Neighbours [Warning - Contains SPOILERS]

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Just read something about who is in the frame for killing Kate (deserves a medal for that!) and was annoyed to find the thread full and not accepting messages. Then saw that it was me who finished it. Whoops!

Anyway, there are some people on Digital Spy suggesting it could be revenge for something Paul did in the past! Anyone remember the fire?

Loving brooding Paul at the mo, but thoroughly distressed that Libby is back! Used to find her v annoying.

I love Paul!

Very shocked at the incredibly tall Ben! He has grown about 2 feet and aged 10 years since he was last on. Delighted he isn't the annoying previous hopeless actor though.

I found out this week that the actor who plays Kyle has been in a relationship with the girl who plays Amber pretty much since she joined the cast. Amber annoys me so much that this too has really pissed me off!

Really behind on neighbours tho at the mo. Who did kill Kate? Is it officially known yet? Any why has Libby come back, so annoying as we have just got rid of Kate.

Has anyone else noticed Libby's top lip? I think she's been on the botox

Kyle and Amber? Yuck. That has put me off Kyle.

Libby has come back as part of the 20th anniversary of the Kennedys joining the show I think. I noticed her lip too. She is also a spectacularly crap actress.

I am a very easily pleased soap fan - I was totally delighted when Daniel talked about his fun-loving uncle Henry today.

Me too...hope Henry makes a guest appearance but unlikely.

I was thinking about Imogen & how waiflike she looked when she first appeared. The clothes that she is currently wearing are seriously unflattering in cut & have buttons & seams straining...are they deliberately putting her in too small clothes to emphasize that she is no longer bulimic? I can't work out why they are making her look so different to previously.

Back to guest apoearances; I would love to see Joe Mangel!

yes Imogen has filled out and she used to look waif like especially when stood next to Amber. she looks a bit dumpy now.

do people wander into other people's houses without knocking? Paige in Lauren's

Can anyone remember whether or not there was a reason for Kym Valentines sudden departure last time? I'm sure there was a bit of a scandal...

Maybe that's why Libby looks so unbearably smug atm. And can Susan really just draft in a deputy head for a few weeks? Where has her current deputy head gone???

exactly, so stupid. there was no mention of a deputy before. talk about nepotism. don't they have a reception. why is Sonya casually waiting outside Susan's office . in real life you''d have to bypass the dragon secretary.

Oh come on, these are minor offences in the scheme of unreality - what police force would allow the victim & a civilian, even an ex-cop, sit in on a murder interview/confession??

Kym Valentine had a (stress related?) illness and a temporary actress subbed for her for a month, then she came back & left again. When she was well enough to return, her character had been written out so she sued the TV station. There was speculation that this 3 week stint was part of her settlement, which might account for her smug air...I can forgive her smugness, but not her manic hand geastures and over-emoting. I really do not remember her being this bad!

And whilst on the subject of unreality, how does Imogen get away with shouting at the acting Principal, and how does said acting Principal get away with bawling out a teacher in front of 3 other people, including a pupil?!?

yes Pinkfizzy just wouldn't happen and where did that teacher appear from. get him a chair for goodness sake and a private meeting. wind your neck in Imogen.

The most shocking thing about the teacher was that he doesn't live in Ramsay Street.

he probably will soon Anne :)

Bailey is rapidly overtaking everyone else on my neighbours hit list and when is Therese's chest going to get its own show? Her bra maker needs an engineering award

The actress playing Libby had a huge run of bad luck. Her husband left her and joined a cult I think, she was hospitalised with depression. She had some virus and needed time out I think? She then had a punctured lung on a plane flight. I think she sued Neighbours and insisted on being allowed back. Is she just back for a few weeks then?

There was also controversy over whether or not she "stole" Rebecca's real-life husband, wasn't there?

Loved Paula Abdul randomly staying at Lassiters today!

I have just found this thread after spending the evening googling the Lauren/Brad back story to determine exactly when/how she got pregnant (need life).

I also enjoyed the Paula Abdul story, particularly her calling upon Dr Karl's all-encompassing medical expertise!

oh send me the link about Brad/Lauren, I need life too

It was basically various character pages on Perfect Blend and Wikipedia. It looked to me as though their relationship fizzled out quite a while before she left!

Enjoyed reminding myself of some old storylines at the same time. Like the Waterhole gas explosion. The Lassiter's complex doesn't have much luck with those does it?

Alemci - if you scroll up to my post on the 27th April, it lists the two episode numbers of when Lauren and brad broke up and when she left. There's some serious storyline stretching going on!

The one at 21.31

yes I will look later, thanks Katz

The thing that struck me was brad must have been like an alley cat at the time. He's meant to have Ned then Piper. All so unbelievable.

Also the chronology is so unbelievable, Lauren has just given birth then meets Matt then is pregnant within 5 mins with Mason. You don't feel like sex straight after giving birth do you??

I don't like it when Paul's so sad :(
