Trivia:
Of the seventeen original cast members (one still remains today), all but five have reprised their roles on the show since their initial departures. All have reappeared at least twice, except for three (Ailsa, Bobby and Tom) who came back as "ghosts" when their characters were killed-off. The original characters who have not returned are Neville McPhee, Lynn Davenport and Roo Stewart as well as Vanessa Downing who played Pippa (the role was recast after her departure, and her successor has reappeared as the character, following her own departure, since). Neville McPhee was killed-off off-screen. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Carly Lucini had her baby in 1992, it was a girl. But when the Ross family tried to help Pippa regain her memory in 1997, they said Carly had had a boy! more
Quotes:
Colleen Smart: Well, it isn't hard to figure out what's going on, Maximus. I wasn't born yesterday!
Max Sutherland: You can say that again. I mean, you're very smart, Mrs. Smart.

a very good drama, 15 March 2002
Author: mongoose249 from Gerglletowne, Australia

ok,maybe it can be over the top! but the person who said that it was the worst TV show well for a silly TV show its lasted pretty long! it is a very good show. And is famous to many people over the world so get over you self whoever said that!

It is the BEST TV drama yet! Their characters are not real but is really realistic to life in Australia: Divorce, affairs, children, unexpected pregnancies, runaway kids,abusive families, love, loss, honour, and heroism. The diner is something also that makes the show. Believe me people! this is a very good drama. It is very good, Trust Me! its great!
