Ularooo! Neighbours memories

[mothmagnet]

Does anyone remember when Lucy sneaked a bit of Ayers Rock home and then a curse befell Ramsay Street? Every time something new happened, she'd wail 'Ularoooo!'

Or wondering what lamingtons were and saying "you dag" to your friends?

My big crush was Paul, even though he only had a couple of facial expressions.

I remember Skye, Kerry's blonde baby, but not the adult. Thanks for the reminder of Dani, I think of the cordial episode every time I over-juice my squash

Issimma, Cody was the wife of the muslim friend who was disapproving to Rosie when she was drunk.

Steph was married to Max wasn't she?
And her sister was that Holly who was in SCD>
Steph got breast cancer and all her hair didn't fell out, though she spent the whole time wearing a headscarf where her long blond locks stuck out. There was another sister too.

This website gives a good low-down on what happened to various characters here

What happened to stingray again? Was it cancer??

Wimba, I only recognised Annalise and Des from that site, now I feel old.

Was Dani Minogue also in neighbours at one point?

I often wondered what happened to Joe Scully, he just disappeared one day for no reason at all, I think he was in the middle of a storyline and it was never explained.
I didn't know he was sacked.

Absofcroissant I have also heard that story about Harold Bishop telling someone 'every time I fuck your mother she gives me a cake', so either it is an urban legend and your friend is lying, or he just says that to everyone!

Loving this thread by the way!

No, Danii M was in Home and Away.

But Guy Pearce was in both!

And back to Brett, he was Darren's younger brother - the electrician who Libby was with. Few years back (his having been her teenage romance)

Ah thanks gettingalife. I never really got into H&A, I think it may have been on the Other Side...

Another fact! Cody Willis's older sister (?) is Lockie Leonard's mum I think.
I love Lockie Leonard.

Didn't Stingray have a heart condition? He hast sat in a chair and died in the street

I loved the few episodes when they replaced Libby Kennedy (actress had a collapsed lung I think). They made a pointed effort for everyone to keep shouting saying "Libby" at least every 20s so that we knew who the hell this stranger was!

Joe Scully disappeared quickly because he got done for being a naughty boy if I remember right. I've got a feeling it was to do with drugs or something so he was just dropped rather than written out.

I think Dannii Minogue was in Home & Away.

Full cast list it's long!

I remember Lucy robinson (the original dark haired child) pretending to be blind and Jason Donovan working it out

and Debbie Robinson being anorexic/bulimic
was she is real life because she was VERY thin?

Oh, the bit when Jane took her glasses off and she was beauuuutiful.

I was in hospital for a long time in 1989 and hallucinated Paul Robinson coming to visit me.

I named my child after a gorgeous neighbours character. When I suggested the name to his dad he assumed I had chosen it because of an old classic rock star. I let him think it. He still thinks it

Jim was in NCIS too for the first 2 seasons.

i get teased at work that i named my children after neighbours characters and one colleague takes great delight in introducing me to new members of staff as such, although most people's first guess is Scot and Charlene!

I'm sure Jim was in an episode of Doctor Who and Ugly Betty. He died of a heart attack in both of them just like in neighbours.

What about Shane - what happened to him? He was Madge's son (I think - or nephew) and had a mullet.

According to IMDB, Alan Dale (Jim Robinson) has been in:

The OC
West Wing
Torchwood
Entourage
The Killing
Californication
Burn Notice
Undercovers
Lost
Law & Order
Ugly Betty
NCIS
24
CSI Miami
ER
The Practise
X-Files
Plus many more I've not heard of

And of course Neighbours

Didn't Joe Mangles wife Kerry get shot by poachers?

My DSis is travelling in Oz this month. She did a tour of the set, the ramsey street houses are dead small apparently.

What were the names of the family who lived in the Kennedy's house before them? And spookily like them? 3 kids, dark-haired mum....

Also, the first Scott suddenly changed in hospital didn't he? Went from a dark-haired teenager to a blond one.

2nd Lucy wore an outrageous wig for a while. What was that for?

Apologies if these have been covered! I have only 'skimmed', reading only posts with characters I recognise.

Daphne and Rab.C.Nesbitt's wife had the same name (Elaine C Smith, I think) and I was never sure if they were the same person! There were sort of similar looking iirc.
