Leah's gotta have some of the worst luck in the Bay.
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community what storyline from Aussie soap Home and Away made them say "what the fuuuuuuuck". Here are the best responses.
1. The time Casey was handcuffed to a car in the middle of nowhere, but Brax still managed to find him.
"He was handcuffed to a wrecked car in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, and Brax miraculously scoured thousands of kilometres to save him from certain death... OK."
2. Tasha washing up on shore and only being able to speak Pig Latin.

6. Martha and Jack's ridiculously tempestuous relationship.
"The time Martha was married to that cop (Jack), then they got divorced because he was spending too much time at work. Then she was in a helicopter crash out in the bush, presumed dead, but then they got back together. And then she got terminal cancer and had a miscarriage (I think), but then she didn’t die... instead he got shot and died.

7. Selina getting kidnapped by Saul, not once, not twice, but THREE times.

10. The time Dan was sacrificed because Sally basically came back from the dead.
"Johnny Cooper stabbed Sally, and her foster father Tom showed her what life in Summer Bay would be like without her. So she had to choose whether to move on or to stay behind, and she decided to stay behind. She was warned though that if she went back, someone would have to die too. It just so happened that Dan died and then Sally started blaming herself..."

11. Kirsty falling in love with her sister's rapist.
"Can we please talk about Kirsty dating her older sister's rapist and the show painting them as star-crossed lovers because Papa Sutherland was like 'Look, Kirsty, please don't date your sister's rapist?'
Because as a 12-year-old, I was drinking the Kool-Aid but as an adult I'm like 'HAHAHA OH WOW OK, WHAT A HARMFUL MESSAGE'."

16. Vinnie dying about 10 years after he was a relevant character.
"Vinnie went to jail and was 'blown up', but it was a ruse. He went into witness protection, and he died in like early 2010 in a farming accident or something. Leah visited his grave and it was finally done 10 years after the character was relevant."
–Chris Lewis, Facebook
17. John getting a brain tumour and lighting a whole bunch of fires.
"John Palmer getting a brain tumor that apparently caused him to 'black out', but still allowed him to dress in black, steal petrol, and commit arson around the Bay.

Also he basically had day surgery to remove the tumor and then he was 100% fine and everyone in the Bay was cool with it."
