I just watched it and she did say that they should jump

Piper had a line where she said Paige said a tree had broken her fall.

Brad's "They've crashed." announcement in yesterday's episode was just the most pathetic acting from Kip Gamblin yet. He announced it as though he'd just found out that Piper had handed in her homework late, rather than the fact that the death toll in his family this year may have just risen to 5!


Haven't seen today's - that's bad enough, but I take it she either asked about her family, or Jack reassured her they were alive before they did the deed?


After the pilot said to assume the brace position, Paige said "Should we jump? It could be our best chance!" and Lauren replied "Don't even say that". Then Paige sat down for a few moments before she impulsively stood and bailed out.

Paige actually did a good thing for all her fellow passengers by jettisoning herself out of the basket. The pilot was chucking out the fuel barrels as he said he needed to lower the basket weight to control their descent. So Paige jumping out lowered the weight even further, therefore, maybe it's because of her, the pilot was able to prevent them from having a worse crash?

I can't blame her for her actions in jumping out - it was a fight or flight response from her. She chose flight (ironically in the case of a non-flying balloon!) while the others chose to stay and deal with the situation head-on.

However, as others have said, it's not great that she hasn't told her worried family that she's fine.

Also, I'm not sure sex is the recommended treatment for shock. Perhaps we should all carry out our individual research on that and report back?

Loving Neighbours this week!! I actually thought the balloon crash was done well, a lot better than what I imagined.

I know it's wrong but I love that after the crash the first thing Paige did was have sex with Jack in a shed.. completely forgetting about her family

Yep...cos she's never forgotten about her family before during a time of crisis. No new hair do this time (I don't think) but a face of perfectly applied make up after jumping from a balloon, landing in a damn and having rampant sex with Jack.

By the way, have ye seen who's making a return to Neighbours??!!

Who is going to save Steph if Karl is busy performing brain surgery with a Black and Decker? Georgia is in Germany or Peru or wherever so no nurse either.

New dodgy doctor David?

But how did she end up in the water? when Paige looked I'm sure I saw a lake or river.

Nonsense, Brad was nowhere near Paige when she landed.

Look, Paige finally got the D from Father Jack. And that is the most important thing. The injured are coincidentals.

No, Paige did suggest jumping and Lauren said No, that they should follow the instructions in the previous scene. I rechecked it yesterday. It's straight after the pilots throw the canisters out to lighten the load.

I've just watched that point in the episode on Dailymotion and Paige doesn't say anything. She doesn't say anything in the episode on Five's site as she gets up either. I don't know what you and the other two are watching but it's not the same as what I've watched.

Edit: Right, just after the fella drops the first canister Paige says: "Okay, jump. It could be our best chance".

I don't mind the sex part (though not with a priest) but i'm not jumping out of a balloon as foreplay!

I don't think we saw her ask about her family onscreen. Jack did mention Piper to her post coitou.

I hate the smug smirk on her face just as Jack took his dog collar off and she realised what was about to happen. Yuck.

She definitely said it when I watched last night (5 On Demand) because I was reading the debate about what she said on here at the same time so I watched out for it.

The characters weren't on screen iirc. It was kind of in voice over as we watched the cannisters falling over the side of the basket.

It wasn't as she got up, it was in the prior scene before she sat down. Check that.

I recorded it on Five's 13.45 showing yesterday.

Yeah, it seems that I was focusing on a later part.

Bit annoyed that Paige got her way and got Jack. It would have been good to have a long term priest. They only made him a priest to create this storyline which is sad really. Neighbours has been due a priest.

I'm afraid you're right, at least for the second bit.

Have been away so haven't seen Neighbours for about two weeks, but why was bloody Elly on the hen party? Lauren has said she doesn't trust her, and there's bad blood between her and Piper, so why?

Well if you live on Ramsay Street you arent allowed to have friends from elsewhere! So Elly will have to do!

Suppose you're right - pity they didn't take the chance to off her!

But now Paul will be busy concealing evidence to protect the devil child!

Brennan and his CPR... Just another reason to dislike him!
