Well they were fraternal twins so the DNA link is no closer than any other full sibling. In other words, there is no more reason for Josh and Imogen to be more alike from a biological angle than Josh and Piper.

As much as Sonya can be annoying at times, I do like her and Toadie together. It will be interesting to see how Toadie reacts to her coming back and if he still has any feelings for her.

On another note, I just saw on Mavournee Hazel (Piper) and Ariel Kaplan's (Imogen) twitter that they are currently both in London. No mention of whether Josh is in London. I wonder if either of them will appear on any shows i.e The Wright Stuff, This Morning etc.

That conversation between Gary and terese today was very risqué for neighbours I thought!!

I only ever want to thump her.
Actually that's not true, sometimes I feel like slapping her as well.

Do any Paige Haters feel any differently after today's episode? She clearly explained about throwing herself into things so she doesn't have to deal with the pain of losing Josh. I really liked that exchange with Nikki. You could tell watching Nikki with Angelina brought back memories of Josh's death for her. I also loved that look she gave Jack, knowing that he loves her, but it wasn't in an infatuated way, more of a righteous look, but with a hint of contempt. She certainly isn't chasing him anymore, but Jack is allowing his heart to lead his head.

Loved the Gary/Terese scene. He seems to challenge her in a way Paul never could.

I thought it seemed like Nikki fancied Paige.

I do feel that today's episode put Paige in a better light. It was so strange the way she almost ignored Josh's death and latched unto a complete stranger so the fact that it was how she dealt with her grief does make her more sympathetic to me.

However, Paige interfering in Angelina's treatment when it was none of her business really annoyed me even if she owned up today that it was to salve her guilty conscience. Jack going on about how wonderful and brave she was made me feel slightly nauseous truth be told.

I still see Paige as a self obsessed self entitled princess and I don't see that changing, however.

She is the cutest little girl and she looks so seriously as though she is taking a lot in.

Terese and Gary's scene was a bit racy for Neighbours standard. Nice to see that they are going away from Terese and Paul in many respects. Her and Gary do seem an odd couple but they work together really well. They need to stop Paul being the pantomime villain in every episode, it is getting incredibly tiresome.

I loved it a couple of weeks ago when she was badgering Charlie to play and in the end he snapped at her and flounced off... and Nell turned to Toadie with a look that seemed to say "waddafook?"

I thought the Gary/Terese scene was a little corny but Terese seemed to appreciate it. I like them together, not sure if they could last in a long term relationship, though.

Terese and Paul.....oh just pull your heads in both of you. I did like Paul's barbed comeback when Terese said he needs to own his apalling behaviour - 'have you?' Funnily enough, I'd still like to see Terese and Paul become a proper couple, though.

I've liked Paige a lot more through this boxing storyline, Olympia's been great at showing a serious and dare I say it, mature side to Paige lately. More please, we don't need to sit through any more of the sulky, pain in the posterior flibbertygibbit.

One "twin" is from Australia and one is from New Zealand

She was brilliant wasn't she. While it was quite obvious that her bit and Charlie's bit were filmed separately and you couldn't see her when he went off on one her reaction was still priceless.

I'm not even sure if they come from the same ethnic group but then again, Neighbours did try to pass Sonia and Jade off as sisters.

I actually agree with that poster a few pages back who had a rant about "Princess Steph". Now Sonia and Toadie will rally round and give her a replacement kid because she's so down and unhappy.

I felt a wee bit uncomfortable listening to it! I do like Gary a lot though so would like to see him with someone.

Although still meddling re the Angelina treatment, Paige hasn't really irritated me that much recently but I do think just as they try & give her a storyline that's not all about Jack, they bring him right back in with his jealousy of David. This would have been the perfect time to move on & redeem her character!

I don't think I can take anymore of the Jack & Paige storyline. It truly bores me to tears!

Just catching up on Thurs/Fri episode. I have some helpful information for Amy next time she is in a pickle....... open top car with top down blocking you in? Reach in, release handbrake, push car forward. Simple really.

But yet again the writers have a habit of writing nonsense. As if someone would speak to someone they are blocking in, but walk off and go have a coffee etc. Total ballcocks.

It was pure filth!

I think Jack is annoying me more than Paige at the moment. His jealous strops are just tedious.

Couldn't TPTB have just made the twins brothers? I can't see them being twins as being integral to a a storyline. Just because they may have been originally envisioned as twins surely they could've changed them to bros after these two were cast?! The talk one has a look of Katya Kinski about him (wasn't she part Mongolian or something?) and the short one looks more Indian Asian imo.

I was glad I watch Neighbours alone after the Gary?Terese convo, just a little bit embarrassed. Gary is obviously very confident in the bedroom department

Would like to see these 2 as a couple but still thing she'll end up back with Paul "yawns"

Or alternatively, report it for illegal parking so it will be towed away. Unless the law is different in Australia, it is illegal to block cars in like that unless it is something like a hotel car park where the parking is advertised as treble parking so Reception have your contact details (or you leave the keys) so it can be moved when needs be.

Might seem a bit extreme but if it is costing you money as you can't get to your next job then.... might teach them a lesson so they don't do it again as well.

The Paige stuff came way too late for me, it feels like an afterthought thrown in by the writers to try and repair the damage. And it was still all about her and what she couldn't cope with it. No consideration that maybe her father or her remaining siblings might need her - she barely even took the time to acknowledge Ned who she hadn't even met before. Meh.

The Gary/Terese scene was very out of place for Neighbours and to be honest I found it a bit cheesy and a bit yuk.

I'm such a little ray of sunshine today!

I agree with Madge re Paige talking about Josh.

It's not really a revelation - i said at the time) including on here) that Paige being glued to John (as he was then) side could well have been a diversion tactic as Josh and Doug's deaths were too hard to deal with. I did actually give her benefit of the doubt about it at the time re it being an understandable response.

But it was still a selfish one as she wasn't the only one grieving and she should have tried to be there more for Brad, Imogen and Piper. When a close relative dies you can't wallow in your own grief or avoid it as helping the rest of your family who are hurting just as much as you is necessary, no matter how hard it is.

And it doesn't change her 'stamps foot' reaction to not getting what she wanted (Jack) after his memory returned or embarking on a relationship (of sorts) with Tyler despite knowing how her sister felt about him.

So no, i don't feel any more kindly towards her as it has never been about not understanding how she felt or why she was doing things. - it was about thinking that she should behave better despite her feelings.

BIB- nothing to add except i agree and feel the same...

Just also to add re Paige, that no matter how bad she was feeling and trying to hide from her grief by distracting herself, not going to Doug's funeral was unforgiveable.

Very few people 'enjoy' funerals. Especially if it is somebody very close to you, it is one of the worst days of your life and pretty much an ordeal - but it is something that you force yourself to do - both out of respect for the person who has died and to help and support the other people who have lost them and will be feeling as bad as you.

I agree. Not going to Doug's funeral was selfish and disrespectful.

You may not want to do it yourself but you do it out of love for the person who died and to be there for your family who are also grieving. Imo anyway.
