Jeans so tight I'm sure he'll never father children. High-pitched whiney singing in public. Bizarre headwear. What will be next?!

Hasn't anyone else noticed. Also, while I'm ranting to myself, Kate's wardrobe...obviously she is in the small of norkage category but putting her in shapeless tents is not going to help! Don't even start me on Summer....WHY IS SHE SO ANNOYING? Right I do feel slightly tragic better now

No - I noticed it too. I was also a but surprised that no-one else in Charlies seemed to notice the whiney highpitched singing - they carried on chatting in the background. Surely someone would have looked over to find out wtf he was up to?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 11/06/2010 09:52

I'm thinking that a dodgy singing career has been/is about to be launched. Hence the break.

LOL dt's girl - I know! Of course that happens all the time in my local, people bursting into song...NOT.
Chickens - I fear that is the truth. I've only just got over Rachel warbleing at any given opportunity. Can't the producers have mercy on us for a little longer?

Am i the only one that thinks he has come back and he looks rather hot! It could be cus of my age (probley alot younger than you lot)
I also think he is a great singer, i'd like to see you lot give it a try

Katz · 11/06/2010 11:07

the actor has indeed launched a singing career- hence the break and the song is his new single!!!!!!

I still can't get over the stupid steff toadie baby storyline

Enormarse · 11/06/2010 11:20

Hai - oh no, no, no.
If '88 is your year of birth then yes you are a lot younger than me but still....

NO.

Katz - it's ridiculous isn't it (even by Neighbours standards)

OP posts:

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 11/06/2010 11:36

Yes Katz - why on earth couldn't she have simply said she'd had a one-night stand with someone she met at the pub, who'd given her a false phone number and whom she'd never seen again??

And I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, Hai - the shirts Ringo was wearing in the most recent episodes were bad enough - bit that hat!!! I couldn't fancy anyone wearing a leatherette trilby!

whiteliesaregoodlies · 11/06/2010 12:36

Loved the look on the other characters faces while Ringo (or "Ring-goy" as Donna says) was singing. Donna was looking up at the ceiling as if praying for it to stop, and Zeke just looked confused and slightly in pain.

kansasmum · 11/06/2010 12:52

Katz Oh I am with you on the Steff Toadie baby thing! Why did she have to say it was Toadie's? Its a really crap story anyway and Libby finding out she had slept with dan would be far more amusing!!

Hai1988 · 11/06/2010 13:17

i got a feeling that libby will find out at some point.
As the actress who plays steff is leaving im sure it will all end in tears

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 11/06/2010 13:21

I think Steph will die hideously (yet unmarked) in a car accident, and Libby will somehow end up raising the baby.

bathbuns · 11/06/2010 14:25

Agree that Kate's tent was awful and poor poor Ringo. The actor will die a thousand embarrassing deaths in ten years when he looks back on that outfit. Tragic. And hideous. And who else thinks that song will be pulled out again and again....and again over the next few weeks.

God I love Neighbours.

Katz · 11/06/2010 14:26

chickens - that sounds like a plausible neighbours storyline!! i still don't get why you would get you best mate to dump his girlfriend, and pretend the baby was his - ahhhhh stupid stupid stupid.

kiwibella · 11/06/2010 15:22

I guessed that the song would be a single - and another Neighbour's pop career launched. But... why did the script say that he wrote it for Bridget. Isn't it always going to have that tag now?????

schroeder · 11/06/2010 18:48

I'm glad I'm not the only one-I was going to start a thread about Ringo's jeans yesterday.

They were stupendous and mesmerising it just wasn't realistic that no one commented(haha neighbours realistic hehehehe).

lazarusb · 12/06/2010 15:51

You would have thought that Declan might have found it a bit odd that Ringo had been writing songs about his dead wife...

leavingonajetplane · 12/06/2010 20:13

Theyre not killing Steph though - they want the actress to come back. I hope shes leaving in protest at that ridiculous storyline.

Unfortunately that song is the Ringo-actors real life second single. No doubt to be heard over and over a la Rachel and Ty.

Dont forget we still have Indias first birthday and Bridgets anniversary to get through...

Tortoise · 12/06/2010 20:23

Agree very strange outfit. I also said why is no-one reacting to Ringo singing in Charlie's!

The Actor who plays Declan leaves this week and is replaced by a new actor. I like the original actor so not looking forward to him changing.

Think Steph's stupid baby story will be found out this week too! Agree that it would have been easier to say it was some random person!

leavingonajetplane · 12/06/2010 21:14

This week? I am so going to miss James Sorenson. I actually really liked the way he and the Rebecca- actress played their mother-son relationship. He is leaving to join the army so probably wont be back singing in Charlies in a few months.

anonacfr · 13/06/2010 10:00

Is he really going off to join the army? Wow.

Agree that Ringo's outfit was ridiculous. One minute he's a rugby player, next thing he's an indie emo weirdo who's gone all zen and turned into a singer?

And was I the only one appalled at Stef's behaviour towards Toadie when he went over to talk to Sonya? She made him dump the girl he loves for no good reason and then she moans that he still have feeling for her???? What a bitch!

dayday · 14/06/2010 23:06

Hi! all weirdos who love neighbours including me.

What on earth is kate wearing, gosh im a bit flat up their but theres ways around it, "chicken fillets" fresh from the butchers, or a shrugalero could sort that problem out!!!!

Has Ringo heard his self sing? Its strange how knowone else could hear him.

i think us mums netters could write a better script and sort the wardrobe out. {But then we'll all have nothing to talk about.}

thisismyclone · 15/06/2010 07:04

I am a Neighbours addict too

I am in Oz so am a couple of months ahead

The new Declan is terrible. Sod the Army, bring James back!

May have to disagree with you on Summer though. I didn't like her at first but she has grown on me over the last couple of months. At least they didn't bring back the old Summer! Plus I have a teeny girl crush on her

thisismyclone · 15/06/2010 07:07

Oh and forgot to mention that the Steph/Toadie storyline is really interesting at the moment! Shan't tell more but lets just say that i am sooo looking forward to the rest of the weeks episodes

anonacfr · 15/06/2010 07:47

I'm sure we've asked you this before, but any chance you could start a spoiler thread?
