Alf Stewart is an iconic and one of the most popular characters ever.. After 25 years of being in the show, I'm a bit surprised Alf hasn't had a storyline of his own for a long time.

I find it totally unrealistic that none of Irene's children or foster children have paid Irene a visit as she has done so much for them.. When I was watching that YouTube video, it made me realise just how busy Irene's house was... I miss Irene's close relationship with Hayley etc. Think it's time for Irene to have foster or grandchildren in her house now

That was a hearbreaking old video of Irene... Lynne McGranger was fabulous but I hated Diane Fraser... Link to Episode 4011 removed - please do not post links to episodes on the forum

Irene needs big storylines so I'm hoping there will be new tenants moving in Irene's house.

I'm not saying he is the greatest actor of all time but between 2011-12 he definitely managed to out-act some of the others (not the older cast) and he could manage different scenes with ease. But this year whenever Casey is supposed to be sad, hurt, angry, happy... it just comes across as pure crazy. It does come across as forced and trying too hard so I am finding myself laughing more at the serious scenes involving Casey. I can't help it ! Agreed with you 100%. The producers obviously love Casey too much. There's no way he is talented like the older cast. It's a disgrace that Alf, Marilyn, Irene and Roo never get their own storylines. I am fed up of the producers giving the young cast big storylines etc

I prefer Marilyn and John as friends. I hope they don't fall in love etc... It's a bit too soon for John to move on from Gina

Lincoln is a "normal" actor.. He can act but he can't act that brilliantly IMO. He tried too hard but that's just my opinion.

I find it strange that Sasha never mentions Felix nowadays... Sasha was very close to her half-brother Felix in 2011..

Sally and Heath should have a great friendship IMO...

Lynne McGranger is a huge asset to the show. It saddens me that Irene hasn't had a storyline since her breast cancer storyline. I'm just hoping that Irene will have big storylines coming up this year. The same goes for Alf. I can't honesty remember when Alf last had a big storyline. Lucy Addario and Louise Bowes shouldn't give the Braxtons/teenagers/young cast big storylines all the time.. Home And Away is not for teens only. It is for a wide audience. A lot of older viewers watch Home And Away.
