alexx Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 It is interesting reading this thread how sometimes we look at the past with rose-tinted spectacles and now watching it back there were still characterisation issues way back when. I don't think it's really with rose tinted glasses, I didn't ever think the show was perfect. But it's just as enjoyable to watch as I always thought it was. Blaxland 89 - I thought the same thing about that piece of music.
beau_t Posted December 18, 2014 Report Posted December 18, 2014 I agree. There were always faults. I think we may be more aware of them now but as you said, the enjoyment factor is still there and very strong which is something that's not there (for me) with the current show.
CaptainHulk Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 At least characterization was still relatively consistent at this point.
Homeandawayfan. Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 Yes the show had character issues even back then in the golden eras of the show but compared to the past 2 or 3 years the characterisation was much better. I think 1993 and 1994 were 2 of the best years in the show ever. 1988, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2003 and 2005 are my faves. Hardly any atrocious harsh background music in 1993 H&A.
beau_t Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 So we finally (sort of) get the scene I was crying out for, with Bobby and Pippa, although it still felt very "on the surface" and didn't really explore Bobby's feelings much, at least we get that she is conflicted now. Surprisingly not missing Ailsa, I actually forgot she was away and it only just occurred to me she wasn't in this week's episodes. It's no surprise though. She hasn't exactly been getting the hard hitting gritty storylines for a while, and from memory she doesn't really serve much purpose for a couple of years until her breakdown in 1995 finally puts her back in the spotlight.

rachel1990 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Posted December 20, 2014 At this point I'm convinced that they made Tina sign a two year contract in the middle of 1992 when she was proving to be quite decent in the role and now everyone else in her age range as gone they cannot afford to exit her contractSince they must have axed Ross at this point as well and that might have cost them some money as well
