Stories concerning the upcoming kiss between Charlie Buckton (played by Esther Anderson) and Joey Collins (Kate Bell) on Seven’s ‘Home and Away’ were dominating media outlets today, with several sources claiming that conservative lobby groups had forced the network into cutting the kiss between the two female characters.

According to ‘Home and Away’ fan site, BacktotheBay.net, these rumours are completely false. The fan site citing a source on the show had contacted them directly to set the record straight.

“The articles are completely unfounded and that the kiss will be airing on Tuesday night as originally planned.”

This wouldn’t be the first time that a same sex relationship had been portrayed on Australian television.

Network Ten’s soap ‘Neighbours’ shared a similar storyline between Stephanie McIntosh’s character Sky and Lana (Bridget Neval) in 2004.

‘Home and Away’ even featured an on screen kiss between two female characters last month with Nicole (Tessa James) and Freya (Sophie Hensser).
