Where's neighbours gone?

[Willabywallaby]

I thought it was having a fortnight off for Christmas but not on today

I don't think Kate will go - I think she's got more storylines coming up - unfortunately.

Oh - and would Paul, a very wily and savvy businessman, really sign a form without reading any of it at all? I don't think so.

also I am sure Lauren is too young too have all those kids. She seemed to be a teen herself in the 90's and now she looks about 45. She was last seen riding on a horse.

alemci that's my feeling too. She was 18 at the most? when she left on the horse. That'd make her 37 now.
HANG ON if she was 18 when she left, she must have conceived IMMEDIATELY to have an 18yo son.

PS the actress is 39 in real life. She looks much older, thats what sun does to you

That was a horrid false dawn of hope when Kate said she supposed she could get a transfer to go with Sophie. I understand Sophie's reasons for refusing her but I feel she should have made the sacrifice for the common good.

There was room for one more in that cab.

So true!... Why would she not join her brother and sister??

So unfair to leave her with us!

Mind you, if she did, teaching at the school would be left to Susan and Lucas as the only people on the planet, apparently, who can teach those kids.

Lauren left in 1994 so 19 years ago, I think she'd have been about 22 ish given that the similarly aged characters were getting married and she hadn't just left school. Lauren the original had soe good storyline lines like joining a cult and having an affair and getting an STD which made her think she was pregnant. Then she left for Queensland.

Wiki calls it "retroactive continuity" when they do this.

Like Andrew coming back younger then he should have been and the triplets coming back older.

(and Karl sleeping with Sarah and Sonya being Callum's birth mother. I call it "plotholes" myself)

Like Andrew saying he had been doing what his dad wanted all his life on leaving today......when he had, in fact, been 'long lost' for a goodly while before joining the cast!

katz the point is the same - Lauren may be old enough to have an 18yo but if she left 19 yrs ago then she must have conceived immediately after leaving for an 18yr old child to be possible!

Since Brad Willis left just a bit before Lauren did, perhaps they'll do a paternity storyline for Mason when Brad comes back this year?

Paul doesn't have any more unaccounted for children who'll turn up next week does he?

Yes Paul tried an "all your life you've been arguing back to me" type line with Andrew recently, Shipwrecked, and I thought that was a bit much, Andrew was like a year old when he left!

also wasn't he darked haired and Italian looking as a child. wasn't he Chrissie Alessi's child. definitely wasn't blonde and blue eyed with a Scottish/Aussie accent.

Oo montage now that would be a good storyline!

Montage - as Paul has an air steward for a while I'm sure you could 'create' several children! Although they would have to be 30ish now

Apparently they made up a storyline about her moving to Scotland for a while, to try to explain away the actors 'Scottish' accent!

Paul does have another daughter - Amy. Not sure how old she would be, but older than the triplets so maybe in her thirties. I think she was the result of a one night stand.

I didn't mind Andrew's looks, as he looks a bit like Scott (Paul's brother) so it's not out of the question that he would look like that.

why did all three of them pile in the back seat? instead of one sitting in the passenger seat and 2 in the back?

I've just watched it - sophie got in the front and the other two got in the back

Re Vanessa appearing in the lads mag - this storyline was done before, although I can't think who it was, atm

It's was Lucas's last girlfriend the sister to michaels wife, Tasha's aunt. Can't remember her name,

Emilia! That was it. So lucas clearly has a type, then!

Lucas's type seems to be every woman who walks into the square!

I was pleased he finally seems to have 'got the girl' cos he has had shocking bad luck..

Libby, Paul Robinson's spoilt brat daughter, Emilia...

And Steph...

Ooh! Forgot Steph!!
