Neighbours: Discussion Thread

[Ben]

The show kinda fuels the fires of that joke when they had Mark reference he has a sister! I don't think the family needs to be any bigger than it already is. I've not seen any press surrounding NI and her opinion on returning to Neighbours, so I live in hope that she isn't another Kylie. I think it would be good to see how well (or how unwell) Beth and Terese would get on.

All they've ever said is like having Lucy represent the wider Neighbours community, I guess much like how Sue Parker and Jayden Warley does. Now that Lucy is having Chris' baby, they can't bring her back permanently as they'd have to explain Chris not returning with her, considering his exit was all about being an active father to his child.

New cast photos of the 4 new regular characters.

Group shots: Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard), Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson), Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond), and Jimmy Williams (Darcy Tadich).

The last shot is of Aaron with his on-screen brothers Tyler and Mark.

They seem to be putting a lot of effort in promoting the new Brennan bro. I think they should also focus on Amy, as Zoe Cramond used to star in Packed to the Rafters, which was popular, and she could potential bring an existing fan base with her. Promoting the latest hunk doesn't always bring rewards.

Is it just me or does Aaron look a lot like Stu Parker (without the soul patch and with a more square jawline)

I yearn for the day they make Tyler get a haircut.

I know, right, Brad Eyes? That hairstyle is so 1998.

I watched that earlier today. I'm happy they brought him back as a regular. What I don't understand is how Home and Away is supposed to be the younger soap and yet their social media is so lacking.

3 times the H-O-T?

Gives me Ford flashbacks.

I see that my belief that Karl Kennedy is the hottest guy on the show likely won't be changing.

[TimWil]

Hah, Carl! They really do seem to have the visual equivalent of a tin ear when it comes to eye candy. I do think Tim whatsisname is handsome but sexless.

So I guess it's being said again that Amber Turner and Kyle Canning are leaving.

[Bright Eyes]

Jenna Rosenow admitted in an article on DS a couple weeks ago that both of them would leave at the end of their contracts (they're together IRL), but that they still had at least six months to go.

Behind-the-scenes of... behind-the-scenes!

It's a really fun and interesting look at some of the areas that fans never see or know about. Would be cool if other soaps could do something similar.
