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

[ArabellaFishwife]

Nice new thread for when the old one wears out.

Yes Hollie

Put the money in your bedroom in a cupboard

Appreciation for the use of "rack off" here 👏 👏 👏

I don’t really like Nicolette but it’s really unfair how the other characters always involve themselves in her life. Kiri telling Remi and Kara about their argument and Kara having a go at her about it, Jane and Leo getting involved in what’s going on with Aaron.. seems a bit much. I’d be telling them all to get fucked and mind their own business.
Bare feet on show again today, why!? 🤢

Aaron was going drugs and not showing up for his daughter and she kept a log. Does that mean she should lose her job and home? It’s crazy! If it’s to get her in the shared house and Byron and/or in the cafe (does nicolette have a job anymore?) which is where I assume this is all going, could it just home have been she said she thinks she should move out for a bit to give Aaron space and Byron just deciding to do that as and go back to being a silent partner?

Yes Aaron is being awful.

Why is he involving Leo

I also thought Kiri was judgemental and tatty

Twatty

Also had to laugh about Lord Byron and his gang spiel

Yeah friendships all of 5 mins

But why was she still wearing her leather jacket when she was sat on the sofa with her bare feet up?

😂

It’s like the jacket is her personality. Come on now luv, you’re not Steph.

Prediction! Leo finds another investor to buy Byron and Nicolette out of the vineyard and they then buy the Harolds.

Don't know what Nicolette's family life has to do with her position in the vineyard. And really, if it's not okay for her to keep a Bad Aaron list, why is it okay for everyone else to call her out on their internal list of her past shit? Because Aaron was grieving, he got to opt out of being a dad, I suppose. Hmmm.
I don't even like new head Nicolette much, but she deserves better than this. .

Why are they all being such twats to Nicolette? Aaron was headed down a dark road, has everyone just forgot that he helped Krista relapse? That he just fucked off and left Nic to deal with everything? Yes he was grieving but she would have been a fool not to get her ducks in a row if that looked like a path he was going to continue on. She was putting her kid first.

I see a custody battle coming up.

This Nicollette storyline is making me want to switch off. Jane is a terrible mother, maybe that's why Nic's got trust issues.

I want Paul and Therese back together eventually, but not for a long time. (Loving the 'rack off' above)

I felt a bit sorry for Vera too.

Yes

Most mums, I've just got back from Queensland, can I get in the door etc

Jane just sat there looking pathetic and not sticking up for Nicolette

Leo has become so judgey and intolerant as well

I really don't see the point of Jane, all she does is stand there giving doe eyed judgement and occasionally having one too many and making a show of herself. Can we get rid of her and have Vera instead?

Meh, Jane has always been a shit mum so of all the reactions I’m least surprised by hers but Leo’s is crazy. Aaron was literally the reason Krista and be broke up and as @NoDishiForRishi said relapsed!

Why is everyone so fucking awful about this Nicolette thing! No Mel, Jane is not a great mum! This is such a bizarre plot.

And the other week Karl said to Holly that she had been doing a lot of online shopping recently so that would me she has been putting money on her card? Unless she’s just ploughing threw her wages and topping up with cash which feels too much plot logic for Neighbours atm…

And no Byron, it wouldn’t “literally kill him”.

The shunning of Nicolette is ridiculous. She just made a list and didn't do anything with it. Aaron DID those things on it, yet he's dad if the year.

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but as of yesterday I find it incredible that not a single person has even considered the possibility that Nic had a point.

Jane is bloody awful. Who would do that to their own daughter? And why is she the one who gets to say what happens with Isla? Literally all Nicolette did was take steps to protect her child when her other parent was doing drugs, drinking to excess and literally just buggering off, he wasn't putting Isla first then was he? But now he's acting all hard done too because his actions might have had consequences? He's got off bloody light.

Let's push Jane down the well.

I've watched today's. The tarring and feathering of Nic is ridiculous.

I'm not sure what point they're trying to make other than to get Nic into the shared house and potentially with Amira.

Her poor little girl!
(What do you mean that it's fiction)

Might chuck that croc in the well after her.

Yes, let’s separate a child from her mother because of a list, never mind that her mother is the only one around to do child care anyway (technically). Old Nicolette would have taken Isla with her and played the bio card, boo fucking hoo you bastards!

I love that most/all of us are not new Nicolette fans but are behind her.

I came on to talk about the Nicolette thing too. I’m glad to see we’re all in agreement 🙌🏻
So Aaron disappears multiple times, gets drunk, takes drugs, has a dodgy random stalker around Isla but says he’s sorry so it’s okay.. Nicolette writes a list about it, says sorry, but she’s thrown out of her home by her mother, separated from her daughter and shunned by all their friends//family/neighbours. Ridiculous writing. Aaron isn’t even related to Isla and Jane is her grandmother, how is Nicolette allowing them to do this?? Hopefully she’ll take Isla and run off with Amira.
I know it’s only a show haha but I’ve never liked Aaron. He’s got a quick temper and always acts hard done by. He used to be really horrible to Chloe at times. I remember when she’d had the bad news about her MND and he made it all about him.
And who needs enemies when simpering, hand wringing Jane is your mother?
Aaron and Jane for the well! Oh and self righteous Leo while we’re at it!

Another one on Team Nicolette on this one. Butt out, Jane!
