Can anyone help with an old Neighbours storyline from the early 90s?
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone with a better memory of early Neighbours than me can help me out. There's a storyline I vaguely remember but can't quite remember the details. I'd love to see if it's on youtube. I believe it was early 1990s, and two of the young/teenage characters - I want to say Todd and maybe Phoebe? but I may be wrong - believed for some reason that an older male character (don't remember who) had murdered someone, his girlfriend maybe. I remember one Friday night episode ended with them seeing him dragging a big binbag outside and they looked in it and the first thing they saw was a wig. Think the episode ended with them just opening this body-shaped bag and seeing what looked like human hair. It was really creepy, I was pretty young at the time and it gave me nightmares! Of course it turned out it was just a bag full of old props or something and he hadn't actually murdered anyone. Just curious to watch it again really and have a bit of a laugh at how something that was probably really silly managed to freak me out so much as a little kid. If anyone remembers the storyline or the characters involved or could tell me which year it was from, it'd be much appreciated. thank you!

I can remember when Mrs Mangle buried Len's stuff in her garden and his false teeth fell out.

Wasn't it to do with the murderof Jane? Didn't she have cancer or something so wore a wig for a while?? I might be completely off the mark but I definitely remember someone having cancer around that time.

Was years ago but wasn't it when Len Mangel went missing and the neighbours thought he had been murdered. Mrs Mangel had a bit of a breakdown as he had really gone off with another women but she refused to talk about it. Mrs Mangel was just getting rid of his belongings. This could be it. Not sure though. 🤔🤔🤔

It all sounds familiar, was it something to do with Mrs Burke?

I vaguely remember this, but I think my memory of it is as clear as yours :P. Those referencing Mrs Mangel I think are getting confused with the storyline where a buried gun was found in her garden ( I think by bouncer the dog), which apparently belonged to her son Joe, who had a criminal past. A story which paved the way for him to join the show as a new character.. see scene below.

It was definitely Joe Mangel who found the wig and thought possibly Dorothy had killed someone and buried them in the back garden. I vaguely remember this, but i'll try and find out more.
