    This Brad, Terese, Lauren palaver is doing my head in, and now we have Georgia on a wheezy warpath. Personally, I want to buy her surgeon a drink if we never have to hear her bang on about singing again.

    Ah, thanks!


    I don't think Nate is an awful character, I think he has good potential but I think the actor is a bit hit and miss. At first I thought he was okay as he was just doing the dark brooding thing, but he doesn't seem to have acting range for other emotions. However, I'm quite entranced by his eyebrows so I end up just watching them in his scenes!

    BIB - Haha, glad it's not just me. Nates Eyebrows have become the talk of our household! :D

    Brad and Lauren aren't being very considerate of their respective partners' feelings right now. Yes, they have Paige in common and it's tough on her not to be able to see them together, but she's an adult - she would understand it's a short-term thing until trust has been rebuilt.

    Just things like Brad walking over to Paige's to invite her over, and accidentally meeting Lauren - I'm sure he has a phone, so didn't need to go over in person. Also, what was he thinking of, going into Harold's? He should be staying well clear of Lauren if he wants his marriage to survive, until his wife is feeling more secure in their relationship.

    Deschanel, I also agree with the points you've made about all the secrets Lauren's kept from Matt regarding Brad. And I agree, the writing for Brad, Terese, Matt and Lauren has been great.

    Yeah right. As if a dress worn by Kate "flat chest" Ramsay would fit Paige.

    I hate the way Brennan's voice goes all high like that when he's trying to act mad.

    I loved the twist of Paige buying one of Kate's old outfits. And she looked flipping dynamite! Get over it, Brennan. Your reward awaits!

    Before Brennan went irritatingly OTT I was about to say how enjoyable and watchable I found the relationships between him and Paige, and the one between Naomi and Josh.

    But then he reacted stupidly so I'll change that to just Naomi and Josh :p.

    What's the betting it all comes out about the surgeon having a funny turn in Georgia's op, and making a mistake, then a top notch surgeon hears of her plight, removes the scarring and there she is, singing a love song at their wedding?

    Yeah I'd put money on her being able to sing in time.

    it would join the huge list of other miraculous recoveries on Neighbours! Although it would be nice if we didn't have to put up with her singing !

    Was it actually Kate's dress? Or a dress of the same colour that was vaguely similar?

    Brennan's reaction was hilarious. He used to be a detective, but his first reaction is "Oh my god. How dare you purposely show up for a date in my dead fiancé s dress".

    This whole gym story. Paul prides himself on the quality of his hotel. But he was going to tell guests that from now on if they want to use a gym they need to trek over to the local gym that can cope with maybe half a dozen people at best.

    Surprised at the love Terese gets here. Not liked her since day one. She is selfish and a control freak. The day she started working at Lassiters she was always trying to undermine Paul who actually owns the place. Plots with Matt to try and get Paige locked up so that her husband can gave nothing to do with the daughter he never knew existed.

    Then expects hubby to never speak to Lauren who frequents the same 3 or 4 hangouts. Right.

    Awful character.

    So my sky+ Planner's preview for tomorrow is "Susan and Chris suspect Nate is suffering from PTSD".. Er you don't say :D

    I had the horrible feeling Paige and Brenno were about to start having Kyle and Georgia style relationship misunderstandings but thankfully not

    I liked liked the bit with Bailey getting awful advice off Lou (and then exceptionally dull advice off exceptionally dull Matt)

    OMG. At Aussie pace, Josh's attempt at crying was hilariously bad. I laughed.

    So in the space of a week, Amber and Daniel have become super knitters, enough that they can real off jumpers for multiple trees while attending school and helping with other stuff.

    My mum could knit like the clappers, but it still took her a week to crack out one glove *made from jaggedy arse wool I might add* :(

    His crying isn't the best but as an actor Harley has improved massively in the last six months. I've actually enjoyed his scenes instead of hating them like when it was just awful Amber and swimming plots.

    I'm really enjoying Nate's story. It has depth, which means I can overlook any issues with Nate's character/acting. I like that it's topical and relevant; makes the Neighbours universe seem more real and not so irrelevant. If that makes sense. I also like that they're highlighting both sides of the story.

    Imogen's finally toned it down and gone back to being likeable. It'll take a while before she's fully recovered as a character, though.

    Worse still is the yarn bombing appeared the day after the tornado, when everyone was clearing up Lassister's. I can only assume Daniel had some random knits ready to go. :D

    That L word doesn't half get chucked out easily

    I like Paul's re election storyline but I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where Lisa tells Mr.Burns when he tries to be good he's even more evil

    Snap!

    I literally thought exactly the same thing. Paul was like Mr Burns trying to do good, while doing bad, and Sonya was in the role of Lisa Simpson. Such a random comparison that was probably accidental on the writers part.

    Probably but i loved you thought the same too :)

    There was something very Paul Robinson about the whole thing and i've loved him interacting with characters like Toadie and Sonya (and especially Sheila) since slowly getting over Kate's death
