Tuesday's 8.30 could never miss it. Rewatched it many times on DVD and glad it's still on 7+ for streaming. So much nostalgia and great characters. Still not over Mitch's death though 🥺

Rewatching the early seasons at the moment. Realizing how many big topics it handled at the time; abortion, DV and even murder suicide around custody issues ( does anyone remember Sophie Williams!? Very intense storyline!!), asbestos legal case, sexual assault of both women and men, gambling (Bron!) immigration, de-institutionalisation, Jared's Jewish heritage and naturally with Terri so many conflicting views around the churches stances on things like abuse, the historical issues around the church and forcing young women to give up their children, various religions practices, homosexuality, a couple of transgender characters and more.

For what I kinda viewed as a basic drama as a teenager it's interesting to see the topical storylines it actually presented.

edit; lifeline seems to be working again.

Hi everyone.

Just a note to say, that whilst these services webchats have had very long wait times recently, a couple of services are now just unavailable from the minute you try to connect (no idea why).

Please check in on your friends, family and anyone who may be struggling.

Also please drop any other resources here (particularly more webchat services 👏).

Lifeline & QLife webchats are currently down (but please check, they may come back at any time!) whilst suicideline.org.au has excessive wait times. Yes, I'm waiting and this post is my way of getting through another hard day.

Look out for each other. Check in. Particularly NDIS, disabled people and the people around them are under extreme stress at the moment. Be kind. ❤️
