Neighbours. Dee isn't a mermaid, she's real. Should she marry Toadie or shall we line up up fro a ring off Mark? Can Finnbea go down the well with all her CD's?

New thread, no spoilers, it makes the spoiler thread feel obsolete.

I felt the Mackenzie storyline was a really clunky ishoo based plot and turned into a bit of a “learning point” lecture from Susan. Yashvi is turning into her mother - jumping to huge conclusions and digging massive holes as a result.
When Dipi mentioned Toadie is away for a few weeks I feel like joining him....

Yes patronising Susan telling Dipi she shouldn't mention her former name. She had already gone

I mean Mackenzie being formerly Michael.

I also fast forwarded Harlow.

It's just nice to see Mark happy for once, I just have to convince my brain to forget she's 20.

Yeah Susan on full patronising let's teach the people at home a lesson mode.

I'm assuming Elly actress is back off on stress leave given how suddenly she departed.

Reckon there's def something dodge with Mackenzies Dad. It's a bit weird thry haven't seen her since she was 10 (they've not been in it that long) but she knew where her Dad's random mate was living

I didnt realise the actress is transgender, I'm so glad they've cast the role properly.

In other news, theres a 5 part spinoff series in November based in the school. Will be shown on My5

Ooooh, interesting.
A remark or Sheila's made me sit up yesterday. Were she and Clive really together for two years? It feels like about 8 months, tops, to me.

It seems as if every drama/soap has to have a transgender plot line or character at the moment. Let's normalise children being given life-altering medication and left sterile, in the name of gender ideology.

Ive just got to lower the tone for a second and say that I have had to have several cold showers over the last couple of days. Just how hot is Mark Brennan lately, ive never really noticed before but Oh My God the guy is completely delish! Sorry, as you were!

This is a discussion about a soap, please don't bring your unpleasant views into this thread.

Not the Mark thing, he's always been lovely.

Wow @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius, it seems I wasn't the one lowering the tone after all. That is a very unpleasant viewpoint of soaps you have there. I think they do an amazing job of raising awareness.

Eeuuwww to Roxy and the food - well Roxy generally really

Yeah guys let's keep this to plot lines and gossip, not turn iti nto a trans thread. We all have our opinions, there's a thread on the feminist thread about this actual thing.

Yeah Mark is apparently hot when he's angry and getting lots of sex.

Fair enough, @SleepingStandingUp.

So - does anyone else find it surprising when Elly can just flit off for 2-3 weeks during term time? I suppose it helps if your aunt is the Principal.

Had to laugh at Therese still in her wrap style dress at the beach.

Rebecca in a beautiful pink dress to wear at the tram date as you do

Interesting today

Were the twins as shit at acting back when Paul was married to Christina, as they were today?

Day behind here.
I did like the scene when yash and mac were talking and mac was suprised that yash was still her friend, thought it was really sweet.
Rebecca is my fave paulwife

Amazing chemistry between the actors who play Terese' and 'Paul'!

I've always thought the Terese and Paul actors are amazing together and are very believable.

I wasn't watching when Christina was around. Could anyone let me know what that story was?

I'm also wondering who Christina is and how she fits into things.

I'm having to fast forward a few characters at the moment, like Harlow's annoying voice and Susan doing her virtue signalling.
Gail and Rebecca don't seem to have lives they need to rush back to. A bit like Elly being able to take time off from teaching at the drop of a hat

Was it back in the 90s when Paul was married to Christina? I like seeing all the old characters coming back, I just wish it was a better storyline. Plus there's other characters I'd prefer to come back first

Yes, she was his 3rd wife in early 90's. Don't really remember it then. Today was so annoying - I really hoped Paul and Therese would get married. Hoping it's not the end for them.

I just caught up on today’s episode. After Roxy and Mark’s food relat d session, I need the brain bleach, please.

Christina and Caroline pretended to be the same person when they moved onto the street. I can't remember why - I imagine they were in witness protection or something . Caroline was good at business, and christina was the dappy one. Somehow Paul and Christina got together. But I think he had more in common with Caroline and pretty sure they ended up snogging and so Christina and he broke up. Paul's conversation with her sounds as if he must have gone after her and been on the run from some sort of dodgy dealing, then left her to come back to Aus and face the music.

I may have oversimplified or made some of it up

But yes, I think Christina in particular was always a bit cardboard on the acting front.

I hope Paul stops freaking out and makes it down the aisle with Thérèse. They really have great chemistry and fit so well together. Properly believable. I remember when therese first turned up, Paul and she had chemistry from the start and they made out they had always had a spark back when she was running the Darwin(?) lassiters and he usd to visit on business.

Yes to shiela and Clive! Surely its not 2 years?

I can remember having a bit of a crush on Caroline. I think Christina was a bit more bratty. I was 6-8 when they were in it though so don’t remember much plot. I know Caroline has an affair with Paul. I can also picture them living in the old version of the house Paul lives in now. There was Rick Alessi too and was there another Alessi man? I can’t remember if they were the sisters brothers or cousins...

I can remember knowing there was going to be a wedding last year and we speculated it might be Sheila and Clive by it turned out to be the BooBoos. That was probably March last year that we discussed it so I guess it could be 2 years, especially as they would have had the month off air at Christmas 2017 making it seem like less time.
