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.

I thought it was nice that Karl was giving Holly advice - she doesn’t seem to have anyone else in her corner! Also everyone seems to forget she was with Eden and that weird love triangle with Krista; she doesn’t pick men well! But equally she probably has some trauma from that situation (plus the near drowning) and none of her friends seem that bothered

Also they need a proper teen gang. There seem to be several teenage characters but they never interact. Like JJ being weird in his own at the party.

Joining as I try to watch and can’t always.

Wasn't he underage when we saw Christa ban the other kids

Yes very weird

Just like the rooftop pool incident, don't they have cctv in the pub? Lassiters could really do with updating their security, given the amount of things that happen there.

Ok the woman watching Nicolette looks like Scarlett, is it the same actress?

i knew I recognised her, but couldn’t work out where from. In the coming up next sequence, Nicolette mentions a Sasha being back - are we supposed to know who that is?

I've done some digging and I think I know who Sasha is.
Without spoiling it, it all happened in the 2 year gap

Is she a new character then?

@Starburst8 Can you post on the spoiler thread as I’m too lazy to look? 😂

❤🙏

Wendy is so annoying. But also, I’m pretty sure that a makeup artist would earn more money and have more opportunities than someone working in childcare 🤔

About Sasha?

Just posted in spoilers for anyone wanting a little brief on Sasha and "Scarlett" look alike.

Is it really such a big deal JJ was at the pub

Most 17 year olds try this or did in my day

Ooh why how did he get away with being there in the first place

It's odd that he was there on his own, even odder that his parents didn't know where he was.
Talking about odd, where's the other kid? Not seen him in awhile.

It was odd that he was there alone, I agree. It felt a bit creepy.

@Starburst8 It's a different actress, though they do look similar!

@greengreengrass25 I didn't understand the drama about that either! He's supposed to be 17 and went out to a pub, didn't buy a drink, didn't get drunk. At 17, I'm surprised everyone was so shocked.

The weird bit was him making suggestions about him and Sadie getting together- at least the Mas shut down that idea!

I know and he didn't seem to have any interaction with the other "mates" or was he lying about going to their house at all

Odd his brother has disappeared

Wendy is helicopter parent

Wendy's character has gone off the scale recently. I don't remember what she was like in old Neighbours, perhaps she wasn't in it long enough to form much of a character. It was weird today though when Sadie was not wanting to go to uni but Wendy went online and signed her up for classes.

Ok I'm behind so bear with me

Nell's party at the beach. The party was just her, twitch, Dad, step Mom, ex step Mom, proxy Nan and Gramps, policeman and wife. What kind of party is that?

A cheap skate soap opera one😅

Also Aaron is a hot barman. Don't know if it's the uniform or what.

The way Not-David looked at Krista when she walked in, I hope he isn't going to go there. He's well older

I feel like the JJ pub plot is for the US audience. His Sadie crush is coming out of left field and full on for something combing out of nowhere.

Wendy in old Neighbours was just annoyingly dumb. She was like a muppet. A literal muppet.
