Natasha Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Dire Straits Ahead for Seven Show Home and Away is said to be in dire straits this evening. This comes after the Seven Network published an annual budget report for the show and it was seen to overspent by $1,400,000. Our man inside the Seven walls says that it down to the nature of new script producer, Dan Bennett. A perfectionist, it has been taking a larger number of takes to get things right. Effectively he's spending money for nothing. "That ain't working, that's the way you do it (complete with demonstration)." is said to be a regular occurence on the Home and Away set. Dan Bennett has recently been sacked and replaced with lady writer, Coral Drouyn. If spending isn't curbed, cuts and job losses may ocurred. Speaking to set builders, they stood and pointed out that the show couldn't go on without them. "We've got to move these refrigarators, we've got to move these colour TV's." A spokesman for Seven said "At times like these people have got to pull together, we've got to be Brothers in Arms." A dejected Jason Smith and Isabel Lucas, until recently Home and Away's Romeo and Juliet couple, stood beside him. Members of a Home and Away web community have began to raise money for the show and if these fans manage to save the show they must be held as local Heroes. Private Investigations are taking place to ensure there was nothing underhand going on at Epping. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you trying to be funny Ryan??

Natasha Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 OMG, they sacked Daniel Bennett? For 24 he wasn't doing a bad job, but maybe someone will ACTUALLY put Ric & Matilda together now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NO it's just Ryan being a smart arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofish Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 The rumout I heard said Eduardo Bearo was behind it. The super bear was livid that wonder kid Dan Bennett wrote him out. I knew there was something sneaky about that bear. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
