because I can't believe that I am. It's my half an hour while dh baths ds and I just love the crazy plotlines and mad mad relationships! And please don't tell me I'm the only one happy to see Peter back from the dead...

lol...I think Jack is gorgeous, if a bit accident prone, lol...and Peter got something...charisma...and I like Jacks dad, too...he is nice, Beth got a much better deal there then with dumb ole Reece, lol!
Was funny, the actor that played Robbie Hunter does some Kiddos programme on Discovery Kids....hehe...and I am sure I have seen Amandas lil Brat on Disney channel...where they draw stuff and it comes alive...lol...!

Lmao at Jack being "a bit accident prone"!!

I've just looked it up and apparently, Martha is Roo's daughter... but she was adopted, and Macca is not mentioned, so I guess he's her adoptive brother? Ric is Alf's grandson from a son, Owen, whom Alf had with a woman called Viv?! I don't remember that, but apparently Owen was also adopted and Alf didn't know he existed until he found out that Ric was accused of killing him in self-defence...?

I'm confused! But what else would you expect from H&A?

Becca - you are spot on. Well done indeed for being able to work out wtf is going on with the Summer Bay families! Macca is Martha's adoptive brother which is why he's no relation to Alf. I love the way all these adoptive families (apart from drug-taking, woman-beating Macca who is clearly more than qualified to live in the Bay)disappear as soon as the true Summer Bay-ites find their way back to the Bay - look at Belle's family! Lovehearts - I'm with you on Jack's dad! V. cute.

Viv and Alf had a hot love affair when they were very young, but the parents disapproved and they weren't allowed to see anymore. Her parents made her get the child adopted out.
Alf met Viv again, as Viv was the "governer" ( I think that is what they called her...big fish under the prisoner...) when Dani was in prison. And Dani, I think in the edn wrote Vivs memoires and found that way out , if I remember correctly, that Viv and Alf had a relationship and Alf went to see her...Viv was, of course dying at the time, in good dramatic fashion)
I am just realising i know farrrrrrrrrrr to much about this, lol!
I have watched it ever since I moved to the Uk in January 1996, lol...love at first site
I blame home&Away for my confusing accent, as people have a terrible time to work out where I am from, as I don't seem to have a strong german accent, apparently...so I am told, lol!

3LoveHeartsAndNoMore · 16/02/2007 10:28

Slayer, he is isn't he...he is probably the right age for me, too

Which Summerbayer are you all missing and want to come back?
I would love Will to come back, but not Gypsy, lol....and Hayley, I liked her.
Always liked Pippa aswellThe grown up one....

HEIFER · 16/02/2007 10:40

I liked Flathead daughers - but can't remember her name... oh hold on I think she died in a botting incident..

Didn't she have a son that flathead(ex headmaster) looked after... he was cute..

I have to admit I have watched this from the very start - no idea how long, but even back then used to get my mum and dad to video it if I wasn't in and now Sky+ it and watch in in peace whilst DH puts DD to bed!...

I love it... (and watch neighbours too) but have to say, better looking blokes in H&A...

Anyway else watched it from the beginning? when Sally was the uglyiest kid around!....

2shoesmum · 16/02/2007 13:40

he had a son who died VERY suddenly of an anuresim(sp) these are VERY unlucky people

2shoesmum · 16/02/2007 13:41

oh and the grandson was bobby's stepson called sam

deaconblue · 16/02/2007 14:47

LOL at all of these and am so relieved to understand all the adoptions. I reckon that sexy Julian McMahon (sp) guy who was Carly's husband and is in that US thing about plastic surgery should come back. Whoaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr

HEIFER · 16/02/2007 15:15

I know who you mean - yes he isn't bad (wasn't bad even all those years ago)...

How about Steven, was quite dissapointed when he came back for something in the last year or so, thought he might be better looking..

Oh I know who I DO NOT want to come back -Sophie... awful actress... not keen on her man Blake either...

Heifer - haven't watched it from the beginning but watched it as a teenager when it first started in the UK, then didn't watch it for years and years and started again a few years ago (when Kane returned and fell in love with Kirsty despite having raped Dani - who says this programme's bizarre?? )

Who would I like to return? Don't know about that but oh how romantic I thought Shane and Angel were when I was a teenager! And how I blubbed when she walked down the aisle despite being paralysed! Oh - is Shane dead now? And I quite miss old Hayley but not the one that replaced her in surely the weirdest 'head-swap' ever done in a soap.

don't you remeber Pippa she went in the larder and came out a totally differnet person

Oh God, I'd forgotten that. But H & A wins all the awards for the most unashamed head-swaps. At least with Corrie the character goes away for a few years and then returns with new head (see Tracy Barlow and co for examples). Weren't there two Flynns in H & A? I only knew the second one, the first was on during my wilderness years when I abandoned the Bay

OP posts:
2shoesmum · 16/02/2007 17:27

oh yes I LOVED the first one and then the new one not only looked differnet but was a totally different charactor.
But what about the lucy's in neighbours?

coppertop · 16/02/2007 17:48

I'd forgotten about the other Flynn. He had blonde hair and was always off running along the beach. The poor b*gger who replaced him was obviously not very fit but had to keep doing jogging scenes to fit in with the character.

I remember watching the first ever episode when Tom and Pippa first arrived. Everyone fancied Frank but I'm afraid his mullet was too off-putting for me.

Heartbreak High!

littlerach · 16/02/2007 19:08

didn't Angel show up i Friends a sRachel's nanny? And it turned out she was a lesbian?
I havwe watched ut for yesras!!
But did have a break when it went to Ch 5 and I lived in Bath where we didn't get that channel. It took a while to catch up mind!!

3LoveHeartsAndNoMore · 16/02/2007 19:13

I thought Leah used to be in heartbreak High...her on screen brother there was a spitting image of an ex-boyfriend of mine (alhtouhg my ex boyfriend was Italian, not greek)
Flathead was the headmaster...who had a Baby with Marylin, who is now in Dancing on Ice (and is she in Emmerdale or Coronationstreet over here????) Can't remember which one, sorry, lol!
And I assume as Flatheads daughter, you mean Rebecca (the actress who died of cancer last year, for real now)...Rebecca was nice!
Lol, yeah, never liked the new Flynn as much as the old one, but always liked the name...hence ys being called Flynn, hehe
Selina also had a stand in actress and so did Hayley at the end...but yeah it's funny when the stand ins like look nothing like the originals, lol!
Oh, one who sadly won't come back I suppose, although, he is only in prison, is Jesse....now he is the most gorgeous of the lot...those eyes...hm..........and that body...FIT!
I am oh so sad, lol!

lilybubble · 16/02/2007 19:14

I love it too!! Got into it years ago at school, when in lower sixth, so allowed TV at lunchtime - I remember so many of us sitting around absolutely sobbing at Alan Fisher's death, and then still sobbing, walking en masse to the dining hall. What a sight we must have been.

Have just got back into it after a few years off, and am loving it. Thank god for Sky+ though as only ever get to watch it late at night!

HEIFER · 16/02/2007 19:19

No Flat head had another daughter - they didn't they were related to each other until much older - she was a rebel, think she lived with pippa....

I guess Sam mums... I am sure she died in a boating accident.. ...

Her and flathead used to be at eachothers throads.. oh wasn't she morag daughter as well!!!!

Please someone remember her name - it is driving me mad!

Short, had curlish black hair... real rebel..

deaconblue · 16/02/2007 19:19

Heartbreak High, that was it! I loved it. Rocco's evil brother was a naughty boy in that too, but I seem to remember finding him quite sexy.

If Peter Baker can come back from the dead, Lovehearts, Jesse can come back from prison! Didn't you just love his vests
