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.

And Jane's! She's clearly been doing renos on Mike's buck.

I can't decide if I like it or not, felt the ending was too out of the blue to be real

I was waiting for the twist I just didn't quite know what. Really can't understand it, also hoping it will be a dream!?!

Kennedy kitchen - I mean who turns a kitchen island around!

It felt really American - lots of product placement - make up more 'done' and it felt a little over acted at time.

Still loved it though and will watch!

I was literally like WTF when I watched it this morning. I'm really not sure how I feel.

just watched it, gutted!! loved how it finished the last series, alot of the oldies gone too which is disappointing. But we will see.......

Yeah, that was a big fat no from me. It was like watching a cheap reincarnation. Who knew how much I’d miss the Boo Boos!

I noticed this! The way it's positioned doesn't look right.

Enjoying it now

Yes Kenedy kitchen looked odd

All a bit confusing
Nice to see Imogen and Daniel though

I didn’t like the marriage. Poor Paul.

Can we agree on a time when we can actually post specifics without it being a spoiler? It's very tricky when we're all watching on our own timetables. Next day maybe?

Another WTF response to the end. And I also noticed the kitchen, wondering who's house they were in at the beginning.

It's too weird, still hoping for a dream sequence and what year are they supposed to be in????

There's a spoiler thread

Me too! 🤣 isn't it daft what we react to!

I got a bit choked up when Susan first started talking. DP looked at me like 'WTF' when he saw 😂

Well, yeah, but I don't go there. I just wondered if we could agree on when to stop speaking in riddles on this one. I don't want to spoil things for myself or anyone else.

I dunno I’m on the fence. I’m an early watcher atm but that might change. Normally if I want to avoid spoilers I just avoid socials though.

It’s really hard with its streaming. I think next day is too far because then some have watched the next ep. But maybe normal neighbours drop times? Choose from either lunch or tea time?

Although if we all are happy we can just post when we’ve watched it, no riddles and avoid it if you don’t want the risk?

I don’t mind either way.

I screamed at the ending!

It’s ridiculous, but I loved it. And really comforting. I’m the same age as Neighbours and it’s always been around. It felt weird that it wasn’t on for the last 12 months.

I’ll be reinstating Neighbours time, which is usually straight after the kids have gone to sleep 😂

Ok, I’m guessing it’s safe to say by now, but just in case: episode spoiler ahead!

WTF! How are Toadie and Terese getting married?!?! I cannot think of a plausible way to get from both of their relationships in the finale to then getting married today!

Also, did anyone get the feeling that Jane was massively hinting that Mike is going to pop his clogs soon?

And Susan no longer the principle?? I wonder who has taken over…

I avoid threads on the Archers/H&A/Casualty till I've listened to/watched them, and I'll do the same with this one.

I too was shocked by the marriage.

I assumed Susan has retired (hence the gift.)

I did enjoy most of it, it mostly felt like Neighbours, and I liked them referring back to the past and so on. But... oh, who am I kidding! I get wound up by the Archers and Casualty and Home & Away and I used to get wound up by Neighbours, but I kept watching in case it got good again. So this will be the same.

Also, exactly a year ago today was my first day back home after my prize Neighbours holiday to Melbourne- it was 12th September we went to Pin Oak Court.

That's what we said, and by the time we had got over that we had to rewind at least 5 mins!!

My son was catching the product placement all the time - it bypassed me. Perhaps I am now no longer the target audience!

Happy Ramsaversary!

It’s lovely to be sharing it all with you again!

I would like to say why do they have to get married? Why can’t they just be together?

So happy to have Neighbours back! Felt like a strange episode as no old stories to be picked up, just introducing lots of new ones.

Loved seeing all the old characters. Looks like there could be some good stories coming up, with Jane & Mike. And Harold.

End was shocking! I had a feeling that Therese wouldn't be marrying Paul, but still wasn't expecting that. Hope we get a convincing back story although not sure how they will carry it off.
