God imagine the uproar on here if it turns out Scott Robinson is their dad!

Hi and welcome!

I really like David now, so I hope he and Aaron can get together. I've also become very fond of Aaron and Amy, they're two of my favourites as well.

Feel the same about Toadie watching him grow up and loved his friendship with Billy Kennedy. He can be a bit judgemental though and I dislike that but generally I think he's great.

Not sure Brad should be lying to Lauren tbh. Not a great way to start a marriage tbh.

Agreed. Storyline would only have worked if Leo Tomato had been drunk when he made the bet with Teeth and immediately regretted it the next day and begged her to forget it when he realised he was actually developing feelings for Female Kyle.

Welcome 😀

For years I thought Special Delivery Brennan was the most wooden actor on tv. Then Father Jack Whack the boxing priest turned up with his permanent dweeb facial expressions to make me begin doubting myself.

Teeth drains the life out of me when she speaks, probably due to me not caring who she is and her inability not to sigh at the same time she talks. And as for Drab, whenever I have trouble sleeping I like to visualise him counting sheep while tilting his head to the side, sighing ostentatiously, and running his hand through his grease monkey's hair.

There is a Brad on the street who accumulates children from various backgrounds as his offspring. The tomato twins could add to the long list of drab children

The actor who plays Aaron has improved hugely - he was just so wooden before. I am a little shocked at great granny Tanaks's last words, tbh!! 'turn away from homosexuality as it will only make you unhappy' - wow ! I am also picking up a very anti catholic vibe from the writers . First Jack giving into the flesh, every single teenager that turns up at Blaze being weary of a catholic preist due to 'stuff in the media' and now granny T. I think will all can guess that Paige will be one of the pregnancies due to her and Jack's fling,. I really hope Sonia is the other one because this storyline does need to be played out. Btw can someone please tell the actor who plays Leo to stand up straight and try more facial expressions than the two he seems to constatntly use - smiking and 'looking like he is in pain'

Brad really is the most pathetic man on the planet isn't he? His son and father are murdered and his reaction is like that of someone who's pet goldfish has just died. Then he starts bankrolling the murderers mother. Now he's allowing himself to be threatened and blackmailed by her. This woman's son murdered two of his closest family he owes her absolutely nothing. So Ned burnt down her house he should face his punishment for that like a man, but that pales in comparison to her sons crimes. What's he going to do next start smuggling little treats into prison for Jacka to make his sentence more bearable? Or maybe track down Cody's killers and hand them a big cheque?

Agree. That's the way it's heading.

I know right? I picked up on this from the start- he always slouches and it's really annoying!

He really is pointless tbh. There's no depth to him and he's very dull.

God I know. Talking about his dead father and dead son with as much emotion as a pint of milk from Harold's.

Those were the days!

But seriously was he as supportive of Josh when he was pushing him to compete in the Olympics? (really silly that I thought!) Ned appears to have a real hold over him and I cannot imagine starting out married life with such an enormous secret which he has not shared with Lauren. It could quite likely come back and bite him on the bum and she is completely unaware. On the other hand I cannot see any spark between them at all now - Lauren just panders to Paige's every wish and I just wish Paige would leave.

Brad should have heaps of depth, but Kip Gamblin doesn't convey that. It's such a shame they chose to cast Kip in this role. He's sadly not a strong enough actor.


It's like no-one thought to look past personal judgement to see that Paige was making a point that needed to be taken seriously. Brad made it personal, Jack made it personal, while Paige had the kids best interests at heart from the start. If they had been objective, they could have had Jack take more of a back seat, like a silent partner, while scouting for a new counsellor.

I think you're right about David's Great-Grandmother; she favoured him, had no problem being around Aaron (she may not have known he is gay), and was probably trying to protect him. She probably didn't mean to sound cruel. She's already protecting them from their father, so it would make sense that she would want to protect David from getting hurt. Sadly, all he heard was rejection and shame.

Meanwhile, the Sheila/Lou scenes made for some great lightheartedness. Weird seeing Trixie Tucker back. I did like Lou gravitating towards Kathy's cookbook, opening his eyes to what's in front of him.

Nice to Xanthe is in possession of the Ramsay Street Brain.

well this is what is confusing me: if the brothers wanted to find out stuff about the residents of ramsey street in the 80's Paul is the perfect person as he has lived on the stree for years and his family know lots of people. I have not seen a scene where David or Leo have been pointed in Pauls direction. Plus, there has been no mention of their mothers name . I am actually really bored of this storyline. there are much easier ways of finding out who your dad is without having to hang onto the ramblings of your elderly relative.

well yesterday Brad said he was 'making up' for things he missed with Ned, but I thought he sorted that out - it was Ned's mum that kept him and Ned apart. Anyway as many of have said Maxines son caused the death of Brads father and son with a deliberate act. Can she prove ned burnt her house down? and now of course we have paul getting in on the act - for someone who is 'in love' with Therese he really is quite warped!

he's doing it as he still feels guilt for not making sure he played a bigger part in Ned's life

I'm gonna say it - i DON'T MIND ELLY. There, its out there!! I just wish the writers would make up their mind about her . Is she 'off key' , is she 'ill', or is she just the most overdressed and inappropriately dressed teacher in Austrailia?? they really haven't given her a place in the grand scheme of things. And how does she know Leo????

Stefan Dennis was just an option for an answer on the Chase just now, sadly no Neighbours mention

Minor annoyance but i wish they wouldnt insert dialogue with characters eating. Had to mute the scene with the Cannings earlier.


Well Paige made it personal as well, she just did what she did because of Jack. I wouldnt say she had the best interests entirely. If Jack had never turned up i doubt Paige would have ever had any involvement in it.

Was really nice to see Trixie back, albeit for just one episode. These one episode returns seem to be a Herbison thing, we have had Tom Ramsay, Guy Carpenter, Des Clarke and now Trixie. Would be nice to have them in for a few more episodes but it is fairly dependent on the budget. Lou has been very good on his return so far and he and Sheila are fantastic. Sheila seems to make the show at the moment.

I probably missed something, but exactly what did Ned do to Jacka's mum?

He burnt her house down

He shouldn't be nor still running to his ex wife with his problems while keeping Lauren in the dark. They're not even married yet but I can't see it lasting long.

Great to see Trixie but I'm more glad Lou seems to be having second thoughts about Kathy.

She's kinda growing on me too this last week I'm almost ashamed to say! The actress has presence and could develop into a great neighbours bad girl. I just find it impossible to believe she's a teacher or understand, like you say, how she turned up out of nowhere and is so close to Lurch Tomato! The false teeth are also horribly distracting.

I think if she'd been introduced better and ran say a beauty parlour or salon and been unequivocally a villain rather than so contrary she'd be much better served. I think she'd be a perfect business and romantic partner for Paul. Much more than Constant Awkward Glancing Around Her In Every Scene She's In Therese.

Anyone else disappointed Lou's old flame wasn't Annaleese or Harold?

I don't mind Elly at all. It's just Paige who gets on my wick.
