Who do you love (and hate), and who do you miss?

ATM, I like Kyle, always loved Susan and Karl, Paul...
Hate - Kate, Sonya, Kate, Sophie, Kate, Tash, Kate, Lyn, Kate...

I miss - the original Declan, Donna, Zeke (has he left for good?)

I feel like there arent many BIG characters at the moment, most of them are all sort of "fillers". Hopefully someone big will come into it soon

Loved Izzy Hoyland, Joe Mangle, Daphne, Mike, Scott, Charlene, plain Jane super brain....

Can't stand all the blaaaand characters these days. Also can't stand the sentimental schmaltz with Karl and Susan these days. He needs to have another affair, I'm bored with the cosy domestics.

Ooh, I love a good Neighbours thread!

I used to love Kylie when she was Charlene in Neighbours. I used to pretend to be her! Blush I was about 4 or 5 at the time.

Yy to hating Julie, Debbie and Hannah Martin! I couldn't stand Dani either!

Does anyone remember Dieter Brummer (Troy, Sonya's ex) as Shane in Home & Away?

I remember the African episode. it was quite good in a way. I agree all the soap kids are irritating. they are so bratty. can't stand Kate's sister Sally either.

I liked Connor. I also liked Carmella and her dodgy gangster dad and her brief time as a nun!! Quite bizarre. At the moment my favourite is probably Kyle.

I hate Kate, Summer, Andrew and Tash. The current batch of teenagers are annoying. I remember Hannah used to really annoy me when she was in it. I like old Declan but not the new Declan, glad he went out of it. Brainy Ben was annoying, as is Charlie. Are any soap kids not annoying? I have to say worst character of all time has to be Didge for me. Good god she was annoying and whiny.

I have annoyed myself with the amount of times I've written annoying!!

I remember Dannii and her brother Brett. I seem to remember an episode where for some unknown reason Brett went to Africa with Susan Kennedy. Anyone else remember that?

Yes Darren starkey was their brother. Lucas played the original Darren but he left for heartbreak high so they got in another actor to play darren with Libby in teenage years and he returned for a while when Libby and Ben went off to live with him and again when they came back to Erinsborough for a hoilday after he had an affair and then Libby left him.

Drew fell off a horse and died - it was a bit anticlimatic.

Yes Drew was his name.
He was gorgeous, and died very tragically but I can't remember how.
I used to love Neighbours, I never watch it now.

Oh, this is bringing back memories of Neighbours in olden times.
Mrs. Mangel and Joe Mangel.
Daphne who married Des, and had her baby outside somewhere without taking her tights off.
Henry was Charlene's brother wasn't he.
And Libbie's first husband who was killed but I can't remember his name, he was very good looking.
