Neighbours

With you all the way Franbern. This programme is my 20 minutes of down time after lunch. I started watching it when I was teaching because it brought up issues the kids argued about and it was a good way into deeper discussion. Devastated that Hendrix is ill. One of my favourites.

Lots of story lines are going to have to be drawn to a close over then next few weeks. I will miss this, as is part of my teatime watching each day. I am already missing 'Holby City', now Neighbours is due to close.

Joe and Lynne Scully had a "thing" on the go, then he had to depart, can`t remember why, but was coming back, next thing we see is Lynne marrying Paul.
I didn`t know Scott and Charlene were coming back for a last hurrah.

And what about Joe Mangle?

I don't watch it, but with these two making one last appearance I might have to tune in for the finale. Memories of watching it while nursing my children late 80s/90s.
If only they could bring back Bouncer! ?

Susan was in Prisoner too.

Is there one who is close to normal ? I can’t think of one

What about that new guy who got the Hotel job due to Harlow switching the CVs. A total nightmare! How could that even happen anyway? You would just say 'this is the wrong person'. Still, then there wouldn't be a story I suppose.

Sheila had her turn with Clive, the doctor, till they fell out and he took up with Jane. I still remember the actress who plays Sheila in the part of Doreen in the original Prisoner Cell Block H years ago.

^Sex,sex,sex, the only one not jumping into bed with anyone is
Sheila. - yet^

Please no!

The actress who plays Therese is a niece of Judy Dench

I'm sure the storyline surrounding Glen will be revealed. One of Paul's past bad deeds apparently.
If you want to see young Stefan Dennis 'the pop singer' this will make you chuckle:
Don't It make You Feel Good

Harlow is a little minx. Now we can await Glen having an affair
with Therese.

I can’t remember Paul having a brother Glen !

Neither can I Anniebach.

It's a bit too obsessed with sexual relationships at the minute.

I can remember, many years ago, that a young man turned up at the Robinson house and announced that he was Jim`s son that he`d never been told about, but I can`t for the life of me remember the storyline, it must be nearly 30 years ago.
Also, regarding young Harlow, the apple didn`t fall far from the tree, did it?

Watched it from the beginning. Love it - even all the stupid storylines.

I found the Americans use the words washroom/ restroom more than any other.

I can’t remember Paul having a brother Glen !

I often wonder what the constant limping does to his hip joint as apparently there is nothing wrong with his leg in rl

One of the things that is notable with the character of Paul is that the actor who plays him always has that slight limp where the character is supposed to have a prosthetic leg.

So often, in soaps, this sort of thing slowly disappears - but Paul has always kept it going. Probably he knows more about the history of the character than many of the SW's.

Wonder what would happen if she got pregnant??

Now Amy is getting seriously high maintenance. Me me me and nothing but me. Everything and everyone has to revolve around her and her feelings. She never seems to be at work, just spends her life dressing up and fretting about her flippin' love life. Finding her really annoying.

Doctor Karl seems to deal with everything from pre-natal, through cancer to brain injury. It's a magical world where real life doesn't intrude!

I so agree. But I love it.

Thanks Annie. I’ve been away and I must have missed an episode on catchup. ?. I find so many of the characters infuriating but still watch it avidly! Yes Nicolette is a nasty piece of work - poor Jane. - unconditional love.

All clear Atqui

Jane always looks so fearful, she is need of medication , suppose with Nicolette for a daughter she has good reason to be fearful.

Did I miss the follow up to Hendrix’ cancer scare? He seems to have reverted to normal behaviour .
