General Chat

Sorry, David. Didn't realise you meant Leah - the Greek cook. I gather she divorced Vinny, who later died. She then married one of the school teachers, who was sent to the US and was killed whilst over there. (The actor got a better offer, hosting a live show!).

I saw Don Fischer when I was watching the old series. He had no wife, but a foster daughter names Bobby. They went out of it long before I began watching the current series properly.

Yes, Kim. Rather a weak way of introducing the two young actors into the show.

Leah is the Greek cook and she is currently out of the series with her son VJ to escape a looney named Jamie. Really she is on maternity leave after having her baby in real life.

Berona I don't like tatts either, but it's mainly the big ones. I don't mind little butterflies or flowers and the like.

Boring storyline tonight with those two new characters. It's far better when the Braxtons have the lead. Celia might prove a problem now Alf has let her move in. She hasn't changed at all. :-(

David - I don't know any of those people. Other posters might be able to help you better than I can. The show began in 1987 and I watched it in the early years, but not consistently, because I thought the acting was terrible. I picked it up again a few years ago, but what happened in between, I don't know much about. There is a magazine out, celebrating 25 years, but it was out of stock when I tried to order it. I'll try again.

I only found the re-run on an off-shoot chanel connected to the chanel which shows the current version - but that was only about a year ago, so I recorded it each day and skimmed through it later to see if I knew any of the characters. However, when the current version went into recess in November, so did the re-run - but it hasn't returned as yet. I didn't follow it properly, but could see enough to know who was who and what was going on

Currently, Alf has kicked his three sisters out. They came for his daughter's wedding - and they fussed and argued too much. However, Celia might be back after all this time, for at least a little while, according to what I have read.

BTW - which Pippa do you mean? There was a change in actresses about 1990 - no explanation, just that she grew taller overnight!

Has it been as long as that?
Used to like Pippa.

Didn't she lose a groaner called Mike in an accident?
I can rememember when poor Alf was suffering when his wife was poorly.
Am I right in saying she thought the fridge talked or sid I make that up?
Do they still have that Greek cook that usedf to be married to Vinny?

Hello David. I can see you really mean it when you say you haven't seen it for a long time!
I have been watching for years and Pippa was gone before I started watching.
I have been watching a re-run from 1989/91 until November and it was stopped like a lot of other programs until the new year. However, the current version has started back, but no sign of the old version as yet. Pippa is in that, having been widowed and not long re-married just before it went off.

If you haven't seen it since Pippa was in it, you wouldn't know anyone except, perhaps Alf Stewart. Recently, his sisters, Colleen and Celia made a guest appearance, but they seem to have retired.

Oops! Didn't see you there Kim. I agree about the growth. I would have to insist on less growth. I like men clean-shaven. But then, I'm not fond of tatts either, and you can't shave them off.

Berona you can have Liam, I don't like all that growth. :-D Adam is rotten to the core, something really nasty planned as he doesn't walk away from a fight. I hope an innocent doesn't get hurt, but it could go that way.

Alf is having a ball with those ear plugs in. Morag and Colleen are enough to send a good man nutty.

Sorry you have been sick Marion, hope all is well now.

Haven't seen it in a long time.
Did Don Fischer come back having married Pippa?

Marion - hope that bug goes away quickly.Take care.

Well, I didn't miss it last night. I don't think I missed much on Monday with what I've seen of the 'glimpses' we get before it starts. Then, last night, it was all about the 'bad boys'. We might have seen the last of Adam and his son - or have we?

I've not only set it to record Mon to Fri, but also to record the 'catchup' at the weekend!

Hi all and Wend lol.

Not been on as I've got nasty bug of some kindsince Sun,Never had anything like it.even off my food! Thats shocking lol.Feel sick but havent been....no I'm not pregnant lol lol.

I watched it lastnite Whatshername has done a pregnancy test,dont know what John is doing,trying his best by the look of things.

I'm off to try a bit of toast.

Marion

Now, don't laugh. You won't believe this.....

Because chanel 7 has been devoted almost entirely to tennis tournaments over the past few weeks, I have been looking at other chanels. (I loved playing tennis when I was younger, but don't enjoy watching it on TV).

So.....I was watching other chanels last night......until I realised that I had forgotten to switch back to 7 to watch H&A!!! Now I won't know what happened until I see it on Saturday on the catchup!

I still can't believe that I missed it. Didn't record it either. However, I have now set it up once again to record Mon to Fri, so I won't miss any of it.

H&A is shown on our Chanel 7 each evening at 7pm and I'm chomping at the bit ......tonight's the night!
Ch 7's other cnanel 7-2 shows a full week's 'catchup' episodes at the weekend, for those who missed any during the week ... and yesterday, they showed all five episodes of the last series - running it as one long program without introductions or credits.

I was rapt in watching it. It showed me things I missed before and also Roo's wedding, her aunts (Morag, Celia & Colleen), right up to the last when Heath is bobbing about in the little boat. I didn't notice before that the boat has a hole in it!

I'm all set to go now!

Oops, sorry, wrong thread :-D

They are up to no good, Marion. Adam is not the friend that Brax thinks he is.

Kim - I saw him first!.....However, I'll share. You can have Brax - I'll have Liam.
BUT - if you get tired of Brax, let me know!

Hi all.

Ive been busy painting today,just having a quick break.
Still dont know what that Adam and his son are up to.
Nice to see you Dee.

I'm off again.

Marion

Forgot to say hello to Dee, nice to have another person on this thread.

Hi all, It's been like hell on earth today. At 3 pm was 46.7 degrees where I live, no close fires, but the state is ablaze and Victoria too. Pretty hot out where Berona is too. Thunder storm at the moment, but lightning strikes could make it worse for firefighters. Had a few drops of rain and that's it.

Stay safe people and looking forward to seeing my Brax on Monday, yes he's all mine, lol. xx

Hello Dee. Nice to know we have another fan on the chatboards. Feel free to join us at any time.
I might seem a bit cynical at times. That's because the writers make the story out of something which might be real, but they don't research it enough, or don't employ 'advisers' and since the program goes to quite a number of countries, I believe they should spend more money and 'get it right'.

Hi all
I keep flitting in and out of the thread when I am on GR which is not too often these days.
Sorry to hear about all the fires over in OZ, we are all thinking of you over here in UK, and yes, I wish we could have a little of your sunshine at the moment. We had a bit of snow yesterday which has all melted during the course of this morning, however, more is forcast this week and temperatures could go down to -6.

Glad H&A is back. Bianca got on my nerves before with her love him don't love him attitude, now she is really getting on my nerves. Writers have taken her grief a little over the top, I think, but then, that is just my oppinion.

Looking forward to seeing a few new faces, Kyle and his female friend have appeared quite a bit lately.

Best wishes to all
Dee

You will be seeing a lot of Bianca and her handling of her grief.
Dex is still not recovered but is home nowl.
You also will see Casey at trial - and Roo and Harvey do finally tie the knot in spite of constantly arguing about the wedding arrangements! It's nice to see her aunts Colleen, Morag and Celia again.

Looks like Heath is going to turn into a 'nice guy' like his brothers. A little unrealistic!

Evening, glad you are safe in your area of Oz we have seen the devastation on the news .it looks really bad .how any body can start these fires beggers belief ,as you say it is very dry so the bush will soon catch fire .its been cold here But no snow on the western side of scotland as yet .,H&A Bianca in melt down taking drugs & Heath & Brax going back to the bay with Kyle ,will he give evidence to help his brother ? Take Care All x Barbra
