I watched this religiously when pregnant with DD 30+ years ago. In fact even before birth I'm convinced she recognised the theme tune.
Haven't watched it for about 20 yrs.

Paul must be the Ken Barlow of Neighbours.

Yes he’s still going strong!

Is Paul the same Paul from 30 odd years ago? That was when I watched it last, had no idea it’s still going.

Gosh, Toadie still in it ? I stopped watching it years ago when some of the old cast left. Wasn't he very ill a few years back ?

Now, I've been hooked on Home and Away for years and when I was in Oz, we used to picnic on the beach where it's filmed. It's known as Palm Beach, not far from where the family live but in the series it's called Summer Bay.

Oh I missed the gunpoint bit.Presume that was Harry who picked them up? But they can’t have the fire killing them all surely?

Nooooooooo,they cannot kill Toadie, Ellie ? Yes, Toadie ? No

Well, earlier in the week, I couldn't believe they would kill Toadie off but he gets bludgeoned (twice) and cast adrift in a dinghy. By the end of the week, he's in a bad way on the seashore and found by Paul. Whew! Only, now he and Paul are being held at gunpoint. I still think they can't get rid of Toadie.
For anyone using catch-up, sorry for the spoilers, folks!

I can remember berating my dear mother for watching “ such rubbish” 30 years ago. Now I’m hooked! I’ve been watching the 10pm showing during the day , and ( for anyone else who knows it) thought there would be some answers as to who didn’t make it. Still, we can only guess ,as people have been known to make miraculous recoveries.
