Ronnie always attracted tragedy, I definitely liked Roxy more.

I liked Bonnie's version better too, and would like Delta to sing the theme. The current version just has a cheap production, and the vocal isn't very good. My favourite is the extended Greg Hind theme from late 1994 to 1998, and the Janine Maunder theme from 2002 to mid 2007.

2008 was a good year. In fact I think it was mostly good from 2005 to around 2010. In this Drama repeat, I'm looking forward to the arrival of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell.

Yes, although I'd happily get rid of the current theme tune for something a lot less cheap sounding! I really liked the 2004 opening titles.

Head writer Shane Isheev has shared some pictures of what were alternate designs for the Neighbours opening titles over the years; in particular 1996, 1999 and 2002. Here are the real titles from those years, for comparison. The 1999 ones that didn't make it to air were better than the ones that did!!

Yes, it was the the episode of the infamous 'How's Adam?' scene I'm currently watching 2005 on UKTV play and Drama. 2005 is when I first became a fan of the show, so it's interesting watching it back.

Which years of EE have you watched? I took a break from about 2011ish to 2015 I think.

I don't see it as a classic Neighbours storyline, but I've heard people say that too. I can see where they're coming from, in the sense that Neighbours can be quite silly and very idiosyncratic, however I think there's good silly and bad silly, and that was definitely the latter. I would not have allowed something like that to go to screen. But Neighbours does have an issue where it doesn't know where to hold itself back sometimes, especially the modern show. Anyway, if that was a classic Neighbours storyline, it would be funny for a start!

I kind of like how it's been written, I think Whitney did get a happy ending in a sense. I feel like her having a baby and fostering a kid was her happy ending, and that she didn't necessarily need to have a man to have a happy ending. I guess they were trying to emulate what happened with Biana taking on Whitney in a way, even though the difference is that Bianca was with Whitney's dad. I like how Whitney started reflecting on her behaviour and how men have always treated her badly. They even touched on the abuse again. I kind of liked Whitney because of how things never went quite right, but I do think it's nice she's finally had a baby. I'm the same. Was never a huge Whitney fan but I did feel emotional seeing her leave. 16 years is a long time so I guess we're bound to feel something unless we have hearts of stone! I didn't see Whitney ever leaving until it was announced.

The Karl poop fake out in particular has been an awful storyline. I've heard people defend it because it's apparently 'based on something in the news' but I don't think that makes it any better. The Toadie/Mel/Terese/Paul thing is just devoid of any genuine character moments which makes it suck. I wish there was some more eye candy in the show.

Amen to all that.

I just caught up on 28 episodes and I'm really enjoying the show at the moment.

Yeah, that sounds about right. EE's last compelling period ended after the Lucy saga around 2016.

I'm sure it must have been that way for a good long time, I'd say 10 years, possibly 7 at the least.

I'm really behind, but Yolande is pretty much singlehandedly keeping me watching this show. I'm so glad she's not just back as a regular, but really in the spotlight.

I wouldn't mind dysfunctional, but it's just the fact so many of them have been involved in murders, and some more than once. I quite like the actress who plays Suki, but wish they had been written differently. I'm so glad Yolande's back, she should never have been axed back in 2008.

The Panesars are awful and need to be written out. They're so unlikeable with all this murdering etc.

I watched 1995 recently and really enjoyed the Flakey the Clown story, a quintessential Neighbours plot. RIP Brian.

Are there any old Days episodes on Paramount+? I also noticed there are pages listing Seasons 15 to 20 on Amazon Prime, but the episodes say 'unavailable' in my location? https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Days-of-Our-Lives/0RE5VEKJTGRKHR8Q0EKE41KPPZ

Thanks!

Alice Horton is one of my favourite characters, I wish there were more clips of her online. I like that they chose to do a flashback episode. How is the show performing on streaming?

I've pretty much quit the show. I no longer enjoy it and find it depressing. I think it might have been The Six storyline that killed the show for me.

I can't see one anywhere. Thanks for the replies @AbcNbc247, @Bright Eyes and @Contessa Donatella! I have missed my Days fix.

Hi all, I just have a few questions re Days please. Firstly, has Doug had an on screen funeral yet? Also, I was wondering whether the flashback episode in February which featured Tom and Alice Horton was worth watching? Thanks in advance.
