General Chat

Hello all.

Ages since I commented, but regarding the storm, I think that the writers are now regurgitating old scripts!

Many years ago there was a major storm as a storyline with, I think, Pippa loosing her life.

soon we'll be back to bushfires and then kidnappings, bushfires, arson and general mayhem.

Oh for the good old days when the worst thing that happened was someone burnt their toast :-(

Hi all.

Jean It will be the same in England I would imagine.

Get the pop corn ready Barbara lol


Marion

Hello fellow H&A watchers .jean its starts on monday 5th at 6pm ..cant wait . :-D

Is the starting date the same in England I wonder? I do hope so. I am fed up with watching the news, the world never changes, the governments never listen to us sensible people.!

Hi All :-)

Just a quick look in,been pretty busy with this that and the other.

It starts up here on Mon again,so will see what's been going on.
While I remember,wasnt Alf a prison officer in something too? Prisoner Cell block H??

Off to watch Emmerdale,Eastenders,Corrie then Big brother. I do lead an exiting life dont I ? lol.

Marion

Poor John's back in hospital - got caught up in a gang fight. Yes, big storm coming, sure there has been quite a few that have almost wiped out the place before. Must be time for a bushfire???? Someone bound to die in this storm, I wonder who's looking to be leaving?

Yes, you ladies in the UK will be disappointed to note that Ruby's hair has not been combed in recent times - still :-D

Take care all. 9.38 pm EST

Just adding to what I said in my previous post about them not giving receipts.

Watched (briefly) to-day's episode of the 1989 version and lo and behold, a tenant walked into their loung room to pay his fees, and a receipt was actually written!! I have to withdraw my comment - although I wonder if the writers are still the same? From the look of Marilyn's hair - it seems that we might still have the same hairdresser/s???

We are getting clips of Monday's 'big storm' coming up.

Hi all.

Should be back on here soon.

Won't cost much for Ruby's hairdresser anyway lol

They seem to have plenty money for eating out.
Its like some of the soaps here,they often go in for a cup of tea...and they stay across the road.
I suppose the reason being is to get the cast in the the same place for story lines etc.

Jean - there are a lot of unanswered questions to be asked of H&A. I think that it's the reason why I keep watching it. The 'cynic' in me is waiting to catch the writers out in their lack of 'research' or 'advice'.

Many caravan parks don't allow pets, or they must be kept tied up, but winter comes to everywhere, so I don't know why the actors don't wear winter clothing,although I think most of their filming is done in summer months.
Students get an allowance - although it's a pittance, with the remainder coming from the parents, etc. I often wonder what it costs Charlie to keep Ruby in clothes and spending money - as with April - does her mother send money? or does Bianca have to foot the bill?

I shake my head when I see people come to the door of Alf's place to pay their fees - and look straight at the dinner table! The 'office' area doesn't exist - and I've seen them hand over cash - but they never seem to get a receipt!!

No one seems to have a pet in Summer Bay nor wear a top coat ever. Does no one eat at home, where do the children get the money for all this eating at the diner?

We seem to be getting more and more of the 'bad lot' spending their time at the beach - looking for trouble. Gang wars, and all that coming up?

Big storm brewing - no, not the gangs - a real storm. I just hope the writers consulted the weather bureau regarding 'possibility' before they wrote the script!

Bianca is giving Liam a bad time. He can come here and I'll console him - any time!

I look in occasionally on the 1989 version, which I didn't watch originally.
The school master Fisher, is being blackmailed by Bobby's real father over a shooting accident.
Alf is younger and thinner of course. Marilyn is engaged to Lance. I don't recognise any of the young men or their names. Don't know what happened to them.
Ailsa (Judy Nunn) is recognisable. I started watching at around the time that she was written out of the show - to become a very successful writer in real life.
I must say that the acting of to-day is better than it was then. It's a good 'launching pad' for actors with talent and ambition.

Our verion of X-Factor starts again this week - with Lou Jacobz (Angelo) as the presenter. He is always pleasant to watch.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Charlie. Brax has told her to get out of the force and she says she can't give it up. Her boss knows she is 'connected' to Brax, so she has to tread carefully.

Hi Babara Kim and all.

Looks like theres not a lot to look forward to.
I foget the old actors in it. Its not till you see an old one,you remember them.Maybe not their story line but their face.

Marion

Hello Marion .just saw a bit of a really old episode .didnt stop to watch .didnt know the folks ..sounds as though we are not missing much :-)

In the little that is going on Brax got stabbed, so a war is hotting up with the River Boys and the other crew with that blonde haired minx Teagen in the middle. He's ok back surfing after 5 minutes, but I suppose the saltwater is meant to heal the wound, lol.

Xavier has taken off too to be with his latest love. Indy and Romeo have moved back to Sid's and as you heard Sid's got another daughter from one of his deceased old flames, who is coming to live with them.

Miles and Leah are still on, although it looked shakey for a minute there.

Hope everyone is well. Nice sunny day here. 1.22 pm EST

Hi Berona and all.

Doesnt sound like we are missing much then.
I think theres some old ones on at the moment on channel 5 something,I caught the trailer of it,but didnt pay much attention.

Well better get going....I'm off swimming :-S

Marion

Those of you who aren't getting H&A at the moment, are not missing much.
Don't know if the writers are stuck for ideas, but another paternity issue has come up. This time it's Sid's turn and looks like the writers have thought of something to introduce another youngster into the crew.

Sid and Roo are OFF and Bianca and Liam are OFF - at the moment.

Not much happening at the moment. Don't know why they brought Sid's wife into it - not much happened there - and a paternity question came up and went away again. Not very exciting.

Oh i say .steady on .to old for this x :-) not long now till we see brax & company lol

Hi all.


Had a powecut lastnight,you dont realise how much you depend on electricity till it's not there.

Watched most of BB at sons house,and it was too late to be bothered looking in.

Had a really busy day in the garden,so I'm in need of a comfy seat.


Kim.... Skin cancer is on the increase in Scotland too all us fair skinned folk trying to look brown.

Merlin yes its still on the go,Had a break for the so called summer but its due on next month again.
