Neighbours- from ridiculous to ridiculouser?

OK after the whole Steph storyline, we now get Declan, a nineteen year old waiter, potentially in charge of the Lassiter empire?

This is just too much even for Neighbours.

It's all wonderful toss

Didn't think he was just a waiter, thought he wasnt something bigger than that?

He only premoted Declan to get back into Rebeccas good books.

I know but if it's supposed to be a huge corporation and a high end 60 star luxury hotel, is there any way in hell a kid with no experience would be allowed anywhere near it?

Declan is at the moment a bellboy. He was a sort of event organiser assistant at one point but was then demoted.
And he's worked there for a year or so.

I was at my last company for three years. Why wasn't I made general manager????

I've decided to wean myself off stop watching neighbours as it just gets worse. In a quiet friendly street where all the children play nicely together all the time why did Ben need to be escorted to Callum's party? And how come people can become qualified teachers/journalists/ whatever overnight? Just complete nonsense!

Hai1988 · 02/10/2010 14:07

tbh I dont really care if it is not always realistic, as long as its entertaining.

The calums party debalce was ridiculous! It was a 13th birthday party, not a 5 year olds! He needed 3 adults to take him 2 doors down? Why didn't they just send him across with Zeke and a crappy present? How old is the annoying Ben anyway? He seems to be permanently about 6- maybe thats why...

elah10 · 02/10/2010 22:13

And wasnt Kate in school herself only a few minutes ago???? How is she a teacher now Hmm

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:15

what happened to Stephs old house? and how did they magic up a new one up for the head and his devil daughter

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:16

oh and why are 17 year olds so shocked about someone being gay??

Rossco · 02/10/2010 22:18

The head lives in Stephs old house.

Was it just me that found the big 'reveal' of the Steph/Toadie story a bit of a let down? All that build up and then it was over in a blink.

I love what DH terms the 'Aussie Crap'.

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:19

he can't do, his is a house and hers was a bungalow

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:21

ok your right just googeld it

jetgirl · 02/10/2010 22:23

2shoes - Michael, the head, has bought steph's old house. I missed the birthday party, but I guess ben was escorted because libby didn't actually want ben to go. Who took him anyway, and did anything ridiculous happen.
I don't get the declan thing either, how are other senior staff not resigning in their droves in protest?
Is kate a teacher or doing teacher training? I only get to see it twice a week, very disappointing!

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:33

she is doing teacher training???
but she will be a fully fledged teacher soon no doubt

jetgirl · 02/10/2010 22:48

Headteacher soon probably!

2shoes · 02/10/2010 22:49

of course I forgot you can run anything without training, so ringo will be in charge of an ambulance soon

Marjee · 03/10/2010 10:56

Jetgirl, the party episode was so silly! At one point they were all playing in the street right outside the kennedy's house and Ben was looking out all forlorn at not being allowed to join in. Then Susan, Karl and Libby all took him to Toadie's when the party moved there despite Libby not wanting to see Toadie and Ben normally being allowed to roam the street alone. Then there was a big argument between Sonya and Libby, Callum accused Libby of ruining his party so she flounced off home. Am I the only one who finds Libby so annoying atm?!
Also is Karl the only doctor in Erinsboro? He seems to be a specialist in everything too!

MilkNoSugarPlease · 03/10/2010 23:50

HATE Libby right now!!

but love Neighbours :o

MilkNoSugarPlease · 03/10/2010 23:54

Wait, how the hell is Callum 13 ?!

mogs0 · 04/10/2010 23:19

Is this Declan staying? It took me absolutely ages to warm to the old one and then they go and change him Hmm. I really don't like the new one Sad.

I haven't liked Libby much for a while now either.

Does Steph come back? Has she gone to Bendigo to stay with her Dad?

Indith · 05/10/2010 13:25

I love how Declan's character has changed with his head. Old Declan with cheeky grin was lovely, thoughtful daddy. New Delan with sulky head is a cross between a sulking teenager and a mini Paul. Tis great Grin

LetLoveRule · 05/10/2010 14:15

ooh, Paul is going to be murdered next week - just saw trailer!!

Indith · 05/10/2010 15:40

I'm not so sure, the add said "murder?" with the question mark. Plus the Aus website has a poll going with "Paul remembers, should Rebecca stay with him?"

Wish someone would kill him though.

LetLoveRule · 05/10/2010 15:51

Ah, maybe that's it! I'm pleased he's not going though - brill character.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 05/10/2010 15:55

Do youu remember that when Paul first reappeared, he killed someone? It has never been mentioned since.
