Anyone notice the quick turnaround in recent weeks?

A major turning point will be when Sarah's return potentially bringing Karl and Susan together and I suspect Karl fathered one of Sarah's 2 children. :eek:

Also, the arrival (The Return) of a Lou's daugther's family, The Turners. A strong family unit who are actually great! :)

Shelia and Angie's return have been great too.

    Brad - recast
    Lauren - recast

    How can I take Neighbours seriously?!

    The Sarah/Karl thing might be worth watching but shes not permanent.

    They were never going to bring back the original actors, as they no longer act. Sarah Vanderbugh(sp?) lives in Europe now, so there's no way she would return. And Scott Michaelson has left the industry. There only option is to recast.

    You say it as if re-casting on Neighbours is a new phenomena :)

    Well you're being biased PaulRobinsonFan. Neighbours is clearly your favourite soap as your username says it all. But I wouldn't say Neighbours is better than Corrie... This is coming from a massive Neigbours fan myself.
    Karl hasn't fathered Sarah's child. He only slept with her once. So Karl is not the father of any of Sarah's children. Karl and Susan are back together now.

    Sarah has left Neighbours now (Australian pace).
    Angie has also left as well.

    That'll be why hardly anyone bothers to watch it.

    Not Actually but Opinion. I say EastEnders is better. Some will agree and some wont simple. Neighbours however is terrible its worse now than it was last year. Sonya Breast Feeding in Charlies was the big storyline last week.Then theres the Bad acting from the Kapoors.

    And as if recasting is a new phenomena on *any* soap.:rolleyes:

    The original actors that have been replaced were hardly Oscar winners, and to me not especially memorable.

    Neighbours is not BRITISH END OF.

    A UK broadcaster (Five) partly funds the program on a long term legal contractual arrangement. Part of the money behind the show is 'British'. And most of its audience is British.

    Five also has sign-off approval over scripts before they are produced. So the British end is consulted on what happens in the program and potentially can affect things.

    No 'end of' about it.

    God no. Nothing ever happens! Everything's so domesticated and boring. They're afraid to take any risks. Just look at Home & Away, there's always a load of big stories on the go. Some of them are ridiculous (anything Braxton related) but it's never boring.

    The days of Izzy and Elle were vastly superior.

    At least Neighbours is inclusive and has storylines for the older characters.

    Neighbours is by far better than Corrie & Emmerdale definitely.

    Alf and Irene never get storylines. They rarely appear in Home And Away. Alf only appears briefly in scenes. When's the last time Alf and Irene got a good storyline? Irene's last storyline was the cancer storyline in 2011 and that lasted a few months.
    Gina is leaving the show so she will be killed off soon.

    Irene and Marilyn never get any storylines. All they do is flounce about in the background.

    As for Neighbours, it's a bit of a joke at the moment. They have some very good characters but also some very poor ones. It's nowhere the best soap going at the moment.
