Neighbours: Discussion Thread

[~bl~]

Never heard of it, is it about current stuff or historical Neighbours material?

[Skylover]

It's current, it is excellent, they do a pod every 2 or so weeks, reviewing the recent episodes. They just had their 50th episode. It's on iTunes if you want to check it out. Someone sent in a parody song about Karl performing surgery with a power drill, called 'Drilling Her Softly'

Why is Brad paying for Jacka's mother's rent? He probably burnt down the house after Doug and Josh's deaths... Will Ned keep going and coming?

 

Xanthe is good when she doesn't trust Brooke. Gary and Sheila should too.

 

Hope David will turn out to be bisexual. It would open more possibilities than him just being out and in the closet.

[Skylover]

 

Ned burnt Maxine's house down so Brad is bailing him out.

 

I'm really enjoying the show at the moment, especially Elly/Angus, not many people are though. I can't wait for Jack/Paige to be over.

Does anyone have any theories on Dee's return? It's the biggest story for Neighbours in years, a former regular is allegedly involved in her disappearance but I have no idea who! Many people have speculated Darcy Tyler or Sindi Watts.

[Adamski]

If this woman really is an impostor, how did the hair that she pulled off her head and gave to Mark match the DNA sample from Dee's dead sister?! Did I miss something?

Anyway, I have to say I've been loving this storyline, and Madeleine West has been brilliant. Let's just hope that Real Dee shows up too, and we get some split screen cat fight action... 
 

[Skylover]

 

I guess they'll reveal that down the line.

 

I'm loving it too. Puts EE to shame at the moment.

[Adamski]

 

It's so juicy, and I love how it's also intertwined with the surrogacy plot. 

[Skylover]

 

I agree. Do you believe that it's an impostor?

[Adamski]

 

Yes, she must be, surely? 

[Skylover]

A lot of people online are speculating that another twist will be that she is the real Dee!

I sampled this show last year for a couple of months then dropped it because of time and other issues but I've decided to delve back into it since last month and I enjoy it tremendously. My issue with it overall was that it was too much like a US soap albeit better written, it gives me B&B vibes.
That guy in your avatar Edward Skylover, is he gone? He'd just appeared when I watched last year. I liked Aaron's boyfriend, was it Nate?
The Dee storyline is interesting, my bet is either she had amnesia and created a past and adopted Willow, or she is an alternate personality, which would be like Beth/Lorelei on GL. (Which I loved, I don't care, it was the first time in my life I watched a DID story and I was fascinated, plus the twist of the doppelganger being the real thing was one of the best twists in GL's last decade.)
One thing though and I realize this might be unpopular but I CANNOT stand Terese. A lot of the female characters on this show appear manic to me but with a Steph it works, Terese is a phony to me. I miss Amy's mother on the other hand.

Angus is the guy in Edward Skylover's avatar, yes he is gone. He was on an Aussie talent show as a singer. Yes Nate was Aaron's boyfriend. I would like it if they went there with Dee. I like Terese, but not this story with Piper.

[Skylover]

 

You should definitely carry on watching, InLoveWithSoaps. For me Neighbours is the best soap I've seen by a long way. Well-written. I don't mind Terese, but she's not a favourite of mine. Nate was alright, I like Aaron's potential new love interest David Tanaka. My avatar as bl said is Angus Beaumont-Hannay played by Jai Waetford of X Factor fame. Shame he left, I loved him!

 

 

Do you like Tyler/Piper as a pairing, bl?

[~bl~]

I like them well enough, do I think they should be together for decades like Karl and Susan, certainly not, but they are a bit of fluff and conflict.
