Mark, yet again, behaving totally unprofessionally towards Paul when Paul is talking to his daughter. Mark is a complete hypocrite when he makes on that he likes to be professional when it comes to his job. I suppose that only happens when he's not dealing with Paul then. Brad's starting to get just as bad as Terese when it comes to wanting Paul locked up instead of wanting the truth. Terese is getting on my nerves now. It's like she's wanting Paul locked up no matter who else is suspected of causing the explosion. There's something suspicious about Terese's desperation for Paul to be locked up no matter who's brought in for questioning over it. I really hope that Mark doesn't go to court when Paul goes. He'll let his emotions take over and make assumptions or give off impressions about him. He's very unprofessional. I think Ned's behaving slimy towards Lauren. I think he's too arrogant. Again, I look forward to the episode where Paul is shown to be innocent. Well, I hope he is anyway.

Oh, bye Nate! He really loves Erinsborough and his family and friends doesn't he? Quicker and lamer exit than Kyle. Why bother bringing him back at all I wonder?!

That would be appropriate Karma!

Pretty much most of us I'd say.

Almost up to date with Neighbours after a week away on holiday.
Angus is vile.
Ben needs to stop whinging.
Poor Xanthe.
Someone please slap Piper.
The producers really need to find a believable love interest for Tyler - one that doesn't make him look like a dirty old man.
Agree with all the above! Especially BIB!

I'm wondering why they brought Meyne Wyatt back too, I guess just to wrap things up with the Kennedys and Aaron. They needn't have bothered, it was all over and done with in a pretty fast way. But I will miss Nate, I'd really grown to like that character a lot.

I really like Nate as well, I'll miss him. He did them a favour coming back so they could tie up the loose ends, yet they still dealt with him going in one episode - and it wasn't even the main story in that episode! I didn't like his reason for leaving either, after all that he's been through I find it hard to believe he'd rejoin the armed forces.

I really want this to happen too! Terese and Lauren deserve better than Brad.
I agree that Lauren does, but not Terese. I used to think she was horrible, then found her more bearable after Brad left her... that didn't last long!!

Neither of them deserve better than Brad. Both slept with him when he was married to someone else. They knew what they were getting into especially Lauren as she's been there before. I know we are meant to think they were made for each other in and in love all those years ago but that's far from true. Brad loved Beth but found it hard to keep little Brad in his pants or make his mind up. It's hard to believe that he'd cheat on Beth so fast once they were married then leave her for Terese when Ned was a baby. It also defies all reason that he'd then be faithful until his old fling dropped her drawers again. Was it not Brad who gave Lauren chlamydia leaving her infertile??

This is how todays episode should have ended. It would have had more impact. Please choose your favourite.

Didn't Terese say she never knew Brad was married when they started fooling around. It was only when Beth dumped Brad she swooped in. Not excusing her behaviour, just saying it seemed to be a different situation to the Lauren one.

On the rest you are right Brad and Lauren are not soul mates it is not or has even been belivable they are. I am guessing had Terese been cast as Beth, Brad and Beth would have survived.

Tyler just doesn't work at all. Aside from being camp, he's very effeminate, always giving advice like a woman would, hanging around with teens five-to-six years younger than him, that creepy friendship he has with Piper. Who is he? What is he? If he left tomorrow would anyone notice? When he first arrived he seemed like a bad boy figure and I was SO excited by him. But he has been an enormous disappointment.

There was a chlamydia storyline but then, by the miracles of soap, along came Paige, Mason, Bailey and Amber. Lol litte Brad has more life in him than Big Brad does.

I clearly remember Imogen mentioning, when Brad and Terese announced they had decided to separate, that he left Beth because he loved Terese more but these storyliners seem to swap and change their writing to suit the situation. Doug was approving/disapproving of all of Brad's women at one time or another depending which was meant to be the one in favour at the time.

The writers yet again giving me great reasons to hate Sonya. Like father like daughter. She has mirrored exactly what he did in his life. But wanted acceptance and forgiveness from everyone on Ramsey Street. But now gets pee'd off at her dad for doing what she has done for years....sigh.

Good riddance to that spitting image rubber face Nate. Never did like him at all to be honest. Still bemused at peoples reactions to Tyler liking Piper. Maybe it was more common when I was younger, but I know a few couples from my school days where the guys were up to 10 years older than the girls, but 35 years on they are all still together, with the age difference mattering less the older they get. Not that I ever thought it mattered at all.

Need to read up on what happens with Paul as it is getting on my man boobs now.

Sonya, get so worked up that you have a heart attack and drop dead....just the character of course!

Yes, I think you are right that Terese didn't know that Brad was married when they first met.

It's hard to believe he could hide a wife and newborn baby considering old Brad was as thick as mince and new Brad isn't much better. I think the fact that the twins are a year younger than Ned makes it harder to comprehend how he managed to have an affair, get a divorce, get remarried and knock up Terese. Unless he was cheating when Beth was pregnant and started the divorce proceedings straight away. I'm sure I'd enjoy it all more if history hadn't been rewritten and the kids were all so close in age. Also Ned looks way older than 20. What's irritating me is that Ned kissed Lauren when she was in swimwear round the pool so what does she do but pop on that swimming costume and sit by the pool again. I'd be covered head to toe and hiding away indoors if it was me. Wasn't that the swimming costume she was wearing when Brad fell into her arms?

I just want this damn explosion storyline to finish. To think it's been going on since April and just going round and round in circles! Most episodes are now focused on this and it's just getting so tedious and boring. Shame as the explosion week was quite good.

I'm guessing they didn't marry when the girl was still at school - are Piper and Tyler likely to marry and live happily ever after? Doubt it - nobody does in a soap! And Piper is way too immature - only a few weeks ago she was defying her parents to be with Brodie, who she 'lurved' so much!

Paul business getting on my embonpoint as well - in fact the whole 'who blew up Lassiters has turned into one big yawn!

Also agree about Sonya!

Another poster said they thought Neighbours didn't know what to do with Tyler, and I think they were right. He does't really seem to have a purpose any more - has no mates except kids way too young for him. Maybe he'll hang around with his brother more now that Nate's gone.

Talking of Aaron, in his mission to save the teens from the wrath of Tom, I don't see why Piper should be kept out of it. She should sell the computer on ebay or get her parents to buy it for her, and reimburse Ben. Surely such a high-minded young 'genius' would do the right thing? Or is she just as selfish as she seems to be?

Although I don't want them to go to jail, I hope parents etc find out what the four of them have been up to and ground them all! It sends out the wrong message is any of them gets off with this!

the balance of the age ranges in the show is massively uneven, Tyler's only real friend his own age range now is Paige after Nate and Imogen left and Paige is being badly written with the John Doe obsession.
