Title: Home and Away fans?
Post by: bramble on April 24, 2013, 09:07:51 PM

Are there any Home and Away fans among us? I don't know anyone apart from myself who watches this! so no-one I can discuss it with.
I see we are going to lose 2 of the regulars shortly. Grief! The Romeo storyline is a bit of a shocker!
I wish Marilyn would find a good man! It's time something nice happened to her. I thought Sid was the one but that came to naught unfortunately. Mind you, they were terribly mismatched.

I'm a Neighbours fan, its the only Soap I have ever followed and have watched it since it started, could never get into Home and Away.

We lost two main characters last week :'(

I used to watch it when at home with youngest son, I loved the tune.  Don't watch now, can't believe Marilyn is still in it though!  I think she was in love with the school head teacher when I watched?

I grew up with a mix-match of all the 'soaps' so never watch - I could write a book  >:(

Sorry waffling again  ::) - I dont' get my thoughts onto the paper  >:(

My parents argued constantly.  My sister was only friendly with me when she wanted something.  My mother is a narcacist (sp) so all the highs and lows, as in the current 'soap operas', were already being played out at home in the 1960s/70s  :-\

I think if you did not have a body under the patio......a murder or kidnap or some teenage pregnancies. Not to mention blackmail and a bit of dodgy dealings then it would not make the soaps CLKD.

It's all in them these days.

Even the Archers have got very racy....

Dad used to listen to the Archers  ::)  ......... I got into Poldark and Onedin Line .......... Upstairs, Downstairs  ........ I did watch Dallas for years, because Terry Wogan had it 'running' every morning so I dropped in one week to have a look-see  ;D  .......... that Bobby was a dazzler  ;) .........

I listen to the Archers on a Sunday morning on my way down to mum's.

I have been known to drive round the block if it was a good episode.

Mind you I get into trouble if I am a bit late and if it's over ten minutes she used to call my OH to see when I had left the house.

I really like the Archers.
