UK_fan Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Who is it? Mine are the Astoni's. I find them very interesting, likeable, complex, grounded, intriguing and charismatic characters. Ziggy is my favourite, but Ben and Maggie are great too and I hope Coco pops back soon and stays longer, she's fab. I hope some more family members are introduced at some point. Their family scenes are fantastic and I love the on screen rapport Sophie/Anna has with Kestie and Rohan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the Astonis took a while to fit in particularly with Leah and Maggie getting off on the wrong foot. I definitely don’t think Maggie is a simple mother hen type character as she characteristics other than being a mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a fantastic Principal, she's respected in the community, she's intelligent and well liked, she's a Mother, Wife and I like that she isn't stereotyped into just filling the Mother hen role by the show. Ben is very family orientated, he's got a stubbornness and temper to him, but he is also well respected and liked by the family and is also career focused too. The Astoni's have definitely been given a lot to do, but it's not been at full throttle unlike the Morgan's, who I think have had a lot thrown at them and sometimes TPTB end up over exhausting the characters and their popularity dwindles because of it or story telling, writing decisions or choices etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c120701 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just wish that the Astonis weren’t so out of everything in that farmhouse. It’s a nice set, aside from the living area, but I feel like it’s very insular. I really could see them in Summer Bay House with Ben running the Caravan Park.

Sunny Girl Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I really like the Astoni's as well. Rohan and Kestie have a great rapport and Maggie's cancer storyline was really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trudy Heine Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I like how Maggie and Roo appeared to become friends from the first time they met. The scene where they first met was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I agree with the Astonis (even with Coco being away). I also like the Colby/Willow/Dean/Bella 'family' dynamic. I kind of feel like families are lacking a bit at the moment? Not that I don't love the more unconventional ones, but I guess because nobody is fostering anymore and Jett left, you've got John/Marilyn and then Irene on her own, and the Morgans at times feeling kind of split up. I'd love to see another family join the show soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie! Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I think the Astonis are great. They really feel like an old-school Home and Away family in that they all clearly love each other and are all there for each other. Also, their storylines are all character driven instead of all the OTT explosions, guns and hostages that we have on the show. Including Coco, I think the four of them together really do feel like a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
