I did like the tiny cop busting in and arresting Ned whilst telling Brennan he was out of order interviewing him in the coffee shop. Finally a police officer who knows the law.
It's a shame that Brennan then had to take over and make the arrest himself. |

You're right. When I went into labour with my first I wore a fitted winter coat to the hospital and every button buttoned and not one gaped.
A woman's size is more to do with the amount of amniotic fluid she is carrying than the baby itself. . We are meant to believe that Lauren wore crop tops and denim shorts at 5 months with no visible bump so why not Paige . We all know the termination mentioned at Blaze was leading to Paige threatening one to Jack though so I'd have a fiver on it being his.

Sonya's little smile annoyed me a bit, it wasn't about Mark, Steph or Toadie, it was all about the baby she's wanted for herself all along. I just hope that with Dee coming back that Toadie isn't going to be made the bad guy in this storyline.
I don't like Jack but I hope Paige's baby is his. Typer have enough going on without adding a baby into the mix plus they've already had the Piper/Paige angst and once was enough. What's the point of Jack being made a regular if they're not going to give him any storylines other than being a priest? They don't seem to write storylines these days where families hang out with anyone besides their own family members they just exist in their own separate bubbles, I hope that changes, the cricket match in the 2017 promo looks promising, I miss the community feeling Neighbours used to have. |

It was good to see Lou with a chance of settling down but the reunion with Kathy (who still looks great btw) was a bit glib, considering we never saw this tumultous, turbulent romance on-screen. Lou was long-divorced when he first showed up and we only met Kathy a couple of years ago.

But that is what would make it more interesting. The whole priest stuff is so predictable, whereas I'm not at all sure how Tyler would react to becoming a father.

Is this seriously off for 4 weeks? WTF? So will we see Christmas down under or will it jump 4 weeks? At some point there has to be a jump in time. Particularly when their phones always tie up with the date it's shown.

I don't like Tyler as Paige's babys father but not Jack either. Has it been confirmed that Paige is actually pregnant though? Sometimes those home tests aren't accurate.

You have a point, with Jack it is more predictable. He probably would leave priesthood, propose to Paige but she may say "no" because he is just doing it for the baby and he will be torn about his choices. With Tyler, I am not sure either how he'd react to becoming a father. I do not think he is someone who thinks about children, he can be so impulsive and he does seem like a father type. But I don't think he'd leave Paige and the baby on their own either. But what would be annoying is, if Tyler is going to switch between the Willis sisters all over again, like his only love interest can only be one of the sisters and he switches every few weeks.

It will be a bit of a kick in the teeth for Mark, who is so desperate to be a father, if his brother has got his ex pregnant

It's a shame channel 5 don't have the rights to show the really old Neighbours episodes, would be good to watch them while we wait for it to come back on.

You'd think as Neighbours is pretty much geared towards us Brits now that they could change their production model. Our soaps go all year and the casts still get time off over Christmas and New Year. Neighbours are missing a trick by going off air for the five weeks when shows have a captive audience!

No, we now see the show on the same day as the Aussie do. They always have a four week Xmas break, now so do we.

Why is it any more captive than at any other time of the year? Life goes on pretty much up to midnight Christmas Eve and starts again on Boxing Day these days. And viewing figures are actually lower for everything in Christmas week. It would actually make sense for UK soaps to adopt the Aussie pattern rather than the other way round.

Since Neighbours is over for another year, ive decided to do some "Neighbours Awards" which could be quite interesting to see what everyone classes as their favourite moments of the year. Please add your own lists, or if you feel that this is a bad idea then feel free to ignore it!
Best Actor Stefan Dennis. His portrayal of Paul when he was wrongly convicted of the Hotel Explosion was fantastic. Even though we all knew all the bad things that Paul had done in the past, you still managed to feel very sorry for Paul and that was due to the excellent acting from Stefan Dennis. Best Actress Mavournee Hazel. Some fantastic acting from Mavournee this year. Her acting during the Hotel Explosion, when she was informed of Josh's death was amazing. She seems to steal scenes with some amazing performances over the year. Best Permanent Newcomer With only Xanthe, Gary, Jack and the Tanaka's to choose from it has to be Gary. Although he has appeared before he was only a temporary character back then and now he has been brought back as a regular we seem to have seen a change from Gary and he has become an incredibly entertaining and fun character. His relationship with Sheila and Xanthe has been fantastic and the Canning family have become on of the best Neighbours families. Best Guest Character Ned Willis. Having a vendetta against Brad, falling in love with Lauren, burning Jacka's mums house down. It has been an interesting year with Ned. There seems to be a lot more to come from the character, lets hope he gets a permanent role. Best Departure It has to be Josh Willis' death. Very well acted from Harley Bonner and it was one of the most gripping Neighbours scenes in years. Best Storyline Hotel Explosion. It had the lot. The best week of Neighbours episodes since the Plane Crash. Most Improved Character Sheila Canning. She has really come into her own with more family coming into the show. Sheila when she is angry is just fantastic. Neighbours would be much worse off without her. Worst Storyline Fairly random but Aaron just becoming a social media expert and a boxing promoter was way too far fetched. Worst Actor/Actress Kip Gamblin. That dreadful acting of a man who has lost his son and father on one day was some of the worst acting you will see. He just couldnt be bothered to put any effort in. |

Best Actor
Stefan Dennis. Damien Richardson a close second. Best Actress Kate Kendall Best Permanent Newcomer Gary easily. Though I like Xanthe and the Tanaka twins. I even like Elly. No duds which is fantastic Best Guest Character Ned Willis. I really like him with Elly. Best Departure I guess Josh Willis. It sure wasn't Kyle's. Best Storyline N/A Most Improved Character Aaron Brennan. The acting has improved from Matt Wilson and his friendship with Amy is great. Yes he's had a few meh stories but overall he's a great character. Worst Storyline The stupid baby quad with Sonya, Toadia, Mark & Steph. Just shit. It's managed to ruin two great couples. Worst Actor/Actress Jenna Rosenow. Thank god she's gone. |
