  1. Most time people drink Shakes and OJ and the odd Coke in that place!
  2. Chris is a what they call "a loveable tool".
  3. Well, the last significant thing she was involved in this year was the whole vs. Karen thing but other than she's been a side person but not a space filler.
  4. I think this is the first time St. Pippa's halo really slips.
  5. ^ I remember that, that was particularly jarring as a kid!
  6. Well, from what I remember Kevin has a lot of interaction with Shane and there's to come. Maybe instead of the Musical eps (Which were brilliant, among this year's best) , Bobby's funeral could been submitted by Andrew Howie for the AFI award that year but I imagine they missed the cutoff.
  7. That seems the most logical. Doubt either man could stand a mass outpouring of public sympathy (which they would see as pity)
  8. Seen up to 1311. It's beginning to feel like either Greg, Tug or Pippa could kill Adam at any moment. I understand their rage but it was an accident. Tug's being a knob again over school, Sometimes if you ask a question tooo much, you may wind up with an answer you DON'T like. Sarah was unfair to put it all on Luke. Bobby's death or not, Tug ASKED for the result and got it. Morag's return is proving a good watch. Everyone sees some form of humanity but Ailsa, as ever, is like one of those drug dogs at the airport who sits when they detect a whiff of something (usually Dope or Blow). Watch the ride. Chuckled at Damo's Alf impression, I think he does a Better Don if I'm being honest. Don't mind Kevin, I mean Wes Patten wasn't Logie material but you could do a lot worst for a guest. Lenny, despite being played by a reasonably known Aboriginal actor, Michael Watson, seems a bit of a non-entity and more of an accessory to this story but has served his purpose.
  9. Technically, Donald lost four children - Alan, Bobby, Oscar and Byron. In 1997, Marilyn suffered a miscarriage and they named their son, Oscar Why was that song played so much during this era. Also in Neighbours. The songs from 1984 "Soul Kind of Feeling" probably would have made the top 5 over here if released.
  10. Sam even went onto go from calling Alf "Mr. Stewart" to "Uncle Alf" too (well, he was technically his great uncle).
  11. It was made clear Bobby was 17 at the start, otherwise the Fletchers probably wouldn't have fostered her but had her as a tenant. Bobby's death did lose a bit of sting for me too, having seen it not so long ago. Floss and Neville would understandably be travelling, though they did manage to send Carly and Ben a telegram for their wedding. However, it's a tragedy the rest didn't show (Stevo, Carly, Roo, even Frank in spite of everything that happened)
  12. And months of "Adam the town Pariah" will ensue... Which sucks because, he had known her for four years, a good two and half before Greg even showed up. There was even a little ship-tease between with the flowers he gave her early into his stint and offered her the chance to sail away to QLD with him (before plans changed, i.e. his yacht getting trashed).
  13. Yeah every soap gets a bit of meaningless bullcrap subplot to distract from a major character's death. Same with Neighbours when they did the whole Amy/Lance/Jacinta mess when Helen died.
  14. ^ "Funky Junky" by Peter Andre (His earlier work that would probably make him shudder at the mere mention now). Both this show and Neighbours played the hell out of that track in '93.
  15. Good luck getting Matt Doran (Onto "Bigger and Better" things) or Tina Thomsen (Retired) back.
  16. The Exterior was shown from the '89 premiere but the interior was shown in episode 226.
  17. Gosh that takes me back, I remember seeing H&A on the front of my grandma's Woman's Own quite frequently now you mention it. This particular one was Inside Soap, got the TV Times version too but this one was more relevant to the questions people were asking in the thread. The other side of the page was talking about Annie Sugden still being in a coma after the Emmerdale plane crash (Dec '93), which puts a bit of a perspective on the UK timeframe I'll try to post a few more in the future when the storylines approach. He actually said himself that, surprisingly, he didn't get any abuse at all. The worst he got was two blokes shouting "Bobby Killer" at him at a set of traffic lights. There were lots of claims about him becoming the most hated man in Australia in the press, but they weren't true. Is it weird I'm picturing it as a drive-by insult ala Family Guy?
  18. *puts hands up* I often read Mum's Woman's Own for the H&A, Neighbours (Back when those two were getting mag covers) and Enders spoilers around that time period. H&A was probably the hottest thing on ITV at the point too.
  19. I'd more want to know about her 1995 return and the fridge business! If she is anything like Bobby, she'd probably have found it funny!
  20. I cheered when Shane stood up to Don too! I wonder if Mat Stevenson copped any abuse off the public (The kind of fans who can't tell real from make-believe) for this storyline...
  21. While there was a Genuine loss loss, the ship managed a steady course without her and the Mid-90s were arguably Home and Away's peak period (in the UK anyway). Shane and Angel dominated the show from there but others like Jack, Curtis, Shannon and Selina got their time to shine.
  22. Too Right. Gus Bishop, Joe Lynch and Scott Irwin, anyone?
  23. I honestly thought he was gonna start blubbering when he read the journal but that would be too Un-Fisher-like... (Although in upcoming eps, he may shed more than a few tears).
  24. It kind of feels like we're in the year of the stodgy parental figures.Don has suddenly decided to make Angel homeless for the heinous crime of having a boyfriend (his justification that she lied to him doesn't really hold water, since Shane and Angel tried to be upfront about it in the first place and he still threatened to kick her out):The fact that the other adults, bar Nick, seem fine with that is slightly worrying.And Pippa comes down hard on Sally for...nothing at all, really.Sure, Sally's taking advice from all the wrong people, and Fin's doing a good big sister act in trying to talk some sense into her, but all Pippa's seen is her dying her hair black.Which becomes slightly hilarious in hindsight when you recall Sally dyes her hair black around 2002 and no-one bats an eyelid. Well, a lot changes between 14 and 23.
  25. Chafing? Restrictive? There's dirty jokes to be made out of those words in but I won't as this is a FAMILY forum... Anyhooo... Greg's quick decline reminded me of one of those early Simpsons eps where Homer is kicked out for a marital error! Tug was always on Team Bobby as she went to bat for him.
