There won't be any episodes due to coypright restrictions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M92FGy57Z4 The shot there: I imagine in 1991 Sophie gets moved with Haydn at some point, so I guess that's what Sally's gets. EDIT: It's used in 717 and 850, so presumably every episode between as well. I can't be certain of the episodes the changes take place. However my guess is Sally and Sophie together, when Haydn arrives, Sophie is moved to the shot with Haydn on a surfboard. This stays like this for most of 1991. Fisher and Bobby are together after Steven leaves in what is one of my favourite shots I believe. In 1992 at some point, Greg and Finlay are added. Bobby is put with Greg and Sophie is put with Finlay (Haydn only staying 150 episodes or so), and Sally then moves with Fisher. http://www.backtothebay.net/credits/opening/credits_92.shtml EDIT 2: He's still around in Ep962 after Sam breaks his toy JCB trying to give Dag-Dog a ride in it.

This is not a question about the airing of the show, more a feel on when as viewers we feel the show stops being the Early Years. Since the original 2000 repeats stop in about a month or two time, there's always been a definitive mark. Kind of like, those episodes that were repeated and those that hadn't. But on it's own 623 is not a particularly remarkable episode and nothing changes from 624. Had that episode aired one imagines it would still be thought of as the early years. If we break the show up into pieces, say 1/3's, the Early Years lasts till 1818, an episode that can be seen on Youtube, in which Selina gets hit in the face by a volleyball. Dodge and Steven have just went over the cliff and in a few weeks Shane gets hit on his bike. However, I look at this point and when I started watching it about the 2/3 moment and even as time has elongated, I still can't think of Shane, Shannon, Angel, Selina as the Early Years they were always a different to Carly, Roo, Frank. Or is it the cast. Only 8 really remain from those first episodes (Carly, Sally, Bobby, Steven, Alf, Ailsa, Fisher & Matt). Pippa exists, but in a different form and it's this one I tend to go with. Perhaps maybe you can argue what we are now going into, but I feel as though with Carly's wedding and the changing of the Pippa, added to the 5 departures recently and the addition of the Beach House, we've now left the Early Years and have entered a new era. Quite difficult to come up with a snappy slogan and one wonders if whilst showing great dedication to the cause, in 2030 we see the events of 2011 referred to as the Early Years, but I kind of begin to feel as though the episodes now shown as The Early Years are no longer the episodes I'd group as The Early Years, kind of The Fletcher Era

A 1989 Year Summary has been uploaded http://www.backtothebay.net/features/1989-...on-review.shtml

Ah, the McPhee house give me nightmares. The hours spent trying to find it.

If JosieTash has given you the OK to write current Australian episode summaries, you can continue with them. JT's summaries were never an official part of the site, more his unique take on each episode and so the decision whether you can take over would be solely his.

Ailsa and Celia's. There's been a few scenes in 1989 and 90 on the beach across from it, but none to show the area where the building was. I wanted to see if it were still standing because as I've said the fire looked pretty realistic.

One thing I keep trying to see is the old store in recent episodes, there's been a few shots from that beach, but filmed so as to not show what's there.

There's been quite a few updates over the past week or so.

To celebrate there's been some updates this weekend.

It must come in the next few months because it appears before Emma departs.

On the theme of The Stewart House, we've not been into the kitchen in the Early Years have we? Indeed, I don't think we've been in the dining room for a while!

I always find it interesting with these updates from episodes way back, comparing how it looked then and how it looks now. Some haven't changed, some are recognisable, but different and others aren't there any more.

A few more updates over the past few days - I found it interesting doing the 2009 Cliffhangers in what was a year I thought was awful just how much I don't remember.

Hopefully a start to more frequent updates - 4 profiles added this afternoon.

3 more character profiles added today.

I am missing a few half episodes in 2000 where I slept in or my Freeview signal dropped out. At the dance where Lara and Seb win the dancing prize, I'm missing the final scene which is Paris and Irene at the porch and a few of the episodes are Five ones which contain a few edits. But I've effectively got 2841 to the 2008 Olympic Cliffhanger on video, then I've downloaded ever episode since then (and actually before as well, really from the mid-07 when the files become really good quality) to now. So, that's a stretch from 2841-5360 (2521 episodes). I've also got copies of 0-467, and probably about another 200 episodes on and from various sources in between. So, probably about 60% of all episodes.

I think I remember pointing it out to you on Neighboursfans.

Five repeated 2841-3140 four years ago. I already had 3105 onwards on video so from a personal level, it didn't matterto me that they had stopped. Scary to think it's that long ago now! Then again around this time of year two years ago we were wetting ourselves that the Pilot was about to get repeated.

I thought I answered this. Ah, the curse of writing out and post and then accidentally closing the window I guess!

Some character profiles from the second half of the last decade have been uploaded over the past week.

Red Ranger, not to spoil things, but I believe next week in the UK episodes John Palmer is moved to cast. It's one of the sad things about no titles, I imagine they'd be a stir of excitement if he popped up next Gina after 2 years as a guest. Now, I'm not quite sure anyone noticed it.

Tam and Irene off the top of my head.

SORAS, a popular TV technique that allows you to get a decent actor in for a child so that it can have more interesting stories than missing pieces of lego. Some of the examples of it American TV are laughable, like kids becoming teenagers 5 years after they were born.
