Caveat: I watched far too much of this show when I was in school.
Flyboy: Abi Tucker was the lead (along with Alex fucking Dimitriades) in HBH for the longest time - they launched the series (after the movie, which starred Claudia Karvan, funnily enough) with the main story of their family-disapproved love, and the lead-up to shagging. Drazig came a couple of series down the track, after Tucker had left, I think, to follow up her music career. (Short story: she was in a band called Damn Nation, they sucked, and lost a contract. End.) By that tiem, it'd pretty much worn itself out, I thought. Anyway - the cast was fairly static for the first couple of series, then it began to have a new-teen-per-week policy, as far as I can remember.
Interesting note: rumoured "I saw Hutchence gasping!" and apparent source of the "Go, Russ, Go!" story, Kym Wilson, also appeared in the show, as a leather-clad rebel teacher. Good god, the Australian TV scene is small.
And no, nobody was as cool as those kids. Especially Con Bordino and his shitbox hairdo. Or Rivers, that big rebel-with-a-heart-and-hair-to-match. Very rock.
Sweet Christ, this is embarrassing. |
