beau_t Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Ha - Breakers! There's a blast from the past. I remember the theme song which was very 90s. There were 2 versions, the 2nd one was a lot better and had classier titles. Like others have said, it didn't offer anything original that couldn't be provided by Neighbours or H&A and for that reason I never really got into it, but I did dip in and out. I guess it was like a mix of the two... a busier suburban location, but located on a beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHulk Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Basically, it was a Sydneyfied Neighbours (which in the beginning they tried to sell to the Sydney market via 7 before its original cancellation in 1985) with a sprinkle of Enders on top.

alexx Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I just watched the first version of the opening and it has a very 'British' feeling about it that I can't pin point. The second version looks more like H&A's 1998 opening. No one seems to remember it whenever I've brought it up. It was like Channel Ten was trying to replace Heartbreak High (which moved to ABC from TEN) with a lower budget. more soapy alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Girl Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I never watched it but I do remember it. Ada and some of the people who played her family on Home and Away were on it. Salvatore Coco, I think? And Lara Cox started there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau_t Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I remember the stand-in Selina from H&A was in it (the "Temporary Tempany", if you will). I warmed to her in H&A... am I imagining things or did she return much later in the mid 2000s in a different role? A doctor or nurse, I'm thinking?

They even have Ada talking incessantly in her opening titles shot... love it! Seriously though, how long was that opening sequence?

Louise Crawford doesn't have any additional H&A credits on IMDB. She has played the recurring character of Ellen Crabb on Neighbours over the last few years though. It took me ages to realise who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau_t Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I realised I was thinking of Bianca - the actress that tempts Vinnie to cheat on Sally. She later came back in something to do with the hospital I'm sure. That's another storyline I'm really looking forward to seeing again: On The Crest of a Wave resurfacing to haunt Donald - first when it was added to the school syllabus, and then the whole story of it being made into a movie. That was a GREAT idea for story. It makes me wonder who Bianca was supposed to be playing though. Bobby? Or was it never mentioned on-screen. I guess we'll find out in 3/4 years if TEY continue!

Sunny Girl Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Lara Cox looked nothing like Bobby or Nicolle Dickson ?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The producer was gonna turn it into a cheap film with model type people not representing the reall Bobby or how her and Alan's story was. They were going to have them in a incestuous relationship. It was pretty much gonna be what the current home and away has turned into until fisher put a can on it. Just now, Blaxland 89 said: I think that was the whole idea.

He said she was before his time so he couldn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
