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.

That's so funny about Mike, I hadn't noticed!

And I thought Nell was born in New Year's Day so have their changed her age and birthday?

Isn't Karl going to be back for Christmas? I mean, it's 19 days yet till Christmas Day, so Mike has time to bike ride round Italy with Karl for 10 days and then fly back to Australia for Christmas with Sam, surely? (I have no idea who Sam's mum is, nor where she actually lives, there are huge gaps in my knowledge of Neighbours' characters' past lives!)

The sex talk from Remi to JJ was so cringe especially with the other brother there

Plus daft Krista with more money than sense

Sam’s mum lives in Perth apparently. Jane mentioned it.

I didn't mind the sex talk. I thought explicit enthusiastic consent was a great way to explain it.

Maybe the other Perth? 😆

I didn’t mind the sex chat as it was about consent and not detailed. Nell’s turning 16 so it makes sense although I do cringe that becoming a plot of when they do decide to do it.

The bit that annoyed me is that Nell kept saying things like “I miss school” or “now I can go back to school” when she didn’t stop going to school, she just went to a different one.

I don’t like it when a soap features all the drama on one person. I think Holly needs a break or a positive storyline. Can’t she just be Sadie’s best friend for a week? Be her ear for the Max stuff?

😂that’s a good explanation!

How is Geoffrey back working as a private detective/phone investigator, when he was a hotel I.T. repairman before?

Only a matter of time before Chelsea reappears, pregnant, and probably does a runner leaving the baby with Cara and Remi.

I've found that storyline really irritating. She had a hysterectomy - major surgery. Then a few days later is strolling around the hotel complex back to work. It takes around 6-8 weeks to actually recover... Not to mention that after being grumpy, then crying, she seems to have emotionally recovered.

Excited to see Tess back, probably briefly given that she's in jail. I liked her character. She'd be a good rival for Paul if she came back for good.

And don’t forget that the hysterectomy was on top of major abdominal surgery! She’s had 2 serious surgeries in about a week

Max is still really annoying me. Smarmy entitled git.

The American blows hot and cold like a complete psycho. I can't see her staying in it for long.

I was sad that toadie was leaving (especially after they made the ridiculous storyline out of nowhere), but now I don't understand why he's back. I thought he was only going to appear a couple of times, like Lucas.

Yet more Holly-related drama. This is really overkill! (I am not helped by the fact that the way the character looks reminds me far too much of the Poison Dwarf of Dallas fame (only older MNetters may know what I mean!).)

How did Nicolette know she was into her to start with itms.

Sorry, @suburburban, I don't know what itms stands for?

If that makes sense

I mean N with Yaz

I think she just 'got a vibe' so asked her out.

OMG in the 'coming up' bit at the end of today's episode... what in the hell kind of jacket is Paul wearing?! . That is SO not from his wardrobe.

Oh and surely Tess's lawyers would have discovered that 'Leah' wasn't a real lawyer - or if she was, that that wasn't the right number for her (and anyway since when did lawyers work via text rather than an actual letter?)

Max is getting into proper stalker territory.

“Games are fun!”

entitled little shit. Maybe they are doing a consent story line?

I'm finding it a bit dull at the moment. I think I'm just suffering from Holly fatigue and a lack of interest in American Guest of the Month. I'm sure it will perk up.

Has there been any proof that Yaz is actually Yaz? Could she really be Leah posing as Yaz?

Today's episode with Nicolette calling Jane's bum bag a fanny pack sounded odd. I'm sure Australians call it the same as us and it's the Americans that call it that.

Agreed. I lived in aus for several years,.and although they'd know what fanny pack meant, (as do we) they use the term bumbag. At least, anyone over 35 would do. I'm assuming they used that phrase for the (tiny) American audience.

If the American audience helps keep neighbours going I can cope with Fanny packs 😂
