Aww 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.

Just wish she wouldn't do all that 'Yeah but no but...' stuff veery time she opens her mouth! The ditsy act just doesn't appeal - seems so contrived!

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

Brad could have easily hid his other life, depending on where they met etc. I am guessing That Brad had his affair when he went away from the town him and Beth lived. Lets remember Brad would have still had the cheating mentality as it would be a few years after he left ramsey street. Only difference is his affair did not live in the same street.

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

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.

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.

It's her house and her pool, why should have to hide indoors? And what does Brad have to do with anything? After the towel dropping incident Lauren told Ned he was being inappropriate and asked him to stop. He clearly carried on playing up to her with the whole cologne thing knowing he was making her uncomfortable then went ahead and kissed her. Even if Lauren does have feelings she's denying no still means no. I can't stand men who think no really means yes and the woman is just playing hard to get. That's on Ned, not Lauren.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I agree I think it makes her more believable when she does her stuttering.

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.

With the way Neighbours has been written ever since the explosion. It would not shock me if JD was the real Ned. Think though their is too much to say that Ned is the real Ned.

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.

Didn't they already have the Brennan brothers footage? I guess it was a simple case of switching them back in and editing Aaron out of Sheila and Steph's scene. Although I would have thought it would be no less effort to edit Kyle out and a piece of piddle to simply remove Imogen and Daniel altogether.

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 !

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.

That would obviously mean Brad and Terese would start asking questions about how a not exactly wealthy Ben or Xanthe could afford to buy Piper a new and not cheap MacBook/MacBook Pro. This is why Ben, Xanthe, Angus and Aaron are keeping this secret between themselves.

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.

I think Tyler does work. He's a great character, IMO. I think it's a little offensive to say that as a guy, giving out empathetic, practical advice means he's effeminate. Men can give out decent advice without being reduced to a gender stereotype. I'm a male student psychotherapist, and embodying all of those skills that Tyler has is important - and I'm not a stereotype that you describe.

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.

Of course she had a choice. She could have borrowed a friend's computer or - as with millions of other people - not had a video at all. It's a luxury item, it's not like Ben procured her a kidney.
