Not sure of these, but started the list with those I remember. Not sure about lunchtime showings as they moved all over the place during the Gulf War IIRC. I do know the showings were networked in 1999 with 1pm and 5pm screenings. ITV finished with Ep 2840 in June 2000 I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.241.156.148 (talk) 17:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Is it just me, or have they tampered with the frame rate? It looks like it has been filmed at 30fps and then converted to 25fps. Can anyone confirm? If yes, then my question is why? Do they do it because they have NTSC audiences? Or do they do it to give it an American "FEEL" about it? Would doing this somehow draw a larger audience, who might associate the framerate to highly successful shows like Dawsons Creek, The O.C. etc, and be subliminally drawn to watch Home & Away? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.234.51 (talk • contribs) 09:43, 8 June 2005 (UTC)
They switched to filming in digital in 2004/2005. This gives the show a different look, and is probably what you noticed. TV is broadcast at 25fps regardless of how it was filmed, so filming at 30fps would means you would have to drop every sixth frame, or have everyone moving slower --220.240.3.154 06:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Can someone please remove the bit about a resurgence of interest in the US and Canada - there is no evidence for this. At the very least, it needs a 'citation needed'. If it was so popular in North America, it would be on air. I do not believe for a second the Canadian networks are 'in a battle' over rights to the programme. It was obviously not deemed suffient a ratings success to be retained some years back, so this info is completely bogus.
The overdose of international airing info doesn't help this article much on the whole either; it needs original series premise information (the foster family idea, one which originated from creator Alan Bateman's 'ice-cream' stop in a small town due to get a teen shelter.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.200.76 (talk) 11:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't someone update the storyline section!! It says that it is unknown how Cassie leaves...this is old now and it is known that Cassie left with Sally and Pippa (Jnr) to go on a trip.

Was there really a bidding war between ITV and five? I thought ITV/Carlton just decided to dump the soap like they did with so many others eg, PCBH, Crossroads, High Road etc that weren't performing so well in the ratings.... It stinks that they made us wait so long before five could show it Alextimmins 19:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't personally remember any such bidding war otherwise why would ITV have dropped it and left it? Fools! Cls14 22:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
The contract for the renewal came up and ITV wanted to pay a lower price than it was paying at the time. So Southern Star who distribute it decided to hire a researcher to see what appeal H&A still had in the UK, and found that it was making ITV money. It was Seven that decided to open up the bidding - Channel 5 offered to pay a lower price and to also commit to the show for as long as it is made, which ITV weren't prepared to do. Hence why Seven decided to sell it to Five.

Because virtually all of the articles on the characters only contained an infobox and a mention of the actor who played the character, I've redirected most of them to either List of Home and Away characters or Current Home and Away characters. Per Wikipedia:Notability (fiction):

Whilst it is cruel and distressing that Belinda Emmett has died at such a young age, this article is about the current cast and the show itself, not an actress who left the show a while ago. This would set a precedent for other long running shows. (Quentin X 17:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC))
I noticed that the majority of the links to major sites containing information about Home and Away have been removed, with three so-called official sites remaining, all of which contain relatively little information if readers were wanting to further their knowledge past what is currently has rather limited information on wikipedia. For instance for those wishing to learn more about the show, which is probably came to this article in the first, will find much more informations on good fansites such as BTTB.net for H&A and PB.net and NF.com for Neighbours, rather than official sites which rarely provide you with more information than what's happening next week and that it's possible to have more than ten moving images on the one page (Ryan86 21:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC))
Some tosser has done it again
I've put the links back that the knobhead deleted.
It says that a "A web directory category, when deemed appropriate by those contributing to the article, with preference to open directories." can be considered, this page says Wikipedia:External links under links to be considered.
Yesterday I added a site which had a directory of all the Home & Away fansites but the link was today deleted by J Di, isn't this site allowed? Also, I haven't seen any arguments over the order on here at all.

Having just read the Neighbours article, this one seems so bland. The Neighbours article is well written and contains a history of major plotlines and characters. The H&A article is full of boxes and basically just trivia, and way too much UK info.
On many of the character pages, the plot is not in chronological order - to my belief - probably due to people from different parts of the world, mainly UK and Australia, seeing the episodes at different times and then editing accordingly. For example, some events appear more than once in a summary, which is quite confusing. I suggest a review of the chracter pages and then a rewrite if necessary.

Is it really necessary to have such a long description about the broadcast times and history for the international broadcasts, especially the UK broadcast history. I don't believe it adds much value to the article and it seems too confusing to read. Also, is it really necessary to have a deceased cast member table? The article needs to be shorter in my opinion. I have just gone through the article briefly making grammatical changes and fixing links etc. A fair bit of work still needs to be done on this page. Slabba 10:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
About the info on the Belgian broadcasts. Belgium (Flanders) started running the series in December 1989 on VTM (Flemish commercial tv station) and not in 1995 on Kanaal 2 as it is mentioned in the article. So it started in 1989 on VTM and in 1995 it moved to Kanaal 2 which is the second channel of VTM. Since the beginning of March 2008, Kanaal 2 changed its name to "2BE". Episodes run every weekday at 6pm with a repeat the day after at 1:30pm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tideledi (talk • contribs) 07:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Link for 2be: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tideledi (talk • contribs) 07:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
About the show being played in Canada, it aired on YTV and they started right from the first episode when the channel launched in August 1988. However, they only had the rights to broadcast the first 200 episodes and then they would just loop all over again, making the show impossible to follow. This went on for several years until 1993. In about 2002 or so, Global(part of the same conglomerate that owns Ten/Freemantle) played the show at 4:30 PM weekdays. I don't think it did very well in that time slot because it was dumped to 4:30 AM in about 2003 or 2004. It was eventually dumped from the line-up all together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.63.62.45 (talk) 11:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I have just spent ages adding the Home and Away template to each character's page, I think it is important to have it on all characters, not just the current ones, as it makes it easier to navigate. Slabba 11:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Should I request this article for protection? This article sees many anon users editing it - most of these edits do not improve the article in anyway. Eg. Home and Away#Upcoming and departing cast members - people keep taking off the citation needed tags. I'm really annoyed to have to do this every single day. — *Hippi ippi 11:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I have taken 2 hours of my time to clean up this article. I will now explain my major edits.
Okay, I'd like people's opinion. If you hate it, we'll sort it out.
One more thing - this article really, really needs references. I tried looking for refs for particular facts, but I failed. Something needs to be done, but I don't know what. — *Hippi ippi 13:00, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree that there was a lot of irrelevant information, and the article seems to have been accumulating more, since it was last cleaned up ages ago, someone reverted it back. I think that the awards section could be changed, maybe a Wiki Table with each year and then the people who won something in that year listed, or some other way. Chris 212 09:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
My guess is that a lot of the various updates regarding future cast changes come from a variety of Home and Away fansites out there, sometimes directly through the site and sometimes through media articles and are then posted on those sites. The members there then post what they find here.
PS: You won't find a source for Pippa Saunders leaving the show - a 5 y.o child actor won't be of any interest and it is taken as a given that she will leave with Sally. -- Ryan86 21:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Unless there is a source that supports a claim of some one leaving or coming back to the show there name should not be on the list on departing characters etc). I noticed that a discussion was taking place on another forum that was talking about the return of kane and kirsty. There source was wikipedia and the source of the wikipedia article is not present hence i removed that part. In order to uphold the integrity of wikipedia this issue needs to be addressed. I will be taking action and working on these sections. When adding a statment in relation to some one leaving or coming etc make sure its true and provide a source! Or i'll delete it. Does this sound fair??? It's so easy for a person just to write that some one is leaving when they are not,, and then some one sees it on wikipedia and thinks its true,, and when it doesnt come true, it makes wikipedia look bad.

I have gone through all of the articles in Category:Home and Away characters, and found that none of them feature significant referencing. As a result, they are now all tagged with reference-needed templates. Some of them have remained so tagged for several months, with no references added to support the real-world notability of the subjects. If reliable, verifiable references are not provided for these articles in the near future, it is my intention to list these articles for deletion, following the examples set in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brad Armstrong (Home and Away), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matilda Hunter (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ric Dalby (second nomination). - Mark 10:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
The current table is way to big, quite confusing and mentions Neighbours way to many times. Speaking of which, some time ago I made a compact schedule table for the Neighbours article and, perhaps for uniformity's sake, propose one for Home and Away.

This policy states: Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.
Based on this it is my interpretation that speculation about characters that are either coming to the bay or leaving the bay are not premited, as first of all it is hard to 100% verify this speculation and it's really not that important, that it would merit an article if these characters had already come or left.
so i have removed this sort of content and will continue to as per the policy, any issues discuss it here. Cheers Printer222 (talk) 10:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, I like the fact that the H&A page has been "protected" from anyone editing it, however, the person who added that RTÉ will not be airing episodes for THREE WEEKS in June is COMPLETELY WRONG !
It is true that Home and Away has been removed from the RTÉ schedule starting on June 9 but this is for ONE WEEK ONLY. Home and Away will return to RTÉ on Monday, June 16 at 13:25.

Further up on this page in April I signalled that I had tagged a gazillion Home and Away character articles as being unreferenced, and that if reliable sources weren't given for them, there would be mass deletions in the near future. Well, I've just gone through the ones I tagged and haven't found more than a couple of random references given for them in the 5 months (or more) they have been tagged, so I have removed all unreferenced material. Any material which gets added to them in future without a reliable source given as a reference will get reverted by me. According to the Verifiability policy, "any material challenged... should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" and "the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material".
My concern with these articles is that they have become places for fans to publish their own analyses and synthesis based upon one primary source (the show). This is pretty blatant violation of the No Original Research rule. - Mark 02:08, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I am so sick of the large UK History do us readers really have to read the extremely discriptive UK screenings of home and away im sure very few are interested the exact days and days the show does not play and what episode number screened when, if it continues i will continue to delete it until it ends or is abreviated like any other country, if you want a schedule of when the show airs on Five and any of its other channels consult the broadcasters website or create a seperate page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.161.118 (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Can someone also look at removing the incorrect detail about the apparent success of the show in the US and Canada? This is blatantly made up and not the case at all. There is **no way** Canadaian networks are locked in a battle over the series; acquisitions bidding wars simply don't prolong in the way described. Someone wins, or they don't. There simply isn't an appetitite for the show in Canada or the US.
I agree the UK history is overlong, and this article is generally over-obsessed with the when (it's on) and not nearly as much about its origins, themes and key plot points (where is 'The Stalker' storyline mention, which was the point of its revival under Cameron Welsh a few years back). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.200.76 (talk) 22:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
A profile page for Aden needs doing, it was deleted, I tried to do one but it wouldn't let me. Can someone please do one.Gillyh (talk) 21:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thats bull the Character information was totally accurate and in encyclopedic format before it was over zealously deleted and I can say that with authoriting having watched and been a fan of the show since 1993. On the point of Referencing, its near imposible to reference asoap which has aired for the last twenty-one years without ever having a season repeated. (talk) 2:48, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I have deleted the table for new and departing cast members as pure speculation as there are no reliable sources at all for the claims. The information can be restored if reliable sources can be located. florrie 07:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced information continues to be inserted into this article. Editors could be assisting by adding reliable sources instead of material that will be deleted - and continue to be deleted - as crystal balling and original research. florrie 02:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

The link to Annie Campbell should be removed as she does not have her own page. Other characters who have no pages have got no links.Coronation Street Fan (talk) 16:06, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
As this list seems to be always changing, with names removed without being saved on one of the other lists (as far as I can tell), I have removed them from the main article and placed the existing names in the tables at List of Home and Away characters. See Wikipedia is not a program guide. florrie 13:14, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Anyone thinking that Controversies should be it's own parent section instead of being a child class of History (sorry, speaking flow chart language here). I think it's kind of weird having it there.
Just opening this up for discussion with my fellow wikipedians!
Seeing it is dealing with a controversial issue, I think this header is more appropriate. I'm not too skilled in structuring wiki pages. I do personally think it should be it's own section, I will however leave that to someone else to change it... or when I at least figure out how to do it. lol --Messenger777 (talk) 12:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Why is Martin Bartlett on the main cast member list, he's only a guest character. Why is Todd Lasance on the departure list, it has not been confirmed he is leaving, so he should be removed from the departure list.
((editsemiprotected))
Even though, Annie has left and her profile has been removed from the Official Site, it has been confirmed by Dan at BTTB that she is returning with Irene in a few weeks. She needs to be put back on the current cast list. It is confirmed in the spoiler section under Annie and Jai leaving.
Here's the confirmation Annie is coming back, it was in TV WEEK this week. http://s749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/eclms/?action=view¤t=img325.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.224.18 (talk) 21:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Annie needs putting back on the current cast list as she is returning. It's been confirmed on the official site. http://au.tv.yahoo.com/home-and-away/features/article/-/article/6498063/take-seven/
It has not been confirmed that Aden is leaving yet, so why has he got a departure date next to his name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.15.170 (talk) 23:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
It has now been confirmed Todd is leaving. http://au.tv.yahoo.com/home-and-away/features/article/-/article/6556108/sad-news/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.17.34 (talk) 14:30, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
{[edit unprotected]]
The updated section regarding the 2010 season in the UK needs editing, were're in season 22 not 23, H&A celebrated it's 21st birthday last year, so the number after 21 is 22. Also the season needs chaging in the information panel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.72.224.94 (talk) 20:13, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
2010 is season 23. 1988 is the season 1, if you say that 2010 is season 22, that means that 1989 would be season 1. count 1988 - season 1, to 2010 - 23, it does add up to season 23.
I've noticed that this article is in a bit of a state. It has a total of 23 references, it should contain much more then that. There is a large Broadcast section with only two sources to back up the information. The history section, for some reason, contains information about Neighbours that is in no way relevant to the history of Home and Away. The production section contains one, unreferenced sentence. The lead mentions that the show has won over 30 Logie Awards, but this isn't mentioned anywhere in the article and there is no link to the List of awards and nominations received by Home and Away page (which also needs some work as it only lists the Logie awards).
This article has the potential to become a Good article, like Neighbours and EastEnders, but it needs a lot of work. Are there any regular Home and Away contributors willing to help improve the article? I'm going to try and do as much as I can, but, as Neighbours is my main specialty, it would be better to have the Home and Away editors help out. - JuneGloom07 Talk? 16:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Is there a source regarding the return of these. If so please post it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.17.34 (talk) 12:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
What do you all think to changing the colour of the bright orange infobox/template? As per Wikipedia:Navigation templates, there needs to be a fairly good reason for seperate colour from the normal, other than "gives the soap opera a seperate identity". I think it would look better following suite and using the default colour of Infobox 2.. used in Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Neighbours and so on. Your thoughts?RAIN the ONE (Talk) 23:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
The list of current characters needs putting back, someone has removed it. it does not need a list of characters from 1988 to 2010, that just ridiculous. There is already a list of past characters —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.254.181 (talk) 19:55, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
the character list should just be in the main article, there's no need for a separate article.
confirmation of Jay Lagia's return as Elijah.
taken from a Q&A in TV WEEK magazine in August. In the Q&A bit as well this was asked -
Q- 'I'm extremely disappointed with the way Home and Away played out Leah and Elijah's storyline. I thought Leah was finally going to have some lasting happiness! Is there any chance Elijah has only left temporarily?
A- 'It's your lucky day...it's safe to say we haven't seen the last of Elijah in Summer Bay, out home and away spy informs us...Perhaps some happiness is on the cards for Leah after all!' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.72.235.191 (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I've gone through the page for the list of episodes for Home and Away, and after the long scroll though, found it rather pointless and irrelivent to have on Wikipedia.
This page dose not meet the standards of Wikipedia, see here.
The article is far too long, is incomplete, missing sources to said information, and provides no real insight for readers. However, I do find the series overveiw to be of use, and find that can summaries the pag eup itself.
I for one, propose we delete this page, but If any editors or admins find the page to be of use, or are willing to improve on it, lets disscuss. B.Davis2003 (talk) 04:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
