Can you believe it’s 20 years since the show began with Pippa and Tom fostering kids at Summer Bay’s caravan park? Two cast members remain from the start: Kate Richie (Sally Fletcher) and Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart). The show has launched dozens of stars, some now household names worldwide.

What do you think about the news that Today Tonight reported Nicholas Boot has been suspended from his job after the “fake” stunt story about Shirtley Frey’s nursing home dispute?
Tim Campbell who plays Dan Baker on Home and Away will be one of the contestants on this year’s sixth season of Dancing with the Stars.
Today’s New Zealand Herald on Sunday has an interview with 21-year-old Jodi Gordon who plays Martha Mackenzie on Home and Away.
“I did grow up watching it. Walking on set the first day and seeing Ray was so exciting. That first day I was freaking out. Just looking around going ‘Oh gosh, I’ve seen this all on TV.’ Walking into the Summer Bay diner was just overwhelming.”
“I think people related to it. And that beach life – Australians could relate to a lot of things that have happened on Home and Away. It was more about friendship, family, love. I had crushes on all the boys. Who was that one, the one that went out with Angel? Shane! Dieter Brummer, his name was. I actually saw him at the Logies one year, and thought, ‘Oh my god, it’s Shane!’”
She talks about filming her fatal wedding day on the soap. “I was running around in a wedding dress at 3am covered in ashes out in the middle of the bush – it was so much fun. Yes, it’s getting crazier – explosions, cyclones and stalkers but when they first did the stalker storyline it worked really well, lots of people liked it. I’d like them to get back to more heartfelt stories sometimes, though – family and understanding each other – rather than all the physical stuff.”
Popular soap Home and Away returns tonight and promises to be a great start to the year with Sally’s life hanging in the balance after she was stabbed by Rocco in the season finale.
Fans have been speculating all summer with plenty of rumours about what is going to happen.
Eddie McGuide is being tipped to be the host of the new Channel Nine quiz show, 1 vs 100. The show has already been a hit in the US.
