Red Ranger 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Well, I could have done without any episodes from the period where they were trying to convince us Jade and Seb were going to be the next big thing:As a Nick/Jade fan, I doubt I'd ever have really accepted them but, and I don't think I'm exaggerating here, the fact they got together a week after he left seemed completely disrespectful.And I agree Jade seemed completely out of character here:She didn't even look like Jade, much less act like her.The really bizarre thing wasn't that she survived but that she survived without a scratch;everyone acts as though she's dead and then she just turns up, lying on the beach, right as rain.As far as I'm aware, Seb's still in a wheelchair.When Don came back, he said Seb was doing fine and had a new girlfriend but didn't mention anything about him taking up long jump. Nice to get a bit of Robbie and Tasha in there although it did seem that several characters just suddenly appeared at the party in the second episode.God, Duncan was a tool.Morag was useless back in those days although at least she did eventually recognise that fact.I loved when she laid down the law and told them all to clear off and they just ignored her.Loved the guy's blase attitude when Kane told him Kirsty was his wife as well.Kirsty giving advice to Max was cute.Was that the same Emma who popped up as an occasional friend of Matilda for the next three years and was last heard to be pregnant by one of the guys that randomly trashed Sally's place?I think that was the only kiss Henry got in a year and a half on the show.Oh and Leah in her stalker phase.
Lesley Bee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Loved todays episodes with Sarah Lewis terrorising the bay and on a purely shallow note it was great to see Peter again
alreetlike Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 God, Duncan was a tool.Morag was useless back in those days although at least she did eventually recognise that fact Agree. I'd forgotten how much I used to despise Duncan. He was so easy to hate (meaning IMO a great 'heel' character), and Morag never helped matters either. Good episodes so far. Haven't seen todays. but looking forward to them.
Red Ranger 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Caught up on today's eps.Sarah Lewis, a woman who just radiated "crazy".By this point she really was just randomly attacking people.Surprised they went for these episodes rather than the actual Olympic Cliffhanger with her killing a main character(off-screen)and then getting killed herself, somehow(off-screen).Nice to see Peter from when he first came in, he took an awfully long time to get onto the opening credits.Nice to see Dani at the centre of the action as well, the whole Stalker storyline just didn't work without her there since there was no-one for Eve to actually get revenge on.(See "randomly attacking people".) And a bit more Robbie and Tasha, always cute even when she's thumping him.You feel guilty now, girl, wait until Sarah puts a bullet in Noah.(Mind you, I always blamed Scott for that.Scott was dumb.)Actually thought Irene came down on Robbie a bit hard, he was just following her lead in reassuring Tasha.Quietly point out the flaws in his logic, sure, but don't bite the poor boy's head off.
Mrs Bishop Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Yes its good to see these episodes again showing us how much better Home and Away was back then than to day with there feeble dissjointed ness hice to see some of the old faces from the past especially Jesse Scott Flynn and especially Nic Bishop as Peter Baker.
Reo Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 That was a great episode (The bus crash), it was great watching it again and that is a episode I would of liked to have seen the next part to. Rather than 3 episodes of the Cyclone and other episodes which we saw just months ago. And if I am right Early Years were so close to the bus crash storyline before they stopped showing the episodes, wish they would show those again.
alreetlike Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 I haven't watched the bus crash one yet, LOVED that episode though so saving it for when I've got time to appreciate it, which will hopefully be tomorrow!
halcyon06 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Loved the bus crash, Nick and Jade. Am I right in saying that Nathan is Irene's son? I cant really remember back then... Loved the second episode too. That scene between Sally and Flynn was so sad. Loved the Beth Amanda scene too. And Rachels first episode.
Red Ranger 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Had a terrible signal today but managed to see a good amount of the episodes.The bus crash one was pretty good.Was that teacher just a guest character?He seemed to get an awful amount of screen time but I don't remember him at all.Yes, Nathan was Irene's oldest.I'm old enough to remember the original actor from 1993-4 so there's still a tiny part of me that views that version as an imposter.Nice to see a bit of Nick and Jade together and Seb and Don.And ah yes, Julius, possibly the show's oldest ever schoolboy.I remember when I first saw him I genuinely thought he was a teacher until I realised he was in uniform.Even the continuity announcer made a crack about "very large schoolboys who look at least 23."It wouldn't have been so bad but he was meant to be in Year 9 at the time... Hmm, 2006 opener.It took an awful lot longer for them to get to the cyclone than I remember, stuff I thought was in the finale must be in one of tomorrow's episodes with them all taking shelter.Finally a decent look at Beth, although we saw a bit of her on Monday.Her and Tony seemed to work quite well together.Amanda back when she was really evil:Beth throwing a jug over her was a priceless moment, I loved when Graham announced they were married and Alf and Irene were obviously struggling hard not to say what they were thinking while Colleen apparently rushed off to tell everyone.Matilda's outfit was a bit strange, it looked way too old for her.Sadly we're going to be stuck with more Believers nonsense for the next two eps.Did Tasha have her brain removed for that storyline or what? And the debut of Rachel!(Who looked really young...)I think she was the last person to be on the opening credits before she actually appeared.Starts as she means to go on by treating one of the regulars.And I believe tomorrow we see her do something else that happens to her an awful lot.The first person she sees is Kim and the first person she talks with is Julie.Interesting...
alreetlike Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Oh bah we've got Believers episodes? They're getting deleted, I HATED that storyline.
