Dan F Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've now merged all discussion of Dan Bennett quitting into this thread, as people were posting the news in various threads (some unrelated) after already reading it in others.

Light of the Bay Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 How very odd. He seemed to care very much for the established history of characters and I did like the direction in which he was taking the show. Lucy Addario needs to step down and we need a decent producer and better writers who understand the past of the show and how to utilise it for the future.

adam436 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 After dreadful years from 2005-2012, Neighbours got themselves a new producer in late 2012 who cared for the show and it's history, and the show imrpoved in leaps and bounds. Hopefully with someone with the same outlook at the helm of Home and Away, something could be done and the show can return to a watchable state. Home and Away hasn't been the same since 2000 and I stopped watching on a regular basis in 2005. If they could bring the show back to its roots and tone down the crime, drugs and violence element, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence our concern at his sudden and early departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozlovesh&a Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 It really is very odd. Hopefully someone good will replace him. The last half of last year was fantastic. i wonder if he really is going travelling or if he was forced to say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC10 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think it's strange that he has left the show after 6 months. I wish him well for the future. I think Lucy Addario needs to move on now. She has overstayed her welcome IMO. She's still producing HAA but I think the show needs fresh new producers.

Red Ranger 1 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 This is somewhat worrying.It's hard to shake the suspicion that his attempts to bring the show closer to what he thought Home and Away should be weren't entirely in line with other people's idea of what the show should be like.If that's the case, then the show could change without him around and not for the better.

Homeandawayfan. Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 That is my worry as well. Lucy has been at the helm for almost 4 years, surely she should be thinking of moving on soon though. Maybe the Channel 7 bosses think the show is losing popularity and wants it to revert back to the Underbelly CSI style of the show. In that case I shall deffo stop watching for good. Neighbours has not sacrificed its roots this bad to become something it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
