Home and Away. More antics in Summer Bay

[strugglingwithlife]

Old thread full.
I'd forgotten about Buddy, bless him.
We must be getting rid of Eliza soon?
Baby Archie has grown a couple of months in a few episodes!

I feel Brax and Ricky are wasted in this storyline. Yes the scenery is stunning but their life looks so bloody dull. I hope it gets more interesting.

I was thinking that it looked quite an isolating dull lifestyle. The beach though with clear waters - stunning.

That beach was beautiful 😍

They've told Jo he's near Exmouth, having done a quick Google, it's a town of about 2.5k people far from anywhere, that swells to 6k in the summer. If this is a PR exercise for tourism, surely they should have gone for somewhere people can actually get to.

I'm not liking that in the preview for every single next episode they basically show the last scene of the next episode before we've seen it. If that makes sense!

It's really starting to annoy me.

And having 3 massive stories at the same time - Tane, Lacey and Remi - I feel they are not doing justice to each story. The fact Lacey has killed her stalker has totally fallen to the wayside. I'd much rather see the aftermath of Lacey's story than the extended Tane shower scene and Brax constantly saying "don't ask any questions" over and over.

And no doubt Jo and Cash will travel to Exmouth and bump into Tane within minutes of arriving 🙄

Yes the previews confused me.

I thought don’t waste the shower water Tane by lingering. There’s no pipe work ?

It looks so desolate.

Yes Lacey’s story has all but disappeared

I'm fast forwarding the Tane scenes as I don't know who the Exmouth characters are. I watched Home and Away when it first started, for several years and then stopped watching for a couple of decades.
I only re commenced viewing when Doctors on BBC was announced as being cancelled.

I'm completely fed up with the stupid Tane storyline, ludicrous.

I am really interested in Remi (and Sonny and I'm glad Dana and he are back together.)

I'd almost forgotten the Lacey thing .

I don't watch the previews as they're too spoilery (I have seen a few previews and felt it slightly ruined it for me)

@thecatdidit Brax and Ricky were really big main characters in their time. Very popular. Brax and his brothers were leaders of the River Boys gang. They did all sorts of gang/thug stuff, but being Home and Away they reformed their ways and started being well behaved and with good intentions instead of just crime and violence. Of course they were always up for bashing up someone who had done them wrong, or doing shady shit on the wrong side of the law if it was for good. Ricky was attracted to the bad boy turned good, but got sucked into his criminal doings of course.

I brushed up on the Braxton boys with the return of Brax and Ricky and was slightly shocked at how bad Brax actually was initially. Drug dealing and violence. I know he turned good but I obviously remembered him with rose tinted spectacles. I don't think Home and Away is anywhere near as violent and amoral as it used to be (thank goodness). I remember Casey's and Charlie's death being very upsetting and completely down to how Brax lived his life associating with drug dealers and murderers.
