Home & Away

And Pippa back today too. Is the actress now established in anything else over there - or on stage or something - or are her increasingly regular returned to Summer Bay enough to pay the bills?

Tom only appeared for approx the first two years - UK viewers saw him killed of in early 1991 -suffering a stroke at the wheel of his car.

Quite a weird episode on Five last night.

Has anyone noticed there's quite a strong pro-Christian theme running through H&A at the moment - the suggestion that Annie "losing her faith" is a bad thing (or maybe she's actually just decided that it's not true - she wouldn't be the first!), and also the very strong "going upstairs" references in the Tom / Sally sequences. They didn't mention Heaven by name but they may as well have.

Also when talking about the episodes on Five Life a day before they happen on Five - could people use the spolier tags please?

To be honest, I interpret Home and Away to have more of a spiritual awareness than a specifically Christian one. The 'Sally dying' episode had no reference to a 'God' or to salvation as such - more the inference that the human soul continues to exist on a different plane, not in 'heaven' as such. Notice that Tom was in the Fletcher's kitchen, not standing on a cloud somewhere.

Just my understanding though.

There have been numerous references and storylines regarding what some class as the 'supernatural' - Meg, Ken and Noah have all appeared previously as 'spirits'.

Last night's Five Life episode - so today on Five - had the full titles. First time I'd seen them this year I think - certainly been a while since they've been used.

So are we supposed to believe with Morag that a lawyer will always work for her clients for free?


There's been at least two or three cases in the last few weeks where she's suddenly offered her services for free for no apparent reason at all.

I sincerely doubt anywhere near as much attention is paid to the plotlines as you seem to be suggesting.

Home and Away is now sponsored by Ragu. Glad to see the demise of the Weetabix Minis ads - they were going a bit stale!

Is Dan really dead this time or has he had to fake his death yet again?

Twas Peter who faked his death, not Dan. Yup, Dan's a gonner.
