The phrase “Remember When… Home And Away Completely Bungled…” refers to a controversial storyline in the Australian soap opera Home and Away, where the show mishandled a significant plot involving the Sutherland twins, Kirsty and Jade. According to a BuzzFeed article, actress Christie Hayes, who played Kirsty, reflected on a bizarre twist in the early 2000s. For four years, Kirsty and Jade were portrayed as fraternal twins with a deep bond, highlighted by dramatic moments like a 2000 mudslide where Kirsty’s telepathic connection helped save Jade. However, in a shocking 2004 reveal, it was disclosed that Jade was not a biological Sutherland due to a hospital mix-up at birth, effectively erasing their twin relationship. Hayes expressed disbelief and sadness, noting the absurdity of undoing years of established history and the emotional impact on the characters’ sisterly bond. Fans on platforms like X echoed this sentiment, calling the twist “dumb” and “over the top,” reflecting widespread disappointment with the storyline’s handling.
