  1. And the Home and Away ones:
    4498: The non-wedding of Brad & Sally, and also the episode in which Rachel launches a very nasty verbal attack to Sally.
    4521: The episode in which little Pippa has been run over by Alf and she’s brought to the hospital.

  2. Don’t know about H&A but the two Neighbours episodes were when Frazer and Rosie discovered that she wasn’t actually pregnant when Rosie thought she was (though it turned out to be untrue in the end). It was a good couple of emotion-filled episodes.

  3. The Neighbours Episodes were the ones in which Rosie and Frazer had just lost their baby and Rosie refused to accept it. They were VERY powerful episodes and very emotional to watch. The Neighboursfans.com fansite was in total agreeance – not a bad word to be said about the performances of the two actors involved.

  4. Hey, Random Question – does anyone know what the subject was of the Home & Away & Neighbours episodes that were special enough to get the Nomination? Haven’t been able to find what happened in any of those episodes yet lol.

    Dak.
