Neighbours - Dee isn't Dee, Paul is evil, Finn is hanging on and Bea needs to find the well

Couldn't resist

No idea where Fynn went. Can only assume he was transferred to a prison hospital, especially with Susan still on the loose.

Anyone else disappointed that we didn't get a better Alice reveal? Sonia wasn't really capable of a proper "it was you!" response being as she was incapacitated by glove poisoning and everything.

Even Piper wasn't outraged enough when she realised who'd clocked her on the head.

Having people have conversations together about it is not as fun as pointing fingers directly at Alice. Sure It's more realistic this way, with Alice skiddaddling. But that's not we want from Neighbours.

Accidental realism then.

Ha Woodhill
Yes!
That's her.

I always thought I’d didn’t hate any abbreviation more than ‘xmas’. Until I heard Aaron saying ‘chrissy’.

No Neighbours. Just no.

Everything is abbreviated in Neighbours. Speak properly you idiot

I mean Arran and co

I noticed that, think it was said more than once too. Is it an Aussie thing!?

‘Chrissy’ in itself was more cringey than the whole of the clubbing scene today and that’s saying something

What was cringey about a grown man in his 30s flossing in the world’s emptiest bar whilst his husband and family yelled ‘BooBoo’ over and over again???

It was hilarious when Elly was concerned at Chloe drinking heavily and pretending she wasn’t with them as if that was irrational behaviour!

Dd's family are all Australian, they do not say Chrissy.
It's clearly a silly Neighbours thing.

Yes, first thing I said to dh today was ‘fucking Chrissy???’ It was the quick succession of the use that was particularly grating.

That baby though, he’s so lovely.

Yes, but which is worse Chrissy or Crimbo?

I heard the term 'chrissy' a lot in Australia when I lived there. I also hate it. But then again I hate most of their shortenings. 'docco' is another (for a TV documentary). I swear half the kids in Aus won't know what the full word is, they never hear it!

I've watched four minutes of today's and already my arse is clenched into my throat by bea's singing.

I've decided Chloe is literally the only character I actually like!

And the Val thing is ridiculous.

WTAF is this random Val grundy person for? Suddenly the entire street know this woman and bump into her today then she's dead. Do you think she won a competition or something to get on the show??!

What a load of tosh.

Bea's voice isn't that great, do shut up please.

Yes Vsl Grundy - wasn't Grundy the tv company?

Yes, grundy was the tv company. (Maybe it still is)

The producer was Reg Grundy - and Val's dog is called Reggie.

smidge she’s a pretty famous actress in Australia apparently
I think they did it to have an excuse for a community cheer storyline, ie the Christmas concert, but also long term to free up her house and introduce a new family.

That episode was so full of shoe horns they could have opened a small branch of Clarks! Even Toady couldn’t manage to make the ‘Lets Put on a Show!’ bit sound remotely realistic. As if anyone in the run up to Christmas ever said ‘yes I could really use some more shit to do’. Particularly when he’d just been moaning about being so busy and so tired that all the neighbours had had to come round and tidy his house up. (I think Mark was going to be sorely disappointed with the oven given that Alice wasn’t using it nearly as much as they thought).

Shoe horn in random neighbour, shoe horn in Matt Wilson’s dog, shoe horn in Bea’s godawful yowling and Piper’s fecking vlogging. Make it stop! Do you think they are pissed off that they no longer get a break at Christmas and are trying to make it as shit as possible so that everyone begs them to take a break next year?

I quite liked it with all the old props and stuff
