Fans were thrilled to hear the theme music back[/caption]
Some viewers were worried about missing characters[/caption]
And while some fans have praised the video with one stating: “Great to see H&A’s iconic opening titles back,
“I’ve missed seeing the characters sitting on that amazing beach gazing out to the sea deep in thought!
“Colleen Smart got a mention in a recent episode too. And Marilyn was chatting away on the burger phone in the diner! Love it!”
Others, have not been so positive as they fear that some cast members might be leaving after the way the intro titles have been filmed.
“I (Soph) have mixed feels. Opening titles need updating when cast members leave to stop them getting out of date.
“Also, Leah/Justin and Mac/Levi have been filmed as couples.
“But other couples (like Remi/Bree) have been filmed separately. To cut them out later??” said one worried fan.
Another added: “It’s very possible with 3 year contracts for some about to come to an end.
“Also. I’d they coupled up all the couples, the credits would be rather short #HomeandAwayUK.”
“I don’t think i want any couples to be filmed together, it feels kinda spoilery. Like they’re not anticipating any breakups” explained another.
While another said: “I am tickled pink to have the theme tune again BUT I have seen these shots before. I think they are from old Channel 7 promos.”
“The clip was so quick I could barely make out it was Mac, which I think is a shame considering her status in Salt.
“The inclusion of Xander is interesting too, he won’t be in there long will he?” he questioned another fan.
Back in 2020, the show faced uncertainty due to the Covid pandemic, wage cuts and falling viewing figures.
Channel Five bosses decided to ration Home and Away episodes as television channels struggled with the impact of the pandemic.
Since then however, it seems to have found its feet again especially after Neighbours was axed and then successfully rebooted just a few months later.
Home and Away airs on Channel 5.
