A magazine to mark 25 years of Home and Away have been published jointly by Channel Seven and New Idea today.

The 132-page magazine features “12 pin-up posters and all new content including exclusive interviews with the Home and Away cast, behind the scenes secrets and surprises on what lies ahead.”

It follows the success of the 21st anniversary special, which required a reprint to meet demand. By now the show must have also accrued more TV Week covers than any other show.

Editor Andrea Black said, “Our million+ fans have grown up watching the show, and we’re very proud to be bringing them more of the iconic Australian drama.

“The one-shot presents a unique opportunity to extend the TV show’s content to a magazine audience, in an innovative, bright and engaging way.”

Retailing at $9.95 it will be available from newsagencies and selected retailers, and can be purchased online at www.ibuytoday.com.au/haway2

TV Tonight readers recently voted ‘Alf Stewart’ the most favourite Aussie soap character of all time.

The show first hit screens on 17 January 1988.

  2. The Cast that started it all out would with a few exceptions be in the forties or above now.The Roo Character was a different actress and a teenager back in the Eighties and Indi and her real life sister Lotti weren’t even born yet in 1988.I bet you those of us who have since switched to watching American Done to Death Sitcoms or the ABC OR SBS news services in recent time wouldn’t recognize or care about what goes on in Summer Bay or would like to go back to a Simpler Time where it was a lot safer.

  3. It has its ups and downs but the general consistency of this show is quite unique, Its a well oiled machine that has gone from trivial soap to something more like nightime mainstream drama that only occasionally bears the signs of a hurried two and a half hours of TV per week.

    Lincoln Younes is the most interesting young actor to appear on the show for years, watch him in this, then his latest stint on “Tangle”on DVD as the troubled and hostile Romeo. Send this kid to New York for a year to learn a bit of Method and “H&A” will have a genuine actor graduate in the Ryan Kwanten mould, not a 15- minute- of- fame hunk, but an actor who will give us a magnificent Stanley in “Streetcar” and a Biff in “Salesman” in years to come.
