Have been a fan since I was a student. Am I the only one on MN?

Agree - it took the lady a bloody long time to get an appointment - the baby was already crying before Miranda got to it - she left it a couple of minutes - hugged it a couple of minutes then wondered around the complex.

I did like Bridget's hair as it was slightly longer and she looked really nice in that dress. Still hideous as a character and woeful as an actress.

I'm sorry but I cannot stand Donna's mum - she's driving me mad!! As is Bridget for that matter. Do we really believe that someone who has been adopted would be so happy to have her baby adopted rather than looked after by either Declan or her mum....grrrrr.

Sorry rant over now .

Haven't watched today, but get the gist re Miranda from these posts!

Love the way they tackle any kind of mental illness on Neighbours - in bite sized chunks, basically lasting no longer than two episodes. Anyone remember Lynn's PND? Serious enough for her to go shoplifting/abandoning her baby in a shopping centre, but a couple of weeks later when someone says "how's the PND?" the answer is a cheery "great thanks!" and the subject is never mentioned again!

Mind you they do the same with physical disabilities - I think everyone has had a turn in the cast wheelchair, but let's be honest no-one ever stays there long .....

BeautyandtheBreast · 08/05/2009 08:02

Think the producers must have some extra money this year - they employed a doctor that wasn't Karl! same hospital room though...

Divorcing Steve has actually made me like Miranda.

Flynnie · 08/05/2009 08:21

Oh yes Dr Levi. He must be the most out of work actor as he seems to have been available to turn up every now and again over the last ten years or so.

Agree that the Miranda storyline was daft.

Is there a thread where australian paced neighbours is discussed?

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 08/05/2009 11:39

Not that I know of but if you're in Oz you must have lots of rl gossip about the people in the show??

OP posts:
LovingTheRain · 08/05/2009 13:04

Am not in Oz, but watch at their pace courtesy of my sister

I have gossip but don't think i'd be allowed to post here incase it upsets people. But i have gos if anyone wants any!

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 08/05/2009 13:13

Ooh I love gossip - but, as you say, can get a bit thrown by some of it - viz. Dan going out with that Timmins girl who was half his age. Still I say bring it on...

OP posts:
Flynnie · 08/05/2009 14:58

Oh I always look on the Australian Neighbours site to see whats in store(very sad emoticon).

go on give us the gossip please.......

LovingTheRain · 08/05/2009 17:39

I don't want to give anything away to people who don't want to know - is there any way to have a 'spoiler' part on reply where the text only shows up if its highlighted or anything?

Ask me what you want to know and i'll tell you i think it will be easier than me telling you random things you may not be interested in

bambipie · 08/05/2009 18:00

Does that awfull Cass woman leave soon? Such a crappy actress.

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 08/05/2009 19:36

LovingtheRain - could you start a separate spoilers thread? Any rl gossip could be put in here e.g. I think Carmella and Oliver were an item - are they still?

OP posts:
LovingTheRain · 08/05/2009 19:40

started an aussie pace thread so if you have any questions about aussie spoilers you can now post in there

margotfonteyn · 10/05/2009 21:40

Just caught second half of Heartbeat and there was an Australian character in it and it was Stewie (aka Chukky??) used to be a policeman I think, and next week it's going to be an episode in Australia! How hilarious. I wonder how many Neighbours actors will be 'starring' in it.....(I am a Neighbours fan but have managed to miss it for last 6 months btw). Can't wait.

umbungo · 13/05/2009 15:21

i love me some neighbours!

just got back into it.

i think the zeke story line is so they could bring him back with a more interesting personality, rather than soppy, gangly, goodboy.

where did Ned go? and why does his son keep popping up?

wish they'd give the head teacher more of a character. is so boring, nice to look at though.

can't miranda go and live with some far off long lost cousin please! taking bridgette with her.

also the new newspaper?? paul owning and running a paper?! doesnt he run own lassiters?
what happened to the erindsborough news? didn't libby take photographs for them when was still at school?

verygreenlawn · 13/05/2009 16:29

Hurray Rachel left today!

If you happen to catch it later, watch out for the world's smallest tear - she's doing a full-on, over-acting sobbing, tear-wiping performance .... and there is just the tiniest bit of a tear she's managed to squeeze out!

And is it just me, or do the rest of the cast look insanely relieved she's going? Just look at Karl's face as they wave her off at the airport ....

Just Ty, Miranda, Bridget and the Dingoes to go and Neighbours will be back to normal!

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 21/05/2009 14:35

This thread has gone a bit quiet. Was in Dorset last week and unable to get C5. Toyed with the idea of catching up with the episodes online but I think I can probably work out what's going on.. Will check out the episode of Rachel's departure and the look on Karl's face. Loved today's bit with Steve and Lucas discussing life as they stared at the goldfish.

OP posts:
bambipie · 21/05/2009 17:20

Didn't Lucas look teeny tiny next to Dan when they were lying onthe grass. And why was he wearing tights under his shorts?

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 21/05/2009 17:38

Was surprised to see that Lucas had a bit of a belly- most un-Neighbours like.

OP posts:
BibiThree · 24/05/2009 20:12

Hello hello can I sign in? Lurve Neighbours.
Agree with Lucas having a belly - was , although he's clearly inferior to the mighty Dan.

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 26/05/2009 14:52

Welcome to the thread Bibi. Seems there are quite a few of us Neighbours fans lurking on MN - thought I might be the only one when I started this thread - and now we've almost had 300 posts!

OP posts:
bambipie · 27/05/2009 16:32

Poor Libby . Do we know how far along she was meant to be or what exactly the nature of her injuries are?

And Lucas, I think I have quite a soft spot for him.

SweetEm · 05/06/2009 20:01

My god, I hate Steph. She's just so convinced she's right all the time.
Time Ringo was written out too, I think.
