Madge used to say appreciate a lot too. She didn't pronounce it correctly either and it drove me nuts. Someone popped in with a casserole - Madge appreciated it. Whatever happened to the casseroles? Why does no one bring them in times of crisis anymore? They were iconic.

Why is Piper so over the top and happy about her Dad marrying the woman across the road that he cheated on her mum with? Surely she'd still be a bit hurt by her Dad's behaviour? Wouldn't she be thinking of her Mum even though Terese doesn't seem too fussed about it now. It just seems a bit odd.

And we got to listen to it all twice - oh joy!


I did not!!

From the panned out shot, I assumed Jimmytheshit's drone caused it.

That bloody drone doesn't half get about. It'll have its own spin off show soon.

Maybe Sid could be in it too as they both plot to bring down Ramsey Street residents.

Sorry meant to say.

I took steph's crash to have been caused by Jimmy's drone - eother it flew into her vision so she swerved and lost control or iit had crashed onto the road so damaged her tyre and wheel.

They scanned back to see it in front of her crashed bike on the road.

I too found the crash funny, especially when Paige jumped out - it just looked hilarious her flying through the air...

Talking of Paige, so what if she fancied Jack when she first met him and so what if her attraction to him influenced her decision to watch over him... is that a crime? Does it take anything away from the fact she needed a distraction from her grief? Or that she wanted to invest in the person who saved her life? If he had been a fat, balding ugly man and she did the same thing I'm sure there would still be shouts on here about how selfish she is to abandon her family just for a random fat, ugly stranger...

It doesn't matter how it's presented to me - I just don't see anything selfish about wanting to care for, watch over and ultimately help a random stranger who saved your life - the fact that he's a good looking man is neither here nor there and I don't think anyone can judge what they would do in a similar situation... Up to the point she found out he was a priest and still pursued him, she can't be held at fault for spending time with him and wanting to be there for him - heaven forbid she, as a single woman, finds a single man attractive - So selfish!

I love this thread, it really does crack me up

There simply isn't enough veg in the world to cope with all of Erinsborough's crises.

I laughed out loud at that - it was so funny (well at least to me!)

It was the hair salon break that tipped me over the edge

They just had to tack on a bit of drama for Steph there, so everyone will have to "rally round" her again.

Karl doing more unconventional surgery. I still haven't forgotten the time he saved Mal with a stanley knife and a drinking straw.

This Jacka storyline would have made slightly more sense if it hadn't just been tacked on in the last five minutes that he had a wife. As I said in an earlier post, they obviously couldn't hire another actor, so they just said "make her Jacka's wife". Like when they brought Troy back as Jade's abusive ex-boyfriend even though there was ZERO mention of this the first time Troy was there and having scenes with Jade.

Yes, you're right - if Paige had sat by the bedside of a fat, ugly, old bloke) or woman) I would still feel that she had let he family down at a time they really needed her and she should have put aside what she needed to do to get through for their sakes.

But i would have understood it more and had more sympathy for her avoidance tactics as she is young (22 when it happened) and possibly hasn't had to deal with losing a loved one so didn't know how to cope or who to ask.

I do get that, i really do.

But her prioritizing how she dealt with her feelings over being their for her family was selfish. It just was. I have lost numerous people from when i was 6 years old into young adulthood and even now into middle age and it is not just about you - it is about looking after the other people that have also lost that person. Possibly people who were closer to them, than you were as would have been the case with her father losing his father and son, on the same day. When the grandparents that died in my teenage and young adult years went, my primary concern was for my Mum who was grieving for a parent - i put my grief to one side to support her.

Maybe i'm unusual in feeling like that, but I'm afraid i am going to judge Paige's support (or lack of) for her family in relation to what ui have done and experienced - especially as my brother was pretty crap re supporting our father or me when my Mum died so know how it feels for somebody to close in like that from the other side.

I hurt, i wanted to hide, i wanted to find anything else to do but I didn't because I knew my Dad needed me and practicalities had to be dealt with.

And i do still believe that she would not have been glued to the person that 'saved' her side if she had,'t fancied him.

That does make a huge difference to her motives and morality.

Tptb must think we are idots tbh. Guess we are meant to forget that S/L like it was long ago lol. The fact that Terese who lives across the road from them is ok with them and happy etc. Where as Beth who has lived away from Brad and T for over 20 years is still pissed off at both of them. Do me a favour.

It is just dumping on Beth by TPTB. I agree no way Piper would be this happy over it, planning hen nights same with Terese. I mean i am glad they have all moved on i agree it is Bizzare.

The Jacka thing is such rubbish. Yes we know he is doddgy, but hardly a villian. Ned clearly knew him as there was hints to this when Ned 1st came. So i am guessing they were in the same gang circle. So he would have known Jacka's wife or somebody he knew would have known. Just smacks of desperation. Ben Hall must be pissed if they bought Ned back for a poor S/L like this.

Yes, the continuing story of St Steph the Martyr is getting old.

I swear all Daphne used to do was bake soufflés!

Were none of the rescuers bothering to find the pilot and co-pilot and make sure they were ok?

Steph's crash was random. She knew what Jacka was going to do, why didn't she phone one the women or Mark (or Terese who could contact the balloon company).

Re Karl and the hammer drill - wouldn't a doctor need to scan a patient to see where any pressure build up is and therefore where to release the pressure from, rather than just drilling into their head and hoping for the best?


That was very strange. And how convenient that the only person who would recognise her happened to be asleep.

Bear in mind that he is hungover and isnt in the best state of mind to be treating the injured.

Mike the pilot was okay he was sitting up and Karl went to him. Don't know about the other guy though. Paige being her usual selfish self and saving only herself then. That was quite random just deciding to jump out.

Maybe it could be seen as selfish, but when your life is in danger your survival instincts kick in, and I don't think it was random, if someone sees water ahead probably a few would do the same in my opinion and she did tell everyone they should jump.

Looks like Karl is going to get into trouble for his efforts...

Hhhmmmmmmm... barely, and very quietly. A quick "We should jump". Sounded more rhetorical than actually giving a sh!te about your own Mother.

Dr Karl must be a neurosurgeon too. What a guy.

I didn't think she said it quietly, but they were all scared and who knows how you would react in a life threatening situation, I doubt you'll be thinking clearly.

Unless I missed something Paige said "we should jump" then Lauren said no but Paige jumped anyway???
