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.

Thanks @HoHoHoliday

he must not have thought he’d be fake limping for decades!

I didn’t feel much chemo in that so but I feel it in the normal eps.

I wanted some jeopardy and then it was just all twee and a bit meh. An odd ep with very different pace and music.

I'm caught up on episodes not chat

Re Therese and Paul. Their dysfunction is what makes it passionate I guess. It's all or hell. But is Therese gonna break his heart with this reticence to show anyone they're together?

I think Yaz is Yaz, genuinely his brother thinking he's been murdered. Poor Holly. I've have been "hang on Size, I need a trip to Italy!!"

Oooh Janes ex / Nic and Byron's Dad is joining Home And Away. Hopefully still as hot as in Neighbours.

Max. I really hope they don't get him together with her. The whole "boy takes liberties and is generally a dick, girl can't resist" is so yuck. I'm hoping he'll either back off or he'll try something and she's slap him HARD. Maybe get her to slap him either way. I really don't want her to fall for his teenage boy crap.

And imagine having sex with Max after Jiggalo Byron. One night and she'd be begging for Byron to take her back!!

They name dropped Chelsea last night. Check. Therese and Paul back together. Check. Geoffery still around. Check. Chelsea is definitely coming back for a paternity dispute story..

Good maths! Neighbours maths lol

Also an Incel kind of story for Max and Sadie.

I didn’t see Geoffrey - when did he appear?

Yaz gave him Heath's phone to analyse and find something to incriminate Holly.

Ffs . I want Paul and Therese to be happy together. Stupid scheming Chelsea - it had better be Geoffrey's.

Love the paper files and Holly's info so readily available, surely everything would be on pcs now with strong passwords 😀

I think it must have a break if suddenly it’s Christmas Eve? Unless next week is the Ma’s in New York?

I think tomorrow is the last one before Xmas.

Yaz - perennial neighbours problem. Is she really into Nicollete? Or is she playing her along? I can’t tell if it’s bad acting or baddie acting…

How did Yaz manage to get into that office without smashing a door or window? And lol that when she turned off her torch it was light in the room anyway.

It's Christmas Eve already and everyone was just at work as normal and going about daily life. No one was doing a panic last minute run to the supermarket. All so chilled.

Poor Vera ☹️

All adding randos to their Christmas guest list too

Also with JJ’s crime record would he not need to apply for a visa for the US rather than a quick esta (assuming aus is the same as uk)

If Chelsea is pregnant it had better bloody not be Paul's! I'm sure we saw her with a negative pregnancy test just before they split.

Had to laugh at the Yaz storyline. She had any other night but, no, I'll wait til someone can potentially wake up and realise I'm not there in the middle of the night. Not suspicious at all. And what's the point of an unlocked filing cabinet? And Holly wouldn't still be fangirling her because she's been horrible to Holly several times now.

Yeah and apparently the therapist shares the office with someone else too (she said so in explanation of things being moved about) so surely the cabinet would have been locked!

Also I had thought that once Yaz read the therapists notes she'd had a change of heart realising that Holly was actually nice and being honest about how heath had affected her, and traumatised by what she'd done.

Bloody chelsea.

Noooooo!

we have to wait until Jan 6th 😱

oh no!!
Was there always a break?

Nicolette and Arran are so lazy and Jane is such a simpering mug.

Poor Vera

Where did Curtis disappear to, why doesn't she move in with him

Omg that trailer!

Thought it was lovely that Paul invited Holly for dinner. Couldn't work out why the turkey dinner was laid out buffet style, going cold whilst everyone ignored it.

Hated the Nicollette stuff about how happy she was to have a second chance, when it was Jane (and Aaron) who behaved absolutely appallingly by kicking her out.

Loads of new faces!
clear shot of pregnant Chelsea

With a 2 week gap coming up I was doing some googling. And found a reddit thread which linked back to this episode being one of the early ones where it started to be obvious that Paul and Therese would get together. I liked reading it - brought back memories and just seemed so typically 'neighbours'. Old style neighbours. (Obviously I still like it now, but it isn't quite the same). Thought some of you might enjoy reading it too. (Don't get caught down a rabbit hole re-reading every episode )
