Neighbours: Toad's evaluating his life choices after a dark night of the soul in the desert, but what happens to the kids, once he remembers them? Will there be a reunion for Paul and Terese, or are they going to stay good friends? NO SPOILERS

Nice new thread for when the old one wears out.

I mean Dex

Do we know what's going on with Andrew?

Maybe they're doing a mental health story again but better than Toadie's MH storyline?

My assumption is that Wendy needs to go away for a bit so it’s a storyline to give her an excuse for that. I feel that maybe then Felix could move in and help him heal before she comes back. That can cause a bit of tension with Cara but if Andrew is a wreck then she might relent “but stay away from JJ”.

That’s my guess at least.

I think this applies more to Australia but I think it'll probably apply here too.

It seems to be regularly number 2 in their charts so it might be that we just end up ahead but maybe we will have a Christmas break and they won’t?

When Terese woke up at the end I exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Which was a bit embarrassing given that I was in the staff canteen.

That was a really dramatic scene! I also shouted out loud 😂

I really like that Terese's alcoholism is ongoing, it's much more realistic than a lot of soap storylines where serious issues are miraculously recovered from.

I have started to wonder recently if Holly is being written out soon. She's had such a traumatic year, as seen in her flashbacks today, and now she's potentially facing jail. I wonder if that's going to be her exit.

Still hoping the Rodwell family will expand at some point. They're in that big house, just three of them. It's crying out for extended family/new characters.

I feel like Holly has so much to give. She deserves to have her story where she finds her purpose. Also she’s our main young single so we need her for romance.

I agree @MiddleClassProblem - she's really grown on me & I love her character now!

when did Jane get that sun room area? 😱

Why is Jane going to paint Mike's kitchen? Has she bought the house off him and I missed it?

I hope judgey Susan, Jane and co will feel guilty for keeping Therese away from Paul when she really needs his support. I loved the cactus he sent her.

This surprised me too! I always thought it led to the garden

Maybe Toady built it for her with Cara when they were building his lol

I'm behind. Vic has just returned.is it weird I actually think he's a good looking guy for his age? Or does that mean that I'm getting old?

I loved the cactus gift too

Nah he’s well fit

I just looked him up (Craig Hall) on IMDb. It is worth a peek and he is only 50 which the photos clearly show!

But how old are you? You might be getting old too lol. But yeah, he's pretty much the same age as my DH so that's ok

Felix isn't particularly hot but he does rock the Tram uniform

😂 I think we established I’m a bit younger than you. Well younger than your DH. I’m just a baby.

Meh, I've decided it's fine, he's got even with us being so young 🤣

*hot

I had a proper crush on Craig Alan Hall when he was Dr Jack Duncan in APTCH. The beard ages him I'd say, he could lose the beard and look ten years younger.

Am I the only one who saw that cactus as a phallic gift? 🤭

Oh no... Nell and her bad acting.

Definitely a bit phallic, but I'm glad they concentrated on the message and left it to our dirty minds to think that.

I also thought that re: the cactus!

Hope this isn't the start of Nell coming back...

I wasn't watching neighbours when Terese had her alcohol issues initially (watched in the 80/90s and restarted when they announced it was getting cancelled). I think they've been handling the relapse really well!
