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??

I want to know what happened to Stella the childminder who was never seen, but often mentioned??

@MorningsEleven 😂

The floating flowers reminded me of a scene on Neighbours many years ago where someone (could it have been the real Dee?) had a late miscarriage and had a little memorial thing where she and (Toadie?) floated flowers down a stream. Anyone remember it, very sad scene?

I'm an episode behind.

I think making Nell film essentially a funeral of a woman IRL she probably loves dearly with a man IRL she probably loves nearly as much upset would be really hard on her so glad to see they fudged it

So you know how BaDee said someone called her Karen at the Salamanca markets....are we meant to think that the mermaid on the bench with the mystery man was "Karen" at the Salamanca markets? Anyone been to Salamnca???

Also thought that Sonya's final episode was beautifully done. I cried my heart out.

I'm confused by the whole Dee thing, I thought the real Dee was the one on the bench (in my head it is) but I'm under the impression (and I may be completely wrong) that real Dee has brown hair. I maybe thinking this because the actress is brunette now.

How contrived was it that the letter from kate tells mark not to push people away through fear of losing them?!

Agree. Why wasn't Aaron telling him that he was treating Elly in a shit way not enough?

I cannot remember Bench Dee at all. I'll need to Google it.

Also, can someone remind me of the explanation behind fake Dee looking identical to a random person? Or wasn't it explained?

I’m new to neighbours....by New I’ve been watching 18 months. I’m addicted. Anyway can someone tell me if Callum is the son Sonia mentions giving up due to her drink problem. If so how did Jarred end up with him? I know Sonia’s first meeting of Jarred was at puppy training, so did she track Callum down and use puppy training as an excuse to meet him. When did he realise she was his mum? Are am I totally off?

You’re pretty spot on, Tay.

About 10 years ago, Toadie fostered Callum (can’t remember the exact circumstances around why tbh), Sonya was a guide dog trainer and when Cal wanted to train one Sonya made sure she was their mentor. Sonya & Toadie started a relationship, all was revealed and they broke up for a bit before eventually getting married.

I’ve was just watching Sonja’s memorial episode which was good in parts, and well done but I have a big question .
Why does Dippy think it’s appropriate to wear a plunging neckline with her boobs out at a funeral ? It’s so obvious she’s constantly wearing dresses with her boobs right out there, it almost seems gratuitous !
Has anyone noticed that .

The camera angle definitely showed more of Dipi's cleavage than was necessary.

SpanishFly Cindi met Andrea and told her how much she looked like Dee. Cindi was part of the plot to scam Toadie, as Andrea was going to give her a cut of the money.

RealDee was blonde. Andrea had darker hair. I think this is how we're supposed to know the difference when/if the same actress starts playing 2 characters.

Toadie's wanted to adopt a child but that fell through. Someone knew Callum & introduced him to Toadie as a positive male role model. I think his great? grandmother got too frail to look after him so Toadie took him in. Can't remember at what point Toadie officially adopted him. I think it was coincidence that Sonya came to them as their puppy trainer but it was only when Jade turned up after she'd been flirting with Toadie for a while that we discovered there was more to her story. I think it was only after the grandmother died that it all came out.

^ Took me over 10 minutes to write because I have 3 children demanding attention. Don't they know discussing Neighbours is more important?!

WTF is it with Mark? is he the new Bea.
so he goes missing and doesn't come to Sonias memorial.
no doubt Ellie will forgive him and take him back, but poor Toadie could have done with him there.

Toadie 'It's time to move on' It's been a matter of days man ! Whoever called it that Toadie would be back in Tinder in a matter of weeks may well be right

Chloe is a pita and why did she have to tell Aran

@woodhill I don't blame Chloe for telling Aaron. He should have let it go and not gone on at her like he did.

Did anyone else think Bea's bridesmaids dress was odd?

I think the bridesmaids wearing white was odd but at least Chloe’s didn’t look like a wedding dress.

Well - at least Bea didn’t sing.

Ellie's dress was weird imo and didn't like the plunge neck.

Yes, we've had 1 episode with Bee singing this week

Woodhill I didn’t like the plunge neckline either but this is Elly! She constantly has her body / chest on show so her wedding day wouldn’t be any different

I didn't like her dress either, thought Bea's was more elegant for a wedding dress.
Also I think Elly tried too hard with her emotional acting... thought she was gonna lay on the floor wailing at one point.
I also want someone to punch her for treating poor Chloe the way she has.

Mind you Chloe should have backed off Elly. She's just had a relationship with that other nasty woman.
