I would not say that but I agree that having the same kind of family replacing the Braxtons and this soon will not necessarily add to this particular showQuote:

The actor, whose role has not aired in the UK yet, said critics needed to "grow up" and praised the show for launching a number of Hollywood careers.
"I know why a lot of people are saying 'why have you gone to Home and Away?', but they need to grow up now. Our coaches are the best in Australia," Stewart told The New Day.
"Home and Away doesn't sit there and ask the big questions," he added.
"It just shows little scenes and that's as basic as it is, and for 28 years people have been going 'half of me wants to switch it on and chill out with my family' - it's a simple pleasure the audience has and don't mess with it, that's what they want."

Stewart hit out recently at comparisons between the new Morgan family and the Braxtons on the Australian soap.
"I know that what's out there is we're a family - and, apparently, nowhere near as good as the Braxtons," he said.

Home and Away has finally revealed the dark secret that the Morgan family have been desperately trying to hide since arriving in Summer Bay.
In tense scenes airing in Australia yesterday, Mason (Orpheus Pledger) told his girlfriend Lara that his family were in witness protection - and under a false identity.
Viewers will have to tune in to learn who the Morgans really are and how they came to land in protection, but there will undoubtedly be huge repercussions for Mason, who is fully aware that he shouldn't have disclosed the top secret information.
Mason was forced to spill the beans to Lara, played by Elle Harris, when she broke up with him over his shifty behaviour.
Lara had arrived in the Bay hoping for a romantic reconciliation with Mason, but was left devastated when she saw him looking friendly with Evie MacGuire.
Although the Aussie soap has unveiled what the Morgans have been hiding, the story is far from over as they will be targeted by a threatening man called Spike in upcoming scenes.
Aware of the family's dark history, Spike's presence will leave them in very serious danger and fans will be left wondering if anyone escapes unscathed.
Digital Spy
Home and Away is lining up a terrifying situation for Justin and Phoebe as the Morgan family's shocking secret continues to cause waves.
If you've been watching in Australia, you'll already know that Summer Bay's new arrivals are under witness protection. But they will find themselves in a world of trouble when dangerous villain Spike catches up with them.
Spike's tied up in the family's complicated past, and it'll become clear that he actually knows a lot more than they initially though.
The drama will air in Australia next week, when Spike confronts a confused Justin over a book belonging to his dad. He then holds both Justin and Phoebe hostage while they search the house trying to find it.
But when the pair fail to locate the book, Spike delivers Justin a very worrying warning, insisting that if he is unable to find it, he and his family will die.
As Justin desperately searches for the mystery book, he stumbles across a very important clue in the most unlikely of places – his childhood teddy bear.
On further inspection, he realises that the toy holds further information, but what is it? And what's the book all about?
"Justin was heavily involved with his father, so he knows what went on. But he doesn't know about this book," James Stewart, who plays Justin, told TV Week.
"Spike doesn't want anyone else involved. If Justin says anything to anyone, his family are dead.

I wish i could tell James Stewart that no everyone thinks that way, the Braxtons are the Braxtons and sure even i see similarities in some ways but thats because the boys were around for so long and to be honest even I loved the braxtons at times. BUT and i must say this alot of people also were getting absolutely sick of the Braxtons after a while as well. its now they are gone some get caught up in lost memories of the episodes when in actual fact it got so drawn out in parts that some of us would rather change the channel.
He also has a point to that shows like Home & Away and Neighbours have been around for australians since the day of the arc (figuratively speaking), they are a platform now to launch people's careers, and for those to say its a step down or what on earth is he doing on there, I would challenge and say what about Georgie Parker and the aussie soaps she was on now she is a regular. I like him and I for one hope he sticks around i love the chemistry between him and pheobe.

Yeah it's Brody, I like him too.
I was sick of the Braxtons from the very start of their reign!Quote:

I hope my so far mostly favourable impression of the family is borne out. I already like Tori and think she's a positive addition to H&A.
Me too Brody is hotQuote:

Mason will blurt out the truth when confronted by his confused girlfriend Lara, but the Summer Bay newbies soon have more pressing things to worry about as a mysterious man tracks them down.
Ever since the Morgans arrived, it's been obvious that something doesn't quite add up - and all will become clear when Mason tells Lara they have been in witness protection for the last seven years.
And why? Well, it later transpires that their dad was involved in a drug syndicate and was killed for it, while their mum was caught in the scandal too.
With valid reason to want to keep their heads down, the siblings are faced with their worst nightmare when they realise that Mason (Orpheus Pledger) has spilled the beans, and frantically start to consider their next move.
After a more level-headed Tori makes contact with their witness protection officer - who assures them that their whereabouts is still a secret - they breathe a sigh of relief. However, when a man later starts asking questions about them, it is clear that they are anything but safe.
Unfortunately, Nate soon finds himself in the crossfire when 'Tim' (his real name is Spike) targets him, but is he about to pay for the Morgans' past? And are the family about to face their biggest fear?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Wednesday, August 17 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

It's heating up in Summer Bay! Home And Away's James Stewart locks lips with Isabella Giovinazzo on set... after giving in to growing sexual tension
They recently gave in to the growing sexual tension between them.
And it appears as though romance is blossoming between Justin Morgan and Phoebe Nicholson on Home And Away.
Justin, who is played by heartthrob James Stewart, was seen kissing Isabella Giovinazzo on the set of the popular soap opera on Monday.
The pair were pictured enjoying a romantic walk in Palm Beach, north of Sydney, before stopping to sit and chat.
They were seen flirting as they perched on a fence in the sunshine during filming for the show.
Wearing a teal vest and grey shorts, James, 40, showed off his rippling muscles as he kissed his co-star.
Isabella also opted for a casual look in a denim vest, white jeans and combat boots.
She wore her brunette locks pulled back in a high bun and was seen smiling as she filmed the tender scene.
James reportedly split from single mother Jessica Nock after a brief romance in May this year
At the time, New Idea magazine reported the James called time on the relationship because of his romantic feelings for his ex Jessica Marais.
The actor shares a four-year-old daughter, Scout, with the blonde actress.
But James did not look as though he was letting his complicated personal life impede on his work when he filmed the scene for Home And Away.
He appeared to be in good spirits when he kissed his co-star Isabella.
WOOT - just what i needed to read, sorry for those who wanted her to end up with Brody but no to me the chemistry was so just so intense between them and the sarcastic banter makes them play off each other beautifully.....this is just enough to draw me now back to home & away....awww shucks this makes my weekend complete now.......lol
Home and Away's Morgan family will be fleeing to a safe house later this month, but in true soap style, it doesn't quite live up to its name.
The newcomers are forced to flee after realising that their witness protection cover has already been blown, with their enemies watching Summer Bay closely and preparing to strike.
As the family try their best to settle into life in their temporary hideaway, Mason (Orpheus Pledger) foolishly stays in contact with his love interest Lara - unaware that she's secretly working with the very same people who are targeting his family. D'oh.

News later reaches the Morgans that they'll be moving permanently to Perth, but while everyone else is busy packing, Mason can't resist heading out to meet Lara.
When Mason walks straight into a trap with dangerous Spike and Blaine lying in wait for him, he's forced to reveal the whereabouts of his family and is stunned to realise that Lara has double-crossed him.
With no time to waste, Blaine, Spike and Lara all rush to the cabin to extract some key information that Blaine wants from Justin, taking Mason with them too.
Once they arrive, Blaine is full of questions for Justin about a book that he needs in order to get back in the good graces of 'the syndicate'.
A panicking Justin insists that he has no idea what Blaine is talking about and instead pleads for his siblings' lives, but could his lack of cooperation have deadly consequences as things turn violent?

I like Justin and Brody but haven't taken to Mason yet. He has the potential to be a super annoying character I think.
Pantherboy: how do you feel about the Morgan family having seen a lot more them than us in the UK?
Hi Dazzle. Overall, I have to say I don't mind the Morgans. It is a shame really that they have arrived straight after the Braxton era, with the comparisons between them continuing unabated on many fan sites. For mine, there has been some holes/inconsistencies/unanswered questions in their witness protection storyline (probably just me!), but hopefully when the plane crash "cliffhanger finishesQuote:

I also like Justin & Brody. Unfortunately, they have woven Phoebe into their lives - I am not really a fan of her & Justin together (nor would I be a fan if she were to ever be with Brody!).
Still not sure about Mason. Sometimes he is ok, while at other times, like you say, he can be quite annoying. I hope they don't have him end up with Evie, & they just remain as mates, as they are supposedly now trying to do as per recent episodes.
Thanks Pantherboy! Interesting that my first impressions of the Morgans are similar to your current opinion of them.Quote:

We haven't even met the new Duncan yet!
I quite like Phoebe so don't mind her being intertwined with Justin and Brody.
Apart from Mason (about whom I'm withholding judgement about for the moment), I think the actors who play the Morgans are quite a bit better than those who played the Braxtons, so they immediately score points with me for that reason. :thumbsup:
It seems not, as actor James Stewart has now revealed that another big bombshell will be dropped just days after the show's upcoming plane crash disaster. We can't keep up!
We've already discovered that the Morgan family are in witness protection, while next week's Channel 5 episodes will see James's character Justin forced to admit that the bullet which killed his mother was actually meant for him.
But the drama doesn't stop there. After the Morgan clan's enemy Spike manages to bring down a plane carrying most of the family, Justin turns against their witness protection officer Decker for his poor handling of the case.
In fairness, since the family have constantly been in danger ever since they stepped foot in Summer Bay, he probably has a point. But with Justin on the warpath, Decker turns all enigmatic by claiming that he's done much more for the Morgans than they'll ever know. What could he mean?
"Justin is furious and he wants Decker off their case. He's had enough," James told TV Week.
"Decker has been kind of a dad to Justin. As soon as Justin lost his father, Decker was there."
As for Decker's hint that he knows something big about the Morgans, James confirmed: "There's a bigger secret coming. This one is a doozy. I love this one."
Home and Away's plane crash episodes are airing in Australia this week, but fans in the UK will have to wait until September to see the spectacular stunt scenes unfold.

Just watched the plane crash on daily motion. What a brilliant episode, can't wait for tomorrow's and I love the Morgans(especially Brody). I know others in the uk have not seen much of them, but I think you will grow to like them too.
I already like them. :)Quote:

DailyMail article with more pictures of Justin (James Stewart) & Phoebe (Isabella Giovinazzo) getting cosy on set filming at Palm Beach yesterday:

Home And Away's James Stewart shares a tender moment with co-star Isabella Giovinazzo on set... days after talking about his relationship with ex Jessica Marais
He is Summer Bay's newest heartthrob thanks to his portrayal of Justin Morgan.
And as he continues to settle in with his role, James Stewart appeared relaxed as he shared a tender moment with co-star Isabella Giovinazzo on Sydney's Palm Beach, on Monday.
No doubt filming new scenes for the long-running soap, the actors looked comfortable and at ease with one another as they sat on the sandy shore.
Little is known about the scene, but it appeared as if James' character was comforting his co-star, who plays the vivacious Phoebe Nicholson on the show...........................................etc .
I don't like Mason eitherQuote:

I also noticed Justin's chemistry with Roo. Maybe the H&A team will also have noticed it and will put them together in the future. Roo deserves a bit of fun with a younger lover.Quote:

Aussie fans have also been given early hints that there is something enigmatic going on with their witness protection officer Decker. And the mystery is set to thicken, starting with an unexpected flashback from Brody.
Brody will be rocked by childhood memories of his mum and Decker, prompting him to realise that the officer keeping them safe has a far more important connection to the family.
But when Justin decides to avoid Decker at all costs, trouble kicks off again, according to TV Week.
When Brody demands answers from Decker, however, a surprise twist sees the witness protection worker reveal that he is now a target and is fearing for his own life.
After Decker is later attacked, the Morgans are left with no protection at all, and are fully aware that they could be next. What will they do? And who exactly is Decker?
