Since 2011, the River Boys have dominated H&A with endless crime plot after crime plot. It is getting beyond interesting. The current producers have no respect for the longer term fans who dont want to just "switch off" a show we have watched for 25 years.

Here, here!
The current producers treat H&A like some US crime drama rather than a soap opera... nobody is interested in gangster/crime stoylines in soaps. They watch soaps to see everyday people get up to no good. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a good gangster story every once in a while in my soaps to inject some danger into the show, but I don't want them dominating the show. H&A's gangster/crime stories are also so badly written that it's hard to take them seriously, so I would advise the producers to stop with these ridiculous plots. They need to go back to basics and return the show to its roots. Make the show about family units again and fostering. Stop bringing in these bad boy clones from Mangrove River.

It is Lucy Addario who is the culprit. She does not understand H&A. And yet she is the same generation as me. She must have watched during the 1990s when I watched when Tug, Damo, Shane, Angel Vinnie and Joey Rainbow were in it.
She is trying to make it a thriller show, to emulate those rubbish US thriller series and tripe like CSI.

Why don't they just give the Braxtons their own spinoff show? Then they can do all the gangster/crime storylines till their heart is content.
That way, Home & Away fans can finally get their show back and be free of the Braxtons.

I agree TK....and take that annoying bint Phoebe with `em too. Can`t stand her....and her singing voice isn`t all that great either.

Agreed. Gosh, don't the producers realise how bad the show is right now? It doesn't even resemble a soap anymore.

Home And Away can be saved but the show is in a total mess right now. It was always head and shoulders above Neighbours but recently it is the other way round. I know Brax is leaving but some fans are already clamouring for him to return to the show. Please no. Be gone and stay gone. The door should be slammed shut on Brax and the door locked then bolted and the key thrown away.
The Braxtons have been at the forefront of the show since 2011 and now it is time to end it.
I am on a popular Home And Away website called Backtothebay and while some people are biased to the Braxtons, many are clamouring for Lucy Addario to go and for the Braxton era to be over.

Lucy Addario seems more of a better fit for a show like Underbelly than Home & Away.

Home And Away has gone down the EastEnders route.

It used to be the Braxton show. I bet it will end up the Barrett and Matt Paige show. That where it looks like it heading.

Andy Barret is basically a Brax clone, so no doubt he will take over his role and start hogging the screen more than usual. Probably will also bring in more Barrett relatives down the line.

The show will not improve until Lucy Addario leaves. Sooner the better.
Although I do worry that the crime show of now will be the H&A going forward. If so I shall stop watching.

I cannot look at Andy Barrett without thinking he`s the reason why Casey died.
When Andy first arrived at the Bay he was filled with so much loathing for Brax he wanted him dead. He even brought back the drug dealer who killed Charlie Buckton so he could get revenge on Brax. Then all of a sudden he is Brax`s best friend and even working in the gym.
No matter how much the writers try and redeem Andy Barrett he will always be the reason Casey was killed. Andy didn`t pull the trigger to kill Casey - but he may as well have done by inviting that thug to Summer Bay to get revenge on Brax. Who cares that he pulled the plug on that thugs life support. He will never redeem himself in my eyes.

It`s taken me all day to try and watch a weeks worth of H&A, and I`m struggling to get back to it. I`m going to give it another month, and if it hasn`t improved by then - I won`t bother watching it again.  |

Such a shame to see this once great show go under. I did watch a 2001 episode on 5* and it was so much better back then.
Until 2011 H&A was always more watchable than Neighbours.
