Homeandawayfan. Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 1988 and 1989 saw some quite dark and daring stories. The Summer Bay Nutter, a caravan fire, Floss predicting a death, Carly's rape, her drink habit, and her scheming a bit. Also Roo's teenage pregnancy. At least 1988-1989 and 1995-1999 were balanced with lighter stories unlike today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember much about the Nashes during Robert's return. I only remember Duncan and Ailsa getting caught up with him. His was first stint - stalking the Nashes, kidnapping Gypsy, burning down their house - that stayed with me 20+ years on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 What about after 2000 when the Sutherland's arrived? My work schedule changed so I lost touch with H&A by late 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work schedule changed so I lost touch with H&A by late 2000. Things were definitely ramping up again in the Sutherland era: Dani's rape and Kane subsequently dating Kirsty Gypsy pregnant with Will's baby A school siege involving Brodie Hanson. I can't remember if involved her brother or her boyfriend though. I tended to not be interested in anything involving Brodie Duncan turning "evil" A car crash involving Brodie, Alex Polous and Brodie's boyfriend Miles. I can't remember too much other than Miles died and Brodie stropped around blaming Alex for a few episodes. the ferry disaster Charlotte Adam's death and Jade going off the rails afterwards. She had a eating disorder, which may have been around that time too. It wasn't as memorable as Shannon's though. Alf's brain tumour and him having visions of evil Ailsa. the Angie Russell stuff - which included her "grooming" Nick, the breakdown of Rhys' and Shelley's marriage, her dying in a whodunnit mystery that only lasted a week the Sutherlands down the mine in the 2003 finale A car accident involving Hayley and Brodie that happened because they were fighting over Alex. Hayley was left with facial scarring for a few weeks and Brodie escaped unscathed and left with Alex a few episodes later. Another big car accident that left Seb paralysed Sophie Simpson being a surrogate for Sally and Flynn, but then discovering she was having her own baby too and miscarrying Sally's. Leah was later a full-term surrogate, and she developed a crush on Flynn during the pregnancy. The writers then cranked it up another notch again post-Sutherlands with stuff like the Summer Bay Stalker, Hayley's pregnancy, Amanda Vale and all her scheming, Barry Hyde killing Josh etc. and has never really looked back.
