Thanks Dazzle. It will be interesting to see what the Show says if/when an official statement is made!

An article on Dan Bennett's resignation:

"Dan Bennett Quits

Just a mere six months after returning to the long-running series, Dan Bennett has announced that he has quit his job as Series Script Executive of Home and Away.

The writer, who has been responsible for the Summer Bay Stalker and Charlotte King storylines during his tenures, took to Twitter on New Years Day to confirm that he has left his executive post on the Channel 7 soap.

"@DanMBennett. Happy new year. For me, 2016 is about new challenges. I've quit my job, intend to travel the world... Wishing everyone YOUR joy. Peace.


11:40 AM - 1 Jan 2016"


The news comes just days after rumours emerged of a shock storyline that would see up to 6 main characters written out of the series. The claims, made by Australian magazine Woman’s Day, were quickly dismissed by Mr Bennett as “lies” and “complete bullsh*t”.

It is currently unknown as to who will fill the capacity of Series Script Executive.

BTTB would like to wish Dan Bennett good luck with everything the future holds."

It's a shame Dan's quit because I've been enjoying H&A more recently than since the Braxtons arrived. I wonder if this means the storyline which will reportedly kill off up to six residents of Summer Bay is happening after all?

I hope not. I still think it will just be a big turnover of personnel during the year, rather than a one-off mass exodus, but you have to wonder now with his sudden & unexpected departure. Even though he will be long gone by then, Dan will look a bit of a goose if it does turn out to be true, given his staunch denials! It will be interesting over the next few months looking at the spoilers/articles/pictures for signs of what is really coming up! I have read some people say they think a massacre storyline would be good i.e. for the suspense & as a clean out to basically start afresh. Personally, I think it would be excessive & would smack of desperation.

I don't understand this logic "one of my biggest storylines got spoiled, brb gonna rage quit my job" 10/10

If he was responsible for the constant partner swapping and everyone sleeping around with everyone else storylines, then good riddance...
6 characters fired...hopefully starting with Ash, Josh, Andy, Maddy...
