Neighbours, the one where they all live happily ever after and we make up the rest in our heads. NO SPOILERS

[SleepingStandingUp]

So this is it gang, the final thread.

Will Paul & Therese get it on in time?
Who's off to The US?
Who moves in no 24?
Will Toadie make it down the aisle again?
Will Jane ever move out?
What will the last ever words spoken be?

And anyone going to the shows has to come back and spill the deets

Yes, it was when Harlow was still filming. But they may not have filming the outside party in the last week. The video watching at the Kennedy’s I think was the last scene filmed as that’s where they all did the final toast with Margot Robbie’s champagne. It had all the same people there.

Ah ok I remember Levi and Freya making out

Also going forward Therese should keep the look she had on today, much nicer than her dresses

It was a nicer look on her rather than the fitted dresses or that weird jacket / cape thing.

i am so glad they’re all staying in the street. Either lives on in alternate reality or they could do a 40th special!

Sorry if it's already being discussed elsewhere, but did you see the documentary where Stefan Dennis claims he dated Natalie Imbruglia? Surely she would have been only about 17, and him mid-30s? Gross.

There's a 17 year age gap so yep, if they dated when she was on neighbours she would have been 17-19 and him 34-36.

Also I've just clicked the she's Beth Brennan. Was she related to Chloe/mark/Tyler?

I don't remember her being but that is a really good point

They have never mentioned a family connection. And she was discussed by Brad to Mark in an episode and no family was discussed so it was just a same name thing I assume.

I had never made that connection! Ned was in it the same time as the brennans though so it would have been said if they were related I assume.
maybe brennan is a more common name then we think!

I'm fairly certain there was no relation, at least none mentioned.

The docu last night went into how Beth was introduced as the new Charlene, both being pretty but spunky girls doing masculine (mechanic and builder) jobs.

I’m sitting here crying like a fool.

So many memories - all entwined.

And I’m a sucker for love finding a way.

When your heart breaks for the girl you used to be because you know what is coming.

To happy endings. In the real world.

I have a question, having just spent a few hours of my life I'll never get back filing one 30 years of plot lines via Wikipedia .

The Tanaka twins. From what I can work out, their mother was a character called Kim Martin who was in it way back at the beginning before even Jason Donovan started to play Scott Robinson. (I started to watch around the Scott and Charlene era).

Kim was pregnant and going to have an abortion, but looks like she changed her mind. Paul Robinson was part of that storyline but no hint of any relationship between them. I can't find a picture of her- was she ethnically Japanese?

It then turns out that Paul is the father of the Tanaka twins. Are they the same pregnancy as the one from the original storyline, or did they backfill that Paul met Kim again later off-screen?

Why is their name Tanaka?

Sorry, Kim Taylor not Kim Martin.

I think the boys were adopted by their mother's husband, presumably a Mr Tanaka.

The age gap between Paul and the twins seems pretty small!

Yes, Kim was Japanese, but presumably adopted as her parents were both white (unless her father wasn’t her real father).

I think it’s the same pregnancy, but Paul being the father was a retcon - the explanation was that he’d met Kim in ‘the city’ at some point and they’d slept together. They glossed over the fact that Kim was 15 in the early episodes 😬 I think Paul was supposed to be 21, but I think he was aged by a couple of years once he became the hard-nosed manager of Lassiter’s.

Yes it was definitely history rewritten

I remember watching those old episodes on You tube then they were removed suddenly

Thanks @WomanStanleyWoman2.
It makes more sense now that I know Kim was of Japanese heritage.

I loved the Jane and Mike reconciliation but thought it a bit odd that when Des was encouraging him to go for it no-one, including Mike, so much as mentioned the fact he (Des) was married to her not so long ago.

I think Kylie had something wrong with her mouth/teeth or face. I mean she spoke about 5 words, the whole thing was bizarre, it was like she was miming and Jason was carrying out the actions? And yes…what was the explanation for S&C suddenly turning up??

Yes the Des-Jane dynamic was conveniently ignored while Clive and Mike were on the scene!

Shane Ramsey invited them to look at the new house he bought

I have the fanny gallops for guy pearce all over again😍

They did an interview on the day they filmed and she talked fine and plenty

Based on the actors ages, 30 years. The lads are 34/35 irl,
