Ok, so it starts tonight here in Australia. I'm bringing it up again as is the annual tradition. I'm of course hoping for full open titles, except I know that's unlikely. So, what's your thoughts as to what will happen. Maybe a new 8 second bumper with the End parts of the theme as we've seen since 2018, or maybe a 15 second theme, or even a 30 second version, or maybe a 1 minute version? I'm at least hoping for some fresh bumpers, though I'd love to see the various characters in the theme and have it be longer, even if only for Monday's or longer episodes or the first one back.

Same 8-second song, but it looked like a new opening title, which was nice.
-
I have downloaded and shortened the original theme to 7 seconds, it just has closer each day, home and away. I added a fade-out which sounds good. I am not sure how to put it online, but if I can work it out I will post the link here. It actually would sound great on TV nowadays.

^ A teaser for the new 2019 opening credits?Possibly, it wouldn't surprise me especially considering the colour.

Were the 8-second opening titles used tonight new? If so, this could be an indication they plan to keep the current 8-second titles and just spice it up with some new titles joining the existing ones. I personally think that as long as they keep the theme song it is ok if they do that. I really wish they would release the full-length (1 minute or if they did record a full version like the 1988 and 2000 versions than those) versions of the 2018 theme song to the public and reveal the vocalist's names.

Is there a way to contact Home and Away? I have tried searching online but haven't found anything.

They should do what the Bold and the Beautiful has done and remaster the original titles but with modern cast and imagery. B&B also did little nods to its past, such as when Brooke is in the same colour and style dress as Stephanie in the original. Home and Away could use the full theme from 1988 or a version similar with the singers they have used this year for example on a Monday, or whenever they want to fill in extra minutes, this would have the cast and names of characters/actors. They could then use a very fast 10-15 second version most of the time, which could go "Someone you can rely on, closer each day, Home and Away." this version, instead of showing the cast would show the still scenery shots. Once the scenery shots are done, you would see the words 'Home and Away' on the beach, or on the pier, or the surf club, or near Summer Bay House, or near the hilly Eucalyptus Forests. They could use different shots to mix it up.

I thought Bobby moved in straight away to the house.
-
This has probably been asked before, but who took what room, and how many rooms were there in Summer Bay House Originally in the original season with all kids including Bobby, Lynn, etc.
-
What do you think will happen to the Opening and Closing Credits next year?
-
Does anybody know if they are still using all three versions of the theme song?
-
Are some states in Australia behind others? If so, either Seven should move AFL on Thursday nights to Mate or TWO, or, set up a sports channel, or, Move Home and Away to 7TWO.

Yup, it is another new one this year - pics are getting sorted for it and it’ll be a future update.
That’s one I’m not sure on at the moment - it certainly wasn’t the one that’s just been uploaded, but with it only being an interior it’d be pretty difficult to track down on its own.
At least only using three locations for the school in those first 20 years provided some stability of sorts... (even if they were vastly different) - in the last decade there’s been four more locations used, with another couple of random halls thrown in for good measure...
That's lots, Thanks for filling me in, do you know if the School has ever had to be bulldozed or has it just been gutted/repaired, because it should look more modern on the outside if it has been bulldozed.

A major location uploaded to the site today, to add to the two existing ones:
...otherwise known as 'the grungy one'
Though there was a good reason for it looking so run-down!
Do you know where they film for the High School currently? I thought the exterior looked different this year or late last year.

Luckily our soaps in the U.K. gives viewers enough credit to be able to grasp what's been going on without recaps. It's not exactly war and peace
and as for the next time on home and away rubbish. This just tells me that the channels hasn't got enough belief that the last scene itself is enough to keep people's interest. It wasn't needed before.
I agree, do away with recaps or make them ultra short and do away with the next time on Home and Away thing and replace it with opening and closing themes.

The recaps are longer for sure but I have seen longer than two minutes before. I guess I see why they do it. Home and Away airs a specific way, a story arc covered over maybe four episodes then not even a reference to this and sometimes the characters involved , are not even in episodes at all for a few episodes so you will have a general recap and then the recap from the 'storyarc' to bring that back to the viewers attention.
We get the exact same recaps in the UK. As for opening credits I don't care for them on any show these days. I did though much prefer when they did the recap and then the Home and Away logo would come up afterwards. Like from 2004 onwards.
I have seen this done weeks later to refer to something and been like oh yeah that happened. So I like the longer recaps
I would rather the theme, but you know, I think we can agree to disagree on that one.
-
Is it just me, or does it seem like the recaps are longer? I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but compared to 2017 the Recaps seem to be longer. Why don't they trim the recaps to 20-25 seconds and have at least a 30 second version of the theme, the recaps in the 90's went for way longer and they could still have the whole 1 minute song.
The version from the tour bus is 57/58 seconds, but because it was on Instagram and is cut off slightly, it goes for almost exactly one minute give or take a few milliseconds.
-
Someone needs to put that full female voice like the one Skylover posted on Instagram and make credits in the same style as the 1988 ones, but with the current logo and some new pictures where you see the seagull etc. and current cast. It would be good to show the various locations a bit. The font could be updated or kept the same, I would do it, but I don't know how. I would like to see it be done, it would be beautiful.
-
I honestly think we need to have a 30 second closing with the second verse of the theme, or 3rd. I also think we need both 1st and second verse in the opening, so the minute version, with characters.

Time to bring back the Jukebox! Who else agrees? Maybe we can also have the credits start with a character/characters in the diner putting a coin in the jukebox and choosing a song, the characters always choose 'Home and Away' and the theme plays, unless there are special credits.
