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!

Sad Tyler and Piper didn't leave together, although I like Piper and don't want her to leave I would have liked a happy ending... Relieved Piper isn't going to cry over him constantly though as it was draining just watching it last time!

Bea's high waisted slacks are nearly as bad as Chloe's high waisted big white shorts! Maybe it's an Aussie fashion thing!

NymphInYellow · 24/10/2018 22:15

So is that is for Tyler? He was only back for 5 minutes!

MiddleClassProblem · 24/10/2018 22:39

Piper’s nuanced acting vs Bea’s CBeebies style yawn...

MorningsEleven · 25/10/2018 08:21

Those trousers were awful. She looked like a wasp in a paper bag.

SpanishFly · 25/10/2018 08:29

I find it fascinating how Bea's trousers are too high and also too short. As much as Chloe had the same style of shorts on, she looked ok in them as she has a longer body. They're still ridiculous, to be fair.
I wish i could remember what that style is called, I saw them on sale and they had a name that described them perfectly

SpanishFly · 25/10/2018 08:32

Oh. They're literally called paper bag trousers 😂😂😂

Yeah, paper bag trousers - they do what they say on the tin and make you look like you’re wearing a sack. I saw them in some fashion supplement and the mental picture of what I’d look like in them....ShockBlush

I think Chloe can pull of stuff like that because the actress and the character have a lot of chutzpah - she’s a bit out there, so wearing something faintly ridiculous but on trend is fitting with her character. Bea on the other hand is always going on about how she never treats herself and splurges on clothes so those trousers just look like Mark bought a set of overalls for Jemima, and then hacked them down to size (badly) for Bea.

Woah, Kate Ramsay is in home and away and is still all shiny!

tobee · 25/10/2018 16:44

Dancing with a top hat yet?

That Alice is an obvious baddun. Guessing she's Andrea's mum and also a fruit loop?

Smidge001 · 25/10/2018 20:54

Must be. Guess it runs in the family. Let's hope it's a female thing or we'll have Hugo going crazy too.

MiddleClassProblem · 25/10/2018 23:02

I still think it’s Dee in the psych unit. Deeliever forever!!!!

Seriously think Bea was only brought in to take over from Mishti in the irrating chapter role. She harps in about Finn all the time but he didn’t do half as much to her as anyone else. He has given Xanthe so life altering injuries (although by next year she will probably have no sign of it) yet Bea is the one going on about how much he abused her... he was quite nice to her until the last week or whatever 😂

I always assumed in the past that they were just shot at writing new character, particularly females. But Chloe has been amazing from the start. I’m not sure how much the writing should be credited vs the actor but she’s just so affable. Although... her nails are not my cup of tea. Nobody’s perfect. When we settle down in some kind of polyamorous relationship I shall file them in her sleep and claim it’s for safety reasons.

I feel like Bea is currently my only well contender atm. She’s overwhelmingly me with her annoying... well, everything, that no one else gets a look in.

ShakeMe · 26/10/2018 08:07

As if you would let a total stranger take your daughter to the toilet, then invite her back for free childcare! If someone says more than a few words in a queue I think they are a total weirdo.

ShakeMe · 26/10/2018 08:09

Ps. I called it before they showed her talk to Hugo.. I'm a kick butt detective!

CurbsideProphet · 26/10/2018 08:36

So Alice is Andrea's mum. Why wouldn't she have just said that? Toadie and Sonya wouldn't just send her on her way Confused Alice could have then been a double agent. Surely that would have made more sense than Sonya hiring a total stranger without getting references etc?
I'm clearly too invested Grin

tobee · 26/10/2018 13:18

It's not definite about Alice is it? But she looks like her

MorningsEleven · 26/10/2018 20:25

I still think it’s Dee in the psych unit. Deeliever forever!!!!

I'm with you. Fake Dee is on Hamish's yacht, kicking puppies. If only she could kick Bea overboard.

ZoeZebra1 · 26/10/2018 20:41

Fake Dee's mum thinks it's Andrea in the phyche unit, but she will kidnap Hugo and real Andrea will appear, meaning the lady in the unit is Dee #KeepDeelieving

BareBelliedSneetch · 26/10/2018 21:15

So definitely Andrea's mum now.

They aren’t being very subtle about her evil-ness are they? Grin

Smidge001 · 26/10/2018 22:28

Currently watching today's episode on catch up. I've had two WHAT THE??!! moments already, and I came on here to see if anyone else had commented, but no....

  1. What on earth was xanthe's clothing-folding method?? She sort of halved the vests lengthways, then rolled them over her wrist into a scrubbed up ball? What was that?! Shock
  1. Then that conversation sonya had asking about nell swearing? And finding it a proud moment...?! Only in Australia Grin (I lived there for 8 years - they swear all the time and don't seem to think half of what we call swear words are even the slightest bit rude! ). With all the sex stuff lately and now the swearing is funny talk, they must definitely have a younger set of writers, or be aiming at a different target group or something.

I need to get my I’m a Deeliever lyrics off the old thread for a repost...

MiddleClassProblem · 26/10/2018 22:35

I found it! Over a year ago but the hope lives on!

I thought Dee was swimming with the fishies,
Meant Sonya could be with Tooooadie,
Mark wanted a baby,
Sonya did agree,
And she forced them into surrogacy,

Then I saw her face, and I was a Deeliever,
An amazing grace, no doubt in my mind,
Heavens above, ooooooo I'm a Deeliever,
Last time we saw her, she was the bride,

Toadie didn't know what to say or do,
Mark was suspicious from the off,
Steph was really trusting,
Dee had banged her brain,
And Toadie knew that she smelt the same,

A photo of her face, I'm a Deeliever,
Her DNA, matched up just fine,
Toadie's true love, oooooo I'm a Deeliever,
Could it be her? We thought she'd died,

But Willow was the key,
Called her Andrea not Dee,
Fucked off to London with the Money,

But now she's on a bench, and I'm a Deeliever,
Cheeky wench, with Mark's rings she did find,
I'm in shock, ooooo I'm a Deeliever
Hope they didn't dream her, and her hair's not dyed.

Mogtheanxiouscat · 26/10/2018 22:42

I still Deelieve

ShakeMe · 27/10/2018 19:42

 so good!

tobee · 28/10/2018 02:54

That bit with Amy and Elly talking about Gary's sexual prowess! 😁

I'm sure it's been said before but I'm getting worried about Paul's liver. I know he's bought the odd espresso at Harold's but he seems to be living on whiskey these days. Maybe, to Australians, necking whiskey for breakfast, in your penthouse apartment, that anyone can walk into, signifies being loaded with cash?
