I used to love watching Home and away everyday after school. Just the new story lines they present. I saw the 1995 episodes of the show, they were decent, then I started watching it again in 2002. The shows best year in my opinion was 2004. Just some great memories there! Especially Felix Walters and Sarah Lewis! AWESOME those days were. 2003 had some interesting stories most of the time. 2005 wasn't as good as the other two but the one thing that put that year together was the 'Summer Bay stalker' Zoe McAllister or Eve whatever her name was. Last year was fantastic, (most of the time). Zoe returned where she was killed in an explosion while Peter Baker was killed but residents discovered he wasn't dead, It was someone else! Also were 'The Believers' horrible people they were especially Mumma Rose. Overall some great entertainment there. This year however is Awful! 2007 has presented the worst episodes in Home And Away history. It is now focussed on teenagers and their relationships with their partner. WhAT ThE hell has happened to this show? A lot of shows these days get the same after a while, Silly, dull and boring. But Home and Away has some great memories!
