Members Vee Posted July 16, 2024 Members Share Posted July 16, 2024 I was wondering how long they'd string that out. So classy of him to keep this going for so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiofmso Posted July 17, 2024 Members Share Posted July 17, 2024 I know this is long overdue and others have probably already said it, but Hannah Monson has been absolutely brilliant as Nicolette. She’s managed to turn around a character that originally had no redeeming qualities into someone I enjoy seeing on screen. So great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted July 20, 2024 Members Share Posted July 20, 2024 While it's a beautiful edit... the score was not needed for this scene.

But Hannah Monson has completely 180'd the role, and I adore her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 21, 2024 Members Share Posted July 21, 2024 This was an odd week for me in that I feel like stories which should have had more focus (like Aaron and Logan and Jane and Mike) were wrapped up quickly, while stories that didn't warrant as much airtime got the focus instead. I hope the show will consider bringing Logan back for more with Aaron, as I do think they had genuine chemistry and the idea of two men who loved (or in one case was obsessed with) David finding each other is very soapy. And Logan could also pull Aaron toward being a somewhat darker character, which would be interesting, especially with a potential custody battle looming. Wendy wanting to live a life she never got to have makes sense for her character, who has always tried to be a bit cutesy and young, but going as far as they did with the huge house party and binge drinking in her own home feels like a step too far. To be honest I think it's actually worse than if she had gone out drinking with her friends and kissed Quinn, because she brought all of this into her own home, she moved pictures, everything. One thing that annoyed me in this story and annoys me on any soap (I've seen H&A doing it more lately too) is pointless slo-mo or sped-up moments. Seeing Wendy playing peer bong in fast forward doesn't make me thrilled, it just makes me annoyed. I also feel like, while I don't hate the story, too much time went to Kiri/Nicolette compared to the much more interesting story with Byron lying to get what he wanted. I want to see more exploration of this and not just a story where Leo finds out and they fall out for about two episodes. The Byron we first saw was much more of a grey character than what he has been on the reboot - why not take him back to that? I loved Nicolette's pride in him for scheming and plotting, but I wonder how she would feel if he started truly turning. The best part of the week for me was the Toadie material (very rare to say that these days). It's a bit contrived to have all these memories of the past drop at once, but they did address this by having him admit he'd known about Sonya's Nursery woes for a while, he had just been ignoring them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 Catching up on the past two-weeks, and like Aaron & Logan are cute together... I can't help but feel like their pairing is ick-levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 @Skylover So sorry to hear this. I'm not as up on old Neighbours as you and many others but any time I see Lyn in the old episodes she's a real spark plug - and she also feels like a character who was designed for Neighbours, rather than a generic figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted July 29, 2024 Members Share Posted July 29, 2024 It's a real shock, as Janet was always so vibrant and had a youthful energy about her! It's been confirmed that Toadie was axed Please register in order to view this content A sad week for Neighbours fans! https://www.backtothebay.net/news/2024/07/29/it-actually-wasnt-my-choice-ryan-moloney-on-his-neighbours-exit/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 29, 2024 Members Share Posted July 29, 2024 He seems copacetic about it in the extended comments. I am so far, far behind but I'll catch up (or jump ahead) sometime! "Death in the Outback" sounds fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 29, 2024 Members Share Posted July 29, 2024 I wonder if this is due to how poorly received the whole Terese/Toadie/Mel/Paul story was. That's not his fault but you could tell just how much the material was ill-suited for him. You could see a big shift in the original story when you had Mel telling Toadie last week that they never should have been together. I suppose budget reasons may be at play too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted July 30, 2024 Members Share Posted July 30, 2024 And she wasn't wrong. Melanie & Toadie should have never been paired. At all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted August 1, 2024 Members Share Posted August 1, 2024 I'd be interested to hear from US members here thoughts on Tess and Heath? Their American accents sound so fake and cringeworthy to me. I wish they'd hired American actors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 1, 2024 Members Share Posted August 1, 2024 I haven't heard him yet, but she seems to be from the US, or at least spent a lot of time there. She may just be trying to put on more of the cliche posh American Dynasty type of accent.

Members Vee Posted August 2, 2024 Members Share Posted August 2, 2024 (edited) Tess is indeed truly terrible. And not just the accent. Edited August 2, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
