Neighbours Thread continued...MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Starting a new thread as the old one is nearly full.

Still catching up after my holiday, only a couple of episodes behind now.

Therese's brother is a really Dr Evil, isn't he? I hope he gets caught soon. I love Paul!

I assume that Lauren's payment will have gone to pay down the mortgage.

I also laughed at the 'brother Aaron' comment - so obvious!

Anyone taking bets on how long it will take Nate and Aaron to get together?

I would so like to slap Imogen's face - both sides - she's so self righteous and smug.

Jimmy gets creepier by the day.

Dr Karl telling lies about complaining to the Council about Sheila's male stripper - very trustworthy behaviour for a doctor.

Jimmy Jimmy - Undertones, keeps playing in my mind.

Sheila is so rude.

how did Josh get to Uni, last time I looked he was repeating Y 11

I think Josh is doing TAFE which is like a technical course for those less academically minded and I don't think you need any qualifications for it. I'm sure I've heard them mention it a few times. Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in uni after all though, to say they're not so good on their continuity is an understatement!

Bum, it looks as if everyone else has given up on Neighbours this week as well. I'm not a tennis fan so I don't even have Wimbledon as an excuse. Just cannot motivate myself to take on the mighty effort of switching on the telly for Neighbours.

I have almost caught up with this week's episodes - but as I am watching not only Wimbledon, but also the Tour de France, I keep on falling behind again.

I can't help wondering what Josh is going to start selling now, in order to be able to take Amber to the US for surgery. I somehow suspect it isn't going to happen - though I'd be quite happy if the whole drama shifted off our screens and just became something people mention in passing, at the Waterhole.

Is Josh going to end up in Big Trouble for selling Kyle the strong supplements - he could end up in jail, if he does, couldn't he?

I liked how Paige dealt with pervy schoolboy - but I am not sure laxatives work that fast, do they?

How did Josh think it would be possible to make so much money selling the supplements? He's can't have sold that many. Flights, treatment in America and living costs must run into tens or hundreds of thousands.

I know, I'd find it more believable if he went to wonga or the Aus equivalent if they have it. But I suppose there is already a loan repayment story going on.

I know it wasn't a loan with the car thing, not sure why I put that, just repayment I general I meant

Spoiler...

Apparently Forrest attacks Imogen and she knocks him unconscious. Also Mark fits Tyler with a wire and gets him to talk to Dimato's gang in the hope he can convict them. Sorry not very interesting spoilers!

Josh will end up as a teacher at Erinsborough High within a year.

Anne that'll probably happen about the time that Susan quits as head again so she can pursue her celebrant career & Brad will take over, despite never wanting to be a teacher in the first place.

Getting Tyler to snitch has been on the cards since he first bumped into Dimato. It's boring that it's taken so long! Lol at tiny Imogen being able to even bruise Forrest. He's got to weigh at least twice as much as her! When you say "attacks" do you know if it's because of her snooping into his business or a more creepy date-related attack? I look forward to the stellar acting that no doubt will be exhibited in that scene!

Haha AGnu. Well, in the clip I saw they're in a car together and Imogen looks scared and says "I want to go home now". Then it cuts to a scene where she's running away from him and he's chasing her. Then it shows Forrest looking dead/unconscious. I googled and I think she just knocks him out rather than kills him.

I get these spolier clips from instagram btw but quite often they make the scene look more interesting than it actually is. Like remember when Imogen opened her car door onto Nate? Well the clip I saw made it looked like she'd run him over whilst she was on her phone and it was all very dramatic. I posted about it upthread. But actually when the scene aired it was a complete pile of pants.

So why didn't Terese just show Brad the text on Paige's phone instead of scheming & gossiping about it?

Loving Karl & Susan as Sonny & Cher. And Paul & Naomi are sooo cute!

I'm guessing it's because she doesn't want to put ideas in his head! I wish they'd just get together so Terese can leave & all this drama would be over!

I was a bit about Paul trying to keep their relationship out of the press. Maybe he should just fire her as his PA if it's a conflict of interest.

New Brennan looks more like Kyle than the other Brennans. Acts more like a Canning too! I couldn't believe Mark kicked Tyler out though, didn't seem quite in his nature to be that harsh.

SPOILER (Aus pace - ep 9th July)

OH MY GOD!!!! ANOTHER bloody "do something wrong/illegal or i will report your sister/brother" storyline!!

FFS - really????

Did they have to cast someone who looks quite so much like a female impersonator as Paige's adopted mother?

Terese needs to take acting lessons urgently a good slap

Haha, I was thinking Priscilla Queen of the Desert myself.

I've never seen Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but still.

I am so glad I wasn't the only one thinking Paige's mum looked like a man in drag.

I don't care about Paige or her mum. I wish the mum would take Paige home with her.

hmm I thought Paige's' mum had come as Shirley Bassey along the pop stars theme but actually I'm not sure anymore.

Was anyone else hoping that maybe Daniel and Amber went dressed up as Kylie and Jason?

Ha, they missed a trick there Penguin!

Paige's mum is a "reality" TV star IRL - she's from The Real Housewives of Melbourne! She & Terese look more like Paige than either Lauren or Brad. It really bugs me that she's supposed to be their daughter but has brown eyes & they both have blue. Complete casting fail there!

and me Anne too, Paige's mum definitely man in drag and why was she in evening dress in the middle of the day.

Paige is immature and whiney, Lauren is so wonderful mother earth not

Given that that bloke was obviously doing some sort of repair work, he must work for the council. Surely Paul would've had every right to fire him for sexual harassment - would've made a lot more sense than firing Kyle. In fact, Kyle must have grounds for an unfair dismissal claim - all he did 'wrong' was not dealing with another council employee in a sufficiently confrontational manner for Paul! I guess that wouldn't have pushed Kyle & Amy together though. A slightly more realistic storyline would've been for Kyle to tell the bloke to back off the first time he did it & for Amy to give him a "look" & a little smile as he went back to work.
