1990: Tom’s death and/or Ben and Carly’s wedding

Hi pro gangsters or shut up rule

Wow you are probably one of the only long term fans I’ve seen who liked the Braxtons in terms of bringing new life to the show I really don’t know what they could do, they were obviously trying to do that by bringing Martha back but it backfired because it now makes Alf’s marriage to Ailsa illegal. If they bring in another baddy or gang they get slammed by the majority of long term viewers if they go back to fostering (which I agree they should but that’s for another thread) they get slammed by younger viewers who tune in for what the show is now damned if they do damned if they don’t personally Lucy has put the show in a corner and i don’t know if it can get out

Yeah and they don’t even do that right

I’ve held back here because I have mixed feelings on returnees for H&A if they are going to have them please don’t dookie on the legacy I’m sorry but there’s no way Celia would’ve given Les’ ring to anyone Nevermind Heath, i don’t think the current producers have enough respect for the show’s history to have returnees, it’s all about appealing to Gen Z and social media

ahhhhh this show aint no good *BANG*

that's not exactly what i meant

He did me a favour by leaving cause now we get Patricia Coleman

For @nenehcherry2 Grant was the first character to have CDs in 1990 long before Bobby and Greg https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ldY697mY-YVL2YK2qd0ps1rSEXOVln-3/view?usp=drivesdk

Someone on here in 2009 or 10 said the 7two rerun would be the last chance to record and keep the early years looks like they were right

I can I said in December it was only a gimmick for the summer

Tom said he was around 5 years older than Pippa in a very early episode I’m sure of it, she was definitely over 21 when they married though because he went away to Vietnam and came back around the time of her 21st

I find it very hard to believe Celia was only 40 in 1990, more like 41-4

Does anyone know this song that’s on high rotation in the diner in mid 89: I know things aren’t great but we can work it out and i don’t know where I went wrong For once in my life, I think I’m gonna get it right For once in my life

Fiona Spence has dementia my friend was close with her and he told me in 2022

she sided with Fisher initially there was a scene in Episode 16 where she was ringing people from the payphone in Ailsa's shop trying to gain support for the petition to have Nico committed, Ailsa was not pleased and threw her out fast forward to when it came out about Bertram Nico was in the shop when Celia was minding it and she was onside with him (she was the one who told him about Bertram)

Carly needed a strict father though given what she got up to and he had a point about Eric the dog if he had kept barking they’d have lost customers and left themselves open to bad reviews

Bobby would never have left the bay though, her roots and friends were all there killing her was the only realistic exit also bare in mind Nicolle asked that Bobby be killed off

She had an episode where she had Grant over for dinner but Sally kept butting in so it went nowhere

true though i don't remember him being named?

Greg wasn’t mentioned much at all from memory but from what was said Sam wanted nothing to do with him (fair) Greg returned in 2000 with the intent of taking Sam to live with him but left Sam again and was never heard from after that

You’re looking at it with 2024 eyes, imo you need to view the early years with the mindset of “oh well it was insert year here” otherwise you’ll end up hating anything that isn’t the modern product with regards to Frank’s values he was born on the early side of Gen X (late 60s) so he would still have had the values of parental figures like Tom who believed it was the man who went out to work, I do take his point about someone looking after the kids but that is what babysitters and later childcare are for. a lot of it as well came down to his biological parents neglecting him as Pippa said to Bobby

i said that at the time i saw it but even in 1988 they had to have a character getting shot lol my thing was Tom knew he was dangerous yet didn't try hard enough to stop Steve going over there that night

Nicolle asked to be killed off are you suggesting the producers should’ve ignored her feelings and not respected her choice? That’s not okay
