Indeed. Lol. Although i think Piper may be legal. Her and Tyler are still creepy.
Did you see her today? School uniform, pig tails and lipstick. A very popular style, especially in the Japanese "film" industry.

never thought i would say it but i am fed up with Terese at the moment, every single episode with her is repetitive. Blame Paul for the explosion, complain to Mark that she has seen him, look at bottle, drink from bottle, go to sleep, wake up, blame Paul for the explosion and so on.......
terese is normally one of my most favourite characters and i know she is going through hell but i am really not liking her much at the moment!!
i'm wondering if its partly deliberate on the writers parts to get us to root more for brad and lauren...
i do think brad is still an annoying wet blanket but i'm really liking lauren again after really thinking she was awful for what she did to terese

when he confronted Aaron and Nate after 'the drop' he said the police had said it was probably taken by looters. So he has told the cops it was stolen.

If it was 'dirty money' then they would be in even more bother - but please no more Tomato!

Tyler continued to look like a tw*t today, sitting beside his 'bestie' with his man bun! Please grow up Tyler! And didn't Piper look daft sitting there with her iPhone 'interviewing' PR? Honestly! Are we meant to take it seriously, that a kid would be trusted to do such an interview. And now she's gone and made another unwise posing online!
Thanks for the reminder - I must have zoned out during that scene.

Agree, Piper's interviewing of Paul was pretty cringeworthy. The whole 'blame Paul' storyline is so ridiculous, and hasn't really moved forward since he was arrested. Really fed up of it.

Id say she is having a meltdown. The whole life is collasped and i think she feels she is on her own. I agree she needs to snap out of it but it is not easy too.

Yeah they should have just done a who done it, rather than this predictable Paul not doing it rubbish. We all know this is how he will get the hotel back with the Quills going to jail or being forced out if town.

Not sure how this would get us rooting for Boreaduren. I think they are giving her A proper Sl, which she never had before outside of Boreaduren love triangle.

I agree, all she's been through and trying to cope with it on her own. What would have been her support network is gone, Brad is off with Lauren, her brother arrested and presumably in prison, Josh dead and Imogen burgered off to America. Only family left is Piper who is busy hanging around with Tyler and seems to be completely self absorbed, for instance posting the video of Paul with no care for how it would affect her mother.

Usually we'd see saint Sonya blundering in , but even she is too busy being mayor to sort everyone else's problems.

Ooh, Part 3, but why the title change? The other one was easier to spot.

Anyway, do we know for certain that Tom Quill's money from the safe was legitimately earned? I can see it being dodgy, which would prevent him from reporting the theft by our moralistic teen heroes. Then the little darlings would get off Scot-free, or will more likely to be subjected to some sort of threat by Tom Quill.

Angus trying to be all smooth on his date with Xanthe, in that scene in Harold's was extremely toe-curling. I don't think we've had such a poor quality teen actor for some time. I know Harley Bonner's acting skills were criticised on here, but he's like Olivier in comparison to Angus!
Have you forgotten Mason????

Do you think the scriptwriters even know who the real culprit is? Nobody seems to have yet determined exactly what caused the explosion, which I would have thought would have been discovered by now by a proper forensic investigation. Paul hasn't been actually charged, which probably means they still don't know what happened. Ludicrous suspicion of Ned - they're really casing around, aren't they?

Did anyone else wonder if that violent storm is going to lead to anything? Seems a bit strange to put it in unless a tree is going to crash down on something, or some other 'stormy' thing!

I know, The long title made it stick out.

I'm only really replying to that to make it easier to find the thread

Oh, and enough with the Piper guff!
Heartily agree!

What Terese did yesterday was evil, OK Paul has done some pretty terrible things in the past but two wrongs don't make a right. She could end up messing up the case herself if it comes to light that she is playing a part in creating false evidence.

I think Lauren is great and personally I never had any difficulty believing that Brad would run to her when Terese was being vile, she had improved after their split but clearly she is slipping back into some less pleasant habits, and more besides!

Haha, well he was nearly 3 years ago!

I'd actually rather watch 30 minutes of solid Mason than 30 seconds more of Angus!

Terese seems to want Paul put in prison without waiting to see if he really is guilty. Piper was more rational and level headed than her. Terese seems to be obsessed with trying to get Paul locked up as fast as possible. It makes me wonder if she had anything to do with it. She seems to be focusing on trying to get Paul locked up instead of finding out the truth. I dunno....something seems a bit fishy about Terese right now. Mark's just as bad as well. He's been very unprofessional with this case. He's completely let his feelings about Paul affect how he did his job. A bad copper and a hypocrite. I wouldn't mind seeing Xanthe and Ben getting together. I think they'd be good together.

Paige and Mr dull continue to be boring.
Coma inducingly boring. I love a good amnesia story, and Neighbours usually delivers an entertaining tale, like when Harold thought he was a guy called Ted, Susan believing she was 16, and Nicola's fake amnesia, but this is being so boringly played. There are parts of the story that are interesting, like the dark web angle, but the actor is not putting an effort into his character. His missing posters were more interesting than he is. I'm afraid that when John does remember who he is, it will be a let down.

never thought i would say it but i am fed up with Terese at the moment, every single episode with her is repetitive. Blame Paul for the explosion, complain to Mark that she has seen him, look at bottle, drink from bottle, go to sleep, wake up, blame Paul for the explosion and so on.......
I thought more people would empathise with Terese more. She's holding on to her anger so tight, because if she for a second lets herself believe that Paul is innocent, then she'll be stuck in the unknown and not knowing is worse than falsely believing Paul is guilty. Her anger is the only thing keeping her going; without it she probably wouldn't be able to get up in the morning.

I know she did an awful thing paying off Cecilia, but she just buried her son and father-in-law, said goodbye to her eldest daughter, is battling the urge to drink (and failing). The woman is living in hell with only her annoying daughter for support.

Speaking of Piper, her and Tyler make better friends. Not every relationship has to be a romantic one.

Amy's flip flopping is so annoying. If you believe Paul is innocent then stand by him. Ditching him when the heat is on is just cruel.

So, is the search for Uncle Walter what was in Toadie's Red Folder? I bet he has secrets. Sonia's past is always full of dodgy secrets. I just realised who he looks like: the actor who played Kim Timmins.

I always found Therese a pretty unlikeable character while she was with Brad. To me she came across as a bit of a shrew, but I'm really feeling sorry for her at the moment.

She's dealing with the death of her son and her father in law, and grief on it's own as so many of us know can be pretty debilitating. I think she's also feeling guilty about the way she treated Josh just before his death about his proposed move to be with Amber and the baby. Until her and Brad split, there always seemed to be a bit of tension between her and Doug and she's probably regretting that too, whether her tension was on her part or Doug's - that's how it is with grief.

On top of that she'd also developed feelings for Paul - and must be suffering all manner of guilt and shame over that, given that it appears that Paul is responsible.

Therese is a woman holding on her sanity by a very fine thread and like someone up there ^ said, her anger is the only thing keeping her going.

Ironically, I think deep down she really doesn't want him to be guilty - remember that trip to the motel when she asked him to tell her the truth and said that she didn't believe him - but she can't even consciously contemplate that at the moment with so much else going on.

Oooh new thread. Agree about the previous title being easier to spot though.
Just about caught up on missed episodes now.

Just as I was starting to warm to Piper they start shoving the vlog stuff down our necks again. Make it stop! So now we are to believe she holds the key to restoring Paul's reputation and showing his innocence? I seriously hate the whole vlog thing though.

Don't get me started on Angus. No wonder Ben wants to give him a good pasting. What a ninny Xanthe is being sucked in by him! Not to mention Susan's protests to Karl.

The one thing more irritating than Piper's vlog and Angus? Paige and her fawning over John Doe. In fact Paige full stop. She needs to go on a long break visiting Bailey and Amber. Just like when Marlene Kratz went on that cruise. Wouldn't surprise me if Olympia leaves in the next year or so.

If the stuff I read about Toadies red folder secret is true, what a let down. Was hoping for something more meaty lol.

This is what I am confused about. They have said a number of times that Paul has been charged. At the same time he is still being treated as just a suspect.

I think it's far fetched that Terese caused the explosion. If that was the twist I don't think it would be believable. I don't blame her for blaming Paul for it considering his track record and that he deleted CCTV and hired somebody to sabotage the ceremony. It's easy to see why he has had the finger pointed at him. However, the investigation has been terrible and has served more as a way for Mark to harass Paul rather than gather sufficient evidence. Also, he has given up on other suspects too easily by accepting paper thin alibis. Mind you, he is only 1 man and the fact he was leading and managing the investigation for so long seemingly on his own was a farce. There should be a team of detectives investigating it each with their own specific roles.

I don't think Terese had anything to do with the boiler exploding, but other than that I agree with you - she and Mark are being far too dismissive of the possibility that someone other than Paul could be responsible. Piper is often very immature but I think she has been a lot more open minded about this; Terese makes out like she is against her, but its her brother and grandad who died, she wants justice as much as anyone! Even Brad today was willing to consider other possibilities.

I might be in the minority here, but I seriously cannot abide Piper and Tyler! How old are they both meant to be? It looks creepy as it comes across as a grown man lusting over a school girl.
