It’s another week and another kidnapping for our much-loved residents of Summer Bay.
You know the drill — when things go awry on Home and Away, sometimes the issue
can only be solved by someone being forcibly taken against their will until things get resolved again.
This time, it’s not Leah being kidnapped. Instead, Dana who dared to question mysterious newcomer Bronte’s illness, has been snatched because she can’t keep her mouth shut about the fact Bronte cannot be trusted and is scamming the Bay, except for some reason everyone believes Bronte is definitely dying and needs money, despite barely knowing her.
Anyway. Dana gets kidnapped by Bronte and an accomplice, and Bronte goes and tells people Dana has gone on a silent retreat as a cover. Undercover detective Xander, who has been dating Dana and finally seems to have woken up, puts two and two together and figures out that Dana doesn’t seem like the silent retreat type.
This leads us to the episodes this week. While Dana is being held in some random shipping container in the middle of nowhere, one eagle-eyed fan pointed out the hostage location looks kind of familiar.
Home and Away fans spot hidden detail in kidnapping storyline
In a Home and Away Facebook fan group, one person pointed out the shipping container had been used before for a Summer Bay kidnapping.
“Must be the same shipping container they used three years ago when Nik, Chloe, Bella, and Ryder got kidnapped by those bad guys after Tane,” the person pointed out.
Further detective work from this investigative journalist (me) drew comparisons to the two shipping containers but it was hard to say if it was indeed the same one — however, given the current state of the rental market, perhaps it got a fresh lick of paint, upped its rent, and continued to be a hot commodity to store people in when you want them to be silent?
The jury is out on my end. Is it the same shipping container? Have your say below!
Home and Away fans slam ‘joke’ of a storyline
Home and Away viewers are getting sick of the sheer volume of kidnap stories, with many venting on a Facebook fan group about the new Dana storyline.
“Not another kidnap story. OMG. I hope it’s a very short kidnap. Home and Away is a joke lately. The same stories [always] redone,” one person complained.
“How many kidnap stories can they do?” another asked.
“One or two kidnaps a week now… at least one murder every couple of months… plenty of assaults, must be a terrible place to live. You wouldn’t be game to leave the house,” a third wrote.
“They are repeating the storylines. How many kidnappings has there been? They need to think up different storylines and bring back the caravan park and high school kids, like it used to be.”
