You know we belong together, you and I for ever and everrrrrrrr - Nostalgic Home and Away thread

[Mi4]

Like on the Ullaroo! thread - what are your favourite memories of Home and Away?

For me nothing will beat Meg dying on the beach in Blake's arms, and Flynn's death

I met Kip Gamblin and he was lovely :)

I suppose he's not bad if you look at him anew but remembering how hot he was back then mm mm mmmmmmm!

Am remembering some Alf-isms... flamin galarr, stone the flamin crows, which part of no don't you understand, the N or the O? Classic!

What about Ruth? I thought she was so stylo.
I've had a drink with alf, the flaming galah.

Really? Was he very lovely?

I must use that No phrase, I love it

Yes he was. He used to drink in the same pub every week.

Ah, the memories... mostly the Roo-Frank-Bobby-Frank-Roo triangle. I also wanted to be Bobby. She didn't take any shit. And I liked Alan with the aneurysm too. He had very spiky 80s-style hair IIRC.

I liked 'rack off' as a teatime-friendly expletive! Plus 'drongo' as well as 'flaming galah' as a term of abuse.

ohhh I am jealous!

And it's Roo no? I loved her too, she was very cool not like the dowdy Carly and Lynn

if you feel like another cry

I forgot about Roo and Frank, they almost got married, he probably saw the awful get up she was in and ran a mile

Who rememebers Brodie, she was very erm... unique looking!

mmm, Frank...
And the wonderful transition of Pippa from about 25, straight blonde hair and a perky wee thing in dungarees, to around 40, frizzy reddish-brown hair and very mumsy, one day with no explanation or comment!
Original Evil Morag and Evil Stacy who wanted to build over the caravan park.

Having a bunch of fostered kids was such a great idea to explain cast members having interesting back stories and moving on in a plausible manner - until it all went to pot after Karen and wotsit moved in with Alf and Ailsa.

Much preferred the second Pippa, she seemed warmer. The blonde frizzy one had weirdy bug eyes and didn't look all homely like Pippa Fletcher should :)

The second Pippa didn't half have a big ol' arse though. It needed its own agent.

I've just been reading that Sally's imaginary friend Milko, wasn't actually imaginary but her long lost twin brother

Pippa actress now. Definitely improved with age.

I've felt strangely nostalgic and emotional about old episodes of Neighbours and Home and Away for a while now ? think it must be because it was a running theme through my childhood. I didn't watch it for years when I worked but firmly back into them both since being made redundant. I freelanced for a while and am still a bit that I missed Sally leaving (saw the run up to it) so thanks for the link. I won't make that mistake again and record it every day.

Was it Carly that ended up having a long lost twin sister who was a model?

they have a thing about twins, there were the twins that looked nothing alike(not even like sisters) you know one came back and got with Miles.
then it turned out they wern't twins due to a mix up at the hospital

Leah was in The Matrix, Ben Lucini went on to Nip/Tuck and X Men, think Hugh Jackman was in it at one point, Heath Ledger definitely was.

Angel was in Friends as the nanny

Shane on the other hand turned up in Neighbours last year and hasn't aged well.

SebastianThe Crab thanks for the link? The second Pippa actress has really grown into a much better look now. Plus I never knew she and the actor playing Michael became a couple IRL and are still married! That's romance for you.

Oh did they? That's lovely :)

I also had a thing for Dieter Brummer, another who hasn't aged well, he was in Underbelly too. He died spreadeagled on a rock apparently
