"began taking ice acting on Home ..." - there is innocent me thinking what is 'ice acting', did he want to become a figure skater
I think I remember at the time that they wanted to age up the character so there could be more of the older teenage set/romances etcI was just thinking about the child actor who played VJ for a number of years.
There wasn't any announcement that he was being replaced; he didn't even go away anywhere and magically appear as an older version of himself sometime later ... instead, he was there one day, gone the next:

It was especially silly as his mate Jett was a similar age and build and if my memory serves me correct, was still on the show:

Later it was reported that the producers wanted him to look older. But maybe it was really to do with this?

This is what he has become:
He wouldn't be the only actor to have become involved with drugs:

The older actor who played VJ (Matt Little) was brother-in-law to the guy who played Heath Braxton (no longer, as that marriage broke up). He doesn't seem to have done a lot since he left H&A ... his IG is profile, but a link there diverts to a fundraising page for an all-female production - maybe he's taken on a role behind the camera now?
The character of VJ wasn't the only one replaced - there have been a lot more - it's the most head-scratching one in my view though:
Home and Away stars who were recast
Some of these swaps were more controversial than others...www.newidea.com.au
I'd say she's only done over a year. I found her really annoying at the start when she used to crash Cash and Jasmine's dates all the time.Flick continues to annoy me. I hope she leaves when her three years is up ... surely it's close?
I find her quite annoying. She’s probably supposed to be age 27-30 I’d guess, she acts like a spoilt 14 year old. Needy with her brother, to the point it’s weird. Flips so far between opinions, like doesn’t was her brother to be with Eden to the point everyone falls out about it, then goes mad trying to force them together switching her hen do about.Flick continues to annoy me.

So true about Theo, thought he'd bring a bit mischief to the Bay, for a while at least. I wouldn't put him and Kirby together either, it's like the writers saw two single characters and said OK throw them together. Can't remember any real chemistry build up between them either. And he seems so young compared to the rest of the band, doesn't fit in that well. Bob, although I hated him, suited the band more.I find her quite annoying.

Whatever the break down she had about her dad’s suicide annoyed me. I could understand if it was present day, but it when she was 8, so probably 20 years ago. The nonsense about hating Gary, 2 episodes later, loves Gary asks him to give her away at the wedding. Just annoying.
I find the band, plus Bree quite tedious. And don’t understand the personality change they’ve forced on Theo. From being confident, naughty rich boy with his sports car, to needy puppy dog moping after Kirby
Hmm, he seems worried to see Rose in her police uniform. They spent an evening having a drink (dinner?) together but the subject of what you do for a living didn’t come up? They seem to be making a big deal of him meeting everyone and introducing himself, and telling everyone he’s from a big family.I like the new guy, Dean's mate. Nice uncomplicated character (so far - I'm sure he has a deep dark secret past that'll all come pouring out too!)
Yeah all you need to do is spend a few months in Summer Bay and all past mistakes are forgotten. Also, any word on Bree having to go to court for killing the husband? Even as self defence you think there'd be more talk about it. But no, off back to work like nothing happened!I think he's hiding a dodgy criminal past that will initially create a problem but he'll eventually be redeemed like every other similar storyline is past history. His character has promise though.
I think this whenever John judges people really hard, Paratas when they turned up, the band, like he wasn’t a mad arsonist for a short time and apparently cost some people (extras) their homes.Yeah all you need to do is spend a few months in Summer Bay and all past mistakes are forgotten.
Yeah John was very abusive to his stepson too, Trey (no mention of him in years!)I think this whenever John judges people really hard, Paratas when they turned up, the band, like he wasn’t a mad arsonist for a short time and apparently cost some people (extras) their homes.
Alf wanted to make sure Marley wasn’t a River Boy, but went about it really oddly. And ended in saying he’d be happy to go fishing with this Marley’s dad/grandad one day, even though they’ve never met.
I'm beginning to struggle with Felicity.Anytime Felicity is in a scene, all I see are limbs all over the place. Hands everywhere, exaggerated walk, head practically doing 360.
