Home and Away

Anyone watching?

I'm really enjoying it at the moment and think Indi, Sasha and Tamara are beautiful. Tamara is my favourite female character though - I love that she is feisty and cute and she is tiny.

I have a lot of girl crushes on Home and Away Blush

And I adore the Braxtons - every single one of them. I'm probably more suited to Kyle (the thinker - did you see him with his guitar??) but I would aim for Brax Grin

Extremely shallow fanpost coming up:

Casey is a great actor imho. Brax smoulders well but just acts by...leaving...gaps in his...speech. I think the Heath actor is settling into himself better now that he has dialogue and not so much of the brawn stuff. Kyle is a robot, spot on!
I have never taken to Tamara am afraid. Or Maddy. Brax needs to find someone better than Ricky.
May even be starting to like Spencer a little bit. And have a little crush on Dex.
But for me, it would be a Brax and Casey affair ;-)

shiningcadence · 23/07/2013 18:30

Haha Brax's...speech...gaps...are...so...funny Grin

Oh no not Sally again, agree that she's v annoying. Agree about Leah too, she's a whiney, judgemental, goody two shoes. She has slept with more men than anyone on the bay, poor VJ has had like ten 'dads' yet she's the first to judge others for much less. Actually she doesn't seem to have been too bad of late but going back a few years she was such a hypocritical bitch! Phew, rant over Grin

me1234535 · 23/07/2013 20:28

How is Kyle a robot Lol?
I don't like Maddy either I Prefer Amnesia Tamara to the old Tamara but still seems all about herself but she seems to lost her smugness, not as whiny and annoying.

Natalie gets an award for the worst dress sense ever seen in the bay & that includes Sasha's mittens. (Am liking Sasha's new vintage chic look)

I am rather jealous of tamara right now though Grin casey andkyle...

yep Tam has 2 Braxtons wrapped around her finger. its funny that now she doesn't remember the desert incident that is Kyle she has a connection with not Casey. which makes me wonder if she hadn't met Casey/Kyle the way she did she would of been with Kyle not Casey. I personally think Kyle is a better catch then Casey his got serious rage/Anger issues and can be such a drama queen.

me1234535 · 24/07/2013 03:05

:)

anonacfr · 24/07/2013 10:38

Kyle is a robot because it is an anatomical fact that he can't move his neck. Might also have something to do with his acting.
He's shifty because he is taking advantage of Tamara. I don't particularly like her but the fact is he's turned himself into her protector because he fancies her.

Casey is lovely. Did you see how sweet he was with Indi when she lost the plot after Romeo disappeared? He was all protective and supportive.
He was also lovely with Jett and tried his best to support b*tch Ruby back in the days.

Rickie is awful btw. Brax should be with Natalie.

Choccyjules · 24/07/2013 12:05

No, Brax should be with me ;-)

me1234535 · 24/07/2013 12:42

lol I don't see how his taking advantage of her(well not at first) no one else was their to look after her Brax was going off looking for Ricky, Heath was going off in a sulk, Casey was in jail Kyle seemed like the only person interested in her and I guess she got attached to him so it was hard for him to stay away from her even if he wanted to. I do think he was probably unaware he was taking advantage of her because of his feelings but I wouldn't say his shifty because it didn't seem he had any intentions other then being a friend.

me1234535 · 24/07/2013 12:44

I like Ricky she suits Brax, Nat never did she suits Zac.

me1234535 · 24/07/2013 12:46

sorry but I don't think Casey is lovely yes he has his moments but most the time his a selfish, spoilt brat with serious anger issues but that's my opinion.

anonacfr · 24/07/2013 15:12

I don't know. I still think Kyle is taking advantage of the situation. I haven't watched the whole thing but when Casey came back and asked to talk to Tamara Kyle made it v difficult for him and refused to leave.
You'd think he would trust his brother enough to know Casey is not going to force himself on Tamara or make her do something she doesn't want to do.
And before she lost her memory he did snog her knowing she was his brother's Gf. Shifty.

And that necklace is awful.

Re anger issues. All Braxtons have anger issues. I'm not saying Casey is perfect but he has displayed better qualities than Kyle and is certainly more loyal than him.

scarlet5tyger · 24/07/2013 15:13

I really like Ricky! She reminds me of someone, I just can't put my finger on who. Need her to stick around for a bit so I can work it out.

I think she's much more suited to Brax than Natalie or Leah. What happened to Natalie's back story by the way? I vaguely remember her hinting at some interesting past when she was trying to relate to someone else, but nothing ever came of it. Think it was something about running away from her whole family or something??

I love Brax's... pauses. Casey has started doing them too now though, and on him they just seem affected.

Oh, and Roo gets my worst dress sense award. What is it with those tents she wears?? She just looks huge!

nemno · 24/07/2013 15:17

Ah, found somewhere to ask. Please can somebody help.

I have some recollection of Zac doing something creepy (stalkerish?) when he was a new character. Did I dream it?

shiningcadence · 24/07/2013 18:12

I can't remember Zac being stalkerish - though I could be wrong as I often miss episodes. If I remember correctly he came into it because Casey was in jail and Natalie said she had a friend who worked there and would look out for him - Zac.

Yes to Roo's awful dresses, I hate the way she dresses, her hair too. Just her whole style. I saw her on the Wright Stuff last year and couldn't believe how different she looks in rl - much better - hair, make up, clothes, just overall style. I think it's hilarious that both Natalie and Sasha's style/clothes have been slagged off on this thread, they're my favourite dressed characters Blush Does that mean I have zero fashion sense? Grin

Wasn't Natalie's back story that her mum had gone missing years ago - she was relating to Brax when Casey was missing (having been kidnapped by Kyle). I wondered if the mum might pop up somewhere but I think they did it to show the growing closeness between her and Brax.

scarlet5tyger · 24/07/2013 20:44

Ah yes that was it, thanks Shiningcadence! (Re Natalie)

I think Roo wore trousers once and had really short legs, maybe that explains the dresses? I remember reading a post from someone saying she walked like she'd just got off a horse.... And she is very bandy legged! Pippa used to wear those dresses too though, and I personally think its just part of the scriptwriters plan to morph her and Harvey into the new Pippa and Tom. Never happen scriptwriters!

qazxc · 24/07/2013 22:49

Ricky looks like the on-off girlfriend Brax used to have. Teegan (not sure of spelling), the one that had Heath's daughter and died in storm. She also looks a bit like chucky, or one of them trolls with the stand up hair, or a pug.
Why does Roo wear those dresses, they are the size of circus tents. I thought at first she might be pg, but at this stage it has gone on too long (unless she has the gestation period of an elephant).

anonacfr · 24/07/2013 23:04

I haven't seen anyone criticise Natalie's dress sense? I like what she wears.

TwllBach · 24/07/2013 23:10

I agree about Roos dress sense Grin and I also thin Sasha dresses well, but I'm just blown away by her face. She's just gorgeous.

I get what you mean about Kyle taking advantage - it must be hard though. For him, I mean. He loved her before and now she's vulnerable and needs him. I'm not saying its right btw!

I also don't get why tamara isn't all over casey - if I was her he would be my first road back to normal life.

^^ There anonacfr
Glad you like her style too :) it's quite boho/hippyish, I love her clothes.

I think this thread is hilarious for analysing character's appearance. Poor Roo with her short, bandy legs and just-got-off-a-horse walk Grin love it. And Ricky with her Chucky/pug/troll face!

I have serious envy at Indi's body. Did you see her yesterday when she was teaching Dex to surf? Not a single piece of dimpled skin in sight! I was checking All lovely and smooth and toned Envy

TwllBach · 25/07/2013 08:57

I am also sick with envy at Indi's body. But she is healthy thin don't you think?

Clearly that's the key to looking like her - live in Australia and surf Grin

anonacfr · 25/07/2013 09:21

Yes Indi has a great figure. Gorgeous arse and curvy waist the lucky girl!

Natalie- worst dress sense? Name one outfit! What she wears is usually rather flattering.
I agree that Roo's tent dresses are bad but i find that they suit her character. i have an eccentric aunt who dresses like her- I find it quite endearing.

I used to hate Charlie's dress sense. She went from police uniform to cheap low cut tops you'd wear on the pull in a nightclub. And I used to love Belle but she wore awful 80s clothes.

God I've been watching H & A for way too long... Blush Grin

shiningcadence · 25/07/2013 12:30

Yes, Indi has a lovely healthy looking figure doesn't she - slim waist, curvy hips, nice round bottom, smooth skin bitch Grin She also has a beautiful face and lovely personality. I can't decide if I'd rather be her or Sasha, they are both lush :)

I hated Charlie's clothes too but liked Belle's! She wore skinny jeans and quirky tees, lots of dark colours, which really suited her I thought. She was waaay too skinny though. God I feel so shallow talking about people's appearances this way Blush

shiningcadence · 25/07/2013 12:37

Whilst we're on the subject of appearances, doesn't Harvey have a really weird mouth? It almost looks as though it's made of plastic. When he first arrived at Summer Bay he had a beard and didn't look so bad. I actually recoiled the first time I saw him with it shaved off! I've never really 'taken' to Harvey's personality either tbh, Roo is quite fun and feisty, he is boring and stupid and used to be quite dodgy too (though that part of his character seems to have been magically erased) - what does Roo see him?!? Though I guess with her short, bandy legs she can't be too fussy Grin
