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 get that Imogen has to go to the gym for that storyline but why is that the only thing she is ever doing anymore, either there or in gym clothes on her way/way back

notice Naomi (canning) is sporting a large pregnancy concealing handbag
expect her to start wearing floaty things soon

Naomi's been wearing floaty things for weeks! She got distinctly thicker around the neck very suddenly & was wearing much less revealing outfits from that point on. They're not quite Sonya-level floaty but they're definitely not the skin-tight outfits she wore when she first arrived! I wonder what excuse they'll come up with for her mat leave. Maybe Paul will want to introduce her to all his children & they'll take off on a round the world trip for a month or 2... or they'll split up & Sheila will send her somewhere hot to get over her heartbreak.

hope they don't split. wish Josh would find a new girlfriend, sick of Amber having him pining after her.

Couple of (predictable) spoilers - Brad and Lauren kiss (surprise, surprise) and Daniel starts to develop feelings for Imogen... Also, Steph Scully comes back as a permanent character!

Why does no one lock that well. Safety hazard!!
Thanks AGnu it was bugging me where Paige's mum was from knew I'd seen her before

Steph Scully comes back? Oh dear. So she will no doubt take over the garage again and fall in love with someone else's husband.

Is anyone else laughing at Sonya and Toadie's struggles with totally normal toddler Behaviour? Don't think much of the child minder who wasn't able to cope either!

I'm also hoping that the parenting forum that Amber found is Mumsnet! I'd like to see Josh's posts. Aibu to sell illegal drugs to help fund an operation that our doctor doesn't agree with for my unborn baby (which was conceived when the mothers fiance was stuck down a well with my sister) !

Sonya and Toadie are pathetic. why does Sonya have to over analyse everything.

was amazed Amber was at uni, you wouldn't know it.

YY, Toadie & Sonya were ridiculous. Who freaks out to that level over a small child with teeth?! Just don't stick your hand too close & it'll be fine! I'd be removing my child from Judith's care if her response to a minor issue with a child is to call the parent to collect immediately.

What was with the over-emphasis on what wonderful parents Karl & Susan are? I'm stunned their actual children aren't more messed up after their numerous break-up & reunions! Their smugness over how they were going to "train" Tyler was just creepy. If you were having problems with your toddler, would you call your own mum for advice or pop across the street to the neighbours who are obviously home during the day despite having about 5 jobs between them...

Both Daniel & Imogen's hair looked awful today. Daniel looks much better when his hair is swooped over his head, the parting makes his hair look flat & lifeless.

I spent most of today's episode playing snog, marry, avoid... Daniel, Mark & Karl respectively was the conclusion! Or a Brennan-specific version which would be Tyler, Mark & umm, the other one! I was a bit bored in today's episode... can you tell?!

yes it was boring and K&S are so smug.

with Nell how about no, stop. is it that difficult.

where are Brad and Therese in regards to Josh, they don't seem aware of his debt problems.

Haha yes the complete flapping because their kid was being a little high maintenance... Jeez.

I'm really fed up to hear that boring, drippy Steph Scully is coming back.

Wonder if she'll notice that Paige looks very like her sister Flick (the actress is Holly Valance's half sister).

The actress who plays Steph is Josh's mum in real life too, I wonder if they'll have any scenes together.

I've got a couple of spoilers so scroll past quickly if you don't want to see them...

I said upthread that ben comes back with a 'big secret'. Well turns out it isn't that big at all. Someone has a naked photo of him and is threatening to post it online.

as for creepy Jimmy, he turns out to be a wrongun afterall. He uses the bite mark from nell to blackmail

Oops sorry, to blackmail sheila. He threatens to say she made the mark as she has grabbed his arm for some reason.

I hope that means Jimmy will make a swift exit. He'll probably be discovered as some kind of prodigy and sent off to school.

That or someone will attribute all his problems to issues with his dad, he'll be shown going to one counselling session, someone will ask Amy how it's going a week or 2 later & then he'll have a personality transplant. Probably around the time that he discovers girls exist & then he'll have a series of storylines about fancying a girl, wondering if he's gay, finding a best friend who he does everything with because no other similar aged children exist... & then he'll leave school & become a teacher the next week, or leave to start a new life with someone he's known for 5 minutes.... I'm hoping it's the prodigy one though... He's a little creepy & not a very good actor!

He reminds me of a ventriloquists dummy

yes he's bratty and creepy with a horrible bowl haircut. Amy is annoying as well, so aggressive. does she have to always wear a check shirt and vest top.

hopefully Jade is leaving

Naomi rent a tent

Naomi's getting up like a pregnant woman now... It seemed like she was supposed to spring up from her meeting with Paul & Terese but had to heave herself off the sofa to go call New-Brennan. Has she had the baby IRL yet?

Oh, according to wiki, her baby's due a week after my 29th her 30th so will probably be mid-late August or early September. How far in advance do they film? She'll be absent from Neighbours for most of the autumn & maybe into next year, I guess... If she comes back at all! Maybe Naomi Canning Enterprises will get a big commission overseas or in another city & we'll have Paul pretending to be on the phone to her a few times just so we don't forget she exists!

annoying episode. why isn't Amy made aware of what Jimmy is doing.

Could someone be really kind and explain the whole 'secrets' storyline please. I didn't have a clue what was going on. I think I must have missed an episode. Why did everyone write down their darkest secrets for Sonya and Toadie?!? And when did this happen? I'm sure I haven't missed any recent episodes.

spoiler...

The actor who plays kyle is leaving soon so I'm guessing he will leave to join Georgia in Germany. I was wondering how that storyline would end. I thought maybe she'd die because I really couldn't see how they'd end it otherwise. I know amy and kyle have been growing closer but just find it too far fetched that kyle would leave georgia for her.

Also, the Brennan's dad turns up soon, which is obvious as they've started talking about him all the time. He's not going to be very nice.

the secret thing with Sheila being blackmailed by Jimmy was beyond ridiculous. why didn't she tell Amy straight away as she knew about the secrets problem and make her take him back home.

just some stupid secrets that Sonya had from the neighbours and precocious Jimmy discovered them and tried to blackmail the Kennedys but they told him to do one.
