j.laur5 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 I think one of best years of home and away was 2000 hes way. Good points 2000. Had Eight most longest serving characters with Irene Ailsa Colleen Leah Sally Sam Alf Donald. Leah Arrive Colleen is finaly back as Regular what should happed years ago. Had Sally weeding with lots of past characters back. Had Pippa say goodbye to Summer Bay house. Sam left after nine years. Ailsa finds her daughter and more about her history Mud slide New Dinner Great addions Bad points Ailsa Death Pippa not coming back for good Chelia not saying Ken Death Sally being dump at altar Judith leaving So what do you think of year 2000 and what do you like about it and dont like about it.
c120701 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 2000. Had Eight most longest serving characters with Irene Ailsa Colleen Leah Sally Sam Alf Donald. I can understand why you've counted Colleen (although longest serving is a bit of a push), but Leah? She'd only just arrived - surely if you're going to rate the 2000 season, you should rate it as you would have if the subsequent 8/9 years hadn't happened - so you wouldn't know Leah was going to become a long-serving character. I think I missed the bit when Sally got a load of past characters back to help with her gardening, but that might have been good. I'd also count Sam leaving & the New Diner as low points, whilst Sam had begun to annoy the hell out of me, that was mainly the exit storyline and his relationship with Hayley - I'd have liked him to stay. As for the New Diner, destroying 12 years of history, as with the Stewart house was pointless - I could see why they did it - as part of Ailsa's exit storyline and leaving Alf having lost everything - his home, his business and his wife, but the absolute disregard to two important parts of the show was ridiculous. Had they replaced them with something decent, I could understand but the awful Beachside Diner and apartment... The best parts about the Bayside Diner's destruction were the references to Bobby and Ailsa's reaction.
DinerLandlord Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Sam leaving wasn't a good thing. He was just about to get to the stage where he could have had some really great storylines and then they get rid of him! And who do we get as a replacement? That idiot Seb, of course.
Level Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Seb came a few years later imho. And I didn't remember that Sally did weed. ;o
Red Ranger 1 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, I think Noah was more Sam's replacement, at least with regards to age group and being Hayley's boyfriend.They brought Seb in when Duncan left to fill the gap in that age group.
Ryan Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 It could be argued that Seb eventually filled the grandson role for Fisher that Sam had vacated, but Noah did fill in for Sam in that age group.
DinerLandlord Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 It could be argued that Seb eventually filled the grandson role for Fisher that Sam had vacated, but Noah did fill in for Sam in that age group. That's what I meant. I remember a scene where Will had a go at Seb for using Sam's surfboard, because Will missed Sam.
Ashleigh <3 Lincoln Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Loved the 2000 storylines I was only 5 though
Emsan Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 This was an amazing year! It's one of my favorites, after 2005. It was really sad when Ailsa died and I felt so sorry for poor Alf. And yea Colleen should have been a regular from the beginning, H&A is not the same without her. She's one of the best. I really wished they could show some old H&A again.
homeandawayroxsomuch. Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Oh my God! The storylines of 2000 were absolutely legend. I miss everything about it - the style of the credits, the Robertson Brothers, the long theme tune, the characters, everything!!! It really sucked that Sam's age group just started falling apart that year when he left and then Peta and Edward left. From there, that age group took until the end of 2005 to completely go down the toilet with its originals, just leaving newcomer Jack to welcome Charlie and Angelo into that age group. Now it's just Charlie, Angelo and Hugo standing for that group. I miss Sam, Mitch, Peta, Edward, Will, Gypsy, Dani, Brodie and Noah loads!!! I also miss Jude, Charlotte, Jade, Nick, Duncan, Seb, Ailsa, Shauna, Pippa, Sally, etc, loads. All the living characters who I've just mentioned should return at some point as either guests or regulars.
