Line 11:

=== This show has examples of: ===
* [[Back for
** Averted with Floss [[Mc Phee]] in 2004 when she thought she was dying but was revealed not ot be.
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: April and Bianca have had them, with Bianca speaking Italian and April speaking French.
Line 17:
* [[Become a Real Boy]]: Miles, after twenty years of being the seemingly imaginary Milco.
* [[Bus Crash]]: Beth Hunter, Dan Baker.
* [[Child
** Also Shauna, who was conceived as a result of Ailsa being raped by a prison guard, and Ella, whose mother Tasha was drugged and raped by at least one member of a cult.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Rob Storey.
Line 62:
** The lone subversion? Ruby Buckton.
* [[Mistaken for Junkie]]: With insulin. And, to a lesser extent, pills for cancer. To be fair to this one, Belle was an addict.
* [[Never Say "Die"|Never Say Rape]]: ''Home and Away'' has done a number of well-remembered rape storylines over the years (Carly, Chloe and Dani in particular) but the word "rape" was never used onscreen, replaced by "assault", "attack", and in one infamous case, "forced her to have a baby with him." (Granted, the pregnancy was the whole point of the rape, but still). This was finally averted after Joey was raped in 2009, with further aversions in the storylines involving Charlie later that year, and Bianca in 2011. However, the word was used early in 2007, in the context of rohypnol being a date rape drug.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: mainly Flynn, Rebecca, Pippa and Hayley. This show is, like just about all British soaps, notable for a conspicuous ''lack'' of Other Darrins.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Not played entirely straight. There have been two Bretts, two Jacks, two Joeys and two Rubys. The only ones to appear together were the Rubys: regular Ruby Buckton and guest character Ruby Leeds..
* [[Pac-Man Fever]]: A boy was recently shown playing on [[Play Station Portable|PSP]] that when turned on made the start up sound of an original [[Game Boy]]
* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Zoe McCallister, the Summer Bay stalker.
* [[Put
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: Mitzy predicted Marilyn would die. {{spoiler|She did, but only for a few minutes.}}
* [[Recycled Script]]: And, how.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Martin Bartlett first appeared in 2008 but he's apparently been around offscreen since Kirsty's school days.
* [[Repetitive Name]]: Robert Robertson.
* Retirony: Played straight with {{spoiler|Charlie}} in the 2011 season finale.
Line 78:
* [[Scandalgate]]: One storyline from 2005 centered around the paternity of Hayley Lawson's baby became unpopular with the fans, who were aware that Scott was the father from the beginning (the test results had been switched by the vengeful ex-girlfriend of the other prospective father, Kim) but were forced to sit through months of near misses with at least three other characters finding out but being prevented from revealing it for various reasons. The story is now dubbed "Paternitygate" on the Backtothebay message board.
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: Rabbit told Miles he was going to die if he fell asleep. Miles spends several days not sleeping, eventually collapsing from exhaustion on his desk - right under a ceiling fan that's hanging by a thread. Fortunately, Gina wakes him up just in time.
* [[Shipper
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: Martha, Duncan, VJ and Lily. Otherwise averted -- note remark about "growing up with Sally".
* [[Spear Carrier]]: Nurse Julie and Constable Watson.
* [[Suddenly Sexuality]]: Charlie was briefly in love with Joey before the latter girl left, at which point she went straight back to Angelo.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Miles, being a teacher who not only fosters kids, but also runs a caravan park, is obviously this to his sister Sally. Of course, he was probably set up as that so Sally fans wouldn't miss her too much. Over time he's [[Character Development|developed]] into an [[Cloudcuckoolander|oddball]] [[Deadpan Snarker]]..
* [[Title
* [[Why Won't You Die?]]: Sally Fletcher in both stabbings by Rocco and Johnny Cooper in the space of a year.
