Can we PLEASE stop only referencing Scott and Charlene! The peak in MODERN Australia is 2000-2010!
There was a HEAP more to the show in this period and character and classic and great drama storylines especially in 2007 with the resolution! I’m so sick of it only being references for characters 30 years ago. The show was killed when 10 did the deal to move it to 11 with the CBS output deal.
Referencing only Scotty and Charlene is such a slap in the face to the others that have been on the show, Delta Goodrem, Margot Robbie, Dean Geyer, Ian Smith (Harold), and current actors Jackie, Stefan, Alan etc.
I totally agree with what you said Mike. We don’t need Scott & Charlene to save the show. The characters we have now are fabulous. It will be a shame to not being able to see the majority of characters now. I tune in every night and if I miss an episode thank goodness for catch up on ten Pllay. Neighbours need to be saved as they have just recently won awards so that is proof they are loved.
