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.

Why isn't Jane back at work, she was absent for ages.

She is really annoying

EXACTLY! That made me chuckle.

I love this attention to detail. In home and away Mac had open heart surgery not that long ago and walks around in tiny tops with my scar. It's annoying. People have to live with lifelong scars.

I like the little tie things the lads had on.

Haha I thought this. They all to and from the coffee shop etc but suddenly a group of them couldn't walk home? I'd like an actual map of all the locations with distances

Omg yes an actual map of where everything is would be so good!

Found one that might be helpful

hardcoresets.com/neighbours/

That's the actual locations tho rather than where they're meant to be, cos the Nursery is always a drive away and no one goes there very often, for example.

I doubt this is how the envision it now but this is on Reddit from the 1992 annual

Photo didn’t upload!

@SleepingStandingUp It's the only one I could find

I am incandescent at the Aaron and Nicolette nonsense!

Is toadies exit storyline supposed to be some sort of showreel of his talents for future jobs? - spoiler, jutting out your bottom jaw is not a range

I'm sure I saw another map once which also showed Lassiter's is literally just behind them, and it's the school opposite it. Shocking that any of them drive there, lazy bunch of neighbours!

But according to this, Ramsay Street continues on?! There is a whole section of Ramsay Street we don't know about 😱 Just imagine how many new characters we could meet there.

To quote someone on Reddit:

"I think it depends on the plot. If somebody is about to walk in on something they shouldn’t (an affair, a crime, etc) it’s about a 2 minute walk away.
If somebody needs to hurry to an emergency before it’s too late, it’s a minimum 30-60 minutes away lol"

🤣 That’s so right!

I can see people getting a bus if they are wearing heals etc. I have no idea where the nursery is. When Sonya was there it seemed like it was near the lake but now ot seems like it’s miles away.

BTW what happened to the motel place that Steph had? And what happened to the yacht? Oh and the shed! We’ve lost that.

And what I never understand is time on soaps in general. So for example, it could be someone that's just found out they're pregnant and they'll be talking about a particular situation that's happened and 9 months down the line the baby arrives and they're still on the same conversation they were having 9 months ago. Not sure if any of that makes sense!

In my mind, the nursery was just next to where Sonya's big mural is, so I was surprised that Toadie and Nell said they rarely went there. I always assumed the mural/nursery were next to Lassisters but they've never really said so.

That motel - it was turned into a luxury spa and wellness centre, The Flametree. I think Steph was running it, remotely after she left, but Gary was the chef and he's now a pigeon. Presumably Steph still has it. I'd love her to return one day. She now runs her own life and wellness stuff in real life.

The yacht! Yes what happened to that?! Wasn't it co-owned by several characters with some argument over who used it when?

Same
TypIcal narc behaviour for Aaron to blame her for her reaction to his shitty behaviour and WTAF is wrong with Jane, she's hardly mother of the year.
Dreadful

Omg Toad and the jutting jaw, can't wait until he is gone
They have ruined him
RIP houseoftrouser

For the first time since the reboot I chose not to watch neighbours yesterday. I realised I was just angry watching lately. I really dislike Aaron and Jane, I hate what they’ve done to Toadie, Wendy is annoying and I don’t really like any of the other characters enough to stay. Holly and Mel are probably my favourites but I don’t want to watch a show where I kind of like two characters. I also feel like the writing has been quite amateur lately. The old humour isn’t there anymore and there isn’t enough drama - when there is drama it’s overwritten and cringey.
I might come back, I’ll keep reading the thread to see if it improves!

There’s a really odd mix with the writing of things either being over explained or nonsensical things happening. Of course Andrew takes Joe Public with him on police business and no one sticks up for Nicolette but it was important to tell us that Mel and were in separate carriages on the train…

Me too! I'm not a Nicolette fan either but I'm enraged on her behalf. Jane & Aaron's actions are unforgivable.

Caught up this weeks.
Laughed at terese in the ambulance with her pointy shoes sticking up.

Agree with pp that they've made toadie unlikable and that's a shame for a long standing character who I've grown up with.

Haz and his family renunion actually made me cry!

Forgot about pigeon gary 😂

So there looks to be a redemption arc for Felix do we think? Yes I coerced more catastrophe from wade.

Glad this thread is here as that was my first time watching since dd went to uni and we watch together usually.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if Felix becomes a resident. He could work in the garage and all will be forgotten by Christmas.

Ah forgot about the garage. Yes that could be a good option for Felix.

What is it with the new office space for paul? It looked like the small office Steph had ages ago.

Absolutely loved Remi and Cara slipping in the famous Neighbours' sig tune refrain (good Neighbours and good friends) with barely a snigger between them!

I enjoyed that too @Jaichangecentfoisdenom
