Does anyone remember peppers boyfriend Adam??
He was well worth watching neighbours for!!!

changer22 · 12/02/2009 22:18

I thought Lucas had been on Heartbreak High?

changer22 · 12/02/2009 22:19

Just Googled - he was Rivers on Heartbreak High!

If anyone is still with me, he went off with the blonde teacher who in real life was the last person to see Michael Hutchence alive.

I can't believe the things I know. I need to get out more.

I am another secret Neighbours and Home and Away fan!

I get really annoyed if the children wake up from their nap before H&A has finished.

Libby has a new man every minute, whereas Steph who is really cool and gorgeous doesn't have much luck.

Karl is brilliant. He also has the amazing power of always being at the hospital even when we have just seen him at home babysitting Ben. Ben annoys me.

Hello lulalullabye!!! How's Melbourne today?

Ivykaty44 · 12/02/2009 22:34

I can remember when Elle was in a travel cot in the lounge and Paul Robinson was married to ehr mum - oh that is such a long time ago (I actulaly think they have made elle older than she should be

It is such a happy soap, not all the shouting and rows that are in so many of the other soaps.

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 13/02/2009 00:11

Sorry to break more distressing news but I think I read somewhere that Pepper's boyf Adam is gay in rl. Also surely has to rate as one of the worst actors in Neighbour's history. Oliver's older brother who was only there for a little while was gorgeous. I think he went off to try and make it in films in the US. (I know WAY too much about this programme). I read a couple of years ago that Neighbours was Philip Pullman's guilty pleasure.

Isn't it odd how they never let Zeke keep a girlfriend for very long? I wonder if they might try and out him as gay at some point. Obviously he and the brainy girl (from family whose name I can't remember - I miss her -she was really smart and it was refreshing to have a character who wasn't conventionally attractive) were an item for a while but they were more just good friends really.

Thinking about it re. Toadie going out with someone in his league - Kelly is really still way out of his league - she is just overweight.

Melbourne pretty decent today tnmm, nice and sunny and warm. Still gutted about dan though the little cradle snatcher !!

VFemme · 13/02/2009 03:07

Another fan here. DS comes running from the other side of the room when he hears the theme tune...

bluebump · 13/02/2009 10:41

Oh yes extremelychocolateymilkroll, Oliver's older brother was one of the most gorgeous hunks to grace Neighbours ever in my opinion! I was very sad when he left! Wasn't Adam (Pepper's boyfriend) in Hollyoaks too?

I'm glad someone said Dan's brother was in Heartbreak High, I knew i'd seen him somewhere before! Another Aussie soap I used to watch religiously!!

Nic13ky · 13/02/2009 11:54

Am loving all this talk about Neighbours...but has anyone got the gossip on the story lines....whats coming up to look forward to...come on someone must know something??!!!

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 13/02/2009 12:05

You can look on the Australian Neighbours website if you want to ruin the anticipation!

Does anyone remember the really cute guy who played a mechanic years ago? This is him now. This was him then.

WelshJellyBelly · 13/02/2009 12:30

Benjamin hart who played Adam (Peppers boyfriend) played Foz in Hollyoaks (Nancys boyfriend)

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 13/02/2009 12:43

Neighbours is my only Australian soap - well apart from The Sullivans - I am old - and Sons and Daughters. Grace from the Sullivans popped up in Neighbours - see [[http://www.perfectblend.net/features/connect-sullivans.htm here]. I wish Tom from the Sullivans had turned up - he was divine.

Billy aka Jesse Spencer from Neighbours is now in House with Hugh Laurie.

TwoIfBySea · 13/02/2009 19:08

Tom did turn up! He was Bobby Hoyland. No, wait, that was John Sullivan maybe? God I was really young when it was on. I just remember when he showed up on Neighbours thinking "he was so lush in The Sullivans and now he's Boyd's Grandpa!"

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 13/02/2009 19:23

I think that was John who was also cute but Tom was my favourite. An Australian friend of mine did say that Tom was gay in real life - as so many of the really cute ones are.

What's happened to Libby???? She has a new face!

lou031205 · 17/02/2009 14:06

kym valentine had a collapsed lung, so temp replacement.

GaspodTheWonderDog · 17/02/2009 14:06

LOL! I'm just watching it now, new Libby is freaking me out! Love the way they are subtely letting us know who she is - answering the 'libby kennedy speaking' and Ben saying 'thanks MUM' I think Kym Valentine had pneumonia so she was off for a while, she will be back though (can't believe I know that )

BeautyandtheBreast · 17/02/2009 14:09

Well I hope they have the right one back for the wedding - Lucas won't be able to get his pic's out for a while!

GaspodTheWonderDog · 17/02/2009 14:12

EustaciaVye · 17/02/2009 15:19

Lol @ new Libby.

BeautyandtheBreast · 17/02/2009 15:42

extremelychocolateymilkroll - isn't that mechanic Jonny the gay man from Emmerdale?

If I'd read this thread properly I would have known about the new Libby, but I liked the surprise!

I so love neighbours - I don't have any real life friends who watch it

GaspodTheWonderDog · 17/02/2009 17:09

Me neither Beauty. They all laugh and say things like 'ooooh, is that still on' or 'Oooooooooh I haven't watched that since I was a teenager' proud

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 17/02/2009 17:21

Surely they could have written Libby out for a while? Couldn't she have gonne to Tasmania or had to visit Billy in America? I think this is the first time this has occurred in Neighbours history. It will be really odd to see her with Dan.

Gaspod - tell your friends that Philip Pullman never misses an episode.

Beauty - yes, the mechanic is the gay man from Emmerdale. He looks really good with grey hair - has aged much better than poor Tom from the Sullivans. We should start a Neighbours Alumni section. There was a blonde girl who was in a thriller with Denzel Washington. It was set in South America and her son was kidnapped.
