Inactive.User Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, after tonight, I would say let's get rid of 75% of the crime and go back to family storylines every week and reserve big crime and drama for every so often like 3-4 times a year and then smaller crime/drama around 12-24 times per year.

Homeandawayfan. Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 It does feel like H&A is not H&A any more. If it was still totally H&A it would focus on foster families, with some aspects of crime and vice, a balance. As said, I think that while it has a degree of crime, Neighbours is closer to Home And Away than Home And Away itself. It was very much H&A until 2005 but the show changed completely in 2005. 13 years ago, so the current format is 13 years old and with Louise coming back, I cannot ever see a revert to its roots for a long time. Then again Neighbours feels like Villainsborough at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me I’d get rid of 100% of crime storylines. The crime stories aren’t even written well. In EastEnders you have loads of crimes and baddies but the storylines are generally written intelligently and in an engaging way. Characters in H&A Just wave guns around as if that’s exciting. Hell I like the Willow character but she was INTORODUCED to the show working for criminals but being portrayed as a HEROINE??? It’s ridiculous. Justin didn’t even bat an eyelid. The writers have got their heads so high in the clouds they’ve lost a sense of realism altogether and it shows. I wish i could like this a million times, so true.

I don't think the Summer Bay police would have let Paul get away with murder for 13 years! There's even less consequence for wrongdoing on Neighbours than there is on HA! I actually think Home and Away is getting the balance about right.They do have problems with letting characters who are marked out as irredeemable off the hook too lightly (Hunter being treated as a lovely boy after leaving a trail of death and destruction, Mick being portrayed way too sympathetically for an unrepentant rapist) but they do seem to have toned it down somewhat: Ash has kept his nose mostly clean and Willow is kind of borderline dodgy rather than an out and out criminal.I'm hoping the show finds some way to exonerate Robbo, jury's still out on that one.I think since the middle of 2016 when we lost the Braxtons and Barretts the show has been moving away from criminals as protagonists and characters like the Morgans, while they get involved in a lot of crime storylines, are the victims rather than the perpetrators.It makes it easier to root for who the show wants us to root for.
