of Network Programming, and the Content Rights Manager), and is standing by on a long-term basis for answers and updates, while conceding that we may never know really why the plug was pulled.

Between when she was arrested over Rita's finance company heist and when she was shown in jail with Danni, she was out under another different name, as Marilyn's "aunty Jean" (aunty Joan)

Maybe devices with touchscreens don't recognise hovering mouse cursors. You point your finger at something and it's like clicking something straightaway. What happens if you hold your finger down on the loveheart icon?

There seems to be a proliferation of initials in coloured boxes in avatars. First Google+ platforms, then Apple, now the software that runs the BTTB forum. CaptainHulk has a big "C", KKB now has a big "K", Laudix now has a big "L", and so on.....

You got it in one! Getting rid of David was the best thing she did for the people of Summer Bay, especially Pippa and Michael in particular ................. ........although to be honest, she doesn't deserve a statue for hanging around with that Revhead creature, I grant you that!

Good. Serves the xxxx right.

You mean in reference Lance and Martin? Remember when Tom Fletcher said they were as "sharp as a pound of wet leather"? That was when Lance and Marilyn trashed Alf's dinghy and Lance promised in the end to go down to the bank and pay for a new boat

A recipe for domestic violence and broken marriages/families if you ask me. Hating does not belong in dating and mating relationships. This may sound like I am taking that too literally, but it is so obvious even Lance and Martin can work that one out easy.

In Episode 1880, during the montage when Angel and Dylan were scattering Shane's ashes into the ocean, some memories of Shane from past episodes were shown, including Angel's debut appearance at the Frente concert at the Surf Club where she seemingly gets defensive when he asks her about her name, and of course the wedding. Why was the scene of Angel shouting at Shane for barging into the bathroom when she was having a shower, included as one of the memories Angel were having of Shane?

I have found the track that plays in Episode 1877 when Shane is teaching Dylan how to use his new compact camera, to be called: Shake Uwaye La by Swoop. No prizes for guessing about the much, much, much more widely-known Hunters & Collectors track at the end of this episode as Shane passes out. Why wasn't the Swoop track in this episode included in the Sounds Of Summer Bay CD released in 1996/97? Who compiled that CD and why?

Why did Joanne Brennan take her sexual harassment complaint against Mr Fisher to the police instead of the Department Of Education or the Anti-Discrimination Board?

Marilyn has made several long-term full-time stints in the long history of Home And Away. There from 1989 till 1992. Gone, to marry Phil. That failed. She came back in 1995, stayed another few years, married Mr Fisher, then that relationship failed as she couldn't handle the death of her baby, and left again, around 1998? I can't remember the other long-term stints, but she came back again a few years ago, still currently on the show. The pattern has been a few years here, a few years away, a few years back, etc.
