Noticed that the other thread is nearly full, but I don’t know how to set up the link thing on the other one. Help!

Was she there the same time as Martha though?

Was trying to work with Therese too or was that the other Pippa?

I think that when Rebekah Elmaloglou was originally in it, it was with the old Pippa, but that she guest starred in a couple of later episodes which might have been in the new Pippa era.

Weirdly, whilst googling I discovered that Sophie’s dad on H&A was played by Terence Donovan aka Doug Willis.

I'm guessing that Pippa isn't still in H&A? I think she was when I last watched it

SleepingStandingUp · 22/07/2018 15:58

No Alf has the house now

MrsSteveMcDonald · 22/07/2018 15:59

I'm surprised there is anyone in it that I would still know

SleepingStandingUp · 22/07/2018 16:04

Alf and Roo.

Irene?

Marilyn

MrsSteveMcDonald · 22/07/2018 16:28

Don't know Roo but know Alf. Is Irene the one with a husband called Mud? Is Marilyn the one who was with Donald Fisher?

SleepingStandingUp · 22/07/2018 17:04

Roo is Alf's daughter, she was friends with Bobby and Carly

Irene was an alcoholic, she came in after Fin and can't remember lads name came into it. She foster / takes in waifs and strays now.

Yes that Marilyn

BareBelliedSneetch · 22/07/2018 17:22

I thought Marylin was dying. Did she have a miraculous cure?

SleepingStandingUp · 22/07/2018 17:50

I dunno, I missed a bit in the middle

bella2bella · 23/07/2018 07:56

@TheWashingFairyatemyhamster I'm pretty sure Sophie was with the newer Pippa as I don't remember the old pippa but remember the new one and Sophie well!

MiddleClassProblem · 23/07/2018 09:23

I think Martha and Pippa crossed over a bit

Smidge001 · 23/07/2018 19:43

Let's get this thread back on Neighbours...

WTAF with the photo shoot? Yet another stupid secret being kept from the other half after having nearly split up from. Trust issues previously. The writers are SO predictable.

Baddee is a cow. Why does she even want to mess with toadie any more? I don't get it. She's already got all that money out of then, I don't see the motivation anymore.

Smidge001 · 23/07/2018 23:14

And can anyone shed some light on the bea/elly/mother relationship?

I assumed elly is the older sister. Is her father this Lars chap? Or is Beas father Lars?
Their mum said Lars went back to his wife. So is Bea Lars & Ulrika's child or Lars and Susan's sister's (I forget her name)?

Im confused over the order of relationships and children!

Is it:

SS (Susan's sister) and STBXH have Elly

Meanwhile Lars & Ulrika are together

When Elly is a couple of years old SS & Lars get together and have Bea and stay together until she's a teenager?

Then Lars goes back to his wife after like 15 years or something? Confused

And Bea's a reminder so SS sends her away.. And in this middle class family no one calls each other/visits/contacts or anything for however many years she's on the streets for to notice she's not living with either parent?

The timings/orders don't make sense. So then I thought maybe Ulrika and Lars are Beas parents? Kind of makes more sense, except (a) she calls SS mum (b) SS said Lars went back to his wife, which suggests elly isn't his daughter. In which case elly and bea are only step sisters and not even half sisters (but everyone keeps saying how they're identical).

Arrgh. Has anyone else worked it out?

Excited101 · 23/07/2018 23:36

Ah! Pippa! I knew she looked familiar!

MiddleClassProblem · 23/07/2018 23:39

I’ve not got to Liz eps yet but Liz is both their mother. Lara is Bea’s dad and Ian is Elly’s dad.

SleepingStandingUp · 24/07/2018 00:11

for however many years she's on the streets for to notice she's not living with either parent?
I thought this, she said for 5 years. So she was, what? 14 or so??

It is very far fetched. I mean surely Liz sent Bea birthday cards and presents and Christmas presents etc. Why wouldn’t Lars call her up and say ‘WTF are you sending stuff to me when she lives with you?’ At the very least?

I looked up the Pippa/Sophie overlap and she straddled both Pippas. Also, apparently the actress who plays Susan Kennedy also auditioned to be Pippa 2, and she and Pippa2 actress are very good friends.

I assumed that Liz had an affair with Lars, had his baby, & he kept stringing her along. Eventually his wife found out, he moved in with Liz but ultimately convinced his wife to take him back.

mrswhiplington · 24/07/2018 15:02

Why did Sonya ask that machine how long it took to get to the airport? They catch a plane to somewhere every other week. They must know how long it takes.

Also, how do they afford to keep catching these planes? Toadie flew somewhere to get Willow a couple of weeks back, then Sonya went to Hobart on her own, then they all went, including Willow. But they are always complaining they have no money. Are the flights free?

Smidge001 · 24/07/2018 20:33

And now they've got enough money to fund psychiatric care and another house, food etc (they said she won't be able to work, and needs to stay in hobart). I must have missed the episode where they got an inheritance/won the lottery!

The flapper show thing is a complete waste of time.

Is dippi still having any anger management lessons or is she all fine again now btw?

I keep seeing the 'coming up next' bit with a scene with Paul and Thérèse Smile... Looking forward to that. I love their relationship. Hope the writers can keep it good.

Hmmalittlefishy · 24/07/2018 20:39

Was just coming to ask where toadie and sonya get all their money. All those flights, lost loads of money with dee, nice house and endless childcare for nell. Neither of them are ever at work!
Surely the photo of dee and toadie proves she ISNT dee. Didn't she die on her wedding day? So how would she have a picture developed after the time

Smidge001 · 24/07/2018 21:05

I don't think it was the same as the wedding picture actually. But it still can't be dee. As sonya said, this woman has recently had a baby. Pretty coincidental that she'd have had a baby at the same time as Andrea. And if she's dee, someone from her new life must be missing her and have reported her to the police, so would have located her well before Paul's PI. And if she came from hobart before, surely someone she used to know would have been surprised to see her when she crept out of the sea mermaid like with all of Mark's engagement rings, and would have got her back to toadie 20 years ago?

Smidge001 · 24/07/2018 21:06

I'm beginning to think Baddee went to the same dentist as Elly btw.

AGnu · 24/07/2018 22:13

No, no, nooo... She's actually real-Dee, always has been. The shock of the wedding day accident made her into Andrea but giving birth to Toadie's baby has made real-Dee resurface, albeit a bit damaged. Bit of therapy & she'll be back on the street, possibly living with Karl & Susan once Ellie's galloped away...
