A new version performed by Doug Williams and Erana Clark debuted in 1995 and the opening theme was shortened in 1996; this version remained until 1999. From 2000 to 2003, the theme song to Home and Away was sung by The Robertson Brothers and it was the first version to use only male vocals. A 30-second updated version by The Robertson Brothers was used from 2004 to 2006. In January 2007, a new version was introduced and performed by Israel Cannan, who played the character Wazza in the show.
In early August, a spokesperson for the show confirmed filming had resumed. There have been nine different versions of the theme song used throughout the years. The lyrics remained the same since the show's inception, but a number of verses were gradually cut back over the years due to time restrictions. The original version was sung by Karen Boddington and Mark Williams, and was used from 1988 until mid-1995. Their version was released as a single in the UK in 1989 and peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart.
Storyline
The exterior scenes are filmed mainly at Palm Beach, while the interior scenes are filmed at the Australian Technology Park in Redfern. In 2019, Home and Away returned at the later date of 18 February, after the summer series of cricket concluded. Pippa Doyle of 96FM reported that declining ratings in 2018 and Seven's decision to push the show back had created doubt about its future on the network, and whether or not a timeslot change or a move to a multichannel was likely. The season returned to a series low of 620,000 viewers and ranked 13th for the night. The following night, the viewing figure fell to 581,000 and the show ranked 10th for the night.
Aside from New South Wales, Home and Away has also filmed scenes in other states of Australia. In May 2012, the show filmed scenes at Flinders Ranges and Nilpena Station in South Australia for a storyline in which Casey Braxton was kidnapped and taken to the outback by Kyle Braxton . The following month, Home and Away filmed scenes in Melbourne for the second time. In November 2014, the show filmed an episode at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra with several cast members, as a tribute to the Anzac Centenary. Home and Away has been sold to over eighty countries around the world, making it one of Australia's most successful media exports. In the UK, it and Neighbours, another Australian soap opera, are the most popular of the genre that are filmed internationally, with them both airing on Channel 5.
6:02: Vandegrift 0, DeSoto 0,
Did Vandegrift QB Brayden Buchanan fumble on a sack, or is that an incomplete pass? The UIL uses booth review instant replays in just the state title games, and replay overrules the call on the field of an incomplete pass. The first turnover by Vandegrift has DeSoto set up deep in Viper territory. DeSoto RB Deondrae Riden Jr. makes up for his fumble on the previous possession and bulls in from the 4-yard line. DeSoto offense is in high-octane mode; running a fast tempo, the Eagles have 270 yards of offense and Vandegrift needs to catch its breath on defense.
The Eagles have more than 300 yards of offense, including 73 yards rushing, 66 yards receiving and a TD from Texas RB pledge Tre Wisner and two catches for 48 yards and a TD by Texas WR pledge Johntay Cook. Vandegrift has 133 yards of offense, led by 78 yards rushing and a TD from Alex Witt. DeSoto, a single-high school district just south of Dallas seeking their second state title, are coached by Bartlett native Claude Mathis, one of the top high school players in Austin-area history and a member of the Texas State athletic hall of honor. The Eagles beat Denton Guyer last week and boast a star-studded lineup that includes Texas Longhorn commits Tre Wisner at running back and Johntay Cook II at receiver. During the show's first season in 1988, a rape storyline for the character Carly Morris outraged the public and a protest erupted, as viewers deemed it an inappropriate subject to be covering in an early evening time slot.

After widespread protests and a relentless rise in cases, China this month began dismantling its "zero-COVID" regime. China reported no new COVID deaths for a second consecutive day for Dec. 21, even as funeral parlour workers say demand and waiting time for their services has gone up in the past week, pushing fees higher. Vandegrift has to be satisfied down just 11, considering that DeSoto has moved the ball at will.
While Seven Network executives were unconvinced by the idea, audience research was positive. The soap opera was initially called Refuge, but the name was changed to the "friendlier" title of Home and Away once production began. Home and Away is set in the fictional town of Summer Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, and follows the personal and professional lives of the people living in the area.

Characters in the show live at surrounding neighbouring areas such as the Summer Bay House, Summer Bay Caravan Park, Beach House, The Farmhouse, Pier Flat, and Saxon Avenue. Other fictional towns mentioned and sometimes seen in Home and Away are Mangrove River and Yabbie Creek. In the United States, Home and Away was first shown briefly on the FX cable network from the channel's launch on 1 June 1994 to February 1995. Over two decades later, the show began streaming on the subscription service Hulu on 2 March 2015, beginning with the 2015 season. The service no longer receives new episodes, although the complete twenty-eighth season is currently available.

The show initially focused on the Fletcher family, Pippa and Tom Fletcher and their five foster children Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lynn Davenport and Sally Keating, who would go on to become one of the show's longest-running characters. During the early 2000s, the central storylines focused on the Sutherlands and later, the Hunters.

Brice Sensabaugh scored 19 points to lead five in double figures and Ohio State cruised to a victory over Maine on Wednesday night. Ohio State (8-3), which fell out of the AP Top 25 poll following its overtime loss to North Carolina, shot 69% from the field in the second half and 61% overall against Maine.

Deondrae Riden Jr. answers that Vandegrift TD with his second touchdown of the game, this one from 6 yards out There's a reason the 5-10, 190-pound sophomore has offers from schools such as LSU and Texas A&M; a workhorse with breakaway speed, he has 28 carries for 169 yards. Seven's head of creative drama, Bevan Lee, later confirmed that the censorship allegations were in fact false and that the scene would still go to air as planned. The Fletchers bought the Summer Bay Caravan Park and moved into the Summer Bay House.
A couple of years later, Seven's head of drama, Alan Bateman, became desperate to get back into the soap market and began to work out how to launch another soap that was not a copy of Neighbours. While on a trip to Kangaroo Point, New South Wales with his family, Bateman began talking to locals who were "up in arms" over the construction of a foster home for children from the city. Seeing the degree of conflict the "influx of parentless children on a tight-knit community" was having, Bateman came away with the idea for a new serial.
Texas recruits Tre Wisner and Johntay Cook helped DeSoto to more than 600 yards of offense and give Claude Mathis, a Bartlett native and former LBJ head coach, his first state title as a head coach. On 22 March 2020, Home and Away suspended production over the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it was initially stated that the show would continue filming, the decision was later made to halt production, despite neither the cast or crew testing positive for the virus. Furthermore, on 23 March, the show was removed from Seven's schedule to make way for extended coverage on the pandemic.
