I've had that song stuck in my head all evening with absolutely no idea why (particularly when I've been watching this week's Corrie and it doesn't really apply to Crawshaw)...then I come on here and find that...

Just dusting off this thread to reveal that BTTB turns 20 years old today...

New Year’s Day - updated it on the site a couple of weeks ago but forgot to mention in here.

That'll be next year for H&A.

Just to add that it will be returning to the usual timeslot when it returns in the New Year. https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2023/10/27/home-and-away-in-channel-5-afternoon-timeslot-change/

Daily eps dropping at 7am Monday-Thursday

Indeed, they've not been credited since this version debuted in 2018.

Can't say offhand if Nigeria had previously been mentioned, but Celia was in Tanzania (??) in 2000 - it was the embassy in Dar es Salaam that alerted the office of foreign affairs in Oz when she went missing.

7676 ?

There wasn't any filming in the US other than some well-placed stock footage ? ? Nice example there, funnily enough I put my location hunting skills to good use and added the warehouse location onto the SC2 IMDb page a couple of years back. There was a particularly telling moment in H&A's most recent London shoot (featuring the family beginning with B) where they took a shot of the exterior of St Thomas' in London, yet the interior of the hospital miraculously had Australian plug sockets... the stock 'nee-naw' sound effect of a UK ambulance from the 80s was a bit jarring for 2014 too ?

Our Coral interview again ?

At risk of veering too far off the original intention of the thread, you can see it here, should start at the right timestamp but if not it's 01:49:45.

It was absolutely true - that snippet originally came from our interview with Coral Drouyn, which was then referenced on Wiki, from where it was eventually brought up with Lynne. Coral has also spoken about it again more recently.

Cash is turning either 29 or 30 this year, Flick is 3 years younger.

Mac and Dean are definitely the same age as it was mentioned in dialogue when she first arrived. I can't remember offhand it's been mentioned specifically which one is the (slightly) older one though, and we only know Dean's DOB so far.

Other than Kat being pregnant when she died, the only one I can think of offhand was Lara Fitzgerald (which was due to the actor Rebecca George being pregnant) - we saw Fitzy heavily pregnant and she had the baby off-screen on the day of Jack Holden's funeral.

Not just me then! They've been a bit on/off over the past couple of weeks - they're currently showing on my laptop but not on my iPad. I'd meant to mention it before now, but will flag it for @Chris J to take a look when he gets a few mins.

And there we have it, the Top Three have been announced. Click through for our news story where we recap on the Top 20 before revealing the final result. Big thanks once again to @Red Ranger 1 for his commentary, and to those that voted in our tenth Most Popular Home and Away Character poll.

Into the Top 5 we go, as the points move into the 2000s...

And we're finally into the Top 10...

Into the Top 20 we go...

And into the Top 40, with a big jump in points...

Into the Top 60 with those who scored 39-68 points. Don's always my number one. Anyone want to hazard a guesstimate at how many points the winner received? ?

Today, those that scored 20-36 points.

Into the Top 100....
