Neighbours

[SpanishFly]

Just caught up with three episodes. On Wednesday's, when Chris and Amber were chatting outside the coffee shop/Lassiters, an extra walked past, who looked suspiciously like Scotty...

[SpanishFly]

KATE: "I thought we were in love!"

Um, you've been on two dates.

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Ooh, good! A new thread!!

Was watching it only today, thinking I'd love to gossip raise important issues about it.

Like what about Kate's complete inability to check out the version of events with the man boy she says she loves before ditching him!! I mean, I know a thread about it in 'relationships' would have us howling LTB but even so...that was a heartless cut off!

Also, loved the mass family fessing up time in the police station!

[Suburban]

Oh gosh I just need to raise the issue of BAILEY. He is fast replacing Kate as the most annoying Ramsey Street resident. Although something tells me Steph is soon to give him a run for his money!

[SpanishFly]

I know!! She's IN LOVE with him, yet didn't even want to give him the chance to explain. Even though she clearly loves that he's a bad boy. Jeez.

I also loved the preview for tomorrow's episode, when Lauren basically blames Amber for it all. Finally, a realistic "mum" response to a horrible situation!

[SpanishFly]

And yes, Steph has become horrendous. She's not menacing and sinister, she's just irritating. And she doesn't suit being brunette/auburn

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Phsycho Steph!

Waiting for her to do some actual bunny boiling.

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

'Psycho'

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

On an up note, I have just read that Kip Gamblin is due to join the cast soon

Things are looking up!

[Suburban]

Oh good call. Mason does not cut the mustard.

Does anyone know when Brennan is coming back?

[SpanishFly]

Brad Willis - Lauren's ex. Sparks will fly! !

[Tortoise]

I hope that Mason's ex isn't staying. I can't stand her. Can't remember her name now!

[decaffwithcream]

Brennan is due back during the eclipse, which should be in 2 weeks judging from what Callum said last week when he rang the observatory

Which must be why Kate has so suddenly decided she's in love with Mason so the love triangle can begin.

Bailey is a painful, painful character. They write dire lines for him even by Neighbours standards.

And Amber is obviously only in it so because her acting makes Kate look far better by contrast. I can't stand her "little girl" act much longer.

Kate is finally growing on me purely because Lou's family are so so bad. The father is awful too.

[Tortoise]

Can't wait for Brennans return.

[BeanoNoir]

That's actually the same actress who played Lucy Robinson before, isn't it? How many old characters are they bringing back? I can never remember who knows who from before.

[CecyHall]

We call Bailey 'new Zeke' in this house. I may have said that before though.

[FeijoaVodkaStat]

Forget the dire acting. The new version of the theme song isn't even in tune!

[decaffwithcream]

I don't think Lucy or Brennan are staying long.

There's still Brad Willis to return with his new wife and teenagers. There's a strategy to make it all more about family groupings in the different houses again - presumably that's why poor Lucas and Vanessa have been kicked off the street to make way for a bigger family in their house .

Rumour has it Ajay and Rani might be leaving though. I can definitely live with that.

"new Zeke"

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Yeah, I seem to have missed just why it is thatLucas and Vanessa are not living in their own house. Knew they were in the hospital but surely they left now...so have they moved into Susan's old gaff??? Why put up with a family living in your house, especially when they were going to buy.

It has been bothering me just how empty the houses seem to be these days! They do need to fill up with characters again. There have to be room for about 5 people each house, I reckon.

[SpanishFly]

WHAT IS WITH LUCY'S HAIR??

[decaffwithcream]

When they realised they would be staying in the hospital accomodation for a bit, Lucas and Vanessa essentially offered their house to Lou's family . Because obviously once you have a child, you are dying to move to a much smaller place.

Susan's flat lost a bedroom and has become a one-bed during the transfer process.

They are gradually kicking all the smaller households off Ramsay St...Paul is probably going to land up in Lassiters soon too.

[Suburban]

at the new Zeke!

The Amber/Chris storyline is strange, wonder where it is headed....

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Think it must be because he has no other mates in the street and there need sto be a point to him!

Worryingly, There's a part of me that thinks mason is quite hot the shame!!!

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

Thanks decaf! That does make sense, in a neighbours sort of way

[Tortoise]

I think Amber has fallen for Chris. Strange sudden friendship though.

[CecyHall]

Yeah totally. I wondered though if he would start to like her back, in a 'oh I'm so confused' storyline.
