Trivia
Debra Lawrance replaced Vanessa Downing as Pippa Fletcher in 1990, however after her own departure in 1998, the show continued to use both actresses' likeness in flashbacks and photographs throughout the series, possibly the only television serial to do so.

Goofs
Throughout the years, numerous characters have referred to "the city" (meaning Sydney) as being either "up" or "down" from Summer Bay. The general consensus, however, is that Summer Bay is north of Sydney (approximately 100km away), as is the real-life filming location.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Alf Stewart: Stone the flamin' crows!

Crazy credits
In June 1996 the credits changed so Shane approaches from the other side of the screen, causing Angel to be confused.

Home and Away

I'm from merry old england- and i think that this show is tons better that the English ones you get. the story lines are always good unlike the ones you get on soaps over here. i love the whole story and have been watching it for the past twelve years its great!!! i think that Nick Smith should come back and personally i like the old Hayley Smith (Cartwright) better. she was a great actress. Paul O' Brian is amazingly good looking its unbelievable!! LOL. and so is the one that plays Lucas. Home and Away never stops bringing in eye candy for us girls or for the boys. it is a truly magnificent show. i wish i was part of it. LOL!!
