@HoHoHoliday I was doing the same - noticed she was an inch or so shorter than Krista wearing trainers but Holly had on 3” (?) heeled boots.

greengreengrass25 · 15/11/2023 21:43

It was absolutely pathetic

What had Mel done in the first place to warrant blackmail from Kirista

Why couldn't she tell Toadie

Why was David in prison, was it to do with being unethical at hospital

Rummikub · 15/11/2023 21:59

Wasn’t David in prison cos he let that man die at the roadside. He threw away something from
his medical kit that could’ve saved him.

Thanks, I had forgotten that

Was it the thing with Harlow?

BessMarvin · 15/11/2023 22:02

He was in prison cos he failed the bail conditions. But was waiting for trial for failure to try to save Gareth when he was a doctor.

BessMarvin · 15/11/2023 22:04

Not sure why David called Paul Paul rather than dad near the end of the scene.

Rummikub · 15/11/2023 22:04

Gareth and I can’t remember her name. Dark hair. Not Harlow.

BessMarvin · 15/11/2023 22:04

Freya. Who is with Levi

Rummikub · 15/11/2023 22:06

Ah yes Freya! she was there that day too.

BessMarvin · 15/11/2023 22:04

I assumed that was deliberate to show they were somewhat estranged.

Rummikub · 15/11/2023 22:17

Yes I thought that too about using paul not Dad.

And saying once this comes out they cannot ever return?! Surely it can’t be as bad as Gareth?!

MiddleClassProblem · 15/11/2023 23:37

I just think of Holly being Roxy sized 🤷🏽‍♀️

I do feel we will get over the hump soon enough though and then things will het less weird.

theconfidenceofwho · 16/11/2023 00:04

No, she's definitely not petite like Roxy.

burnoutbabe · 16/11/2023 08:14

I have missed a load via being away but following here. Did anything happen yet to Mike? Last I heard he was off on a road trip around Scotland?

HoHoHoliday · 16/11/2023 09:06

@burnoutbabe He's still overseas. While on his road trip he got offered a job for a few months, and Jane plans to fly to the UK to join him for Christmas. Not sure how it will end, they can't keep his character invisible for too long.

burnoutbabe · 16/11/2023 10:53

Thanks

I assume they will give Jane a new man who is local so she dumps Mike (rather than him dump her)

MiddleClassProblem · 16/11/2023 11:25

I really wish she would go live in the U.K. though.

I’m assuming the boo boo clan will all be staying with her.

The extra bedroom rooms of all the houses haven’t had much use in the reboot!

Can anyone enlighten me as to who David, Aaron and Nicolette are. Also Ellie and Chloe?
I watched Neighbours when Scott and Charlene were about and watched the last episode ad it was the end of an era and was curious to see the old characters. I started watching when it returned to freevee. Managed to work out who was who but now with this flashback and Melanie's story I'm lost!

NemesiaPinkLagoon · 16/11/2023 17:48

Just caught up, I still don't really get the story! Not sure why Paul is coming out as the villain and why David and co left.
Is it that this was the final straw of Paul's behaviour?
Wonder how it'll continue next week. Sharon will come into it surely, as she recognised Eden.
Oh yeah and why was he back? To pester Paul for money?

David is a long-lost twin son of Paul's, conceived off-screen back in the days when you were watching. Aaron is his husband and Nicolette, Jane's daughter, is the mother of David's child, conceived via a spur of the moment DIY surrogacy.
Ellie is a niece of Susan's, and Chloe is her partner. and also Aaron's sister.

David is Paul's son and Leo's twin brother. They appeared looking for their estranged father in 2016 (I think) and turned out it was Paul.

Aaron is David's husband. Nicolette is Jane's daughter. She, David and Aaron are co-parents to Isla but they are not a 'throuple'.

Elly is Susan and Karl's niece and Chloe is Aaron's sister. They got together at the finale after and on again off again type thing.

Mybestusername · 16/11/2023 18:21

So what did Eden do with Krista's body?!

DahliaMacNamara · 16/11/2023 18:32

Is she even really dead?

greengreengrass25 · 16/11/2023 19:13

DahliaMacNamara · 16/11/2023 18:32

Is she even really dead?

Yes good point

The new Nicolette looks much older and her boobs have expanded or perhaps that dress was especially unflattering

Starburst8 · 16/11/2023 19:36

DahliaMacNamara · 16/11/2023 18:32

Is she even really dead?

I'm not sure but I'm gonna say no.
I don't know why and I've not read any spoilers but I just don't think she is.
