Neighbours Spoilers. Will Elly go to jail? Will Bea pen a new song about the mine? Who's going to keep Asteroid? How will we cope on two episodes a week? Will they all go into lockdown?

Spoilers y'all. Though goodness knows what we'll do when we run out of episodes. Hope everyone has accents ready for the mass roll play!

We haven’t had a face swap in a while!

Well I guess it's better than just killing him off offscreen

Who was the last one?. I remember they did with Libby

We had Brad, Lauren and Ben. Not sure if we had others since them. They have been very into bringing back old actors recently so that’s been nice.

Are we supposed to over look the head swap?
I remember when they did a head swap with Cheryl (Lou's wife) I've only just learnt that Sheila was the head swap for awhile 🤯😮

Think the head swap for Libby was when the actress Kim fell seriously ill.
I'm trying to think of other head swaps... Ooh Summer Hoyland.. Now that was a confusing one.

oh no! I like pierce.

is this forever or just a short while?

Lucy has several didn’t she? But obvs the last one stuck.

I wonder if they will go down the “have you done something to your hair?” route

Ugh just sought this thread out after reading about pierce's head swap with aussie nick knowles

Tim Robards is wooden,dont get me wrong, but i HATE recasting.

Is the character leaving permanently soon?

I love chloe but think she's much less fun since marrying and getting knocked up.

Yeah Tim is leaving to be with his wife, so it should have been him leaving scenes
They e kept the script and hired a new head.

I do feel for Tim not being able to finish

Fun fact: the new Pierce actor is married to the actress who played Vanessa in Neighbours a few years ago.

So the message on insta is that he has taken over with just two days notice (due to the rise of COVID cases/deaths in Australia) to finish the Pierce storyline.

So it very much sounds like Pierce is still leaving but I wonder if they will extend his plot and see how the new actor is received? Or bring him back at some point like Mark popped back etc?

DH asked of this meant Pierce was staying (he doesn't care, he was humouring me. Me: do you know who pierce is in Neighbours? Him: No. Me:married to Chloe. Him: no. Me: supposedly hot, keeps taking his top off. Him: no. Me: anyway, the actors wife....."

I think it might mean a possible return with the new head in the future but I imagine the story arcs for C and H are fairly set around him leaving so can't imagine them keeping him longer than necessary. I wonder if his leaving will be underway by then or if it's intended to be sudden and unexpected except now or won't cos we'll all be "new head man, that's two episodes left!!"

Yeah, if their relationship was deteriorating enough for him to just leave a note then I think they would have gone with that but if he still has a month left to film maybe they hadn’t gotten to the key moments as yet. Will he have to play Pierce as stiff as a board? 😂

I do t like that they keep lining up love interests for Toadie. Dee at least was a complicated situation but why do others? Sonya die really wasn’t that long ago. Can’t he just be alone for a little while?

I was thinking the same about Toadie.
When I read it I did think already?! It doesn't seem that long between Sonia dying and Dee leaving.
I suppose they need to get new characters in some how and at the moment there's not many options. Unless they have them turn up randomly

Agree. Even if he's over Sonia it's been 3 seconds since Dee left. Is Nell destined for a life of random women at the breakfast table?

I thought him getting with Dee was too soon after Sonia especially since he cheated with Andrea (who he thought was Dee).
But yes it's been 3 seconds since Dee left... Its all too soon - poor nellyfish.

On a different note I reckon Bea and Levi will get together

Daddy Daddy who is my new Mommy this week?

So it looks like Scarlett is has filmed scenes which fist in with Ned saying he had some big stuff coming up and a lot with Bea too.

Ash, the person asking for sleepsuits aid on Fandangle I reckon. Isn't she in jail?

Erm....

I'm sober I swear

Ahh, the person asking for specific things on Fandangle I reckon. Isn't she in jail?

😂

I’m not sure prison in Neighbours world can hold anyone for longer than a year other than Robert.

Not sure if it’s more prison scenes.

Did anyone spot the weird set up at Harold's? Obviously it's for social distancing but how random to now have a table with a massive plant in the walk way of the door and a shelfing unit to separate the wall table/bench and the other table.
(I hope I've explained that well 😂)

Yeah it's been in a few weeks now, it is odd. I assume it's so their safe space is well marked out bit it's not v subtle lol

I've only just noticed, think it's because last night was the first time in awhile I've been able to just sit and pay attention.

On another note anyone else finding Nicolette annoying? Is it just me?
