It is undeniable that Home and Away is a huge part of Australian Television and Broadcasting History. It is where we have all watched many young and talented, and not so talented actors grow and develop- fuelling our country with entertainment.
Wait...just wait a minute - i said entertainment? Hardly. The screenwriters seriously need some inspiration! The story lines are shocking. Someone is always getting married...and its always ending in disaster! Also, someone is always randomly dieing of cancer! Seriously now - how cliche and predictable! We need some originality brought to our free-TV screens.
It is not only some Australian TV shows though - The Bold and the Beautiful; one of America's most notorious soup operas is also guilty of being extremely repetitive and unoriginal. Not only is B&B repetitive in terms of story-line and ideas - the same people are always re-marrying - to the same people too! What i do not understand though, is how a leading female character can marry her daughters ex-husband and then divorce him...its absurd!
Regardless, the shows still appear to be popular with the general public - i guess they are into crappy story-lines. Not to worries i have my books, law & order, cold case and generally sbs and abc.
muahahaha *wishes she could write for an awesome show *
ciao.

couldn't agree more.
some of those characters have been through everything except death.
I pretty sure Belle, i think her name is, has gone through abusive boyfriends, adoption, drug addiction AND overdose, boyfriend going nuts, boyfriend in mental hospital, she went to mental hospital, stalkers and now cancer.
As if one person goes through all that, in one year. Shame on those writers.
