can I just ask a few Neighbours questions......

[anniebear]

Havent watched it for a long time now but read up bits about it

saw a bit tonight, where is Max? Why is Toadie with Steph looking after her Baby?

and still don't get the hat on Skys Baby indoors???!!!!!

Thanks

Max had a breakdown and has done a runner.

Toadie is now steph's best mate but it's leading to them having an affair.

No idea about the hat

Max became mentally ill after knocking over Cameron, who then died. Elle started to do things to make him think he was losing it...then he really did, hearing voices etc. Now he has gone AWOL as he thinks it would be best for his family for him not to be around.

Not sure about the baby, haven't seen it for a couple of days.

As for the hat..they do this in Home & Away too....odd.

If Skye's baby is meant to be prem/low birthwweight then it might have a hat on to help it maintain it's body temp. That's common in such babies in the UK.

Can't help wih the other questions I'm afraid.

I did think that the whole thing with Karl "knowing" that Dylan wasn't the father from scan dates and pushing Skye to tell was ridiculous.

All babies in aussie soaps wear hats though!!

whats more worrying is that steph's beby is at least 8 monhts and is always in a sleep suit!

Not sure then, will watch more Aussie soaps for research purpose.

"I propse to compare and contrast the use of hats in the care of neonates in Australian and English soap operas and then consider how this relates to real life practices in both countries."

What do you say, will you give me some funding ?

Thanks

Yes, the baby in Home and Away had a hat on indoors also didnt it!!!!!!!!

Sounds god LaD! I will indeed contribute to your funding, I will offer a VHS tape of a neighbours epsiode from 1996, which may or may not feature a baby in a hat.

It's so when they are shown holding a pretend baby the top of the plastic head doesn't give it away. It's always sooo obvious though...
