User Reviews

I loved this especially Olivia

I loved this series though it did get a bit sidetracked at the end.

My favourite was Olivia (Zoe Bertram) as I was late teenager.

I was saddened to learn about 5 years after he left series Jon Blake was badly injured in car accident whilst making a film in Yorke Peninsula (SA) -I think.

Please I wish they would make more TV soaps and not all the cheap and nasty reality TV. I loath Dancing with Stars, Singing with Stars, Ice Skating with Stars.

Stuff the stars give us some actors with script and storyline.

Now only Neighbours and Home & Away on the networks and they have been around for 20 years.
