TelephotoMarigold Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Louise Bowes tweeted this earlier: @Louise_Bowes: Time to crawl into bed & watch a scary DVD to clear my head... And perhaps give me some ideas for Summer Bay night all. Seriously? More doom and gloom? I really want to respect Louise but she just seems to want to write ineffective crime-based events that have no impact or aftermath. There's been too many dark storylines in the past couple of years and it has to stop or be scaled back dramatically. I think it's beyond ridiculous and people are getting fed up. I know I sound as of I'm ranting but I just can't bear seeing a show I love be written the way it is. I hoped they would change the format as the ratings are falling but obviously they don't care. And you don't think that maybe she was teasing all the fans that follow her? Unless of course Roo and Harvey move to a scary house to take care of it for the winter whilst Harvey decides to write a book or the teens all decide to go camping at this camping ground where a little kid called Jason drowned years ago and his mother wants revenge... or maybe... VJ sees dead people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadyctslover Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'd love to hear Lucy/Louise give some examples of the 'light' storylines currently occurring in Summer Bay. Watching the show now, everyone is miserable, all of the time. It's not fun to watch any more. The spoilers suggest it's set to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was forever disappointed that they didn't take up my idea of a dance competition in 2006 so that we could have a waltzing Matilda. I'm sure I could come up with a ridiculous story a fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC10 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have been a huge Home And Away fan since 2004. Now the show has completely changed as there are too much focus on the Braxtons and I am annoyed that Alf, Marilyn and Irene never get their own storylines. Home And Away is too miserable and I have decided to switch off from watching Home And Away now. I may watch Home And Away again for their 25th anniversary. I bet the Braxtons will be heavily involved for the 25th anniversary. I will be enraged if Alf and Irene are not given much to do for the 25th anniversary.

Homeandawayfan. Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 H&A lost something more when Fisher left. The Shane, Angel, Damien, Bobby, Sarah, Fisher, Pippa years were priceless and a lot better than modern day Home And Away which is CSI Australia now it seems.

Light of the Bay Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think I've said this before but Louise gets loads of tweets from the same people every day praising the show and saying how they love the Braxtons etc.. Louise always replies to these tweets (as she should) and if she's asked what's in store for these characters, she usually says "they will be very busy". Now I asked her the other day (as did another user) what's in store for Alf and Irene next year and she hasn't replied to either of our tweets. I find it very strange and I'm fairly certain that she has seen the tweets but has chosen not to reply. It's clear to me that she simply doesn't want to or know how to write good stories for Alf and Irene etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear to me that she simply doesn't want to or know how to write good stories for Alf and Irene etc. Either that or a decision has been made that Alf and Irene are just to be background characters. If that's the case it would be a great shame as an occasional storyline from these talented players would help them broaden the appeal of the show.

Light of the Bay Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I congratulated Louise Bowes (along with Lucy Addario) on twitter today regarding H&A's 25th birthday. I then asked if she could confirm that 2013 will be a lighter year with all characters getting good stories of their own. She replied by saying " I can confrim 2013 will be a year of something for everyone".... I'm going to take that as a positive and hopefully it means that the older members of the cast will have as much prominence as the younger cast.

cadyctslover Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Let's hope so LaMurray123. I still find myself really enjoying the show during Braxton-free episodes, so if they've taken note of the overwhelming response on here (from the Braxton fans and haters) that they do get too much screen-time, then yes everyone will be happy .
