Neighbours Thread - The Deelievers have hope - don't let us down again!

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

I am so pathetically excited that Real Dee might be back this time. I'll help Sonya pack her bags.

Have finally watched Friday's ep. 'John Rotondo' looked like he'd escaped from the Aussie version of Strictly.

Nell is the same age as my twins and her behaviour sounds pretty normal to me! Mind you, if I tried to put them down for a nap at their age I'm pretty sure a) all hell would break loose b) they wouldn't to to bed until 11pm, and c) adjusting to school would be a massive problem if they were expecting to pop off for a snooze in the middle of the day.

Looking at the leavers and returners list on Digital Spy. Neighbours is right under Hollyoaks so I always see the last one of theirs before it loads properly and I swear it's been Jennifer Metcalfe for the last 2 years!

Looks like Eve will definitely be taking mat leave. Wonder how long she'll be away...

Also wonder if that's what the Dee/Andrea reappearance will have been written in for. Please be Dee!

Also catching up and no idea why was Piper telling the world where she goes to school? Especially after major trolling issues

Maybe Paul will return with Real Dee?

More classic Karl and Susan moments today. Rofl!

Thought the Courtney massage reveal would be more entertaining though.

Paige or Elly. Who do you want to win over Mark?

Plus why are Paige's highlights annoying me so much?

Paige and Mark.

Elly needs to go to Summer Bay

Oh my days! Karl & Susan are a masterclass in soap comedy!

Oh my days! Karl & Susan are a masterclass in soap comedy!

Definitely. "Karl, you're as hard as a rock down there." And Susan just continuing on when Mark came in, Mark saying "Aaron told me to knock before coming into this house."
Such great scenes tonight, along with Terese and her mention of cash inhand jobs

Strikethrough fail!

Just seen the Courtney ep. With the drill and the knife polishing 😂

I called the macho man bit. I feel like Flo and Standing might be script writers and they have another lot in for the second draft to make it daytime appropriate.

And the cabin on the boat cracks me up. It's the shitest set!

Was it my imagination or did they do a few months including a pre credit scene and that has now disappeared (not sure when it went as I didn't notice)

What sort of twilight world have the writers created that I find myself on Team Paige?!?

Clearly I'd only back Elly if she was running the Melbourne Gold Cup.

She should definitely canter off to Summer Bay.

They definitely did a scene pre-opening credits for a while there middle. I remember as i found it annoying coz I'd sometimes miss out on key info by fast-forwarding to the end of the credits.
Has it gone now then?

Yeah, I double checked in case I had fast forwarded past it too today as I suddenly recalled it was a thing but it's gone. Flash in the pan like those drone shots.

The pre-credits scenes were odd. They always seemed to cut before the scene had properly finished, sometimes almost cutting off someone's lines!

The innuendo's getting a bit much now. They've had 2 storylines recently involving Karl & Susan & sexual assumptions. I love the sausage jokes & the references to the blue box but it seems to be a lot less subtle of late & it's starting to wear a bit thin for me now!

I missed a couple of episodes last week, now really confused with the Hamish storyline. Is he pretending to be Tyler's dad, and why? I know money is involved, but what's the plot?

Hamish has a massive tax debt and wants to run away in the boat.

I'm not sure if he is really Tyler's dad or not. He knew Tyler's other dad better than he's let on, and has a card from the deck the others have cards from, but hasn't let on.

Thanks, yes, I remember the card bit now.

The cabin on the boat reminds me of that awful 80s programme Triangle and somehow Hamish acting style is dated too.

why the hell is everyone apologising to Courtney???? Shes the one who was working illegally, allowing the women to think their partners were have sexual treatments

ffs

Ooh, what a cliffhanger.

I feel bad for saying this as she is only young, but the nasal sounds of Yashvi are beyond irritating.

The thing about Mark is not only does he seem to need to get engaged 3 seconds into dating someone, but he moves on without, seemingly, a backward glance! Still trying to get over Kate, I assume, but he doesn’t seem to join the dots.

Sonya and the strategically placed big bags and folded rugs!!

Ugh that music. Someone is trying to be Netflix trendy.

Middle yes! That music was bloody hideous. Like the sort of thing an alien would have used to extract information from one of Blake's Seven. It was actually causing me pain.

Felt like someone had just watched stranger things and gone "this is so in right now". But that's set in the 80s...

I miss the sugar and spice song

I love Paige. I've always been on Team Paige. I was chuffed when I round out she is Holly Valance's sister as I'd been a big Flick fan as well. Stupid Elly showing up today and ruining it for Paige and Mark. They belong together, and she can take her croaky, whiney, horsey self off my screen and go be the most inappropriate teacher ever on some other planet! #overinvested

Wish Hamish would bore off though. Steal the boat, don't steal the boat. Whatevs. Don't care.
