I agree with some of these, but I don't think most viewers would accuse Matt of not having any personality - although the writing for him's admittedly been a bit boring recently.
I don't know why his drinking and robbing the ATM wasn't made into a much bigger storyline. Most of it happened offscreen which I find totally bizarre. He now seems recovered with no long-term consequences whatsoever on the character... :wall:
Also ahead on Summer Bay, Josh Barrett will be left unconscious after being pushed down the stairs by an unknown culprit.

Home and Away teen Josh Barrett will be left fighting for his life after he rescues his former girlfriend Evie MacGuire from Tank's dangerous clutches.
Evie's controversial new romance with Tank has raised concern among those closest to her, but their fears increase in upcoming episodes when she decides to run away with him.
However, once away from the Bay, Evie starts to see Tank's true colours when he refuses to let her contact her family and attempts to lock her in a shack.
Knowing she needs help, Evie reaches out to Josh before attempting to escape, but a determined Tank refuses to give up without a fight and chases her.
Although Josh turns up in time and manages to get Evie home to safety, it soon becomes apparent that the trouble is only just beginning when a furious Tank returns to her house.
As Josh prepares to confront the troublemaker, Tank emerges from behind him and delivers a coward punch, causing Josh to fall to the floor and smash his head on the ground.
In a a tragic twist of events, Josh isn't discovered until the following morning, but despite being rushed into hospital, his outlook looks increasingly bleak. Will Josh pull through?
Jackson Gallagher, who plays Josh, said to TV Week: "Tank comes from behind and catches Josh off-guard. He coward punches him.
"Josh could die. He is in a coma on life support. It appears he is brain dead - there is a real chance this could be the end."
These are the emotional moments in which Josh Barrett's loved ones prepare to turn off his life-support in Home and Away.
Australian viewers have recently seen Josh hospitalised after he suffered a brutal attack at the hands of Evie's troublesome ex-boyfriend Tank.

Apparently Evie sleeps with Andy, I thought her and Josh got back together and get engaged
Evie & Andy kiss.. Hannah sees it but then Evie walks off so not sure they sleep together.

Woman’s Day has today reported that Ada Nicodemou has split from her husband, Chrys Xipolitas after nine years, but have also all-but-confirmed the departure of Ada’s castmate, Tai Hara.
http://i1.wp.com/www.backtothebay.ne...16/02/Andy.jpg
Tai Hara as Andy Barrett
The popular Australian magazine reported “Meanwhile, the pair [Ada and Chrys] has been noticeably absent from one another’s social media pages, and haven’t been spotted out together since early December, when they attended the engagement party of Ada’s former cast-mate Tai Hara and his fiancée, Fely Irvine.”
Tai joined the long-running soap in September 2013 as bad-boy Andy Barrett and has been at the centre of several love triangles, as well as a shocking storyline that saw the murder of Casey Braxton.
Andy is currently a suspect in the Charlotte King murder investigation, and if this news is true, then Woman’s Day may have just spoiled the ending to one of the soap’s biggest storylines in the last decade.
While there is no official word, it is widely known that the series often doesn’t report on cast departures until just before it occurs onscreen. The news also follows rumours of a massacre that will reportedly kill off 6 characters. This rumour has been denied by former Series Script Executive, Dan Bennett.

why would andy kill charlotte
AUST PACE! SPOILER ALERT!
Andy's motive is that Charlotte overheard Josh say to Andy something like "don't forget I lied to the cops for you when you killed Jake Pirovic". When she needs money to leave town, she confronts Andy & tells him unless he gives her money she will tell the cops he killed Pirovic & also tell them that Josh gave him a false alibi (but she doesn't tell Andy how she knows all this). He calls her bluff, says she has no proof, & basically tells her to get stuffed. But then later she shows up at Zac & Leah's wedding threatening to expose everyone's secrets (including murder etc). Andy tells Kyle that she knows about Pirovic & they realise that she might just tell the police (Josh, who is still blind at this stage, says that if she does tell, they are both going to jail). So, Andy & Kyle decide they have to find her first. They go off separately to look for her. While out looking, Andy briefly sees Hannah but brushes her off as he is in a hurry & then bumps into Evie (for the kissing scene), but what does he do after that............?
I don't think Andy kills her. In the TV Week spoilers by the H&A Writer Lucy Adoewitrewuroiweori or w/e she said something like "We'll find out who killed Charlotte, as well as a wedding, a proposal, and a court case that could see a favorite locked up for good." (or something like that). The court case was filmed a few weeks ago, with Matt, Josh, Evie, Kat, Ash (I think) and Andy all there - so the "court case that could see a favorite locked up" seems to be Andy.
To me, that says it's separate from the Charlotte murder, if it was related to Charlotte I think it would've been phrased together. Not only that, but Isabella said in like late Nov/early Dec that she knows who killed Charlotte as the script was out, the court case was filmed months later. This seems like a pretty big gap between the murder reveal and the court case.

It's been confirmed on Facebook that Tai Hara is leaving:

There's also rumours Hannah's leaving/has left because the actress has been in the US recently. Perhaps Andy and Hannah leave together?
I wouldn't be upset to see the back of the pair of them, but I'll be sad for Chris if this happens.
I was just getting used to Andy and growing to like him but he is no loss really to the show
Jeez
Spoiler:
Of course its all speculation on my part. I could be wrong - I usually am.
:D
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
Another Cast Member Says Goodbye
A rumoured departure has been confirmed, possibly signalling the end to a long-running storyline, currently playing out on Australian & UK viewers' screens.
Josh Barrett has just been revealed as the person who shot Charlotte, & it has now been confirmed that his portrayer, Jackson Gallagher, has departed the long-running Aust series, Home and Away. New Zealand entertainment site, stuff.co.nz confirmed that Jackson has left the show after almost 3 years on-screen.
His departure has been speculated about for several months, & the rumours continued to swirl when Jackson's co-stars where seen outside a court, & he was walked away by police in handcuffs.
Over his 3 years on the series, Josh Barrett has been in several romantic storylines, most notably his on-off relationship, & subsequent engagement to Evelyn MacGuire. He was also shot by his mother, held hostage, involved in a bus-crash, & king-hit by his love rival, Tank Snelgrove, leading to him going through a stage of blindness.
Back To The Bay would like to wish Jackson the best of wishes for the future.

Home and Away brothers Josh and Andy Barrett have left Australian screens in very dramatic style, and here is a first look at their exit for UK fans.
Josh (Jackson Gallagher) will flee court with help from Andy immediately after he is given a harsh 25-year prison sentence for the accidental murder of Charlotte King.
In a surprise twist, Josh and Andy's shock getaway is assisted by the security guard leading Josh away to his cell. After getting the go-ahead from the guard, Josh knocks him to the ground, before fleeing into the speeding car.
Later scenes then see Josh and Andy disposing of their phones and personal belongings, before fleeing the Bay for good.

Evie in Home and Away
While the pair's escape plan is to ensure Josh doesn't spend his life in prison, Andy (Tai Hara) has his own reasons for wanting to leave after he unwittingly caused the caravan explosion that cost the lives of Oscar MacGuire and Hannah Wilson.
Before leaving, Josh stopped to send a final text to his heartbroken girlfriend Evie, in which he apologised for leaving her and promised he'd love her forever.
Hara's exit was announced earlier this year but Gallagher's departure was merely speculated about until recently.
Home and Away will air Josh and Andy's exits later in the summer.

Sad to see more cast members go :-(
is that their exits, on the run
I quite enjoyed their exit! It was better than I was expecting (though admittedly the escape itself was wildly implausible and much too easy). http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...sm037blush.gif
