    Reaction

    Secrets and the City was a let down to fans of the show as they expected more to come from Australia's first DVD of Home and Away. Two episodes which had already aired on TV and the special episode was only a 3 minutes longer than a normal episode. The special features on the release were a great contribution, cast interviews and behind-the-scenes with Bec Cartwright and Beau Brady.
