Nice new thread for when the old one wears out.

I wish they could bring back Lou. I always preferred him to Harold.

I thought that was the exit wound from being shotby Heath?

Lou was such a legend! Although not liking Harold surely is blasphemy 😉

Lou made Harold I think, he definitely needs a comic sidekick to counter his bumbly-ness otherwise he does get a bit tedious. I do like Harold though.

Harold has always struck up mentoring relationships with the younger characters, that's always been his thing, he even fostered some back in the day. I love Harold! I'm glad he's back, it feels like the show has a grandfather.

Lou, as far as I heard, is not well. He was too ill to take part in the final episode filming.

i hold my hands up, I’m guilty!!

Yeah? I heard about Lou not being well. Bless him.

I also think they should bring back Dorothy Burke. I loved her 😂😂.

Byron and Sadie on Seafarers Bridge over the Yarra

I find Harrold annoying as well

Totally agree it seemed really odd that whoever called it in just disappeared and left therese in the smoking car!!

Love the way anyone seems to be able to drive the car, no worrying about contacting their insurance company

We are experiencing higher than normal call volumes etc

I wonder why they changed the Varga-Murphy's shot now when there is no change to the characters in it?

I get tweaking certain shots because god forbid Mac and Haz appear for an extra day or two while Toadie gets his shit together and pisses off.

I wonder where Terese will be. Whether Nell and/or Hugo stay or go permanently, they clearly want us to think they're GONE gone and Paul is in a brand new titles shot already.

Re: titles - I wondered about the varga Murphy's too - seems pointless!!

Also really hoping to get rid of closed eye Nell and Hugo too 🙏 (perhaps she can take JJ too, not a fan!)

In Australia you insure the car, not the person. So (with permission) anyone can drive anyone else's car.

I was catching up with both Neighbours and myself, so I expect I missed it whilst fannying about with something else, but why did Terese get into that particular car? It seems like a really weird thing to do. 'Don't fancy the minibus right now, but look! How convenient'.

They didn't show the part where she chose to take Haz's car. I think the idea was to leave the episode on a cliffhanger on who could have taken the car and be in danger.

Nice to see a tiny bit of push back for Saint Aaron. I still think Nic needs to tell them all to fuck off though. And Jane can still get down the well and take her insipid, doe eyed, hand wringing with her.

I shook my head at Aaron indignantly pointing out to Nicolette that 'You made the list'. Old head Nic would have countered with 'Yes, but I didn't make up the list, did I, Dad of the Year?'

He is absolutely insufferable without David.

Where is Paul and Krista's new office? Why have they moved? I seem to have missed something.

Those two have the most unprofessional approach to business I've ever seen!

Nic is one of my least favourite characters but I am enraged by the baby snatching antics of Jane and Aaron. I want her to take her daughter back and tell them to rack off!!!!!

This Nicolette and Aaron storyline has me on the fence, on one hand she made the list (it was all valid points) but on the other he kicked her out, effectively taking Isla away from her... Why on earth would she sign the adoption form? He would be able to potentially take Isla away from her... Though they both don't have a great track record so going to court wouldn't be clear cut if he has adoption rights

I think he’s adopting her like a step dad so Nicolette is not signing over parental rights.

Ypu didn’t miss anything it was that random. Kara was too drunk to drive so suggested Krista take it back, then it crashed and we had Terese didn’t fancy the bus. It’s a very cheap plot especially when they can walk easy enough so could pick it up the next day…

I meant as in she'll be signing so he does get parental rights alongside her. It means legally he'd have as much say as she currently doesnif he adopts Isla, where as at the moment he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.
