I was about 10 when this aired on telly in Ireland. I was doing my homework, following along the story as it happened. It was bizarre. I remember Pippa's initial stone cold reaction as though nothing had happened. I didnt understand that she was blocking out shock, grief like that. I obviously had never thought about or dwelled on things like that before and it made no sense at the time. Theres a scene later, when she eventually breaks down. I still think the incidental music we hear as they carry Tom away is very melancholic. Really suits the scene so well.
@Hulk2k6 Even the two actors didn't get married until two years later and not after the death of one of their spouses. The character was written in as a love interest for Pippa before anything began between the actors. Anyway, I always loved this crazy show! 🥰
@@BrianKitching-wv5nh yes he played Grant Mitchell oddly enough can't remember which one came first EastEnders or home and away Grant like the chicken and the egg 😉😅
He did 176 episodes as Grant. Main things about him - he taught Sophie to read, was Carly's husband's best mate, taught at Summer Bay High (history, I think) and was falsely accused of abuse by Emma's classmate Vicky Baxter.
I think they should have thrown Tom in a coma and then taken Dennis Coard (Michael) later as Roger Oakley's (Tom) replacement. It would have ensured "continuity" in the Fletcher household...... The 90's with Tom - even as Dennis Coard would have been better in my own opinion.
Was wondering where pippa was if that was tom. Must be the first pippa since they called her mrs fletcher. She doesn't look like pippa. The second pippa was better

gosh this was traumatic!! really loved tom and Pippa! it was so sad and shocking
I gave up home and away years ago its gone down hill now
I loved the first Pippa.
A sad end to an era. And imagine dying in such skimpy shorts lol
New Zealand. Home and away
Pippa didn’t waste much time finding a replacement. Oh well that's soaps for you! 🤷🏻♀️
Tom was never really forgotten, The writers talked him up a lot more retroactively than Michael, while Sal was still around.
People who lose their partners can’t stay single forever 🙄
@Guitar-qv6gu Yeah, but she was married to Michael the following year. Not exactly realistic. Oh well, we watch for the drama, however far fetched 😁
@@MVK123 It was more to do with them capitalising on the real-life attraction between Debra and Dennis.

Home is shit now I miss the old days of home and away the school was my favourite part that don’t happen no more now 😢😢

I've driven down that road once.
its very fun and very dangerous!
When are you going to upload more videos
I'm dying to watch them
The full episode of home and away the early years are available to watch on dailymotion online.
There are many clips to watch on my channel as well as on my old back-up channel. I usually upload a new clip once a week.
@@Joecarer are you sure
@@Joecarer And do they have 1998 episode there
@@godjenta66 I'm not being rude but is it ready
Very similar to Ken's death a few years later and Gina's
Similar to Ken's because Pippa was looking forward to romantic time with Tom and Irene was about to marry Ken
No sound in the video
I have sound.
Is your sound turned off
@@lewiskent550 I haven't turned it off. If so, RUclips has done it. There was sound yesterday. I have sound now.
@@godjenta66 as in did he or she turn the sound of on their device
And I can't wait to see more of your videos
Please post some episodes with josh webb in it
How many episodes did Craig Mc Loughlin do of Home And Away?
He did 176 episodes as Grant. Main things about him - he taught Sophie to read, was Carly's husband's best mate, taught at Summer Bay High (history, I think) and was falsely accused of abuse by Emma's classmate Vicky Baxter.
what happened to sophie and bobby they didn't get in the car with alf or alisa. i'm confused
They went on a 3 day bender drinking drugs and sex before stumbling in Pippa’s doorway like nothing happened.
They got in the car with Ben when Ben and Grant came there and they went to the hospital for a checkup...
Never knew Craig Mc Loughlin had been in Home And Away
He was a teacher in the show
Yep, Poached from Neighbours, He had gotten tired of playing Henry. They dangled the carrot; he came over but he wasn't the hit they'd hoped he'd be.
Why did Bobby act like she was 50 or something? 🙄
Forced to grow up. Abusive Adoptive Dad, seen as a no-hoper by most of the town bar a few locals before the Fletchers took her in.
His joke wasn't that bad still caused poor Tom to keel over though 😂 no very sad Michael's death was a bit sadder though
When will you upload the thing
I haven't made the clip yet. It will be up in a while. You asking every day is just annoying.
@@godjenta66 ok / sorry
@@godjenta66 Can you upload it before the 10th January please
@@lewiskent550 No. I haven't made it yet. Stop asking all the time.
@@lewiskent550 you're not sorry you keep asking stop it. Have some damn respect it wil be up when it's up be quiet
Tonsil hockey lol
Death by speedos🙄
Was Tom Pippa's husband?
Yes. First Husband, adopted Sally with him.
This version of Pippa kind of looks like Yoda from Star Wars
I think they should have thrown Tom in a coma and then taken Dennis Coard (Michael) later as Roger Oakley's (Tom) replacement. It would have ensured "continuity" in the Fletcher household...... The 90's with Tom - even as Dennis Coard would have been better in my own opinion.
When I first watched the early 80's "Home and Away" on repeats in the late 90's I thought Tom was Michael as a different actor.
Back in it's hey day up until 2017 stopped watching since because that drama and realism and what use to be a family show is no longer there.
@@joshuajoshua2732 Same here.

God the acting was so bad 💀
No way... As good as it gets I think... What's bad about it?
