Okay, finally managed to watch yesterday's and I'm sure they mean for Paige to come across as suspicious and protective, but honestly, she's just screaming bunny boiler right now.

Are they really going to drag this drivel out until winter? Because dear lord...

Poor John Doe. His GF turns up, and she's the Aldi version of Paige.
Love it! Complete with the Aldi version of Nene's teeth

I'm hoping John Doe and his "girlfriend" actually run a sex slave ring and sling Paige into a shipping container and send her off to the far east somewhere.
no no no, send her to Leicester, England, I'll make sure she is kept in a secure location ...

Wow John Doe is like a magnet to stalky, obsessive women. I guess the idea of being able to literally create a man's personality from scratch must be quite appealing to some women!

As much as I dislike John Doe, I actually felt sorry for him today. That woman makes Paige look normal when it comes to being stalker-ish! The fact that she fabricated a story involving calling him 'Bird' as a pet name is pretty disturbing as well!

Heartbreaking scenes with Paul today stole the show though, however good or bad Neighbours is he can be relied on to deliver.

He's got a weird top lip that makes him look like he is snarling a lot.

This explosion storyline with Paul is just ridiculous. It's obvious he didn't do it, yet he's now just given up fighting his innocence and is willing to go to prison for 15-20 years!? Like ANYONE would just give up like that, and especially Paul Robinson.. It's so out of character.

I'm really enjoying Xanthe. I think the self-hate storyline has been really well paced. She's a really pretty girl but she doesn't realise it herself. Presumably it's going to be one of those nice feel-good message stories that a Neighbours does so well when they put there mind to it.

She is the best out of the teens tbh. Piper,Ben, Angus annoying as hell.

For me it all went downhill with the aftermath of the explosion but like you I still tune in!
It really has, there is not one likeable story atm. Maybe a new family needs to be introduced, to freshen things up.

I was expecting Karl to pop out from behind the door of the cosmetic clinic and give Xanthe a consultation.

Yes that wouldn't have surprised my seeing as Karl is the Jack of all trades when it comes to being a doctor (and he's apparently the only doctor in Melbourne)

Did we ever find out what was going on with Xanthe's mum? I remember when she first arrived she was off making suspicious calls and trying to get money off Sheila...but then it just suddenly became accepted that her mum was AWOL and that was that.

Also who was Mandy really? I think I missed a bit, one moment John Doe was telling her he was allergic to pineapple and the next, she was saying that he didn't say anything much to her the morning of the explosion?

I don't think it is out of character for Paul to be resigned to his fate. They have said he is depressed and, we know he battled depression after Kate died; he feels he's lost Terese to Walter; Amy and Jimmy don't believe he's innocent; the cops have no other suspects - it makes sense that he would give up and run away at this point. He's a broken man. He's still acting selfish with no regard for Steph's investment, and is stuck in self pity mode - so still Paul Robinson, then.

Bring in fake gf Mandy kinda piqued my interest in the John Doe story. I think they could have had another scene explaining why Mandy concocted such an elaborate lie for a man she doesn't know. Must be a really lonely, isolated woman.

Add me to Team Xanthe. Really love her character. I am a bit Piper'd out right now - she needs to have less episodes for a while. I get the feeling they don't quite know how to write for Ben.

I have a horrible feeling that Ned will be responsible for the explosion. They have ruled every other suspect out, and Ned is linked to Jacka who framed Paul, plus he's only a guest character. I hope I am wrong.

Would someone Xanthes age be allowed to have surgery without parental consent?! She's a teenager!

I know a comment was made in today's episode that her mum sent an email but would an email be enough? I'd of hoped a written signature would be required and that the parent would be present at all times.

That's some shoddy service at that cosmetic surgery clinic. They keep you waiting so long that you have time for four lots of visitors!

Seemed like that receptionist was enjoying herself.

Just remember Lauren, you are still technically "the other woman" and you may have exploited your grief to get close to Brad (after Matt died) but don't judge Terese by your own standards.

It's good to see Lauren getting a taste of her own medicine i reckon...

Disagree, you make it sound like Lauren was being deliberately calculated but she'd known him since they were both teenagers so naturally he was the one she felt most comfortable turning to after Matt died rather than any of the neighbours.

Well the kiss wasn't much, something of nothing really. Lauren needs to put Brad on notice instead of letting him run off all the time to console Terese.

I enjoyed Aaron's talk with Xanthe, he continues to impress me as the nicest of the Brennan bros. He was gentle, kind and most of all honest. At first I thought Sheila was just being a silly old bat but she does have a point. That clinic obviously didn't bother to do any kind of checks on her age or the veracity of the permission she said she had gotten from her mum. It was all about the money, money, money...

Seems like Steph has twigged to who might have paid Cecilia off now I'm wondering if she's going to act on her hunch?
