c120701 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Sad that there is no mention on the official site. Has there been any tribute from the show?
Dan F Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 There was a small mention on the Facebook page about 7 hours after BTTB broke the news. There may well be something on the OS later on but they'd either have to rewrite our own tribute or do a fair bit of their own research first, as I doubt there's many people left in the office (certainly not in publicity/website dept) that knew much about him. I did suggest to Lucy Addario that perhaps they could put a tribute caption, similar to the Belinda Emmett one, at the end of an episode - no reply but we can only wait and see.
Sabrina Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 That's such sad news. R.I.P Alan Bateman.

Yes, I suppose that is the case that few remain from his time. I hope they do the tribute caption - he really did have brilliant vision - the whole fostering concept with the dramas it offered and the easy explanation of the comings and goings of characters it gave, same with the Caravan Park. Looking back again at the Drop-In-Centre much later on and the mixed opinions of the community reacting against or for it opening, really was harking back to Alan's original inspiration.
Light of the Bay Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 It's a disgrace that there is no mention of his passing on the official site. It's a shame to say but the Home and Away we have now is not the same show that he created all those years ago.
Dan F Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Just been contacted by the online producer who has chosen to use our article with a link back to BTTB - you'll now find it on the official site.
alexx Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 I'm surprised they didn't have any sort of caption/tribute I.e 'In Memory of...' at the end of Monday's episode.
Inactive User Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 I'm surprised they didn't have any sort of caption/tribute I.e 'In Memory of...' at the end of Monday's episode. Maybe they will mention it by the end of tonight's episode or Friday's episode tomorrow evening, I suppose...? RIP Alan. All my thoughts go to his family.
