The BooBoos need their own kid, Shane needs to go to rehab, who wants naked Ned pics, who WILL Levi snog, and will Susan be usurped by plain Jane, super brain? It must be Neighbours...

Yo. No spoilers. Go to the spoilers thread for that kinda chat.

Why is Bea having so many facetime calls?

@Flashinggreen

Has anyone ever remembered the whole schoolies thing before? I’m sure it’s not been in the storyline when others have left school.

I feel like I do, but I think most of my Schooled are in Summer Bay. It's the only damn thing they celebrate

I don't know, I have had plenty of years where I haven't been able to watch. I've a vague memory of some going bush after school. Can't remember any more details, was probably about 15 years ago... Anyway, it's always a disaster if they leave the city environs and go into the outback somewhere.

Perhaps she has to self isolate. Is it going to be Schoolies for a select few? I assumed it was a big multi school festival type do.

I think there will be lots of background shots of tents and then just the cast and the Floozie throwing herself at Ritchie

I get the impression it's like Spring Break in the USA, with loads of young adults getting drunk and congregating in the same resorts, but I might be quite wrong.

They’ve done it before when Kate, Donna, Ringo etc went on schoolies and I think Xanthe and Ben did to. It inevitably is able someone deciding whether or not to lose their virginity.

Before it was just a group going on holiday so more like here when you’re 17/18 but not sure if that’s actually how it is.

I did watch it then just don’t remember the expression 🤷🏼‍♀️

Such a stupid name

Can there be a more miserable pair of girls than Mackenzie and Harlow? How often do we see them smiling, let alone having a giggle?!

Absolutely, @Clawdy! I am an avid reader, and even I could think of something more fun to do after exams than ‘read for pleasure’!

I had an exam recently and my post exam treat was to resolve my fiction books...

(I have no friends.)

Reshelve, not resolve.

Omg the effect when Shane was driving fast cracked me up.

Has Karl only just realised that addiction is classed as a mental health problem?
Scripting was a bit shit but they did seem to try to do a lot for men’s issues all in one International Men’s Day ep.

Jay in it for 5 mins and he's suddenly a bestie with the other boys

I'm so proud of Hendrix

Totally. I’m glad they are keeping him strong and not a follower in all this.

Yes, good for Hendrix, but no doubt Harlow will still have a go at him! Poor boy.

Harlow is like Eeyore

@Clawdy

Yeah I'm waiting for her to assume she's mentioned in it, I hope he tells her where to go

@MiddleClassProblem

Harlow is like Eeyore

Don't be mean to Eeyore

Has Karl only just realised that addiction is classed as a mental health problem?

You'd hope not, given his importance to medicine in Erinsborough (though we do now have Clive and David and Nicolette and Audrey(?))

I liked Hendrix, though I was a bit confused by the all men storylines - was this episode broadcast on International Men's Day in Australia (19th Nov) or something?

I was amused by Paul giving relationship advice.

Yeah, it’s was for Men’s Day and a reminder of how behind we are!

Hendrix was absolutely brilliant and I loved him in that episode. I don't get why he is still with Harlow, I don't think I've ever seen her smile. Even Mackenzie was getting excited while Harlow just said she was going to read. He's going to get unreasonable attacked by Harlow over this.

I love reading too, but she genuinely doesn't seem to know how to have fun,
