Will the Paul/Terese/Toadie/Mel quadrangle resolve itself? Will the Baddie Builders ever return? Will Eden get his comeuppance? All these and many more, coming up on Neighbours.

Rhetorical questions 😀

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 16/07/2024 15:44

Well, I knew that was coming, but it still doesn't make me like it! (End of today's episode.)

Bingeing Neighbours

Jane is Miss shirtdress

Starburst8 · 16/07/2024 17:12

I've changed my settings but Freeve still insists on playing a new show whilst the credits are on 😩

HoHoHoliday · 16/07/2024 22:03

The Mike-Jane ending was so disappointing! Not at all emotional. And why have him find someone else already? They should have given Jane the power of dumping.

And how irritating is Nicolette?! When they changed the actress they also changed the character's personality and it's so annoying to watch. Old Nicolette never behaved like a child.

Toadie's moments are making me really emotional. As soon as that East17 song came on I thought of the day Sonia died 😭

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 16/07/2024 22:10

I really wish they'd just bumped Mike off at the start of the reboot. It's a waste of bringing him back at all doing it this way.

I have a friend staying who hasn't watched Neighbours in years and we were crying laughing as I was giving them plot line synopses of all the characters watching it earlier. When you think about it Neighbours really is stark raving bonkers and that's why I love it!

Every so often the costume dept totally nails Jane's outfits. It's few and far between but when they get it right, she looks amazing!

Yes but lovely seeing Guy again.

Laughed when Jane was off to Scott and Charlene's. I knew she would say that before she even said it😀

Head that disappears during term time

Yes the plots are crazy

suburburban · 17/07/2024 11:12

@TomBradysLeftKneecap

Yea she looked nice. Actress has long legs so it sits well

But it was a bit like Therese and her wrap dresses

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 17/07/2024 15:51

Well, that hasn't happened for a long time! Got so bored with today's episode I'm not even bothering to finish it. Party on, Wendy!

MiddleClassProblem · 17/07/2024 16:03

Yeah Nicolette and Wendy are not the combo for joint lead stories in an ep. Although I do find Wendy less annoying these days.

I’m mad that Nicolette was such a wonderful complexed character and now she’s reduced to an adult teenager.

DahliaMacNamara · 17/07/2024 18:18

Does anyone else find Kiri an incredibly dull character? I always struggled to see what Nicolette saw in her, and now of course the reverse is also true.

It felt like Nicolette was on something for this episode, she was manic.

MiddleClassProblem · 17/07/2024 19:19

It was confusing that we saw her drunk but the next day she was still the same.

Kiri is a bit meh to me. She’s fine as a side character and a friend to Mac and Freya but she’s a bit vanilla.

She doesn't seem to worry about childcare

NemesiaPinkLagoon · 17/07/2024 20:24

@TomBradysLeftKneecap I love filling people in on what the characters have been up to, always so funny!

I like Kiri. I thought she was quite cool when she came in towards the end of the 'old era' and she has a nice voice. Hopefully she can have some good storylines of her own.

Wondering if that is the end of the Aaron storyline...

Rummikub · 17/07/2024 21:18

MiddleClassProblem · 15/07/2024 09:51

That was annoying. I hate that he also has potential found someone else like lovely Mike would have an emotional affair. As if.

Nicolette is being written more and more child like each week.

That's what I thought too about mike having an emotional affair. Nothings happened yet but he might love her!
I do like Sam's one liners.
Agree she could over hear something and give poor Sadie a break as the keeper of secrets.

I don't know what is going on with toddler Nicoletten

HoHoHoliday · 17/07/2024 21:23

Mariposa123 · 17/07/2024 19:14

It felt like Nicolette was on something for this episode, she was manic.

It was like she was drunk for most of it. Barging into Toadie and Therese's house and flopping down on the sofa shouting that she wanted something from them. Barging into the pub and shouting at Logan. Barging into the cafe and shouting at Krista and who the hell is that other man who apparently is senior in the hotel?
Nicolette is an annoying character already but this was still really weird scripting.

Kiri is dull as dishwater and feels like a box-ticking character.

Wendy - I'm not enjoying her drunken partying but I'm so pleased she is finally getting a storyline. Her character seems capable of so much more but she's been really overlooked in the script writing so far.

suburburban · 17/07/2024 21:50

The party seemed to be in broad daylight.

What does Wendy do at uni, she doesn't seem to do any work for her course

Rummikub · 17/07/2024 22:38

Isn't it a design course? I've heard mention of sone arts projects.

The uni friends are annoying.

She WAS drunk, wasn't she? They had celebratory drinks at home and then she went off so I assumed it was all because she was drunk

MiddleClassProblem · 19/07/2024 06:42

She was drunk the night before when she went to Toadies but the next day she seemed to still be the same

Mariposa123 · 19/07/2024 09:51

Yeah that’s what confused me. The scene shifted to the next day but her behaviour was as if she went straight from one place to another.

Also the director for that episode had obviously learnt lots of new camera techniques they were keen to try! Which sort of added to the chaos of the episode.

crumblingschools · 19/07/2024 09:55

There do appear to be quite a few continuity errors in Neighbours. Or days just merge into each other. One minute a character is in one place then suddenly they are somewhere else

I’m glad it’s not just me who thinks this. Sometimes I feel like I’ve missed an episode, will check and I haven’t. I think a lot must happen off screen because they often seem to talk about things happening that I have no recollection of but it never used to be like this and is really confusing!
