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.
I'm really liking Sonya recently - I think she is being fair with Walter really, if anything I'd say its Toadie who is not giving him a decent chance to redeem himself. Sonya letting him look after Nell today was a big deal, and I suspect may have been just as beneficial to Walter as attending an AA meeting, maybe more so.

I love Sonya but have to admit I found today's episode a bit nauseating with her and Walter and nell!

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 agree this rewriting for the Willis history is silly. I bet They will have this Ned be a fake. |

We just need Mrs Mitchell's other bit on the side (a middle-aged man from Thailand) to show up so we can get an explanation for Jade.

I don't see Terese as a victim at all. Yes she wasn;t originally responsible for setting Paul up, but nobody forced her to carry out the decision to pay off Cecilia to make Paul look guilty. It was her choice and she has no right to drag other people into her decision or blame anyone but herself. |

No one said Terese was a victim. Not sure what she has to do with Ned and Lauren either.

As for Ned, sounds like, from what he was saying to Tyler that he's not going to give up on chasing Lauren and is still keen. It infuriates me that some men just keep coming on to a woman even after they've clearly said they don't want this, something happens and who gets all the blame - the woman of course for being a p***cktease while they sit back all innocent and making out that she wanted it all the time. Ugh. ![]()

I don't think they did Lauren any favours with the Ned kiss. She literally just stood there like a shop dummy while he planted one on her. Hands up anyone here who would see someone come in for a kiss on the lips and just freeze. You pull away! God this show is bad for my blood pressure!

She was too shocked to react at first I think, then did pull away.
Aww gotta love that little Nellyfish, though that stupid rhyme is now stuck in my head! ![]() Sonia and Nell's doing the actions together was super cute. Talking about pulling away, John has a hot young woman like Paige throwing herself into his arms but he doesn't seem interested. He senses he's connected to someone but could it be Paige - like they're related or something and that's why he doesn't kiss her or make a move? And when will we find out why Ned's name wasn't on Joshs headstone? These storylines need to be wrapped up, I can't cope.

I don't blame Lauren or think she's a tease and I still think Ned is doing it on purpose to cause hurt to Brad but if it was me I'd be staying away and covering up to avoid any future swimwear/kissing situations. Lauren did have a good look when Ned's towel "accidentally" fell off and it was obvious she quite liked what she saw but she doesn't deserve to feel uncomfortable around him. She should be telling Brad as Ned is not backing off and is making her feel bad in her own home. I just think she should avoid those sort of situations knowing what Ned is feeling (or is pretending to feel) until she either tells Brad or has Ned move out. He's not getting the hint so why put herself in a situation that makes her feel bad? Also I think she has a magic swimming costume that drives Willis men mad 😉.
I don't think Ned is a fake - Doug and Pam knew him and they had him live with them for years so would know him better than Brad or Josh. |

Giving my opinion, or is that not allowed now? I've seen a few comments around that seem to think Terese can't be blamed for setting Paul up.

Ugh. ![]() ![]() As for Lauren and Ned. She needs to tell Brad as she appears uncomfortable. Ned only has himself to blame if it ruins his relationship with Brad (lets be honest, he will leave hating Brad still). She is the older one out the 2 and needs to use her head. No point telling Brad not to keep secrets and she do the same thing. |

Of course you can give your opinion. It just that no one that i can see said she is a victim for setting him up. Maybe a victim of cheating by Brad but not Paul. Infact her recent behaviour has been condem.

I originally thought John Doe would be Ned Willis and 'Ned' would be an imposter but that doesn't make sense. Baby swap? |

See I'm the opposite - I love the way Sonya speaks, I find it very 'real' and believeable, I think it adds massively to the character. Each to their own of course, but she's one of my faves at the moment.

Thank god for that. I found his character so incredibly dull and kinda irritating. |

Well to be fair she did try, but Brad's in one ear saying how happy he is to have Ned back in his life and Ned's in the other manipulating her with his 'don't tell Daddy' routine. Keeping quiet will backfire on her. Brad''s likely to think she and Ned were more involved than they were, but i can understand why she feels guilty about her attraction to Ned and wants to push those feeling away.

Brad's just as bad as Terese now when it comes to this explosion business. I hope it backfires on them both and that they're shown to be wrong about Paul. I'll be shocked if it turns out that Paul has been lying all this time. I think Terese has actually lost it when it comes to Paul and the explosion. It's like she wants Paul specifically to go to jail. Brad was, at first, just after the truth, but he's now just as bad as Terese. I can't see Aaron being able to raise $8,000 in two weeks. If Xanthe hadn't have been stupid enough to flaunt her share of the $10,000 in photos online, Tom would likely have had no idea who took his money.

It's strange how some characters hang around for ages in the credits after they leave (Kyle/Imogen/Daniel/Naomi) but Nate was swiftly edited out/removed.

I don't get why everyone is desperate to keep Piper out of it. Is it because she's the only one that didn't actually steal?
She still profited from the proceeds of crime with a shiny new Macbook, even after she knew where the money had come from (and let's face it, who wouldn't question how Ben could afford it in the first place, let alone accept such an extravagant gift from a fellow teenager) she had no intention of giving it up. So her shite stinks just as much as the rest of the teenagers. All in the name of her tedious vlogging. |

Instead of keeping Piper out of it, he should ask her to sell the laptop or ask her parents to pay for it. She can'r sit backhand let her mates take all the flak - she knew qi=uite early on that the money was stolen !

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?
Tyler may lack direction, but he's still awesome. I'm liking the Sonya/Walter story, but can't help feeling he has more secrets. Toadie is being very unreasonable, though. I'm disappointed no one has mentioned Jade and what this revelation means for her. |

Piper has no choice but to keep the MacBook. Her MacBook got damaged and she needed a one so she could make a video for her grandad's funeral. She'll have probably have hated keeping it, but knew that she needed it. Her reaction to how Ben was able to afford it was being furious with him when she was told.
