Sam Frost, one of the show's leading ladies of the last few years, also seems to have left due to the mandate. Or possibly. Bonner was only there about six months.  I wonder how this was never asked at the time the network hired him. He was a very likeable onscreen presence who fit into the community well and had good chemistry with his love interest. This is a loss. But the blame goes on him.

Really disappointed that Jasmine and Logan are leaving and I loved Jasmine & Cash together. I actually thought Sam Frost would stick around for the long haul as she past the three year barrier years ago.

 

Why can't Mia leave and take her hideous daughter with her. Chloe has treated Ryder like crap since even before the breakup. I also noticed she hated her father and didn't want anything to do with him when the truth was revealed but she certainly didn't give him his money back.

I finally catched up with the last week of April until now.

damn.. Ryder really left. That broke my heart

 he has been in that show for so long. 
 

Mackenzie starts to annoy me a bit. At least Felicity is making up for it! 
Cash is quiet the interesting character and has a lot of potential 

They really need to work on Marylins character. I swear to god. She is so likeable and such a sweetheart but then they give her such silly bs like it’s the 80’s all over again. She deserves better. I still can’t believe they split her and John up last year. What I don’t get is why Marylin has always been paired with older dudes (Donald, John etc.) ! And the only pairing that was remotely alright got ruined to prop Roo. (Sid)

I  always assume Marilyn has father issues. I do agree they need to do more with her but I think it's difficult at this point because she is so established and yet has no real family on the show, beyond her bonds with the Stewarts and Irene.

I have liked Mac but the poker/debt story  has felt endless and mostly just has her looking like a fool.

I'm going to miss Ryder. You can tell the show is too - he got a lovely sendoff.

Just got to Harley Bonner's exit in Australian pace (it took place around June 3rd and 6th), and boy can you tell it was abrupt. His character, Logan, due to legal and romantic problems, was becoming increasingly brusque in his job as head of the ER/ED. He was then shown in his office, making a phone call to the military (he'd been an army medic before coming to Summer Bay). The only other thing heard of him is a goodbye voicemail to his girlfriend. 

The main reason you can tell just how abrupt it was is that Logan had been set up for a clash with new paramedic Xander (who isn't much of an actor but is likeable and pretty, befitting a Hemsworth cousin), and then suddenly after he left, Xander starts clashing with the new head of ED...and you know he was hired in a rush because the guy playing him was schlubby and not a sweet piece of ass. The character was also fired from the hospital in two episodes time, detailed mostly through very expository phone calls between Xander and his sister Jasmine...followed by more expository scenes with Xander and John Palmer, rather than actually appearing in a scene with Jasmine. 

Jasmine is also leaving in the next few episodes...can't wait to see how messy that one will be!

Home and Away won most popular Drama Programm!!! Booooom! That show is on fire! 
 

Neighbours Fans criticizing the short farewell segment. I mean that show has no real ratings anymore. If they were such strong fanbase then they would’ve taken a Logie Award and push their show‘s ratings in Australia.

Another example of how H&A seems to be throwing things again the wall with the sudden departures of Logan and Jasmine. It could work...not sure if just adding bands onto a soap ever has a great hit rate. I assume the one woman is there to replace Jasmine's role in Cash's story.

@AdelaideCate007 @Dion @Forever8 Moving the conversation from the Neighbours thread. 

I had forgotten about Pippa and Don.  I don't think either are mentioned these days either. 

You may have already  read this but a former storyliner for the show talked about how he planned to bring Fisher back, with dementia, dying in Alf's arms. The story, along with several others (like Brody Morgan being gay) was vetoed.

    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
