[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 200743, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 233-240[/SIZE][/U] While there’s no danger (thankfully) of entering[I] Number 96 [/I]territory, [I]Home and Away[/I] has popped its cherry with the first glimpses of nudity. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the nakedness in question was that of a new character who’s not a regular. In his second episode, Nick went skinny dipping as he’d forgotten his swimsuit, only for Philip, jealous after Nick’s betrothal to Stacey, to steal his clothes.

In a nice touch, their walk along the beach began with a conversation that gave us a window into their childhood: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/NIHt8H.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/60JYIE.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/OdSuVh.jpg[/IMG] Naturally, he is rounded up by Celia and her shooting stick offscreen (presumably in order to keep it age appropriate). Thirty years ago, the brief and distant flash of male buttock as Nick dived into the wave seemed quite daring to me. It's not, really.
