Where's neighbours gone?

[Willabywallaby]

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

Another Neighbours rewrite... Remember when Susan lived in the flat, and someone (Vanessa?) moved in for a few days, but had to sleep on the settee because someone else was using the "spare room"? But now, suddenly, it's a one-bedroomed flat

YY Susan's sister Carmel stayed there! Must've shrunk since then. Why don't they just live in their own house instead of rent it out to people they hardly know?! Who does that?

Ghost Priya is really creeping me out.

Think that's priyas contract up finally yay

Is priya only the second ever neighbours ghost?

who was the first?

Priya is really freaky.

Also that flat seems to be the only one in existence. so many have lived there and I thought it had more than one bedroom. wait til they've got all the baby stuff in there.

mind you in soaps most places are like a tardis and there is never ever any clutter or mess.

Todd appeared to phoebe

Didn't Drew appear as a ghost? Or was he just in a dream?

Yes, Priya stayed with Susan when her affair was discovered and Carmel moved to Karl's as she had given up the spare room to Priya. We even saw the room. Have Lucas and Vanessa failed to open one of the doors. Will they continue to live there, failing to notice an extra door?

Ghost Todd was great, he appeared in a full -length mirror IIRC.

I am personally hoping that Ajay and Rani go off to start a new life when the Willis family come. There isn't a vacant house for the Willises to have otherwise is there?

I have a scary feeling Kate's going to jump Ajay

I did think that yesterday Gibber. She looked like she was going to pounce.

I thought the same, about Kate. Good lord she is horrendous.

Can I just put forward that I think Bossy is a bloody great little actress? Maybe the best on the set. I really do think they should give her more screen time and less to Kate

I hate Kate

And are we really supposed to believe that Rhiannon loves Mason so much that she abandoned her child in Mount Isa for him, even though he clearly hadn't been in contact with her for months?

Kate likes widowers! She was with Declan after Bridget died. And yes I thought she was getting a bit close to Ajay as well!

She is one of those that likes the drama of being the only person someone needs after a tragedy.

In fact, maybe she is just a drama lover. She is pretty much over Kyle now that Jade isn't in the picture anymore, isn't she?

I thought they were setting her up for Mason. Her other type is teenagers! I suppose Declan was her ideal man being both a widower and a teenager!

Yes, and teenage widowers are few and far between, so Ajay's youthful looks are probably quite a draw.

When is Mark Brennan returning to take up her attentions again?

Presumably as soon as she hooks up with someone else

I think Rhiannon needs to.maim Kate with her magnificent gnashers.

And Mason's hair needs a storyline of its own. Perhaps getting shaved off in support of Lucas's cancer fight and then heading out in search of love. And setting up home on Paul's false leg.

This is true SpanishFly, she needs to get established with Mason and viola, Brennan will appear, wandering immediately past wherever she and Mason are openly snogging.

I think Lucas and Vanessa will be staying off-street, (in the flat with the mysteriously disappearing bedroom), as in the new arrangement of the opening titles, everyone else is clustered outside their houses, street party style except for them.

They appear walking up the middle of the road, Vanessa has the buggy handle in one hand and is balancing a plate of cupcakes in the other

Awww damnit, I forgot how bloody obsessed Vanessa is with cooking. Every. Single. Sentence. Includes a reference to cooking.

But will cupcakes cure testicular cancer? Probably not next week, but the week after, along with Karl's new oncology skills Lucas will be cured!

Karl already has oncology skills - don't forget his treatment of Jim Dolan.

Although Jim was not saved by Dr Karl's healing hands, I don't think Lucas should be worried. Karl wanted Jim out of the way, so obviously didn't bother to make too much effort with him.

And Steph sure he diagnosed her cancer twice. Although she was treated by someone else.

I wonder if Steph's cancer has been forgotten or if she will be empathising with Lucas and getting closer to him that way?
