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!

Yes funny with Josh

laughed about Erinsborough high, numbers are
definitely down. 1 small class and 2 teachers who seem to be on permanent holiday

I wonder if the memory stick was a way of passing over the storylines Naomi would've had if the actress hadn't gone on mat leave/left the show?

I really laughed at the Josh/Steph bit. Clever!

Why was Steph familiar to josh? I can't remember why she left and apart from Susan and Karl who was still in the street?

She's his mother in real life, Autumn

I can't remember why she left either. That's Neighbours problem, they wrap up storylines in such a rush, they're instantly forgettable! We'll all be asking 'Naomi who?' in a few months too I imagine!

Steff left because she was locked up for snatching Lucas and Vanessa's baby thinking it was the son she gave away to Dan - Libby's ex husband.

I assume she is out of day release from prison/hospital hence her comment that she couldn't work nights. She was in prison in bendigo.

In the street when staff did it would be Paul, Toadie and Sonya, Karl and Susan, possibly Mark Kate and Sophie. Lou and Harold might have been about too

in fact google says the kidnap was at the same time as the eclipse which means Kyle was there as he looked at the eclipse and blinded himself.

Kate was dating Mason so the Turners and Willis's were back too.

What year was this? It must have been my neighbours wilderness years because I can't remember. How old is josh? Surely he can't be Steph s son? I'm proper confused! They need to do a flash back episode...

Ah just read that you wrote mother in real life, not neighbours story line.

I really love Neighbours and am enjoying the storylines at the moment but what the hell is going on with all the weird camera angles? It's so off-putting!

I LOVED the Steph/Josh meet, I proper sniggered at that.

DO NOT like Therase- despite the fact that shes obviously going through hell and doesn't deserve to be cheated on she's always been a cow. I would like Lauren and Brad to be together!

Loved Naiomi's folder placement and agree Nell's storylines are totally shit- does noone in Ramsey street have any child raising knowledge??!

I can't decide whether or not I like Steph. Is she back for good? And how wooden is Liam?! He is such an obvious villain he might as well be twirling a moustache. His Aussie accent is rubbish too.

Close your eyes if you don't want to see a spoiler, but I watched the fire episode today. What a load of complete and utter rubbish! Erisnborough's fire brigade must be the world's worst seeing as how many randoms were running in and out of the buildings!

Love the way they want Brad in Eden Heights, thought he was a rubbish teacher but smug perfect Susan not being picked as new head was funny.

Oh I LIKE Susan, and she does seem to be very good at her job, them wanting Brad is ridiculous- 'following his career' what a laugh.

I also don't know how I feel about Steph, I sort of want to hate her but I'm not really sure why. I still can't abide Jimmy.

I agree about Brad, I was being sarcastic. He had black marks against him for falling asleep and letting Amber fall over as he wasn't there.

Susan has a very cushy role at the school and seems to have so much free time.

They ALL have a stupid amount of free time... I'd move there if there hadn't been such a high chance I or someone I loved would be murdered

I don't like Steph but there is a little part of me that wants to be all motorbike, leathers and swishy hair like her!

How is Brad even a qualified teacher? I know living in Ramsay St is an automatic teaching qualification but what is he meant to teach? Surfing? Surfboard care?

I miss Naomi already. Liking Steph's return - poor old Steph, think the slippery slope began when she split up with Max many years ago. Thought they were very well suited and then it all went dahhhhhn from then on. Want to stab Lauren and Brad in the kneecaps. Hope they get the plague and that all their bits fall off. Vile, the pair of 'em....

The Harold's renovation was more than slightly underwhelming...

Haha I know excited, it looked exactly the same to me, just a bit more...yellow .

I've always liked Steph, she's been through so much, not surprised she had a psychotic episode. Sonya is such a judgey cow especially considering the things she's done in the past. Wonder how long before Susan starts on her holier than thou act with Steph too. Did you know that Lucas is a director on the show now? I always liked his character too.

Spoilers below....
I'm looking forward to the fire scenes. On instagram neighbours have been posting photos from behind the scenes. It looks like they're all doing a 'sleep in' at the school to protest against the planned closure. Paige and Tyler get trapped in a lift. Susan, Amber and some others are trapped with the exits blocked and Amber goes into labour! One or more of terese's kids must be in there too as her and Lauren go into the building to try to rescue them but they end up getting trapped themselves. Brad goes to look them but is unable to free Terese as lockers have fallen on her. Toadie also trapped inside.

There's also a storyline coming up where Jimmy goes missing, something to do with one of Liam's dodgy associates I think, but the finger gets pointed at Steph. Not sure if that ties in with the fire storyline and Jimmy being lost inside the school.

Lucas has aways directed a few episodes, I really like it as I think it must help that he acts and directs sometimes. One of the behind the scenes YouTube videos a while back (geek!!) showed him directing- it might have been Kate's death episode.

I definitly agree about both Lucas and Sonya's judging - absolutly ridiculous! Sonya especially should be the first one to not get hung up on Steph's issues but then I suppose she's aways had a lot of issues with her so it makes it a bit different.
