Neighbours: Discussion Thread

[Ben]

Oh, wow, I didn't realize, Carl.

I hate those country restrictions that networks and broadcasters place on their videos.

[TimWil]

It's dumb, Ben, I don't understand it.

[~bl~]

It is ridiculous if they block things and only allow Australian viewers to watch as people in the UK and US (via Hulu) actually can view the show legally in those areas. If there isn't a music issue or a spoiler we shouldn't be seeing yet, they shouldn't do that. They turned Neighbours vs. Zombies on worldwide.

[Ben]

It's a BTS video, with no spoilers at all. But, it's made for Channel 5, so I guess they UK'd it only.

It's dumb, and makes no real sense.

Some more new cast shots.

Thanks!

Is that what they're called on the show (the torturous triangle)?

[Ben]

No, that's what fans call them, b/c it's such a boring, dull triangle that no-one cares about, with a lead female who's so bland she can't even drive her own story.

Yet, no matter who's in charge, they continue to try to make her work, despite most fans hating the character.

The Brennan brothers' father has been cast, and he'll be played by Russell Kiefel. Russell Brennan will be revealed to have physically abused Tyler.

Carl, I think it was you who said the Brennan brothers remind you of the Ford brothers from OLTL, and I can totally see that in terms of their aversion to shirts, and now they too, have an abusive father, just like the Fords did, right?

[DRW50]

If their mother is played by someone famous mostly for playing a lesbian, who then disappears after a month, we should worry.

[Ben]

^

That's what the woman who played Inez was famous for?!

[DRW50]

Sadly, yes.

[TimWil]

Hey, she does a lot of commercials now so I ain't worrying about her.

Some photos from Paige's 21st b/day party, with Real Housewives of Melbourne's Gina Liano. (Oz viewers would have already seen this.)

Tim Phillipps looks...oh, dear.

[Ben]

Terrible?

He needs to cut his hair - or the show needs to cut his hair.
