Does the man never talk to a woman without falling in love?

Still holding out hope for RealDee, but hopes fading fast...

I know dumdedum hence the "". None of it makes sense. She was also 15 so anyone would be a child abuser so I'm guessing they are rewriting her age. Not watch today's yet

1981trouble · 04/04/2017 14:12

See!!!!

woodhill · 04/04/2017 14:17

Rubbish about Paul being the father. Does not ring true. He would be a criminal as Kim was underage so again totally implausible. Not liking this storyline.

MommaGee · 04/04/2017 14:18

Anyone know how old Paul is? Guessing Kim is 45

MiddleClassProblem · 04/04/2017 15:09

Can't wait to hear the "explaination".

Also, Amy playing fast and loose with the term beautiful there.

And Ben, just so hard to read his emotions...

SpanishFly · 04/04/2017 15:58

What the hell is going on in Neighbours?!
He's the dad?? NO WAY. Pleeeeease make him be covering up to protect the twins in some way.
If he's the dad, he wouldnt have treated them so badly all this time.
I actually quite liked Amy and Leo - something quite young and naive about them both.

MiddleClassProblem · 04/04/2017 16:31

But he didn't know he was the dad. must of know he was a paedo though

ethanrayne · 04/04/2017 16:34

Paul is the dad?!?!

ComedyofTerrors · 04/04/2017 16:39

It's getting shockingly confusing,

From 1985.

Kim's mother had an affair with a Japanese man resulting in Kim (could this be the Udagawa connection)?

There was some confusion with her mother and stepfather during which Kim ran away from home, I believe Scott was blamed for the pregnancy but that got sorted out.

Kim was pregnant by Brad (Not Willis or Satchwell) Brad was trying to sell Kim's and another girl's babies. The original Scott helped her, including getting her a room at the motel then opened by the Udagawas. Kim was reconciled with her mother and they moved away, presumably the twins were the result. (is this the Key clue)?

Present day 32 years on.

The twins have a Japanese great grandmother, presumably from Kim's father's side.

Their mother and great grandmother refuse to tell them who their father is. The great grandmother told them his name was Brad but nothing else about him.

They start investigating and things seem to be pointing to Scott being the father.

Paul is now suddenly saying that he's the father. I don't believe that he is. He is either trying to protect Scott or going along with something Kim suggested because he doesn't like the idea of Amy being with Leo.

If they do carry on with the Daddy Paul story, they will have to explain the confusion pretty convincingly.

SpanishFly · 04/04/2017 16:57

middleclass, it is bonkers. And if he didnt know he was the dad, it doesnt seem to have shocked or upset or confused him at all by finding out.

In the past few months, Neighbours has changed all the personalities -
Toadie is now a guy that cheats on his wife, not Mr Nice Guy.
Sonya has feelings for another man, yet she was always devoted to Toadie.
Dee isnt actually Dee at all.
And now Paul has been a paedo all along.

WHAT THE HECK?

tobee · 04/04/2017 17:07

Don't know about you lot but I'm getting irrationally pissed off that they've made Xanthe want to be a nurse and that Ben should want to be a doctor. Gender stereotyping of Neighbours from the early days (their morality was always 1950s style then). I know Xanthe is as ditsy as all get out but she could still be capable of being a doctor. And why couldn't they want Ben to be a nurse? Rant over.

MiddleClassProblem · 04/04/2017 17:22

I'm the old clips it was a weird hotel rather than the motel. It looked all built up. It's pretty much a total rewrite. I'm not sure how old Paul was but I'd say at least 20 of Scott was 18. She only met him for the first time at the squat before she got up the duff. They made that clear when he came to help Scott help her. Fairly sure they didn't hook up then as he was with a priest and there for 5 mins!

It will be interesting if it's a total rewrite. still reaching for secret off screen affair when she was of age

ReggaeShark · 04/04/2017 17:25

They had a male nurse once. Chris's first love. He's in The 100 now.

Smidge001 · 04/04/2017 17:27

No way is Paul the father. That's ridiculous. I'm also gunning for a cover up.

MommaGee · 04/04/2017 17:30

Wikipedia have the twins listed as his kids. Before we send him to jail what is the age difference between him and Scott?

MiddleClassProblem · 04/04/2017 17:37

Paul celebrated his 50th end of Jan 2014 so will be 53 now. So 21 when it started? Scott was 18 and Kim 15.

Either way he was an adult and she was a minor.

tobee · 04/04/2017 17:47

Yes I remember the male nurse love of Kris, but I just thought that it could at least be an option for Xanthe to be a doctor. Of course, Beverley Robinson was a doc as one of those clips reminded me! But I'd just like it as a role model for younger female viewers. Or maybe only old codgers like me watch Neighbours these days anyway. GrinNeighbours has a long line of ditsy young girls although wotshername was a mathlete Grin. Natasha Williams.

MommaGee · 04/04/2017 17:56

Yeah 15 and 21 especially of a vulnerable young woman would be too far even for Paul.
He didn't know Kim was the twins Mom bit even when he found out he was surprised not doing Math's in his head.

Ok got it.

Paul: why didn't you tell the boys
Kim: didn't want them to caray the shame I did.

If Paul was the Dad that's very offensive and given they're still pally that doesn't work. Paul is pretending because whoever is the real Dad is too shameful. He's trying up do a good thing not realizing he's making himself out to be a paedophile

MommaGee · 04/04/2017 17:57

And yeah, I want Susan to point out to Xanthe that she could be a doctor

MommaGee · 04/04/2017 18:07

Although that doesn't explain the panic over sex. Was clear from the start Kim was fine with Amy till she knew who her Dad was yet was fine with Paul himself

ReggaeShark · 04/04/2017 18:10

Has anyone told Dr Karl that there is a new (male) Doctor at Erinsborough General? The one who tended to Finn. That place has never been so well staffed.

GoldenGumballs · 04/04/2017 18:16

Whaaaaaaat no no no got to be a cover up and that way Paul also gets Leo off Amy's back metaphorically speaking. Will he have to pretend to care about them?? Still think Kim was abused (not by Paul)

Dumdedumdedum · 04/04/2017 18:30

The Wikipaedia entry about Paul being the twins' father could be written by someone who has no knowledge of the first 100 episodes of Neighbours and is just following the current script, so that means nothing, I'm afraid!
I'm still going for idiotic amnesia amongst the SW's and producers, THEY must believe Paul is the father or they wouldn't have scripted the mad dash to prevent Amy and Leo committing sibling incest.
MCP - sorry, wasn't disagreeing with you, more trying to back you up!

tobee · 04/04/2017 18:31

Reggae it was weird that that Dr had similar colouring to Dr Karl and the sort of stripy shirt favoured by him. Apparently this alien Dr was noticed by the press as well. Next they'll be having more than two rooms, the one for everybody to stay the night in for observation and the one that is used for an office/come sometime consulting room.

Katz · 04/04/2017 19:00

Another neighbours storyline rewrite then. Paul was not interested in Kim at all - Brad the baby seller was the father. Unlesss they are implying that Paul visited her more often and they then had a relationship.
