Home and Away is an Australian soap which has been around since 1988. It's set in the fictional beach resort of Summer Bay, the fantastic beach scenes are filmed at Palm Beach, New South Wales. Plenty of scenes are filmed on the beach, where a lot of barely clothed young men and women can be seen having a catch up or a surf which is pleasing on the eye for both male and female viewers. Near the beach is the diner which is owned by Leah and Irene (played by Lynne McGranger, she has been in the show since 1991). This is where the residents of the bay go for lunch and chats. When they are not lunching in the diner they are in Angelo's (named ...  Read the complete review

I don't know what it is with this programme. My mum is obsessed with it, and I'm forced to watch it whenever it is on. I find some, in fact all of the characters very annoying, the plot lines predictable, the climaxes, often aren't that good, and the tragedys are aften laughable, and often seriously stupid. But I still sit there watching it. I can't help it. I just think that it is so bad it's good. It seems that they have to be in the hospital practically every episode, and it seems that Rachel is the only doctor there. And the police are around every episode as well, ok so the Charlie and Angelo are police people, but it seems they're the only police around ...  Read the complete review

I have watched Home and Away for years and I love it. It is not just my favourite soap but my favourite TV show. Set in the small beach side town of Summer Bay the soaps characters cover all ages and the storylines are diverse. There are a couple of characters that have been in it forever, as well as other long term characters and those that flit in and out. Any new characters that come in often seem to have some form of relationship with a current resident and there also seems to be a higher than average proportion of teenagers in need of being 'taken in'. The thing I love most about Home and Away, that other soaps don't seem to do, are the ...  Read the complete review

I was an avid viewer of both Home & Away and Neighbours as a teenager but lost touch with them after a few years. When both moved to Five, I picked up my viewing again and now back to being something of an addict. If you're not familiar with the soap, it takes place in the small fictional coastal town of Summer Bay and the majority of the action takes place in the residents' houses, the Diner, the Surf Club, on the beach, in the high school or at the police station. Compared to when I watched previously, there aren't that many of the 'old' cast left from the ITV days, with Alf and Irene being the main stalwarts left. As with Neighbours these ...  Read the complete review

Home and Away is a Australian soap set in the fictional seaside town Summer Bay and is without doubt in my mind a secret pleasure. The show is set in a fairly run down seaside town Summer Bay and centres around three things, the high school, the beach and the cafe/hang out point and basically is filled with really good looking people of both sexes. The show is a bit like an Australian version of Hollyoaks in that because the show is mainly centred on the high school has a high turnover rate for young pretty things of both sexes. The show is more edgy than Neighbours often the stories are bit more explicit than the blandness from Grundy TV, there ...  Read the complete review
