Neighbours. We the undersigned petition for an extension to the well for Mea and Lizard and a dream sequence from Toadie where he wakes up and all is right with the world...

[SleepingStandingUp]

New thread. No spoilers. If you want spoilers, there's a spoiler thread.

Therese and Paul are in love
Toadie is devastated
Mark needs to find Kate in witness protection in Summer Bay in a visit there with Elly where she reunites with the Stewarts
Finn needs to bog off and take Mea with him.
Have I got it all??

Chloe got over Elly rather quickly. Now she's in love with someone else. Wish they would give her a decent storyline.

Gary swearing again
Are they trying to be 'cool' for the kids or something? Neighbours is hardly that sort of show. They should stick with good old family entertainment IMHO.

They've changed to a pg rating in Australia instead of suitable for all hence the increase in sex and swearing

The sex is cringe. Stop it at once.

I heard they had changed the rating but I don't really understand the need to put swearing in just to match the rating ?! It makes no sense to me. I'm no prude but I find it really unnecessary and it jars. Makes me hate Gary even more. If they keep it up they will lose family audiences as there will be plenty of people who won't want their kids watching it. I'd understand if they had a chance of increasing their audience by appealing to the 19-25 age group but I really don't think that's their sweet spot. I mean, I know I watch neighbours, but I can't think of any cool people that age that would!!

whats the swearing? I've not noticed it,... but I do have a potty mouth, so.... /shrug

What the hell was that catsuit weird crap with heatherI'll stick with most rubbish I like on tv but that's not even looking through the window of likely anymore

OMG I CANNOT watch Dipi butting in anymore!! I agree with what she’s saying about Andrea, but wasn’t she the one who helped Shane hunt Andrea down?! Literally Toadie is screaming in her face ‘leave it alone, I don’t want to know’ but she always knows better!!! She has zero respect for other people’s feelings, she was awful when Sonya had cancer too! Aaarrggh!!!

I agree mush she is so annoying. She always thinks she's right and just keeps on going behind people's back. Then eventually apologies then does it again. I couldn't stand her if I knew her in real life - just back off!!

Candy We've got a new dog and every time I say good boy I go all Kath and Kim.
Good boi, good boi.
DH and I often have whole conversations in Prude and Trude voices.
Anyway, we are enjoying the comedy stylings of Heather and would quite like a spin off.
I did laugh last week when Roxy lost her bra despite the fact that the top she was wearing could not possibly accommodate one!

Are we supposed to believe Ebony's explanation about her sister? Only I think she seemed quite smug before when she's been getting Pierce's money, and surely you wouldn't actually be like that in those circumstances.

Not a chance. Just a sob story to throw Chloe off.
Pierce is so nice he'd offer to direct transfer the sister a to of money and move her into their house!

Yep, she's definitely a set up for Pierce and Chloe to get together properly, right as Elly finds her true Chloe feelings knowing Neighbours

Do you reckon they are saving money by reusing Steph Scully's wardrobe for Andrea? All those slouchy style t -shirts.

Just catching up on last week’s episodes. I swear if Mea or Elly or even Susan ever posted in relationships about Liz and her antics they’d be told to go NC. I have no idea why they keep giving her a chance ‘because she’s family’. Someone needs to send them a copy of Toxic Parents.

I lost you all! I’m drunk and it’s my birthday but I Bea sand and ruined it 😂

oh jesus flamin' chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist!!!!!! Roxy, get off the flamin pity train

and grow the f**k up

Oh good it's not just me then who doesn't trust Ebony. I find it weird cos she's Kirsty from h&a.

No more weird than therese being Sophie, liz being pippa, Ellie being Martha and vince being roman though, surely

I laughed when Mea said something along the lines of 'our relationship doesn't define who I am' to Finn when talking about their past relationship.

Happy Birthday Middle did Dr KK send you a message this year?

I’m hoping there’s going to be a storyline about Bea getting ‘discovered’ a sharp-suited exec who is desperate to buy the rights to the godawful ‘Sorry’. Then it turns out that he’s not a music exec but an ad exec and wants to turn it into the jingle for the Oz equivalent of Cillit Bang:

Sorry won’t clean that griiime

The look on her face would be so worth it.

I didn’t 😕

I joined last year for it but then he went travelling and said he wasn’t doing them whilst away and that he only does them the first year so I didn’t get it this year either...

Do people really go around telling all and sundry they’re going to start trying for a baby?

Haven't watched it yet but if it's Gary, I think he's essentially peeing up his tree to claim ownership

I was also confused by the "wow congratulations you're going to start shagging without contraception sometime in the near future"
