Either you have a good memory for minute details that happened years ago, or you've been reading ep summaries.

I don't remember any of that. But it does sound vaguely like it happened.

I remember that story very well. Didn't Steven also yell at everyone at school calling them shallow or something and then leaving the Bay?

I remember he did have some sort of out burst, but not sure if it tied into him leaving, as he did have several exits. I hated Steven - he really bugged me, with his smug attitude. It didn't help when the show started to prop the Steven/Selina pairing, as I was a fan of Jesse & Selina.

ETA: I found this clip of Steven's 1996 exit - Pippa and Alisa talk about Steven's out burst. Those were the days, when H&A was good; pity it can't be like that now. They just don't make characters like they used to.

Two more to leave 'Home and Away'

Home and Away stars Amy Mathews and Jon Sivewright are to leave the soap later this year, it has been reported.

The pair, who play Summer Bay couple Rachel Armstrong and Tony Holden, are expected to bow out on screen in the middle of the year.

A show source told Australian magazine TV Week: "Amy Mathews is definitely going in a few months' time. Then, with Amy's character Rachel out of the picture, it was decided Tony should go with her, so Jon Sivewright is leaving too."

The news follows a number of recent high-profile Home and Away exits, including those of Lincoln Lewis (Geoff Campbell), Todd Lasance (Aden Jefferies) and Jodi Gordon (Martha MacKenzie).

However, a representative for Australia's Seven Network, which broadcasts Home and Away, insisted that viewers should not be concerned about the large number of recent cast departures.

Seven's Bevan Lee told fan site Back To The Bay: "There have indeed been a larger than usual number of characters being written out in the last few years, but the vast majority of those departures were brought about by the choices of the actors playing the roles.

"The fans can rest assured that no character is ever written out without the greatest of thought and consideration being given to the decision. They simply have to trust the creators of the show, trust their love for the show and accept that we would not make any choice we did not feel was for the best for Home and Away in the long run."

I'll miss Tony & Rachel (more so Rachel). It's a shame, as Tony is the second longest serving character, after Alf. Now it'll be Miles(?), meaning, only Alf will represent pre-2008!

Wow, their second longest serving character has only been there since 2005? Talk about turnover.

Male character, that is. I know, I missed out the most important word from that sentence.

Alf (1988); Morag (1988 recurring); Colleen (1988 recurring until 1999); Irene (1992); Leah (2000); Tony (2005); Miles (2008); Nicole (2008).

They've had a pretty big turnover, especially in the last decade. It speaks volumes when the most recent are the longest serving characters.

Holy Shite, I didn't know the first episode is on YouTube. Off to watch, ya'll.

I haven't watched this in ages, but I saw in TV week that Marilyn is coming back, so I watched a couple of says last week. Im so lost and don't know who half of these people are, but I was glad to see Alf and Irene are still hanging around.

For those that have been watching one of the questions being asked here in Australia is "Who is Rabbit?"

Well my guess is that Rabbit is actually in Miles's mind. As far as I have been able to see is that Miles is the only one that see's and speaks to Rabbit. As for who she is my guess is that she is the spirit of Miles's daughter. When Miles first came to the bay we found out that his wife and daughter died in the Tsunami that hit the Indonesia, Sri Lanka area a few years back.

one of the episodes i remember watching was Josie & Jesse`s wedding in 2005. I don`t know if H&A was good or bad at the time but i did enjoy that particular episode.

Ada Nicodemou has become the latest Home and Away star to back Ray Meagher in the battle for this year's Gold Logie award.

Meagher (Alf Stewart) has been nominated for the prestigious prize alongside Summer Bay colleague Esther Anderson (Charlie Buckton) and a number of other faces from Australian TV.

Speaking out in support of Meagher, Nicodemou told TV Week: "He has been an institution in the show and in Australian television. The character of Alf Stewart is known around the world, and I think he deserves to be recognised and win."

The actress, who plays Leah Patterson-Baker, also praised Meagher's professionalism and caring nature.

She said: "He has never been late to work! Ray is really funny, warm and always has a great story to tell. He is an all-round fantastic, lovely guy - he's like your uncle, husband and best friend rolled into one!"

The Logie Awards will be held in Melbourne on May 2.

I was a huge JJ fan. 2005 was when Dan Bennett took over, and began the OTT years. Things went downhill from this point onwards, especially the character assassination of Jesse. How Dan Bennett had the nerve to bring back Chloe Richards, a beloved character, only to kill her off in a dumb storyline, is beyond me. He had the opportunity to reunite Jesse and Chloe, and have them ride off into the sunset, but instead chose the senseless option.

Sigh, I'm still missign my Adelle. I liek Annie and Romeo though. I get the feelign she might leave though and nothing else about H&A is really grabbing my attention at the moment.

He did win the gold logie.

Good for him.

How's this show doing?
