Top right is as you said, and the top left is Robbo, Ian and Wendy with Grace. ?

A few new character profiles over the past week: Lauren, Sophia & Lucas Shaw (Robbo's deceased family) Jody Walker (Sid's ex-wife and Indi & Dex's mum) Alex Neilson And 20 years to the day since her first appearance, Sandy King is today's addition.

I was waiting for that too. I know there's others who have disagreed and criticised his running away, but I really felt for Nik through those eps. Particularly when he came face to face with Colby, and then struggled to hold it together when he realised Colby didn't blame him after all. Nik and Gemma, and their relationship, are great additions in my opinion.

'Intoxicate Me' by Songs to Your Eyes ?

Yesterday's evening episode on 5STAR aired on Channel 5 today.

A long overdue profile for Ailsa Stewart has now been added, big thanks to @Red Ranger 1 for his work on that! As a related but minor bonus, the location of Ailsa's Childhood Home from 2000 has also been added.

There's also some background on both Ethan and Tane in the 'Meet the Paratas' article we put up a couple of months ago for those interested: https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/03/04/uk-home-and-away-spoilers-meet-the-paratas/

Those couple of typos have been corrected. In related news, all current profiles have recently been updated to the end of 2019, with a new profile for Mackenzie Booth. Thanks to @Red Ranger 1 again for sorting those!

Yup, just to confirm as it wasn't explicitly stated in the statement (just like the removal of the 6pm showing wasn't stated) - their mention of usual timeslots does include the evening showing being reinstated. So back to business as usual.... for now at least.

Home and Away (as well as Neighbours) will return to five eps per week on Channel 5 on Monday 11th May. https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/04/29/home-and-away-neighbours-to-return-to-5-episodes-per-week-in-uk/ Which does thankfully mean that the blocks will be back in sync (Monday episodes on a Monday etc.)

Yes, he had acute compartment syndrome - internal bleeding had caused the pressure to build in his leg to a very dangerous point. There actually has been a death from compartment syndrome on the show before now - Charlie Nicholas back in 2000 (he was the guy that Gypsy had got involved with when they were in a car crash)

Alf & Martha's wedding was 6th February in Oz.

Yup it was definitely announced over today's closing credits, just before the helpline credit squeeze came up ? My PVR's guide hasn't been updated with Wednesday's change yet, so not sure about others. Hopefully that will come through tomorrow and the extra ep gets added to people's series link recordings. Spoke too soon, it's picked it up now ?

That'll be it! There was also a dream sequence with Irene running through the bush in her wedding dress (her premonition of Ken dying) if you want to go back a few more years ?

I know someone has been talking recently about how Leah arrived in the bay wearing her wedding dress, but that wasn't actually the case ? She had run away from her wedding of course, but she did at least change her clothes before we saw her ? There's more to come ?

We have the knack of asking the day before a decision is made! Increase to 3 episodes per week from 27th April

Just to say I spoke to C5 again today and the broadcasts are continuing as they are at this moment in time. They'll let us know when there's any further update.

@H&Alover You've just done it again - a lot of that post refers to the episode that isn't airing on C5 until tomorrow (including the part you insist isn't a spoiler, which would have been in the promo at the end of the 5STAR ep). As you're evidently watching at 5STAR pace now, I would encourage you to please use the dedicated thread to share your thoughts.

I reckon you might have hit the nail on the head there. Still seeing a lot of confusion on social media from C5 viewers - has anyone seen any mention of the change on-air? I caught the ends of both airings on Friday and it made no mention about it, which I thought was pretty poor. As RR1 mentioned, I do hope when this is all over that they manage to slip back into the intended blocks by choosing the date strategically.

@H&Alover Your post appears to include details on both the Channel 5 and 5STAR episodes (as you're aware, this thread is C5 pace only) - I'm not going to go back through the eps and try and cross-reference each sentence of your post, so I've put the whole post in a spoiler tag for now. If you wish to edit it yourself to remove the spoilers then feel free to do so. I did enjoy those Roo/Nikau scenes, they have a good rapport (mainly down to Georgie and Kawakawa I think)

It's been posted on the main site since Wednesday and discussed in the C5 Transmission thread. The show will be airing on Channel 5 on Mondays and Fridays at 13:15. There's no 6pm airing, so if you record it you'll need to make sure it's set to the lunchtime showing. The 5STAR first look eps are also limited to Monday and Friday, in the usual timeslot.

Obviously we posted this earlier, but the news had already been mentioned in here anyway so I didn't see the need to post the link ? https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2020/03/25/home-and-away-episodes-reduced-on-channel-5-in-the-uk/ What should be noted though is that both soaps are in the usual timeslots - Radio Times are reporting that H&A's afternoon airing will be showing at 12:45, but C5 has confirmed to us that it's wrong.

They would have been fully aware of Leah's site following Tommy's murder, so when the owner of said site went missing only two months later, it surely should have been one of their first lines of enquiry (it was said that it had been active since she first went missing). Once again though it's a case of having to show the police as being incompetent (and it only gets worse). I went on a right rant to my mate when that line about Alf's sisters came up... sigh.

We’ve spoken to Channel 5 this morning and nothing has been decided as yet, but they’ll get back to us once there’s any update.
