Just watching and Shock

How can Kate forgive Jade so easily for sleeping with her ex boyf the hunky policeman?

I mean how could you have someone so disloyal as your "best friend"?

How could you ever trust them again?

I admit I have missed a few episodes running up to this one so didn't even know Jade and policeman had slept together... so maybe I missed some plot thread that makes this make sense.

But at the moment I am thinking don't do it Kate, she's soooo not worth it.

Shame though, as I liked Jade as a character.

Well I think he has been married three times inc Rebecca, daughter Elle in NYC now and had twin boys, one went mental and the other got run over, can't remember his wives names sorry! And Andrew of course!

lazarusb · 17/06/2011 19:57

He was married to one of those twins....Gayle? I think, but he slept with her sister IIRC.

katz · 17/06/2011 21:29

i heard a rumour that Mal the other Kennedy child is returning for a guest appearance!

Paul has been married 4 times i think the mad one, Gail, Chrissie and then Rebecca

katz · 17/06/2011 21:31

actually 5 times as he married Lyn Scully too, the first wife was called Terri!

MaxSchreck · 18/06/2011 18:59

I'd love to re-watch Neighbours from the beginning.

How sad of me.

I suppose Rebecca was the equivalent of Vanessa in Eastenders who wears a white suit to do the washing up. Rebecca did her housework in a wrap dress and high heels.

also wasn't Andrew Chrissie Alessi's child. He had brown eyes and brown hair.

vmcd28 · 20/06/2011 11:30

Yep, paul was married to
Rebecca (no kids from that marriage)
Lyn (no kids)
Gayle (kids - elle, cameron and Robert)
Christina (son, Andrew )

I seem to remember he has a daughter called Amy, but I've no idea who is her mum - possibly Terri?

Re Andrew's accent, the Neighbours casting people loved him, and were desperate for him to play the character of Andrew that they changed the character's back story to include Andrew having lived in Scotland with his mum, just to explain why he has a mixed accent. :)

Kate is such an irritating character that they could put her through the worst storylines ever and I would ask for more. She annoys me that much.

I don't get how all the guys fancy her either. Not only is she really unattractive but she's also self-righteous and annoying. Remember how she used to barge in Declan's house and demand to know what was going on with him after she'd dumped him and repeatedly asked him to leave her alone?

She was also really horrible to Harry after she found out he fancied a girl she didn't approve of.

lazarusb · 20/06/2011 16:31

Kate has a rule - you go out with her, she can tell you what to do for the rest of your life afterwards. Hmm She is self-righteous, but she really has no right to be - she lied to the police and broke the law!

FriskyMare · 20/06/2011 16:45

So is Andrews accent real??It's almost like he forgets where he's meant to be from then suddenly remembers (like a limp switching legs iyswim)

katz · 20/06/2011 17:43

Amy's mum was a fellow air steward he had a fling with.

LilBB · 21/06/2011 13:04

Why is Jade her best friend anyway? They've known each other two mins. It annoyed me when she went off at the policeman. Since when has perjury and your ex sleeping with your friend been equally bad. I think the wardrobe people hate Kate too as they dress her in the most terrible outfits.

What has happened to her teaching/dancing careers? She seems to always be in Harolds. Although when she danced it was a bit cringey.

vmcd28 · 21/06/2011 15:36

LilBB, I loved when Kate danced. It was so hilarious. She could do three steps (woodenly), and then just repeated them, yet she kept being praised as being a big star. Brilliant.

Donna was best friends with Bridget/Didge, then suddenly she was BFF with Kate. But when she left for NYC, Kate was up for grabs. Jade clearly needed a best friend like Kate, and jumped at the chance. She could see the potential for fun/laughter/letting her hair down and borrowing stylish clothes. :)

lazarusb · 21/06/2011 19:34

Those green shorts she was wearing the other day - OMG! No wonder Brennan went for Jade, even if she is always in her fitness gear Smile

vmcd28 · 21/06/2011 19:57

Ha, I know! If ayone else had worn shorts theyd have looked sexy. Not Kate, she looked 10.

lazarusb · 21/06/2011 19:59

They were totally asexual. Hideous is not the word Shock

TartyMcFarty · 21/06/2011 21:38

Ha! Love that the Neighbours threads always involve women's going Hmm at Andrew's accent :)

vmcd28 · 21/06/2011 22:19

Aw, I love andrew's accent. :)
If Neighbours was on later in the evening I'd have a slammer every time he said something in a Scottish accent.

katz · 23/06/2011 20:50

gotta love neighbours for the teen doesn't want to move with the family, neighbour agrees to take her in storyline!

CitrusZest · 23/06/2011 22:57

What happened to Libby's son Ben?

Shoesytwoesy · 23/06/2011 22:59

he suddenly grew a brain and went of to boarding school for g&t kids,
remember summer, she suddenly one day became a child genius with the piano and went to boarding school.
where is her dad, he never gets a mention,

CitrusZest · 23/06/2011 23:22

Also never mentioned are Andrew's Mum, Charlie's Dad, Any of Lynne's children - apart from Steph. Where's baby Oscar?
I love that you can miss Neighbours for a few weeks and come back to entirely different characters, new faces and dramatic storylines from nowhere!

pawsnclaws · 24/06/2011 07:18

Those green shorts! And almost as bad was the purple polyester tent thing she was wearing the other day .......

Shoesytwoesy · 24/06/2011 08:52

ok how come..... bendigo is supposed to be miles away, as everything is in OZ, so they have a party, spend hours trying to get Summer to leave, then Susan tells Lynn she better go or she won't get there before it is dark, do they have massively long days in OZ?
