This has worked elsewhere, so I think we should try it here. Although I must admit that I am more of an occasional Neighbours viewer than a regular one. That said the show has been good over the last few weeks.
Okay, so today's episode. Suspicions are growing about Dr. Stone. It's taken long enough, hasn't it? And she hasn't killed anyone yet, despite her inexperience. Poor, stupid Boyd though -caught in her trap.
So Paul was being held hostage by Foz (I think that is his name) or at least he appears to be. Could this character be a figment of Paul's imagination, punishing himself for all his misdeeds over the years? I think so anyway. Mr. Robinson has to survive though. They can't kill him off as he is a good villian, even if some of his plans have been OTT at times.
As for Pepper, her post traumatic stress story wasn't the best acted was it? And just think, the actress who plays her is leaving the show to become a "Hollywood star".

Good thinking, Eithne. It will also help those catch up with anything missed. I don't get to watch it all the time and tend to have phases.
Boyd always was stupid so no surprise there if he can fall for her lies for the sake of more than a snog.
Fox is a strange one. I don't understand the relevance to him at all. Maybe it will all come out. Paul does survive I think as Gail makes another return.
She is??? But she's appalling! Oh that with Pepper was just stupid. Everything with Pepper is stupid. Pepper is stupid.
They are a little too obsessed with Rosie and Frazer and have been for a long time. Has Frazer confessed he's the brother of her fiance yet?

Made me laugh when I read that story. I agree about Rosie and Frazer, but then again both characters are likeable and I think that Rosie is quite a good actress. She's not a bimbo like Pepper anyway. I would say that Frazer has confessed all, though I'm not 100% sure. He must have if they are now engaged, as he will have a little problem when his family arrive won't he? |

Maybe she'll get a part in some daytime soap where acting isn't required.
She would. She already knows about Ringo so I assume he has too. I agree about the one playing Rosie being a good actress. I like Frazer too. They have such good on-screen chemistry.

That was a bit boring today. Only good bits were Paul. So Fox is a figment of his imagination. They did that well I thought rather than the usual "Can't you see him??" insistance though we may still get that.

Well not much Paul today. Just Elle's screwed up face, whiney voice and dry-eyed crying as well as Oliver.
Are Karl and Susan the new comedy double act? Their storylines get sillier by the week although it was quite funny today.
So the truth is out about Scary Mary. High time. But she's got Kerry! Think Harold will get locked in? If he were more like Lou he'd enjoy that. LOL!

I have to say my favourite bits in Neighbours are between Susan and Karl.
She can convey, with one look, so much. ( Especially when Karl is being an idiot )

Which is most of the time. LOL!
Today's was good but I missed the first few mins as I Lane phoned. Glad Boyd seems to be thinking with the right head and has twigged something is suss about Charlatan. Took long enough.
I enjoyed the scenes between Sky and Mary in the cell. Mary's not so bad. Good acting there from Rowena Wallace when Mary finally admitted she needs help.

So Boyd has twigged Charlatan killed Terrence due to a very clichéd scene - hooray!
Pepper and Ringo are heading for a snogging session. You can just see it coming.
Rachel irritates the hell out of me.
So no more Scary Mary??? Shame!

So Devoid (of a brain!) has run away with the evil Doc. Good twist though I'd say that he will be caught soon enough and will take the fall with her. It didn't really ring 100% true that he would run away with her after discovering she is a murderess though, as even he isn't THAT stupid surely? But I'll suspend my belief in order to enjoy the storyline.
As for Pepper and Ringo I wondered that to. But I read something somewhere else about his love life which surprised me and it did not involve Pepper.
I hope that Scary Mary will return. She's been good and could easily be released from prison on grounds of dimished responsibility. Maybe since Pepper is leaving, she will come back and bump her off?
All the dinner parties/discussions about Charlotte have been good too, bringing together characters that normally don't have much to do with one another e.g. Toadie and Frazer.

Now she has admitted her guilt, I reckon she will be sorted.
She could maybe be released, ( with medication, ) into Harolds care. ;D

LOL! I love that name, Devoid. I've been trying to think of one for ages.
Oh yes please. Scary Mary to kill Pointless Pepper!!!!!

Whoa! What a car chase and crash! Though isn't it law in Australia to wear a seatbelt? Or was it just Juanita making sure we did? Bit hammy though when Devoid tried to get her to confess.
The legalese between Toadie and the prosecutor was so much gobbledegook even if it was all made up it was bloody convincing.
So Worzel Gummidge (or is that an insult to Worzel?) has the hotties for Janae, huh?

Hooray! Charlatan is locked up in a corny, clichéd last minute rescue of Sky just like Bree's books.
Bit daft in the reprise showing Boyd in the ambulance BEFORE they showed the crash. Dumbos.
Susan and Karl were funny. I don't like Pepper so don't care Davo prefers Susan. Maybe if Pepper didn't make herself so obvious I would care.

Yesterday: The car crash and chase were actually quite good, and at least we got Boyd's real reasons for departing - to get a confession. Agree about the hammy bit Patsy!!! A bit OTT. Did Boyd really kill someone though or did he make that up? I find myself lost after not watching much for several months. Evil Charlotte though came through in the end to give us a good cliffhanger.
Janae and Ned bits were a bit dull, but poor Sky!!! Can things get any worse for her? Loses mother at a young age, brought up by raving mad dad, moves in with grandad, explores sexuality only to realise shes making a mistake, gets to know uncle and cousin who are then all killed, gets pregnant as a teenager but isn't sure who the baby's father is, baby gets leaukima, its father is killed, she falls for a pervy conman, she is then sent to prison for his murder, there she is bullied. Not been blessed with luck has she?
Today's episode: So after the usual drama Sky got freed and now it looks as though Devoid (her first love) and herself will reunite - and most likely leave Ramsey St together as well. Now THAT is just corny and clichéd. When they said Sky would be out of prison in the morning I expected her to be beat up or murdered over night, just for some more tragedy to befall her.
Susan, Karl and Pepper was pretty funny. Poor Susan though, what a slapper she is with five kids by five different men!!! Gets around doesn't she?

LOL! Put like that, Eithne, I wish Sky had been murdered overnight! If she and Devoid go off together she'll have got over Stingray pretty fast. LOL! Always the quiet ones.  Patsy |

As tactful as ever, Pepper. No wonder Susan wasn't amused. LOL!
Lolly/Rachel/Zeke/Grinalot - yawn!
Elle/Carmella/Oliver - yawn!
Paul's awake! He looked like Quasimodo when he came round. The bells!

How many years is Paul meant to have lost? Good acting though when he learnt Jim and Helen were dead. But how come he never asked why he and Gail were in wedding outfits when he saw that photo?
Rosie's mum's a big of a cow, isn't she?
Ned and Janae perhaps?
Paul was the best part again.

Paul's storyline has been really good post-op, while Elle actually being quite good also.
Ned and Janae look certain to get together. But how bad of an actress was the girl playing her opponent in the upcoming boxing match? Cringeworty.
I missed Thursday's, so have yet to meet Rosie's mum - but I'm guessing she's not pleasant having read she is totally against Rosie marrying Frazer because he is in a wheelchair.
Karl and Susan have been funny again with this Davo storyline, although you would expect those two to know better after all the affairs and consequent strife they have been through in the last few years.
