Even though I am nearly 26 yrs old, I must admit I find Home and Away is one of my favourite, if not favourite Aussie soap around.
I must admit though, one thing that DOES annoy me is how some things drag on and on (Like Project 56).
I live in Brisbane, and was down in Sydney last year, Although I didn't actually go to Palm Beach (where the beach settings are shot), I was glad to at least be in the same city as the show was shot. I do think though, they need a few more new characters in the show.
As for my most liked character.....Well hard to say, Kate Ritchie is now 27 and was only 9 yrs old when she first starred in the soap, in its debut in 1988. Her and Ray Meagher who plays Alf, are the only originals.
