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?

I don't think I've seen the first episode...

SuddenlyEveryPartOfMe · 19/03/2015 00:02

Now this I remember all too well. When ds was born (he's 2 now) he was a shocking sleeper, right up to around 18 months.

During the (many!) night feeds, I started watching neighbours from the beginning, on youtube! That is how sad I am Grin

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:09

That's a fab idea! I'll have something to look forward to when dc go to their dad's

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:10

I really want a neighbours family tree.

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:18

It's so weird hearing old Paul's voice come out of young Paul.

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:22

Great first episode. I'm hooked Grin

SuddenlyEveryPartOfMe · 19/03/2015 00:27

It's great, isn't it?

I've stayed up far too late. I was going to have an early night! But couldn't not watch Grin

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:33

Same here, I was on my way up to bed then saw it listed. Made my week. Eclipse will come a close second!
Champagne moment on the thread was you're user name appearing at exactly the moment the song was on Grin

Oh that was amazing! I remember it like it was yesterday!

So funny to see the original Scott Robinson. He was in it again quite recently.

I could watch it all again and I probably will.

Eclipse? what eclipse?! Can't see anything past the shine from all that taffeta and lipgloss Grin

Timing was good, wasn't it? I thought I'd miss it, as I couldn't remember my password! But got there just in time Grin

Rummikub · 19/03/2015 00:54
Grin I actually feel happy. Can neighbours do that to me??

Suddenly it was perfect timing!Grin my favourite mumsnet moment.

I woke up this morning with Angry Andderson's "Suddenly" on a loop in my head. I think it will stay with me all day.

I had the most peculiar dream about Joe Mangel eating a plate of veggie bacon that was clearly made of 100% pig. The soundtrack wasn't 'Suddenly', but Barry Crocker singing the Neighbours theme.

I really enjoyed the anniversary programmes, especially seeing the very first episode again.

Only problem is I was getting so into the story that I was disappointed when it finished. I'll have to You Tube them all!

ScienceRocks · 20/03/2015 11:14

Just popping in to say hello and how much I enjoyed the Reunited programme. It was awesome, and good on the likes of Kylie, Jason, Guy Pearce et al for doing it! I would have liked a "what they went on to do" style thing, a bit like they do with Bake Off, but I'm such a Neighbours geek that it is probably just me who would be interested.

I have saved the wedding and first episode to watch at a later date. I laughed out loud when Guy/Mike said that more people watched the wedding in the UK than there were living in Aus at the time!

I was wondering if anyone is still in it who was there at or near the beginning? The only person I could think of was Paul. Also, how many families have been on the show, eg. Olympia and Holly Valance, Terence and Jason Donovan, Carla and Harley Bonner? And how many characters have been played by more than one actor, a la Lucy?

Milkwagon · 21/03/2015 12:11

Don't you mean Terence & Jason Donovan and Stephanie McIntosh who played Sky? She's Jason's half brother apparently...

ScienceRocks · 21/03/2015 12:27

Really...?

Pastamancer · 21/03/2015 13:07

I couldn't have told you the exact relationship but yes, Skye was played by a Donovan relation.

woodhill · 21/03/2015 13:55

it was good but where was any mention of Alan Dale, he was a main character.

ScienceRocks · 21/03/2015 14:11

Yes, Alan dale was a major character and is now a hollywood luvvie.

ScienceRocks · 21/03/2015 14:12

Ditto Jesse spencer who played billy kennedy and went on to be in House.

Pastamancer · 21/03/2015 14:52

Alan Dale will always be Jim to me no matter what he is in.

Milkwagon · 21/03/2015 14:55

Stephanie McIntosh is Jason Donovan's half sister. His mum was 22 when she had him and 39 when she had Stephanie....

Agree - Alan Dale will always be Jim Robinson. Even when he was a ghost on Ugly Betty he was Jim Robinson.

It was really weird the way some characters were overlooked in the looking back show. I know there is a lot to cover in 30 years, but we needed more Robinson stuff, and more Des / Daphne / Dr Clive.
