Where's neighbours gone?

[Willabywallaby]

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

If I was Rani, having Susan Kennedy constantly at me, at home, at school and wanting to bring me to school with her would send me over the edge. Eavesdropping on Rani and Callum seemed a bit much too.

Susan is so annoying. Not long ago she was working on Paul's paper. They seem to walk in and out of jobs on Neighbours.

Don't know if its been mentioned but has anyone seen the advert on channel 5 showing that Steph is coming back this week! She had been in prison.
It will be interesting to see how things pick up with Lucas and Toadie from when she left and now that Lucas is with someone else.

I have not been watching much the last week, have just been deleting episodes without watching. I cant stand Lauren and her brood, i cant stand Susan and Karl being back together and the constant crap story lines and the acting is getting worse. I have lost count on the amount of job titles Karl and Georgia must have in that bloody 2 roomed hospital. And while im at it ffs Susan back as head its like they are stuck in the 80's. Sarah being back looking exactly the same as she did years ago with the same hair and like she does not own any other clothes in her life was a struggle to watch too. Im looking forward to Steph reappearing no doubt with the same makeup, hair and clothes on as she had the last time we saw her. I loved Rhys and Tash gutted they are gone

I've seen Steph back in it. Never mind same make up, hair or clothes - she hasn't even got the same face!!

I've seen Steph in the trailers, and I am sure it is the same actress.

its the same actress, she's just changed her hair colour. If you look on youtube there are videos of her conversations with her prison counsellor which are quiet good.

Trailers seem to suggest she is out for revenge. Revenge from what? Driving whilst pissed and killing someone and getting sent down for 3 years? Wasn't that a rather lenient sentence?

I had forgotten aaaaall about steph. What did she even do to get sent down?

Yes it's the same actress but with more plastic in her face than a Tesco carrier bag.

She ran a girl over, can't remember her name! Blonde airhead character that was into fashion. Happened in front of boyfriend. Stef was riding off after an argument with Libby over handing her baby over to it's father.

Trailers hyping it up! She looks like she's has facial work, looks puffy. Darker hair, sinister look, love it .

I too thought Lucas was going to be told he wasn't Patrick's father.

Wasn't it Ringo she killed?

She killed ringo who'd recently married Donna.

And it was Kate she was about to hit, Kate having ambled straight out into the road, and Ringo jumped out and saved her, getting killed in the process. Lots of scenes of Kate "feeling guilty" and as if it was her fault. It bloody was!

Lauren's family must be causing ratings to drop, the acting is painful even by Neighbours standards (possibly apart from Mason) The husband is dire, he only has one tone of voice and facial expression.

Lauren's family are all the "wrong" ages, it is bizarre. Lauren looks a decade older than she should be, as does her daughter. Her son looks about 5 years older than he should be, but is acting the part of someone the age he looks rather than the age he should be.

Clearly Australian prisons offer botox. Steph now looks even more expression-free than she did before.

Is Libby ever coming back? Surely without Libby there is no point in Steph? They just used to swap boyfriends.

YY I don't get Mason and the older woman thing? Unless its an actual plot thing and at some point he will go to therapy to cure it?

Thanks for clarifying motorbike crash, it's all coming back to me...

As far as i can remember Steph and Libby were in a hotel room arguing. Steph had had a couple of drinks and got on her bike. Libby tried to stop her but she sped off.
A group inc Kate and Ringo, where crossing road. Ringo saw, the motorbike was going to hit Kate and jumped to push her out of the way and got killed.
Kate was then a witness, and as i recall Toadie was applying quite a bit of pressure for her to alter her statement. I thought it a bit at the time, a solicitor asking for a witness to commit perjury. But he was basically saying, she's messed up other the baby thing, if you don't lie she'll go to jail too poor Steph.
Eventually she got 3 years, got moved to a more open prison, so Lynn and Charlie moved to be nearer her. I also thought strange that considering his XP was getting sent down, Charlie's dad never showed up (or called). As far as i know he isn't dead, just travelling to find himself or something.

If you watch the YouTube extras videos it tells you where Charlie now is and what steph feels about everything

Will Charlie disappear just like Oscar did?? Remember Lynne coming back to the Street and starting a new life with barely a mention of her son? It got ridiculous.

So will Lynn move back to Erinsborough to be near Steph again then? She still owns Harold's Shop after all.

Love the predicting storylines!

That was the insane court case where the ex-wife of Steph's baby's father popped over from New Zealand especially to prosecute the case? That was a fun one.

Steph is only back for two months so I doubt any family members will turn up - except her real life 21 year-old son who is joining the cast as Brad Willis's son. Unfortunately he will also be playing a teenager so that will be another overgrown teenager to keep Lou's family company.

Doubtlessly he will also have a thing for the irresistible Kate but I assume his function is to land up with Lauren.

Brad Willis has a 21 year old son? Or will he be a 21 year old playing a 12 year old?

Seriously, surely he hasn't been gone long enough to have a 21 year old son? Or have I blanked out a childhood parenting story?
