Home and Away to return...According to Radio Times and TV Times, Home
and Away returns on 9 October, at 7pm, 6:30pm on other days Well... Ailsa doesn't die in the landslide, that's certain. But
I am not sure how she does die except when she dies will be shown
sometime in November. But... in the landslide Gavin dies, he wasn't
becoming a regular and he goes in after Shauna and it catches
fire, or collapses or something and he's still inside and he dies.
Yes.. Natalie comes back from Queensland wanting Joel back in
her life, of course he accepts and leaves and goes back to Queensland,
but don't worry, Gypsy doesn't go too. And yes.. Noah is becoming
a regular in the show and so is his big brother (the ones who
owns the bike) Beau is also becoming a regular so we'll be seeing
more of him Schumacher Spoilers for OctoberIf you want to know who dies in the landslide scroll down.... According to TV Soap, it is Gavin who dies in the landslide. Apparently Shauna is devastated when she finds out. Meanwhile, Ailsa doesn't die until November, which makes sense because it really wasn't very long ago that she filmed her last scenes. Jodie Darlington You won't see Ailsa at all now. I can't remember what I found out... Luke comes back for Sally. ...but wait, there's more... he proposes to her! Noah Lawson is to be a regular. ...so is his big brother Beau. Natalie is back next month ...and she wants Joel back. Is that to any use of you? There was one more thing but I can't remember it. Colleen manages the Diner. ©Stewart Clegg 2000. All rights reserved. Ailsa, of course, dies in the mudslide) Alicia's death...Well with Alicia she has already died and the landslide happens tomorrow so, she can't die there! Also Duncan saw Alicia before her death, she argued with him! Then I think the stalker is Charlie's old girlfriend! Joel sits down to tell Gypsy something, because he had rushed out of the diner, cause he remembered something about the boat cruise Charlie on... then all of a sudden Gypsy had a go at Harry and dumped him. Because the day before a lady came in to dry off because it was wet and she came out with her op undone and a bra. Then Joel walked in. she ran out and harry came out with a blow dryer she asked for so she could dry herself off! SO Harry explained Joel believed him and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but then when he spoke to Gypsy I thought he'd say something about the boat thing, I don't know what he said, cause they never show that scene, but she goes to the surf club and yells at him, and tells him to get out of her houseDate of returnThe riveting storm episode was the last we will see for the next few weeks. Because of the Olympic Games in Sydney and Channel 7's rights to the coverage Home and Away will return on 2nd October. Is Duncan going to be charged with Alicia's death?No, he's not. Duncan said that he went to talk to her and found her on the cliff, and they started arguing (and Alicia actually used the word 'slut' - on home and away?? shock, horror! anyway back on topic) and Alicia forgot she was on a cliff and slipped, fell and died. Inspector Carter (is that right??) asked Duncan about the clothes she was wearing, and he also asked nick, Kirsty, and jade about Alicia's clothes. I didn't actually see the episode where she fell, but apparently wherever they all saw her together she had an orange top on buttoned up. When she went for a walk along the cliff she must have gotten hot and taken the orange top off, and wrapped it around her shoulders, showing her white top underneath. Duncan was the only one who knew she had a white top on underneath, proving that he was the last one to see her. Alicia's death was put down as an accident. Tania M Home and Away off air Home and Away will not be screened on Wednesday 13th
Sept in Queensland due to Olympic highlights. However, New South
Wales & Victoria viewers will see a special 1 hr episode on
the 13th and Queensland will have 1 ½ episode on Thursday
the 14th Sept (to make up for missing the 13th Sept episode).
H&A is delayed in IrelandI've now received full details of the reasons behind why the
return of H&A has been delayed on RTE in Ireland. Apparently
RTE have been having legal problems with the Australian distributors
where despite having a contract entitling RTE to transmit H&A
now, were not allowing the tapes to be sent until July 2001! With
the sound of things the return date has been delayed until October
after the Olympics. RTE are now hoping to receive the tapes from
Australia in time for starting transmissions on Monday 2 October. According to RTE's head of acquisitions, RTE agreed with the distributors of the programme to take a break in transmission this summer, to get over problems with an uncomfortably tight turn around time for programmes to get their original airing in Australia, and then to be sent to Ireland. "We planned to bring back the series on 4 September and requested the tapes from the distributor's office in Australia. The RTE Guide had a special H&A feature lined up. The first we knew of any problem was when the chief executive of sales division in Australia emailed me on 15 August telling me that they couldn't let us have the tapes for transmission before July 2001. I was shocked, as we have a contract which entitles us to transmit
these tapes now". "Since the date, I and RTE has retained top city law firm Richards Butler, in London to issue injunction proceedings against companies in both England and Australia to get the programme tapes handed over immediately. The start date for the new series has been put off until after the Olympics". "Our aim is now to get this series by Monday 2 October". Tim Dix Home and Away in the UKIt may be off the screens in the UK until July 2001, but the
Summer Bay Stars are coming to the UK to help re-launch the Soap
on Channel 5. Every single cast member will travel to the UK.
Expect them to arrive around 15 July 2001. Kristin Mjåvatten Shauna Is Accused Of MurderShauna's involvement with a married man was bound to end in disaster, but as a murder suspect!Shauna (Kylie Watson) and Gavin have been sneaking around Summer Bay ever since Shauna succumbed to Gavin's charms. Gavin even thinks he is falling in love with Shauna. Keeping a secret in Summer Bay is no easy feat. Alf predicted if he guessed Shauna and Gavin were more than friends, it would only take time before Ailsa, Gavin's wife would work it out... Sure enough Ailsa is outraged when she discovers Gavin is having an affair and warns him if she ever finds the two of them together again, he won't be able to see their child. Shauna and Gavin attempt to 'uninvolve' themselves but they miss each other way too much. Fresh from her argument with Gavin Ailsa crosses Shauna jogging. The two females end up in a heated debate. Gavin turns up at the surf club looking for Ailsa. She hasn't returned to the car following the argument. When Gavin still hasn't found Ailsa, he calls on Alf to set up a proper search. The searchers still haven't found Ailsa by nightfall. The next morning a searcher calls Gavin over to a cliff top - he's found Ailsa's lifeless body at the bottom! Shauna and Gavin are prime suspects over Ailsa's death. Was it suicide or is there a murderer in the Bay? ------- Hey, did anyone else watch Blue Heelers? Roger Oakley popped up again, this time as a fireman. Is that the 3rd character he's played on Blue Heelers? Anyway, isn't he meant to be signed with the ABC for 'Something in the air'? That's weird. Who else has played 3 different characters in the same show within a year? He always plays the fireman, he has been playing that role in the occasional episode since around this time last year. So he hasn't played 3 different characters, although I do think it is strange that he is on Something in the Air as well. I don't think ABC is as strict with its contracts, since it is not a commercial station, so maybe that is why he can keep appearing on Blue Heelers. Sam has just left Summer Bay again after returning for a week. He has changed a lot and turned into a real sleaze. At this stage he is definitely not a champion surfer! I wrote directly to ITV boss David Liddiment 2 months ago with a strong letter playing ITV at their own game, passing the book right back to them. After 8 weeks ITV didn't respond, and it took for me to re-send the letter recorded delivery a week ago to get them to reply. Unfortunately, ITV are being even more stubborn that I thought by insisting C5 take the break until their contract expires in July 2001, and flatly refusing to listen to any attempts at negotiation. Channel 5 are still trying to negotiate with ITV, their last statement, on 4 August, read 'There is no news yet on when Channel 5 will be showing the series Home and Away'. In the meantime, here is the letter that I received from ITV yesterday, and my views in response to what ITV said. If anyone wishes to comment, or has any ideas or suggestions as to what we could do next, then please let us know!
Thank you for your letter of August 12 which David Liddiment's office has passed to me. I am sorry that it has taken longer than normal to respond to your extremely detailed letter of June 18. It is clear that you have very definite views on Home And Away - none of which are either correct or we agree with. I stand by the letter you have already received from us explaining the position. I also categorically refute the allegations you have made doubting the integrity of ITV. * ITV wanted to keep the series. The cost of the proposed new deal from the Seven Network Australia for Home And Away, meant that as Britain's favourite channel, we had to be sure that we were getting a series which could be compared to those other ITV drama serials - which we are justifiably famous for and very proud of. Seven Network Australia have made more money from their deal with ITV over Home And Away than any other. As a result of this and our proven track record in being screening quality dramas serials, we felt that it was entirely appropriate to ask for some more involvement. What was also a great concern to us was that as the producers of the programme were asking for a lifetime series deal, we needed guarantees about the quality of Home And Away. We asked for input into the script writing process, not to become co-producers as you claim. Agreement could not be reached and Seven Network Australia decided to sell Home And Away to Channel 5, knowing that this would cause the show to be off air for a period since ITV had a contract through until July 2001. Channel 5 were fully aware of this contractual situation. The market for acquired programmes is, as we have already stated in correspondence before, fiercely competitive. We have to know that contracts provide some protection, which is why ITV must stick to the letter of our contract. If we had been successful in negotiating a new deal, then the series would be on air now. As it is, the show has been sold to Channel 5, so ITV is enforcing its contract. ITV is now in the process of developing an all-new, British made drama serial to replace Home And Away, which will be further proof of our commitment to British actors, writers and other television talent. We hope to make a further announcement about this new venture in the near future and believe that if you give this new series the opportunity to establish itself, you will eventually agree that we have made the correct decision. Yours sincerely, Paul Tyrrell The first thing in the letter that ITV said to instantly put me offside is that my very definite views on Home and Away are wrong! ITV have a right to disagree with me, but not to say that my views are wrong! ITV then went to go and express their worries that as 'Britain's
favourite channel', they wanted to ensure Home And Away was up
to the same standards of their own productions, and wanted to
be involved in the script writing to guarantee the quality of
Home And Away. If ITV were this concerned about the With this appalling presentation, which has been witnessed by the Home And Away producers, it's not surprising that they didn't want ITV to have it any longer! To top all this off ITV then wanted to muscle in and ask to be involved in the script writing, casting, and content of Home And Away to ensure its 'suitability' for the ITV time slot. In other words they wanted to take the scissors to the ORIGINAL production! They try and justify this by saying that Seven Network have made the most money with overseas sales of Home And Away from ITV, so they should let them be a part of it. It's not surprising that Seven Network wouldn't allow ITV to move in like this. As far as I can see, having the kind of input that ITV wanted in the production of Home And Away would have made them CO-producers ITV treat Home And Away appallingly, then got greedy and refused to sign a new deal unless they could have a say in its production. It WAS ITV's fault that they lost the series!!! ITV's contract didn't provide them with any protection whatsoever
when it came to losing Home And Away. They only have themselves
to blame. The reason ITV are sticking to their contract is to
punish Seven Network for refusing to sell Home And Away to ITV
under ridiculous terms, to punish Channel 5 for being the station
who were prepared to buy Home And Away under reasonable terms,
and to give them the unfair advantage of getting their replacement
show on air before Channel 5 can start showing Home And Away,
in the hope of poaching some of Home And Away's more casual viewers
who haven't lost I'm sure you already know all the details about Sally's wedding. Elsewhere the biggest new development has been the arrival of the Sutherlands who have taken over the caravan park. The Father, Rhys, is an ex AFL football player, and the Mother, Shelley, is a social worker who's been talked into helping out at the drop in centre. They have three teenage daughters. Dani is the oldest, she has dreams of becoming a singer, except for one minor hurdle, she can't sing! Will has been helping her to practice and looks like he may end up getting involved with Dani if she stops playing hard to get. She's not happy about having to leave the city for Summer Bay leaving behind her now ex boyfriend Kel. Comparing Dani to other characters, she's probably most like Gypsy. The other two daughters Jade and Kirsty are twins. Jade is a really likeable character who's nice to, well everyone. She was bitten by a funnel web spider and had to spend the night in hospital. Duncan caught the spider so they could use it for identification purposes. Jade was very grateful for this and got together with Duncan. Kirsty is into skateboarding, and so far has managed to trash Don's tail light and almost kill Alf tearing around! She likes Nick and he likes her, but unlike Jade, played very hard to get. She eventually got together with Nick after letting him put his arm around her. Elsewhere Hayley and Mitch are still struggling to get the drop in centre up and running and Gypsy has scored a job at the drop in centre. Ken and Irene are engaged to be married, but I understand tragedy strikes when Ken is killed in an accident at the garage. I've not seen this yet though so more details in 2 weeks time. Vinnie and Leah are still on together. Sally has taken the failed wedding very badly and has developed OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) where she has to constantly tidy up and wash her hands. Luke, Kieran's best man at the wedding returned and helped Sally get over her problem. They almost got together. Ailsa, played for a while by stand in Nancye Hayes, finally told Shauna that she is her natural mother. She didn't say that she was raped by a prison warder but that the father was (a doctor or scientist I think it was?) who is now in Germany. Shauna has now accepted things and Duncan is pleased to have her as his half sister, even though he tried to kiss her once! Joel and Judith have started seeing each other, but I don't think this lasts. Don was interested in Judith but Joel has beaten him to it. Edward had the gene test which was positive, he has Huntington's disease. He and Peta have now left for Rome. Colleen's long lost husband Les returned, played by Rob Steele who played Chloe's Father. Colleen wasn't pleased to see him because he ran off with another woman 12 years ago, and when he returned he was a homeless dero. He's now managed to talk his way back into Colleen's house.
