Bri1231 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Heads up. The storyline currently airing in Australia will serve as the UK Autumn finale in November. It appears, for now, that this would be a mid week finale on Channel 5 in order to maximise the 'big cliffhanger' for return in January. I would also imagine this will be the farewell episode at 6pm.

homeandawayroxsomuch. Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I was watching the promo trailer earlier and thinking the same thing. In 2019, the end of the first week of October for Australia (ending in Tori having the baby and then having a seizure) was the last thing we saw in the UK in late-November before pausing until January, so the timing would fit.

Red Ranger 1 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 If you mean they're finishing with Episode 7670 (currently scheduled to air Monday 22nd November), then that's good news: It suggests they are going to be restarting in January with a new block on the Monday and finally get the Channel 5 showings back into synch, rather than keep using the proper blocks for the 5* showings as some people have suggested.

James Martin Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 But that doesn't make sense now, given 5* will basically become the main teatime showing. ITN plan to launch the new news show in November so my guess is the schedule changes will take place at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 5 is still the main channel, 5* is still just a First Look preview. It makes sense to have the proper blocks on the main channel, rather than tucked away on Channel 31 (or whatever it is these days). Soap guides will still list the Channel 5 showings rather than the 5* ones.If people look for the episodes on My5, they'll be listed under the Channel 5 broadcasts.

James Martin Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Looking at the episode guides, 7670 seems the logical place to wind up for Christmas. However, the new news show will probably want to launch on a Monday. Maybe Channel 5 could drop Neighbours for a day and run 7679 and 7670 together on the Friday?

Bri1231 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Home and Away UK fans will soon be away from Summer Bay for six whole weeks. Channel 5 has confirmed that the Australian soap is airing its final episode of the year on Monday, November 22 at 12.30pm, although those who choose the 5STAR first-look option can watch it on Friday, November 19 at 6.30pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ranger 1 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 I presume it's not actually six whole weeks, since they're finishing on a Monday, so unless they're coming back on a Tuesday, one of the weeks would only have six HA-less days in it? Having said that, six weeks from 22nd November is Monday 3rd January, which is a bank holiday...They wouldn't actually come back on a Tuesday so the blocks are still out of synch, would they? There must be a reason they're finishing on the Monday rather than a Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri1231 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Well it seems as now that the 5STAR airings are the creme de la creme, the show wraps up in the proper blocks on 5STAR. But if Channel 5 returns on the Monday, which im sure that article said, then the channel 5 airings will always remain out of sync but they don't care. 5STAR is their main target now.

Dan F Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 It ends on Channel 5 on Monday 22nd with Episode 7670 - it returns to C5 on Monday 3rd January, so it'll be back to airing the blocks as intended. The 'first look' on 5STAR returns on Friday 31st December, so they'll go back to how it used to be, being one episode out from a normal block.
