The return of Neighbours! Who’s going up the aisle? What’s Reece up to? Did everyone else get trapped in the well? NO SPOILERS

[MiddleClassProblem]

Welcome back to our wondrous show!

I’ve already watched it and ready to discuss!

As ever no spoilers here.

Ha same 😂

And I think it’s distasteful she’s trying to set up Mackenzie with someone else. Possibly to absolve her guilt.

Me too!

Totally agree about mischa Barton. Her accent is so over the top American I can barely stand to listen to it (to think I cried when she died in the OC).

But just to add a bit of positivity to the thread I would like to big up little Hugo. I think he might be my favourite character and the actor isn't bad either. Will be very sad when they inevitably fast forward his age and change his face.

She was babysitting Leo's daughter the other day

I noticed that! But not keeping a proper eye on her. Had her back turned to abigail in the coffee shop.

Has anyone been having issues with Freevee today? I can't download episode 13!

Me neither @Whatthetrolley - so annoying!

It's worked. I've had to download the new update for my fire TV and then clear the cache on the freevee app, but I'm watching now!

Did anyone notice the Amazon envelope in amongst the remains of the cushions that Mackenzie found? Subtle...

Yes, I did.

Ohhh product placement!! I was trying to figure out a plot line 😂

There has been so much blatant product placement since it returned. It brings in money for the show, but it really is quite in your face!

I must still be focussing on the room changes that I haven’t really noticed!

I hadn’t noticed either.

I'm not enjoying it much if I’m honest. I can’t put my finger on it but it feels SO different. The acting feels wrong.

Im persevering for now because I loved neighbours and I’ve been watching it for as long as I can remember, first with my mum and then with my kids

Watched it with dd today and saw the branded envelope.

I like that mike is still there in spirit. Laughed when jane brandished those uk flags at terese and toadie.

Won't be long before Mike is bumped off though? How long does a trip to Hull take? 😉 All this talk of "We've got all the time in the world to be together..."

I know 🙉
But hopefully not for awhile.

When does Mackenzie actually go to work? A lawyer and working for the council....yet seems to be hanging around doing nothing all the time !

Lol yes she does

This seems to be quite prevalent in soaps.

Todays was like an advert for the Australian Tourist Board. I honestly can't stand this new reboot but yet here I am, watching every episode yelling at the tv.

It'll settle I’m sure.
I keep seeing glimpses of what I enjoy about it.
I love seeing Paul and terese spark off each other. So much more natural than with toadie.

All the fuss about saving the school - if I lived there I'd be fed up with a school that seems to change it's uniform every academic year 😂
It was those tiny dresses and blazers last time I looked and now it's sports wear.
(Although I much prefer the sports wear style)

Im loving it - just wish it was broadcast on a regular channel so that i can set it to series record rather than bothering with the annoying freevee app!

I’d also be slightly concerned about sending my kids to a school that had had a number of deadly fires, a crazed teacher who tried to kill everyone with some kind of crazy gas, an escaped prisoner who took shelter there with her baby son, a siege and about 17 explosions.

Not so much heart of the community as a complete disaster from a health and safety point of view.
