This report on an Aussie TV website has spurred some UK outlets into jumping the gun and announcing that the show could be facing the axe.

The reality though, is an interesting tale of network politics and how viewing habits have changed. One idea being floated is to move H&A to a later slot (how late is not known) while allowing the show to continue to perform well on Seven's catchup streaming platform. The other option is to remove it from Seven and have episodes premiere on the streaming platform instead before playing out on Seven's digital sister channel the following week.

Either way, it looks like it's interesting times ahead for the last soap standing on Australia's main TV channels. A similar fate befell Neighbours a few years back, when it was moved off the main network to a digital sister channel, a move which doesn't appear to have affected the show greatly as it's still going strong.
