Info

Home and Away is set in the fictional town of Summer Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, and follows the personal and professional lives of the people living in the area. The show initially focused on the Fletcher family, Pippa and Tom Fletcher and their five foster children Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lynn Davenport and Sally Keating, who would go on to become one of the show's longest-running characters. The show also originally and currently focuses on the Stewart family. During the early 2000s, the central storylines focused on the Sutherlands and later, the Hunters. Home and Away had proved popular when it premiered in 1988 and had risen to become a hit in Australia, and after only a few weeks, the show tackled its first major and disturbing storyline, the rape of Carly Morris; it was one of the first shows to feature such storylines during the early timeslot. H&A has tackled many adult-themed and controversial storylines; something rarely found in its restricted timeslot.

Home and Away Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Oliver Townsend Home and Away is easily the worst television show I have ever had the unfortunate chance of watching. It is physically hard to put into words how much I dislike this show, there is quite literally nothing good I can say about it. First of all the writing is absolutely terrible. Every character is written in exactly the same, incredibly boring manner and it's hard to differentiate between the characters at times because of this. They're all absolutely dull and are portrayed with abysmal performances from the cast. The story basically repeats itself over and over again in Home and Away and it's hard to see why people would still live in the fictional town the show is set in as nothing ever happens in it apart from everyone in the show being shady and having melodramatic problems that make me want to throw a brick at the screen, as well as the occasional death. To be honest I'm not entirely sure how this show has been running for so long and how people can actually enjoy watching it but hey, be that as it may.
jaydenlove Why doesn't Home and Away bring in a new gay character? I mean, come on, in this day and age what is the problem? Even back in 1988 it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. I know they have had gay characters before, without all the kissing and stuff, which I guess they thought was fine. It's not fine that they can hide a subject like this. It is ridiculous and homophobic. The Charlie and Joey storyline in 2009 was definitely what the show needed. They deemed this as "inappropriate"? What about all the drugs, murders, rapes, guns, violence and teen pregnancy? Such A Great Show! 21/10 IGN.Neighbours, a show that I would never watch, gets to have gay characters and it is only G rated. Home and Away is PG and deals with more adult themes and they can't do this? I just don't understand. This point is that this is 2015, gay people exist - even in Summer Bay. Home and Away is not a kids show, it never was. I'm not saying to turn the show into Wentworth, just make it that more realistic. They should make more use of the PG rating, just like shows such as Packed to the Rafters did.
gir-24 I laugh at people that tell me they prefer Home & Away over Neighbours, I also laugh at people that tell me they prefer Neighbours to Home & Away. They are the same exact show with different crap actors, tis like comparing a dog turd to a cat turd, both are turds WHICH one do you wanna eat?Perhaps I am being a bit harsh on Home & Away, but I truly cannot understand how a show this bad can entertain people for so long I'm assuming it's a glut of generation y morons watching... the other thing I cant understand is why this show has so many uglies.To summarise: bad acting, bad writing, bad characters. NOTHING can save this awful show.
Brother_h my sisters use to watch it all the time. it was like the Australian version of shortland street. but now when you watch it, the story kinda repeats itself every month.Someones heart is broken-car crash-blame game-hugs all overlove-jealousy-prepare for marriage-wedding-something bad happens-divorce 2 weeks latersomething horrible happens-blame game-hugs and laughs-no one wonders why all the bad things happen to themalso, the actors are try hards. they cant act. stick to modeling you ugly tarts. i hope they read this =p. another fact. they ain't pretty, they have fat heads, skinny heads, bug eyes, beady eyes. weird lips. no tits. to short, wannabe tough guys but fail.and the writing is f'd up. and how many times do they have sex with each other? have they realized they had sex with their brothers and sister or ppl close to their bro's and sisters and they still go on in life like nothing happened and when they find out its goes on as a 4 week drama. LAME!old Home n away was OK. i didn't like it, but this one, its just sad and retarded. save yourselves from the stupidity of this show. its not worth your 30mins of life.
