Home and Away
“Home and Away” is set in the imaginary coastal town of Summer Bay in New South Wales, and it explores the personal and professional lives of its residents. The series initially centered on the Fletcher family, consisting of Pippa and Tom Fletcher and their five foster children: Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lynn Davenport, and Sally Keating, who would eventually become one of the show’s longest-standing characters. The narrative also originally and currently highlights the Stewart family. In the early 2000s, the main plots shifted to focus on the Sutherlands and later the Hunters. Since its debut in 1988, “Home and Away” quickly gained popularity in Australia, and within a few weeks, it addressed its first major and unsettling storyline involving the rape of Carly Morris, making it one of the first shows to tackle such issues in an early timeslot. The series has consistently dealt with mature and controversial themes, which is uncommon for its restricted airing time.
