I was encouraged by the absence of Angus. Long may this continue.

Seems to be a very realistic storyline given all the social media bullying and the self image of teens right now




Can't help but find Ned really quite creepy. He might be good looking but his behaviour towards Lauren is really weird - especially given that he's using the hostility he feels towards his dad (understandable) to crack onto her!

Piper "mum are you ok, I am worried about you"

2 mins later slagging her off to Ned. Saying how they have both been selfish. Piper is so Selfish and a little brat.

Ned "do you want them back together"
What Piper really meant "no i am not a baby like Paige and can accept they are over"

Lauren " I have doubts" Well you did cheat with a married man and are still living with him.

Ned "Brad and Terese were hugging" Tbf Ned nothing wrong with a man hugging his wife.

Don't find him creepy but he is the 4th bloke to drop his daks on Neighbours - it's not very subtle!

And why on earth is Piper meddling in the explosion investigation? Who does she think she is? Unlike we viewers, she didn't see Brodie sneaking into the boiler room after Tyler, so why has she suddenly decided it woz 'im wot dunnit? She has about as much evidence as she did when she accused Ned! And where has Brodie been lurking all this time? SO he didn't like it when she split with him so he decided to blow up the hotel? She must think quite highly of herself!

Yes, we know Mark isn't making much headway but it's just not realistic that a kid would solve the case!

Does anyone else think that Ned is playing with Lauren to get at Brad? I'm not sure he'll have feelings for her but instead will mess with the pair of them. I'm hoping Brad tries to go back to Terese and is sent packing and Lauren is left alone. It would serve them both right - Brad for being a cheat and Lauren for mooning after Brad even when her husband was alive.

She's not a kid - she's a super sleuth, deep, sensible, intelligent vlogger . Never mind that she almost ruined Lucas' business and got the whole Tim/Courtney thing completely wrong as well as pushing Doug way too far until he lashed out.

Ned's "hurt son" act is starting to wear a little thin, especially as it looks like he's just using it as an excuse to leer and lust over Lauren. Doesn't he have a job to go to?

Even people on Neighbours who do have jobs seem to spend very little time actually doing them!

Love your sense of irony, Mrs D!

I think he just does not trust Brad, so all that Brad does that seems suspicious he will question it.

Too True!

Oooh! New titles with sexy John Doe!

I don't know about anyone else, but the 'I hear that...' marriage counselling crap that Toadie and Sonya do really makes my toes curl!
Just have a goddamn argument!

I was going for sarcasm but irony will do

So what? Piper can be selfish but a bit of teenage acting out behaviour pales in comparison to the selfishness of what Terese and Brad are doing to Paul.

Exactly what I was thinking! I hate that touchy feely stuff too, don't have the patience for it. It's normal for people to have rows nothing wrong with it.

The hurt son routine is wearing a little thin for me too, Ned seems so oversensitve to any slight whether it's meant or not. His sisters, Lauren and Brad are doing all they can to make him feel welcome but he still sulks at the merest thing. i'm starting to wonder if he needs some professional help.

I'm sure you made a very thorough .... survelliance......mrs deschanel. Nice work if you can get it.

I think it's meant to be a different floor for each medical situation but the layout is the same. I could be wrong though but it wouldn't hurt to shift a few things around to get the impression of each hospital floor not being the same one. Karl 'hypnotising' John was just silly- is there anything Karl isn't qualified to do???

Only Piper, Imogen's gone and Paige barely acknowledges him

That whole overly PC scene was cringeworthy. Just let rip Rebecchi's - turn the air blue and smash some crockery (extra points if it's something Sonya made) until someone calls the riot squad in. Obviously Mark would lead the advance.

no doubt arresting Toadie for Murder even though Sonia is alive and well

I think Ned either fancies Lauren or wants to get revenge on his dad by destroying their relationship. I think it could be the second one because he had a very mischievous look in his eyes when Lauren was looking at him while he was naked. The soap's producers now have me wondering if Steph has anything to do with Paul being set up. It'll be interesting to see what Walter is keeping from Sonya. Terese continues to want to see Paul go to prison without even waiting for the truth to reveal itself. I dunno...there's something very fishy about Terese's impatience with Paul still being a free man.

Blimey, did my ears deceive me or did I hear a swear when Walter was talking to Terese about Sonia outside Lassiters? I rewound it three times and it certainly sounded like what I thought it was!

Terese is in a bad head space atm. Piper is clearly ok. If it is too much for Piper to support her fine. She should not moan when Brad is doing it. At least Imogen seemed to care about her mum. Piper is just worried about herself and pretending to be some cop.

Have just watched today's epi on catch-up. Piper really is immature! So Brodie blew up a hotel to get back at her, and she is now taking on the mantle of solving the mystery! What rot! She really thinks a lot of herself, that young lady!

This whole explosion thing just gets dafter and dafter!
