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 hope it is Ben who dies. With Sonya and Paige.

Is anyone else tempted to post a thread on here as Terese and one as Lauren just to see what other people think? I can't believe Susan in all of this, she's been on the receiving end of infidelity and she's siding with the other women. I think Brad has spent to past 12 months gas lighting Terese. Making her think it's all in her head.

aaron is staying.\he was a temp character, that is why piper and amy were put in credits before him

i saw this on a fan group

Lauren: Hey, why don't you move in with me, Brad? Just as friends of course. What could possibly go wrong??

AIBU
MumofTwinsErinsborough:
My job meant we had to move back to the town where my DH grew up, it was a fantastic opportunity and meant my HD could concentrate on coaching our son to become an olympic swimmer (sadly an accident has meant his dreams have been shattered and my DH had to return to teaching to bring in some money to help with family finances). The day we moved in, his old girlfriend moved in across the street too.

Bit of back story, he cheated on his girlfriend with her, they dated for a bit but he went on to marry the original girlfriend and the ex left. He was still with his wife when i met him but i didn't know he was married (he lied to me), his marriage fell apart and we got together and have had 3 children together.

any how fast forward to a year or so ago and his ex-girlfriend (the one now living across the street) confesses that when she left all those years ago, she was actually pregnant with his baby (have to say i doubted this as the dates don't truly match up and how would any know not know they were 6+months pregnant! - but the dna test show he is the father), he and his ex went to where the baby was adopted to look for her and they kissed - both claiming it was a heat of the moment thing. Since the i have been suspicious of them together, which given my history with him and his history with her i think i'm allowed to be.

They did manage to track down their daughter and now have this bond and kept spending time together. I discovered that the daughter was trying to get them together but my husband said it was all in my head and that he only loved me.

I'm not blameless in this, i have to confess i started drinking a lot as a way of coping.

Anyhow now the worst has happened and he spent the night with her, i only found out because my boss sent my some photos of them together - my husband kept it from me and was going to just lie.

My problem is that i am being painted as the bad guy, that i drove her into his arms with my unreasonable behaviour - behaviour which stems from them kissing in a hotel room and spending lots of time together which resulted in them sleep together - so my instinct was right!!

AIBU to expect my friends and neighbours to take my side and to not have anything to do with my notdoD H and this women?

Can you just imagine the mumsnet replies!!!!

Haha katz. I don't know who writes these scripts but they seem to be okay with pinning the blame on the wronged party!

Jax, thanks for that, I'm really glad Aaron's staying.

So I wonder who will die in the EH fire?

I'm glad Aaron is staying too. What did the women of Erinsborough do before there was a strip show every night?

What was that?? If my dc were on a 'sugar high' they would be racing about tearing the house apart. I think they've done a fab job casting Nell but really can we drop the non-parenting story lines they just fall flat. Nell looked like a doddle to look after.

Hats off to Katz! That's brilliant. The whole plot gets me so ANGRY!! Must remember it's not real.....

Thanks blackcelebration, this storyline is really annoying me! I have no problem with them breaking up Brad And Terese but to make it her fault, agh! Brad is a serial cheater.

Tempted to try writing an AIBU from Lauren's view point.

As if Toadie wouldn't have been able to tell that the box was empty! I'm sure 6 grand has quite a weight to it!

I just adore little Nell, she just comes out with such sweet little things that obviously aren't scripted. Like the other day when Sonya and Toadie said they loved one another and she shouted "I LOVE YOU!" and when Sonya came back from the hospital and she said something random like "your knee isn't sick". Aww bless.

She is so cute, I enjoy her unscripted stuff too.
I thought Naomi's exit was a bit weird and rushed. Great that she's going off to her dream job but they've had a few months to prepare, it could've been done better.

AIBU

A few years ago I moved back to my old neighbourhood with my husband and our children to have a bit of a 'fresh start' after a tough time (our son had been in trouble with the law). I was shocked to bump into my ex boyfriend. It brought back a lot of feelings from the past because he didn't know that I had been pregnant with his baby when I last saw him and (I believed) then lost the baby. I started to have quite a lot of dreams about him and every time I was around him I felt like maybe he felt a bit of a spark with me too (although we were both happily married - his wife even became my friend. My husband was nice but boring as fuck). Anyway, it turned out that my baby did not die at birth but my mother had had it adopted At this point I felt I had to tell my ex about the baby and of course we were quite keen to track our daughter down.

Although his wife was my friend, and my ex has children with another woman too, she really didn't want us to look for the child and she was quite hostile. It caused some problems in my ex's marriage. I then went away with my ex to try to find our daughter and we had an intense moment and kissed. I know it was wrong and we both stopped it straight away, and we did end up telling our spouses. We were also successful in finding our daughter and he came to stay.

Unfortunately, the kiss made my ex's wife really angry (understandably) but she took this out on our daughter by being really nasty and unwelcoming to her. Our daughter wasn't even welcome in their home, so my ex had to come to my home to spend time with her, which kept the spark between us going if I'm honest. The wife also tried to get rid of our daughter altogether by having her investigated by a PI, inviting her adoptive mother to town and also trying to persuade her adoptive mother to take her away abroad. In addition to this, I started to realise that my ex and his wife were not very happy because he is a very laid back surfer type and she is a very hard-nosed business type. She has also been drinking a lot, is always very angry and sharp with people, has alienated close friends recently etc, plus she bustles around with her boobs up round her chin.

I then lost my husband in a tragic accident and my ex was with him at the time and promised to look after me, which brought us closer again. I admit I leaned on my ex a lot during this time and became even more aware of my feelings for him. We did end up sleeping together which I know was really wrong - and his wife found out. They have now split up. AIBU to think that our mutual daughter, our mutual attraction and our shared interests and personalities mean that it's ok for us to give it a go? I just want to be happy. Ex's wife is very angry and is acting like we are the most evil people alive but I obviously didn't ask for any of this to happen and don't think it's unreasonable to just want to be happy with the father of my daughter.

On another note, did you spot the very-careful-pregnancy-bump hug that Naomi gave Shiela in the episode today? It was so obvious.

Naomi's bump covering has been hilarious, so many folders!

Why is it that Naomi can move across the world in a matter of hours, but Brad has taken weeks and still can't find a new home in the same suburb?

For china - that's great, see written like that you do feel for Lauren too!

how is it that Aussies seem to be able to move to USA without any need for visas, work permits and the rest and leave with no luggage/faff of packing and the rest. I know it is not real life but is it easier from Aus than the rest of the world or are they just trying to write in an exit with minimum of fuss.
see piper is back in her 'benny hat'

That's really good ForChina , I'd forgotten what a cow Terese was to Paige.

I hate how they rewrote history by having Lauren say she'd had feelings for Brad since he moved back to the street when Matt read her diary and was really relieved to read that she didn't have any feelings for Brad whatsoever .

Why did they film all the Naomi/Sheila scenes out in the garden in the last ep, when it was clearly tipping it down with rain?!

I know that was weird.

Also weird was Sheila flashing Naomi. So random!

I missed the Naomi exit, what happened?

Love the Steph and Josh meeting, your face looks familiar.

Yes I thought that was quite cute! I'm liking Steph being back.

hacked, she applied for a job in LA being a PA to wrestlers lol. She went to see Paul to break it off with him and he was really horrible to her so she decided that she wasn't good enough for the job and even though they'd offered her an interview she decided not to go. That's when things got a bit surreal and Sheila flashed her boobs to give Naomi an adrenaline rush . After having a chat Naomi went to the interview and was offered the job and was asked to leave for LA the next day! In the morning a limo arrived to pick her up along with her executive. Was all too rushed and very unrealistic but then neighbours storylines can be a bit od sometimes! Anyway, before Naomi left Imogen came to see her off and Naomi gave her a memory stick with 'dirt' on Paul on it so wonder what that will bring up. Seeing as Imogen is with Daniel it probably wasn't the best person to trust it to.
