Why is Chloe everyone's fall guy? She hasn't even done anything particularly wrong, yet she's the one being kicked out of her own house and community by Jane. Unlike Nicolette who is a freakin psycho.

MiddleClassProblem · 18/10/2021 20:00

And Jane the serial slapper (meaning physical slapping not slut shaming)

Yes, I'd be packing Jane's bags

Nicolette's self soothing method was a load of nonsense

MiddleClassProblem · 18/10/2021 20:27

Especially as she did the opposite the night before

I need to catch up but I'm watching Go Jetters 🤣

Omg they're all annoying.

David was talking about sleep routines at a few days old and him and Arron about having a regular routine with baths every night. Now Nic is letting her cry herself to sleep at 8 weeks old.

But David is her father - surely he has equal rights and responsibilities - but that would not make a typical neighbours storyline (which relies on conflict)

Yes but she is clearly stressed and anxious. She's not long given birth, her hormones will be flying all over the place and they're putting her under even more pressure. It only seems to be about what they want and what is best for them. The only reason they want Nicolette to live with them is so that Isla is under their roof. They don't really care about Nicolette.

SleepingStandingUp · 19/10/2021 12:53

Seconded Crinkle. She's had ISla alone for 7 weeks, she's got into a way of doing it and they're just "but Abigail do that!"

Now I know that bit isn't their fault, it's hers. But they're not putting ISla first.

Om some things I get why they disagree and I'd have picked the crying baby up too, but you'd think they'd be treading a little more gently.

Tbh Nic has spent the whole pregnancy proving to the boys she's worthy to bear David's fruit

Omg I’m sorry but nearly half of Ramsay Street could have said what Hendrix did to Mackenzie to her because she’s so controlling. She didn’t think she should apologise at all, even though Kyle warned her.

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 20/10/2021 01:53

I didn’t think Hendrix said anything wrong at all. And I have 3 sons around that age.

KatieKat88 · 20/10/2021 07:07

I think Hendrix shouldn't have snapped at her but she was being controlling, the essence of what he said was fair enough. Hope Kyle has a good chat to him soon and gets him to get to the doctors!

Clawdy · 20/10/2021 08:24

Such a sad depressing storyline for Neighbours, wish they'd not done it, although I know it's obviously a valuable message to get tested. But I always think of Neighbours as a more light-hearted soap, unlike Coronation Street!

MiddleClassProblem · 20/10/2021 08:54

I think it’s good to show the stress and ostrich reaction. I can remember Paul having a breakdown back in the 90s sat on the floor in his office. I’m not sure it’s ever just been light hearted. But they do do light and shade more than they have been recently.

She is so controlling
ThistlyPerf · 20/10/2021 18:32

God I’m so over Sheila and this ménage a trois thing. She is becoming seriously unpleasant.

Right now I think I want the entire cast to fuck off down the well. With Chloe’s eyebrows first.

Stellaris22 · 20/10/2021 19:22

I didn’t see Mackenzie as controlling. She was trying to help while finding it impossible to talk to Hendrix, he dropped out of school so she tried to help by offering an opportunity for his cooking interest.

Sheila is very annoying now about the relationship and it’s boring now.

I’m hoping Terese stays strong and doesn’t get pushed to get back with Paul.

MiddleClassProblem · 20/10/2021 19:32

She organised a meeting for Hendrix without asking him first and got forms for a course with out asking. She’s telling what she thinks he should do, even if she means well, she’s controlling.

Stellaris22 · 20/10/2021 19:59

I think even if she had tried to ask the communication from Hendrix has stopped so much she wouldn’t have gotten a response anyway. I thought it was just trying to be helpful and thoughtful about someone she cares about and not controlling. The meeting for a career opportunity was showing she cared.

woodhill · 20/10/2021 20:03

But she did this with Melanie and the cvs as well. She is too much at times

MiddleClassProblem · 20/10/2021 20:09

But he didn’t know about the meeting. She set it up and didn’t tell him, then told him to impress this guy and after said he was doing her a favour to meet Hendrix. It’s a lot of pressure to suddenly have to impress someone when you are clearly emotionally struggling, let alone finding out it was a set up and if you had fucked up that might have given the other guy a bad impression of you.

And yes, it’s just like Mel’s CV and various other things in the past. She’s done things with Dipi and Shane too in a weird way. And Kyle warned her it might not go down well!

SleepingStandingUp · 21/10/2021 00:17

Age, she's controlling and whilst he may not have done it right, he did the right thing telling her to back off.

She didn't just get the forms. She FILLED THEM IN!! Then she set up the guy for him to impress and kept it secret from H

And another Harlow, always knows best

Amy has got a bit of a cheek getting upset that Levi had a drink with someone else. She gets to have her cake and eat but no one else can?

Hasn't she.

I know I’m a prude but that snog between Mackenzie and Hendrix?!! I had to turn away - too much for the afternoon

But they agreed she'd have cake and eat two slices and the boys would eat one. That's the agreement in their relationship. If one of them wants to see someone else then yeah, I think they need to be saying actually this has come up and this is what I want to do. Team Amy.
