Nathan's departure can't come soon enough

Dylan :) :)

I remember very little about 1994, other than what I've seen on youtube, so I'm looking forward to seeing what comes back to me. Also looking forward to the infamous Finlay/Carwash incident.

I remember 1994 when they first broadcast in the UK at the time and it seems like only yesterday.

I don't remember much of 1994...I was in year 9 at the time. Sally's age. lol I feel old. So I'll have some good stuff to look forward to. Really happy that 7Two is continuing the Early Years. Yay!

Why is it every time Don cries, I cry? I shed a tear or two then really started crying when he forgave Adam and welcomed him to the party.

Nathan is scum and why can't Sarah see it? And I thought she was supposed to be smart. Poor girl.

Shane is a hothead. There are a million reasons why Angel didn't tell him and why she gave Dylan up. And Nick's right its none of his business!

I loved all the costumes and especially Irene's. LOL loved it when Pippa and Michael left when she finally told them what she was and Tug's scary growl at Luke. I have a slight crush on Tug at the moment I think. He is my favourite character when he's not so negative nancy all the time. I also liked his scene with Alf in yesterday's episode, thanking him for giving him a go and all that. Like I keep saying Alf has always had a soft spot for Tug. Its so obvious.

1994 was a year with a lot more comedy than drama, giving it more of an early years feel despite the early years as we knew them being over. But H&A was riding so high on ITV and Seven so they could afford to get away with it.

The show was probably at its most exposed on the Saturday Morning/Evening Talk show circuit when the actors would visit during their storylines airings.

Can't wait to see all the stuff with Jack again!

Yep, it would be about Mid-1994 when the actual 1994 eps aired here.

Also, this was the year Thames/Carlton shifted the evening repeat from 5:10 to 6pm, I think...

Definitely right about the Saturday morning TV circuit, I remember...

Emily Symons appearing on Live and Kicking some time in 1994, talking about returning to Home and Away which we didn't see for at least a year.

[CaptainHulk]

I remember Dan Falzon vs David Dixon on an episode of either "What's Up Doc?" or "Gimme Five" arguing over whose respective soap was better lol.

I think it was partway through the 1994 season (August 1994 from us UK perspective), around the time that Jack showed up, that I started keeping a diary...That is going to get very well-thumbed in order to identify episodes.

Hi Natasha, I was at university when these episodes were originally broadcast.

I couldn't agree with you more about Nathan. Christmas 1993 was a real drag largely thanks to him. What was he going to do to Sarah that they would allow to be shown in a G-rated program, and Angel was encouraging this filth!! Now you can sort of understand why I was so against David and Revhead?

Speaking of Angel, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be honest with you and say I can't entirely agree with you on this. Shane and Angel were in a full-on relationship, but was it a bit early? Would you have rather her forget about Dylan altogether? Would she have ever shared her secret at all if Shane had not been on the police computer?

I hated Tug when he set Shane up, and I was still on Shane's side when he pulled that stunt at the musical. But Nathan unfairly taking the job off him changed all that.

And I was glad to see Shane seemingly becoming more of a friend to Tug when he stole Roxy's car.
