Members ~bl~ Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I wish they made the old DVDs available in a format that would be viewable in all regions. I would spend the money out of curiosity. The problem is these episodes get pulled when posted, as you can buy them. At least Neighbours has a yearly hiatus, unlike US shows so it is a bit less to view. Wish a service would pick up the older episodes anything, actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 We're lucky with Home and Away, as that's been repeated from the beginning since 2009. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I know you love to rag on promos...the Neighbours promos these days have the most OTT nature possible. I have to say the current show isn't really to my taste entirely but it does have some good moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I can't lie, I love the Australian promos. I just wish we got them in the UK, I think they're hilarious. ETA: What is it about the show that isn't to your taste @DRW50?

Members DRW50 Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I just think some of the characters are a bit empty and the show has a bit of a clinical, empty tone to it. There are some gritty characters, like Sonya and Steph and Susan (lots of S's there), but the younger set - people like Aaron, David, Leo, Amy, etc. seem quite bland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I can't disagree with you there, they are bland. They need work. Sonya, Steph and Susan are great characters Please register in order to view this content I think David is layered though. Did you watch in the past? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 Neighbours will keep you happy in that department. Their main gay character at present used to be a stripper, although this was not Chippendales stripping, obviously. I've watched off and on in different periods. I'm aware the show has often been a bit of a softer soap and that's preferable to too much shock and gore. It's just some of the current stories are choosing to tackle some difficult subjects, and the handling of them...like the Kim/Paul mess...doesn't really suit the tone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 Which eras did you think were good? I hate the Kim/Paul retcon. I can't take Leo and David as Paul's sons. I love Sonya right now. What did you think of the teen era 2008-2010? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think you'd like the stuck in the display story, that was awhile a go, but about the stripper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 This is Aaron's first scene. And his relationship with Nate (there are a lot of scenes missing I assume) Aaron is now with David. There was another gay character on the show before Aaron named Chris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 When Chris got hurt and was eventually better, I wept. I was surprised how much I cared about that character at least he got a happyish ending even if we don't know if he got a new love as the people he was closest to are all off the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
