Overview
An Australian soap, it takes place on Ramsay Street, a residential cul-de-sac in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough.
They were really sketchy about a lesbian storyline for ages, and swept same-sex kisses under the rug as ‘not sexual’ and ‘just teenage romance.’ Which as we all know is never sexual.
Still, near the end of the series, they did make a notable change to more positive representations.
After the series was canceled in 2022, it was picked up by Amazon in 2023 for their Freevee network but was canceled again in 2025.
