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?

It has to be a psychotic episode, doesn't it? Maybe he had to bury people when he was a soldier? I am starting to like Nate after hating him at first. As an aside, I read the other day that he actually an Aborogine, which I hadn't realised before.

Karla the Koala would be good. What happened to their galah? (Not sure of the spelling of that)

Naomi is great, I'm glad she is back. I wish Georgia would go away though,

Spanish I'm not going to talk about this any more, we're going round in circles. You need to calm down.

We have a koala called Cara. Also a wombat called Chech. Not real ones unfortunately! DSs were given them when some relatives when to Australia. I named the koala because DS2 is too little to name his own toys yet. I suggested DS1 name his wombat & he chose Chech. No idea if I'm spelling it right or quite why he chose it! Maybe I can campaign for Karl to have a wombat called Chech! Grin

No idea what happened to Dahl.

Good thought on the burying thing. Maybe he's re-enacting his experience out there. He was looking at that counsellor in a somewhat terrifying manner though & being incredibly obstructive. Why would he go there & then refuse to talk on the basis that it wouldn't help. It did help when he was talking to Susan & he has no idea if he could feel similarly relaxed around the counsellor until he's actually tried it! I've thought he's become a lot more personable of late. Not entirely sure if we're supposed to feel like Nate is getting more comfortable being there or if it's just the actor relaxing into the role. His eyebrows still make me laugh though!

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned the spoiler alert in the title! Sorry!

The short grey haired lady is Hilary Robinson. (They did a handy comparison of her with darker hair as she used to look in the show then as she is now with grey hair Grin poor actress!)

Can't understand the madge thing either, must be a weird dream sequence (fingers crossed not a death thing as suggested by someone on here ... Though I suspect that is more likely. ) also wondering if they will ignore Harold's new woman!

I'm in aus now and so surprised to discover we are only a couple of weeks ahead of you. (It used to be over a year!) We have just had our last episode for the summer break - they dont come back on air here for a good few weeks, 6 at memory (no wonder the uk has almost caught up)

Someone was asking if they can see the extra few Aussie episodes online - I think all you have to do is go to the neighbours website and select the 'Australian site'. Then you can look at Aussie previous episodes.

I also found some sort of 30th episode section somewhere and filled out a survey on favourite characters from each decade. Paul made my list in most!

AGnu · 09/12/2014 00:52

Smidge I'm both the "someone"s mentioned in your post. Blush I've tried going on the Aus site but the episodes wouldn't play! Maybe I need to get a life do that fancy technical thing I don't understand that lets you pretend you're in another country to get around firewalls & the like...

Envy at "summer break". Although I'd probably melt in your summer heat!

For the last few years at least I'm sure we've only had 2 Neighbour-less weeks over Christmas so I guess that would account for us nearly catching up. Don't see why they had to extend the break before we actually had caught up though.

Who is Hilary Robinson? Do you know how stalker-person is linked to Sonya? Will we find out in the next episode? Does Mark live through it? Does Nate really bury Susan alive? So many questions! Grin I feel like I've just come across someone capable of time travel!

I'll go see about finding that life now... BlushGrin

This thread was started on 27th April.
On 30th April you mention that the thread name has had "spoilers" added to the title.
On 10th May I join the thread.
So I fail to see how I reported a thread that I hadn't even joined till 10 days after the name was changed.

So you need to calm down and stop chucking around accusations. I am perfectly calm, just extremely confused at where this even came from. I won't expect a comment from you regarding this, as you made it clear you're not prepared to talk about it.

Smidge001 · 09/12/2014 07:43

AGnu how funny I must have gravitated to your posts! I'm not sure I can comment on needing a life - in England I claim to watch neighbours to remind me of Australia, and in Australia I seem to watch England coz it reminds me of what I used to do at home! Grin must need a life too!

Oh boo hiss at the clever computers thing. . I know what you mean (and don't know how to flummox my machine either) - as I have the same trouble trying to watch emmerdale honestly, I do have a life other than watching soaps - these are my only 2 guilty pleasures. Somehow it knows I'm abroad so won't let me watch anything on itv player. HOWEVER I found episodes on you tube... Maybe neighbours is there too?

Hilary Robinson is Paul's cousin and used to be a regular in the late 80s. Back in the good old story lines! She used to run some of the Daniels corporation and was quite bossy and didn't smile much.

In the extra couple of weeks we've had vs where it sounds you are up to, we do find out who Sonja's stalker is. (A newcomer). Has Kyle's dad made an appearance for you yet? (It wasn't him). Nate kind of wakes from his trance/sleepwalk? Confused in the nick of time. (He's a bit odd, isn't he... I'm not sure I quite believe his character/acting. Not sure which). Rain, rain goes away, but not without causing some big fall out first. Oh, and the nicest bit was that Paul hand delivered some Christmas cards and was really quite sweet about those people having helped him etc (I do like it when we occasionally get to see his softer side)

Talking of which I think my favourite bit in the last few months was when moneybags got stuck in the freezer with Sheila Grin. Loved it!

Smidge001 · 09/12/2014 07:45

I can obviously give you a bit more detail if you want.. Let me know and I'll happily divulge...

alemci · 09/12/2014 08:35

I thought that woman may have been Hillary. I do remember her in early episodes and she was a real misery.

I think I can wait til January to see what happens. Interesting about Kyle's dad.

SpanishFly · 09/12/2014 11:05

Oh, come and join me in a no-spoiler thread! Surely I can't be the only one who DOESN'T want to know spoilers before watching the episodes?! COME ON! Over here - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/2254844-Neighbours-NO-SPOILERS-THREAD?

SpanishFly · 09/12/2014 11:05

Eh, how did the come out in Bold? I didnt put any asterisks Confused

AGnu · 09/12/2014 13:30

Yes, Kyle's dad is around - they've been bonding over making Karl & Susan's bed... Quite why they all had to use it as a trampoline I don't know! Hmm

I think that's probably enough detail to keep me happy for the time being... Grin I'll probably be back in a few days with more questions when I'm suffering from SND - Severe Neighbours Deprivation! I do have a headache today... Maybe that's the first symptom! Wink

AnneEyhtMeyer · 09/12/2014 19:59
Hmm

Anyway, moving on, AGnu the trampoline bed was hilarious! Very Krl & Susan! I'm surprised they didn't sk for a special drawer for the blue box!

OP posts:
AnneEyhtMeyer · 09/12/2014 20:07

This is a good article about how Neighbours is having a resurgence in form:

here

I think it is right, especially about the move away from so many teenage storylines. At the moment all the Amber stuff is annoying me, I've no interest in her teenage angst.

As an aside, I'm just watching Graham Norton from last Friday and Michael Keaton is on - he bears an uncanny resemblance to Jim Robinson. I thought it was actually him at first.

Why doesn't home and away have a break?? I'm having to watch a Santa film instead Sad

anonacfr · 10/12/2014 13:34

Can someone tell me how it actually ended? I missed e last episode.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 10/12/2014 19:32

It ended with Brennan going into Sonya's bedroom to see Nell, then Sonya got a text about Nell, she rang the number and could hear the phone ringing in her bedroom. She tried to get in her badroom but couldn't open the door, and she was screaming at Brennan to let her in.

Al very dramatic and a good cliffhanger.

I keep going to my Sky planner to watch today's episode and then I remember it is on a break. I miss it! (And I wouldn't admit that to anyone in real life)

OP posts:
anonacfr · 10/12/2014 21:52

Where was Brennan???? Is he the nutty stalker??

AnneEyhtMeyer · 10/12/2014 22:18

Presumably he is in the room, and I think Sonya thinks he must be the nutty stalker. But she was pushing against the door and it was open but not opening more than a small bit, if you see what I mean? Like someone was behind it stopping her opening it.

Have just found the Halloween web episodes too - they are hilarious! I missed them at Halloween as we were on holiday, but I loved seeing zombie Drew & Stingray!

OP posts:
Smidge001 · 11/12/2014 03:54

rummikub home and away does have a break here in Aus. I suspect if there's no break in England itms just cos they still have plenty of episodes to catch up on.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 11/12/2014 18:57

I caught a bit of Home and Away the other day and I was shocked - it is totally different to the olden days when I watched it. When did it become so slick and Americanised?

OP posts:
Rummikub · 11/12/2014 23:13

Thanks smidge. Think neighbours need to do the same.
I missed the last episode too, sounds v dramatic!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 30/12/2014 00:29

Oh, more Brennans coming - I wonder if they will all be topless most of the time?

I also wonder if they will all be called Brennan or will actually have first names?

OP posts:
KittyMcAllister · 30/12/2014 22:29

Yay it's back on my planner! The long wait is nearly over!
