I am beginning to really loathe Neighbours thanks to Susan Bower. The teens are doing my head in. The adult storylines are so childish. Everything seems to be regressing.
Anyway I dug around for some Australian ratings and yesterday (Thursday 25th March) ratings were down to a lowly 429 000 viewers. That's pretty shocking. Is anybody going to do anything to get that stupid woman out of running the show?
The funny thing is that when Susan Bower was interviewed when she first started, she had said that she's determined to turn Neighbours around and ensure that it got a million viewers a day - I don't think it's managing to get a million a week in Oz these days!
I just don't understand that someone can continue doing what they are doing when there is such negativity online and woeful ratings to highlight how out of touch she is with the programme.
I can honestly say I hope she never finds work again because she is so arrogant and deluded to think that her ideas are the only ones worth implementing and the blatant refusal to admit there is anything wrong with the programme and general disregard she is showing for the series is just disheartening to say the least.
Watched Neighbours tonight for the first time in a while.... kind of wish I hadn't bothered.... So we've got Kate in yet another dancing storyline where she thinks all is lost only to win through in the end and impress some bigwig.... today the bloke whose show it was.... who then gives her the role of lead dancer, wtf? Libby still running to Susan I see and now moving back home. Wonder what poor sap she's going to get her claw into next.
What happened to the good solid storylines Neighbours used to produce, which viewers used to actually care about? These days it feels like it's just all about the latest teen drama or who fancies who.

Kate's dancing storyline was RIDICULOUSLY STUPID even by Neighbours' standards. Are the writers on battery acid and stupid pills or something? So, we're supposed to believe that a girl joins a dancing troupe on day and on the next is offered the lead role over all the other girls who have been there for ages? Seriously WTF!!!!

To be fair, the eps this week have been really quite good, and I have been a critic during the last few months.

To be honest I think this week has been a bit poor. Please don't get me wrong, i am a 34 year old male who has never missed an episode of neighbours but it is getting far too predictible. The Aussie epps airing now are looking good...just hope the UK viewers can last the teen drama a few more months!:)

I don't know why she thinks a dancing job will help her get guardianship of her siblings. I would have thought that a job like that - presumably a lot of evening/weekend work - would make her a less favourable candidate. It's such a boring story. Didn't Susan Bower realise she bored us all enough with her last dancing Kate story?
Hopefully Sunny and Lolly will return for the 6000th episode and the residents will hold a vigil to remember Bridget, and we'll have lots of Bridget flashbacks.

She's the executive producer...for now.

I was more annoyed by the 'A few moments later' caption. Has that ever happened before?

In addition to which, the girl can't dance!
Looking for "FFS... Get rid of Bridget" were you? :D:D
Oh please, no!
Havnt posted in this thread or watched Neighbours for about 2 months now, mainly because the show got so bad I couldnt be bothered to watch anymore.
Is it worth watching again yet? Improved?
