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.
Oh dear . Piper is 16 and Tyler is 24. I think he enjoys being a big brother figure to her and the kiss was a mistake on his part. She has a crush which vanished when Brodie came back then reappeared. She's fickle as are most children her age. Now you're going to hear about how perfect they are together because she's retro and deep and mature *sigh*. It's a contentious issue on here - rational people vs SS .

You're in the majority - the minority of one is the only person who thinks this is OK - and that Ben stealing money was 'noble'!

was there a kiss? Must have missed it - good job as I don't have my sick bag handy!

Not looking forward to all the eulogies you anticipate, especially when the perpetrator assumes anyone who tries to ignore his OTT comments is afraid of his superior articulacy, or 'can't stand the heat', or has 'their tail between their legs.'

Poster above is right - this is almost sad -old -man - in - a-mac-with-a -bag-of -sweets territory!

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!
I would not say what she did was evil at all. She regretted it straight away. She is a desperate woman who wants closure and believes Paul being guilty. Her doing this was her way of hoping to get closure. I think deep down she knows Paul is innocent but as all the evident points to him, he is the nearest thing to closure and justice she is going to get.

Lets be honest she has had a bad 10 months. Brad and Lauren have just lived happy in that time.

that's just it though, there is no evidence that points to Paul, only the harassment of Mark who in real life would have been suspended after all he interfered in the investigation with Paige and now turns up and bullies Paul when ever he feels like.

And even Mark admitted what little evidence they have is completely circumstantial;

Ok so the evidence is cirumstancial, but it does point one way. Most think Paul is guilty even his own family.

She has had a bad time - you can hardly blame her for reaching for the bottle!

I'm a bit confused about something. If Sonia knew her uncle when she was a child how is she not able to recognise him now?

Brad and Lauren have nothing to do with Terese deliberately setting up an innocent man to potentially spend years in jail for something he didn't do. I feel sorry for her that she's grieving the loss of her son, but that doesn't entitle her to break the law, not to mention the upseting effect it'd have on Paul's own family, just to get closure. if it's closure she wants she should let the authorities do their job and prosecute the real culprit legally.

I've always liked L:auren too, which is why I hope the writers aren't planning on any kind of fling with her and Ned. She's been great lately and I'd hate to see her slide back into being branded the homewrecker again.

I feel like the answer to that lies in the fake Uncle Walter story from 2013. Anyone remember the reason why Sonya believed a con man was her uncle?

No-one has said she is entitled to do what she did, just there are solid reasons for her behaviour. She's desperate for Paul to be guilty, for anyone to be guilty, as it is the only thing keeping her going. If there was another suspect, I believe she would transfer all of her anger onto that person in a heartbeat. I don't think she wants Paul to be guilty, but she needs him to be. Right now Terese isn't coping at all.

That would be a rather strange story. Lauren must be mid 40's and Ned is what? early 20's? Would be different if he was in his 30's, but I can't see Lauren going there.

I wondered this too but to be honest the whole SL is a bit silly. Toadie paying him off not to see Sonya is a tad extreme. Is that what the red file was about? Sonya's a big girl she should be able to decide herself whether she wanted to see Walter or not.

Yes she's grieving and wants to make someone pay which is understandable but in no way makes it a 'solid reason' to take the law into her own hands no matter how badly she's suffering. Amy and Jimmy don't deserve to lose Paul to jail and they would suffer unnecessarily because of Terese's need to exact revenge. I'm sorry she's not coping but that's still no excuse for what she's doing.

I never said Brad and Lauren are the reason she did what she did. i said she has had a harder 10 months than either of them have. I am not condoing what she is doing but she iscdesperare. Even Brad can see this he is keeping the secret. It is a action of a desperate woman who is not thinking straight.

Easy to say until your in that position.

Haha, well he was nearly 3 years ago!

I'd actually rather watch 30 minutes of solid Mason than 30 seconds more of Angus!
That may be because he is far, far away and his awfulness has diminished.

Terese seems to be taking Josh's death far worse than Brad does. And Brad lost his dad as well. Is this because her actor is better than Brads and the writers don't want to give him too much? Or is Brad gearing for a breakdown sometime? I mean we see him looking a bit frustrated at Josh's grave now and then but...that's it. Terese is having a full on meltdown, and I don't blame her for it tbh, I can't imagine losing a kid at all let alone like that. But...Brad doesn't really seem bothered at all?

Also I do think Doug's death was glossed over a lot, in comparison to Josh. I get that Josh's was more dramatic, but Doug was a longstanding Neighbour's character and I feel like he should have been more than just an afterthought. Obviously losing a son is much different than losing an old man who was already quite sick, but...it would have been nice to have some more focus on him.

I do think Brad is greiving he just has a better support network around him, While Teresecis pretty much on her own. Imogen seem to be the one who understood her mum and felt all she was going through. No one else can see she is having a break down. It will be interesting to see how Piper handles it tbh.

On a side note as much as Paige and JD are annoying. I think her and him have more chemistry than her and Pc no mark ever did.

I'm hoping Mark will charge her with perverting the course of justice. Then Toady can do an impassioned plea and get her a suspended sentence.

I'd quite like Mark to charge himself, too. But that is probably hoping for too much.
