Neighbours Thread - Just Say No to the Limber Ladybird

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Therese - wake up and open your eyes and arms to Paul!

Run, Paige, Run!! Mark only wants you for the contents of your womb!

What is with the creepy men at the minute? Finn, Mark, Jack & Gary make my skin crawl.

lol I came on here to post about the huge 👶🏻

Oh my, the lord moves in mysterious ways. Clearly god has sent Jack a baby so huge in order that his dog collar is bound to be hidden if he's holding him. Which begs the question - what is in the sling he's wearing in the titles? Clearly not the enormo-baby.

Haha yes I came on to post about the huge beam from the giant newborn baby too.

Xanthe is so so so so annoying. I hope Fin throws her off the plane into the sea.

Ha ha ive just said to dh I need to see what mumsnet say about the huge baby!!
Surely one of the writers/producers etc has had a child and knows newborns are nothing like that! I know actors sometimes play younger but there's a big difference with a baby!!
No wonder he didn't want to breastfeed he's probably on 3 meals plus snacks a day

What's gonna happen in 6 months when Gabe's walking and talking??

Xanthe had never contemplated snogging Finn? Like hell hadn't she. Uck UCI eewwwwwwww

What's this about a plane?

Did anyone watch V? Maybe he is one of the lizard people who age rapidly. In a few weeks he'll be teaching at Erinsborough High.

I still like Xanthe. If she were older it would be annoying. I think yashvi is on a Piper path if annoying teen that will come good. Hopefully she's not in the Jimmy path of little shit to annoying ventriloquist dummy.

Today's lols: giant newborn smiling baby;
breastfeeding through all clothes and wondering why the latch isn't good;
baby feeding disclaimer from Lauren 'some women bf, some try but can't, some choose not to and they're ALL OK';
Paige explaining to Jack why Gabriel is a significant name for Catholics 'you know, after the archangel' as if he may not have heard of it;
The predictable phone calls setting up why Lauren will have to go/Brad and Ned don't come back

In other news, is Finn just doing all this with Xanthe as a way of keeping her onside as a spy? Surely he'd be better of risking it than bringing relations with a student onto the charge sheet?! Do we know that he actually has a brain tumour or did Xanthe get that wrong and he's using her dimwitterry to his advantage?

was the baby premature? I thought she was not yet due!
A dummy baby with mobile arms and legs hidden in a shawl would have been more realistic and less distracting.

I think he was a bit early but not perm. There was a lot of close ups, I can only assume he's someone on the staff teams kid and there come back from maternity leave with no child care.

I love Xanthe but its def her age and innocence that works the story line. I can vareky watch him sleaze on her. I actually wonder if they made such a deal of her birthday so we'd all remember how old she is. She always seems much younger than Piper.

Ugh just POP anuerism! Anuerism was confirmed in the hhospital scene where she found out

Had to join in with the giant baby spotting ma hoo sive.

Also, had to laugh when David said the secret would be out, he looks nothing like me. Because you are so the spit of Paul

Given that the baby is clearly not a bit early, but instead several months late, does that mean it will turn out to be Tyler's after all?

Surely Paige could have at least lifted her top to 'breastfeed'? It's almost like Neighbours have decided to make it all as unrealistic as possible. That baby... it's all pretty hilarious

I thought she had one of those breastfeeding nightie contraptions where some goes up and some goes down and your boob just pops out somewhere in the middle. Although completely useless if you are feeding the baby from your armpit

The second time I did see she was wearing one of those special vests with the overlapping boob opening bits on it I think

Cross post!

Paige was also beautifully made up, hair done etc - not my memory of a few days in hospital.

Oh, I missed that, sorry Neighbours bosses

Jack saying how 'fragile' the baby is 😂😂

No postnatal check ups or anything for Paige and Gabe then? Just skipping out of there and jumping on a plane, as you do

I'm utterly in awe of how Paige has got her pre baby figure back so quickly. She's been got rid of rather neatly as well. Wonder if Jack will stay in Erinsborough battling his demons, or whether he'll follow Paige to the Gold Coast and be rather neatly got rid of too.

I am waiting for Xanthe to abscond with Finn. If Gary goes off in hot pursuit, -lumbering- limber ladybird vs lizard lips could be entertaining. Gary had better watch out for the insect catching tongue.

Omg we thought that baby was big just seeing it's head and now they have it in a onesie!

How can she feel ready to go on a plane? Should she still be crying because she hasn't got the energy to brush her hair?

ComedyofTerrors I think you're over estimating how long she'll be gone

I also came looking for the Neighbours thread to comment on the 6-month size, smiling "new born" who is also supposed to be 3 weeks premature iirc

God has obviously blessed him

Oh - and the breastfeeding through clothes up beside her armpit

I struggled to establish bf with ds (took about 8 weeks to be able to get him to latch on consistently - could take up to 20 minutes at times just to get him on ) - but at least I was aiming at my nipple!
