The male lead James Reyne was the lead singer of a popular band 'Australian Crawl' and I don't think he had ever acted before. His son was on Neighbours I think years later.

And his brother, David, was a regular on the long-running show "The Flying Doctors" during its last years.

I guess that means no more Australian Open titles for him.....

Wow, I didn't know that one of the kids from the Degrassi series I watched way back in the 1980s was still a part of this. But I recognized him briefly in that video..... 

I was never a fan of Seinfeld either. I just never found that show funny.

Djokovic left Australia on a plane that departed 
Sunday 16 January 2022 at 10:30pm Melbourne time (daylight savings).
This converts to 11:30am London time or 06:30am New York time.

BREAKING

Novak Djokovic has failed his last-ditch court hearing. He is set to be deported and miss the Australian Open.

Send your thoughts and prayers to one of the all-time greats  

Tennis legend Chris Evert has been diagnosed with cancer

^^

But as we've seen in Australia it's ultimately the individual governments in France, the UK and the US that has final say. If they decide that anyone who's not vaccinated won't be allowed to enter then there's not much a single tennis tournament can do.

Well as a really long-ass analogy....It's kind of like wanting a hearing or having a hearing to see if the election was fair or not when there's no real evidence that it wasn't fair (and you still lost by 7 million votes and not all of those people were dead or ineligible to vote and elections in this country have never been proven to be unfair with the possible exception of one prior election that had outside influence via social media but you won that election so you didn't care)....and none of that would have mattered anyway and you can have Arizona and Pennsylvania too if you want them and the Democrats still win the election with 273 electoral college votes anyway).....this hearing is kind of like that.

I can't understand what this hearing is supposed to be about? The Australian minister of Immigration has canceled Djokovic's visa, which he has the power to do. It's not a human right to enter Australia to play tennis. Djokovic has broken the rules, his visa has been canceled, end of story.

Personally I think it was a mistake to bring back Kim. She had a great run originally, and one of the best, most iconic exits ever. All that was ruined when they brought her back..... 

However, now that she is back I would be deeply disappointed if they kill her off. That would make her return even more pointless than it already is.

This was the right decision. And with all the commotion that's been going on, probably the only decision the Australian government could make.

Storm Logan on B&B is the first that comes to mind.

Surprisingly (we are talking about B&B here) they actually dealt pretty head on with the aftermath. Storm shot himself to give his sister Katie his heart, and her, understandably, conflicting emotions about this was very frankly discussed. Especially in a fantastic scene with Heather Tom and Susan Flannery.
