Neighbours - Countdown to the wedding in the well...

[TheWashingFairyatemyhamster]

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!

Actually that sounds a bit shit.

Either Sonya is such a raging addict that even 4 grains of codeine on a shortbread will trigger a relapse, or the previous stint of addiction has stripped her tastebuds to the point that she can’t detect that Cackling Alice has distilled grams of pure codeine and then shaken it all over the top of the biscuits.

All of this is still much more believable than Toady saying ‘no’ to shortbread when Sonya’s stuffing whole batches down her face at every tea break. They should have done this storyline when Eve Moray was pregnant to explain her bump.

How is nobody noticing that the house doesn’t smell of freshly baked biscuits all the time? Heated shop bought surely wouldn’t smell the same as real?

Have I missed the part where Alice doesn't actually bake them? I thought she was baking them we just didn't view her doing so. Have I missed the shots where she buys the biscuits and lays them out on the tray ready made? All I ever see is her sprinkling the stupid tiny amount of crushed up naproxen on the top which is supposed to make sonya go all spaced out.

I'm finding Bea increasingly annoying. Elly was talking about her problems with Mark and she just starts talking about herself again.

I am loving Alice though, she is brilliant. Shortbreads: she puts the packaging in the bin, so I am surprised no one else has used the bin and seen all the empty shortbread packaging.

Even if Alice was a genuinely kind person, she would drive Toadie and Sonya mad with her constant interfering and smiling and offering advice. She wouldn't last five minutes!

That was funny when Susan was briefing the teachers about the poisoning! I thought "who are these randoms?" Then I thought "omg! Normal looking people!" I've been brainwashed into thinking that Xanthe and Elly and Chloe and Ned etc are what ordinary people look like. Of course they aren't!

Also, is it just me that lusts after Chloe and Elly's clothing? Its unfortunate that I'm overweight, 50, short and work from home, isn't it?

Was going to say the same about the teachers, they were so funny - they could have given ONE of them a line to make it more realistic 😂

And then they all seemed to walk off into the cordoned off school.

My fave was the shocked lady teacher, we rewound to watch her great face acting again!

I'm also amazed that Alice is able to get a GP appointment with David whenever she wants

Must be because they now have two doctors in Erinsborough. Karl used to be able to treat the whole region single-handedly, so that must leave plenty of time for David to sit there twiddling his thumbs waiting for someone to treat.

I wonder if hell get in trouble for yet more suspicious prescribing of painkillers?

I thought David was on his surgical rotation? One minute he's so busy helping in theatre, the next he has all that time to see Alice and her sore wrist

Maybe Karl ‘The Shagger’ Kennedy has put a note on her file that says he shouldn’t have to treat her because she once flirted outrageously with him a pub and so David has to cover the appointments with her as part of his penance for prescribing opiates to his own husband.

I hope it was Bea what pushed Finn off the cliff and she'll disappear to prison forever.

It has to be David treating Alice, it’s not the right part of the storyline for Karl to be telling everyone her business yet. (Like he’s been telling Xanthe and co all about Fin’s condition, with not a thought towards any confidentiality.)

Yeah David's so busy with work and study he hasn't had time to name his fish. 🐡

I was gonna leave it at that. But...

Arran:- Hey David, you can't manage to look after a goldfish and have no interest in doing so, I think we should go straight to a baby

Where Woukd thry even out it?? There's surely no room at the Brannings?

Even if Alice was good, and kind, and an excellent nanny, as soon as she referred to my children as “kiddies” she’d be out the door!

Either Sonya is such a raging addict that even 4 grains of codeine on a shortbread will trigger a relapse, or the previous stint of addiction has stripped her tastebuds to the point that she can’t detect that Cackling Alice has distilled grams of pure codeine and then shaken it all over the top of the biscuits.

To be fair I know addicts who won't even have cough syrup or something like rescue remedy in their houses as the most minute trace of alcohol causes them problems. They won't eat chocolates with alcohol in them either. Actually they don't ever have codeine either - one has even had significant dental work with no numbing injections and no pain killers after because anything can trigger a relapse. So the shortbread thing is realistic.

David is suddenly the most reluctant husband ever.

Did it annoy anyone else that when karl and toadie came in the house and Alice put her phone down she put it down screen up and then when she picked it back up it was face down. I'm sad i know

Sleeping Aaron would probably stick it to his front and do all his classes with it stuck there and be all smug. Then it will learn to move and they’ll have to buy an actual house at Robinson Heights which by then will probably have some on-site 24 hour day care that means you only see your kids just before a) they get bitten by a snake, or b) they get kidnapped by your demented ex/secret lost triplet/father’s deadly enemy.
