Home and Away is shot really well, it is beautifully shot in fact, and has a very attractive cast. Unfortunately that's where my kind words end. Neighbours is far superior IMO. I find it interesting you think Home and Away is very character driven, I'd say it's the exact opposite. Hunter is extremely hot, hope the actor is gay

It's a shame Cindy was killed off. It must be frustrating when people struggle to get work due to the soap star tag, but is that really the reason she doesn't get work?

The whole Lee story was a mess IMO and gave the message that people with mental health problems are a burden to their loved ones and that they should keep it to themselves. It's probably one of the worst storylines I've ever seen on EE, it actually made me feel quite offended. Obviously people see things differently though. I thought it started well and undid all the hard work starting with the Vic raid.

You couldn't see them together now?

I would prefer Ben and Piper.

You should definitely carry on watching, InLoveWithSoaps. For me Neighbours is the best soap I've seen by a long way. Well-written. I don't mind Terese, but she's not a favourite of mine. Nate was alright, I like Aaron's potential new love interest David Tanaka. My avatar as bl said is Angus Beaumont-Hannay played by Jai Waetford of X Factor fame. Shame he left, I loved him! Do you like Tyler/Piper as a pairing, bl?

He's definitely not wrong, though I haven't seen the episode yet.

The thing is just because Preston lives in Florida, doesn't mean he's not from another part of America and just moved there? From what I know of Michelle it's not that much of a jump.

The Michelle story does seem unrealistic but it's the only story on the show that I'm enjoying at the moment. Everything else is boring. As for Preston's accent, I'm glad he's at least attempting an American accent. I'd have preferred an American actor but this is better than the whole Mark debacle.

Thanks DRW50. It was such a teen show in those days. I have to say the current show is terrible. Should have been cancelled years ago. They've just rehashed Meg's death scene on the beach with current character Billie. I'm almost done with the show.

Not at all. I'm still enjoying the Michelle story despite its glaring flaws. I actually think the Lee storyline is the worst story I've ever seen on a soap. So offensive to people who have suffered Depression.

Thanks Darn. I guess the fact she isn't a stereotypical cougar is what makes the storyline more interesting.

Couldn't tell from that small clip but he looked no more than 20 to me.

Does Preston's accent sound genuine? I'm impressed they cast someone who at least is attempting an American accent

A lot of people online are speculating that another twist will be that she is the real Dee!

I agree. Do you believe that it's an impostor?

The Lee story plummets and plummets.

I guess they'll reveal that down the line. I'm loving it too. Puts EE to shame at the moment.

Do 'British schools' exist in Florida?!

Agreed. To be honest I feel it is even borderline racist not to have cast someone who at least attempted an American accent. Surely it wouldn't be hard to find a hot young American actor to play the part? It would be something a little different to have an American character.

All the crap I have to watch on EastEnders and seeing Ben's gorgeous cute face makes it all worthwhile. Ben and Jay's scenes seem filled with sexual tension a lot, love them together. Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. But after hoping for it for a while, I'm actually quite pleased to have a long-term gay/straight friendship on the show. ETA Still not sure about SOC obviously implementing more experimental filming which is leaving me sea sick some of the time, even in in-door scenes.

I like Babe. I don't think Mick and Whitney will have an affair.

So they're implying that Max was responsible for the bus crash...

They're taking this experimental use of filming way way too far. This is a soap for God's sake.

What was the point of it? I'm not particularly sure why it happened or why they thought it was a good idea.
