i find hannah very unlikeable

Sorry just my opinions here..

No need to apologise!

I kind of think it's a shame Nate and Kat are breaking up too. They could have worked well as a long term couple (I think we've discussed this before). I don't like the idea of Nate with Hannah though, I think I'd prefer her with Chris (although I'd have to see them together to make my mind up properly).

If Nate and Ricky get together I can't imagine them lasting long. She'll still be grieving for Brax.

I agree, but I think a relationship with Chris could make her likeable.

I agree about Nate & Kat - I really like them together. From recent times especially we know the writer's never seem to let any couples "flourish" long term, so with this being Kat's first relationship since arriving in SB, I suppose it is/was inevitable they would break them up eventually..... & I wouldn't think it will be too long before they pair her with someone else!! It seems to me that putting Ricky back with Nate is just to give her a storyline other than playing mother hen & giving advice to Kyle/Phoebe/Ash etc. You aren't alone SoapsJSK in disliking Ricky/Nate - the thought of them getting back together seems to be really dividing people's opinions (& I think that is what the Producer's are hoping for!!!).

As for Hannah & Chris, at Aust. pace we have seen them "hanging out" for a little while now, but won't see them officially together as a couple for a few weeks. So far IMO it has been awkward & funny, but nice. Chris has been his usual self, but Hannah seems to be a different (better) character all together. Perhaps he will bring out the best in her - definite potential there, as unlikely as it seems, & I hope they let it continue.

Does anyone think that the H&A writers are slacking, I just don't think the characters and storylines are as interesting as previous years, like the eras of Marta, Belle, Romeo, April, Dex, the original Brax brothers, Bianca, Haley and Noah, even fisher, Stephen, Selena, Sally and Pippa! I just find H&A boring these days and I have watched it pretty much since it started as a child. Come on H&A, up your game!

I agree, everything now seems to be about endless love triangles, cheating, or storylines that are just a blatent rehash of previous ones.

So, if Nate and Ricky are going to get together, then what happens with Kat? Does she die? Does she leave? Does she get a transfer? Or does she stay and Nate and Ricky are together? Interesting how this will play out...

Kat will stay. Like you say, it will be interesting to see how it plays out though. After Nate & Ricky confess their feelings, will he break it off with Kat to be with Ricky? I think it is more likely it will be Kat breaking up with Nate - whether it is because she suspects something is going on with him & Ricky, or because she is just jealous of the "connection" those two seem to have (we have already seen her give them some suspicious looks & she also accused him ofbeing at Ricky's beck & call).

SPOILER ALERT! There are rumours around that Kat's ex & possibly also her brother may be coming to SB at some stage. I thought that Ben Mingay's soon to be new character of Trystan might be Charlotte's ex, but it seems that he might actually be Kat's ex. So it looks like there will be some new storylines for Kat coming up!

I liked Hannah when she first arrived. It's all been downhill since she got with Andy, but I agree there is potential for her to become a good character again - especially paired with the entertaining Chris.

From what I've read, a lot of long-term fans (if not the majority) totally agree with you about H&A being a shadow of its former self. For me the rot really started to set in when it became The Braxton Show. I never liked Brax or Heath (nor do I rate the actors), but wouldn't have minded their presence if they hadn't come in and taken over the whole show.

Ash and Andy have replaced Brax and Heath, but at least I find Ash likeable and he's not being portrayed as some kind of modern day saint by the writers (that used to REALLY bug me!). I never forgave Brax for the way he forced the lovely Angelo out of his own restaurant, no matter how much the writers tried to redeem him.

The rest of the show's been no better with its repetitive relationship dramas and bland characters. Plus the older characters have barely had a look-in the past few years. At least that seems to be changing with John and Marilyn having had a lot of screen time recently, Leah with her head trauma, and Alf getting the post-traumatic stress storyline. Also, it sounds like Irene's getting a storyline for once with her new romance.

H&A was my favourite soap for a long time, but I've come close to ditching it in the past couple of years. I just hope things are on the up again.
