In honour of the finale, can we have a thread about the most memorable moments over the years? I haven't watched for many years now but as a kid it was on every single day.
Moments/characters I remember:
A spider falling into someone's from above the mirror in the car making her accelerate and knock down and kill another character (I think it was Cheryl?)
Joe Mangles dog Bouncer.
Joe Mangle's wife dying by being shot at in some sort of duck enclosure (I was very young for that one so could have got that wrong).
Fancying Billy and Lance and having posters of them on my bedroom wall.
A curly haired, husky voiced girl being shot. Was she called Cody?
A wheeler dealer character called Lou.
Anyone else?!

Lucy faking being blind after getting stuck in a drain and Scott figuring out that she was faking is a storyline that I'm convinced I made up because no one seemed to remember it but me
Think it was the original Lucy with short dark hair

Wasn’t Paul in a coma at some point?
who was the Robinson girl Lucy played by at least 2 actresses and never referred to again.

Lucy was frequently in it as an adult in her last incarnation and was in the last episodes!

Lucy was the blond one in the blue dress in the last episode who was encouraging Paul to get back with Therese.
took me a while to recognise her but it was the same actress.
the original one was small with dark hair and seemed to constantly have a blocked nose. Then there was an older girl who played her who looked completely different, then when the character came back it was this hot blond girl!

I thought Melissa Bell, Natalie imbruglia and Kylie- all absolutely beautiful women- have destroyed their faces with bad plastic surgery and/or fillers. It was really sad to see.
Jackie Woodburn on the other hand has aged naturally and is still absolutely stunning. Ditto Guy Pearce.

I always thought helen Daniels was the most lovely person. I used to wish she was part of my family. Very emotional last night seeing her again.
I think my mother had a bit of a thing for Jim R back in the 80s!

Oh and Susan losing her memory and thinking she was a teenager. I can't remember how that happened, I think someone whacked her on the head.
What was the name of the Kinski dad who married Susan (in one of her break ups from Karl) and then died?

She was in some of the flashback scenes, I’m pretty sure the actress passed away a few years back.
HaveringWavering · 30/07/2022 11:04
I missed that but, when did she appear?

Yes she did. But the actors who played Madge and Doug were there in reality (although ghosts in the story).
When they appeared I shouted "oh god, Neighbours has made a deepfake!" Before realising that the actors weren't actually dead.
I may have been a little emotional (and pissed).

There was a classic line in the last couple of weeks about Lucy changing her looks over the years, "almost like she had different heads". I think the script writers were having fun in the last weeks.
