They could write her out any time they like. The sooner the better imo. As someone said on the main thread, she is so bad she is making Paige look good

Daniel had a 3 year contract and they wrote him out early. It wasnt even the actors choice, so here is hoping that the Horse can trot off the show!

Its just the writing thats bad not the character, i mean she has just had a miscarriage and yesterday wasn't bothered, Imagine if it was Dorithy Burke in charge, she'd soon slap her into line.

Poorly drawn character and inconsistent script, not helped by the iffy acting range. The only good thing about the acting is that it makes the actress playing Madison look like Judy Dench.

Finally a thread to bring me out of lurker status.
How embarrassing watching her try to flirt, so cringeworthy! I was so looking forward to Ned coming back as well but hooking up with Elly is going to ruin him. |

I'd rather they got rid of Madison. Absolutely painful to watch.

Its early days for a FFS strand the poor lass has only just arrived! But I agree she's yet to endear and I prefer Madison at this point.

I like Elly at the moment, only because Paige annoys me more.
I can see me joining this thread if she starts annoy me though.

I don't like Madison because that girl's acting skills are beyond useless. Her character could have been good and an extended holiday and a new head wouldn't hurt. As Scott and Charlene's daughter a proper actress should have been cast who would stay for a few years. I can see this girl using this as an opportunity to move on to singing or something else. Not acting obviously.
I don't like Elly because she's a horrible character played by a horrible actress who can't enunciate her lines. It's a shame as I do remember original Elly and we could have had someone join who was more like Libby - teacher, related to Susan, good relationship with her Aunt, a female friend for Paige etc. but instead we have this vile woman who doesn't take her job seriously, is horrible to one of her students and loves herself beyond belief. Elly is beyond fixing and she's not been there long either. Madison makes me cringe as she's so wooden but Elly makes me want to throw my slippers at the telly

Great thread! Not sure why we're supposed to like her. All the interviews Jodi's done have claimed she's 'a lovely girl who's just misunderstood' but so far there's been absolutely no evidence of this. Other than being the niece of arguably the most popular character on the show (i love Susan but all her relatives bar her children have been unpleasant) she's just come across as a two faced, robotic piece of work who enjoys bullying school girls and stealing other girls boyfriends. Just horrid so far.
Not surprised the snake bit her, probably thought she was competition as the most poisonous reptile around!

And you know this for a fact do you? Or is it just that you dislike her so you're basing your opinion as fact?! I suspect the later!

You only have to read the Neighbours Thread - I don't think I've seen a positive posting about her. So it's not just my opinion, but the opinion of a lot of other people too!
The fact that Elly is so unpopular on the main thread and now on this one shows how much damage has been done to the character already, in a very short space of time. I dislike her now so much that I don't think I will ever like her now, no matter how much they try to tone her down later on. the damage is done. She has been portrayed as self-obssessed, vain, a man-eater, a bully (by goading a school girl that she is supposed to be in charge of as a teacher) and she shows no interest in her work. Really, what is there to like??? |

Normally I don't like to judge characters too quickly... I did it with John Doe/Father Jack and then changed my mind. However, I will join the hate as Elly genuinely does make me angry!
The character is so unlikeable - I assumed the whole snake/dead baby story was to make us feel sorry for her and see her soft side, but yesterday she was more vile than ever. She's not even a good bitch as she's not interesting enough and her acting is too poor. Signing her up for 3 years, what on earth were they thinking!?

I was disillusioned with Neighbours but I really wanted to like Elly, even though I hated Martha in Home And Away. However, it became clear very early on that I wasn't going to.
I don't think Neighbours has ever been this bad, to be honest. The new actors they bring in are almost universally shite! Only Amy and Ned have any talent amongst the newer crop. The writing, most of the acting and storylines are shockingly bad and there is no sense of direction. |

Xanthe isnt too bad with regards to acting, she started poorly but quite good now and Piper is excellent. But yes in general the casting has been the worst it has been for some years. Elly isn't the worst actress but she isnt good at all. It is just terrible actress meets terrible character. She is becoming Parker family bad. Don't think i have ever disliked a character this quickly in the last 10 years. |

I know she hasn't been there long, but I have to agree she's a very unlikeable character and the acting is on a par with the unforgettable "oh no, poor Libby".
I was too kind hearted to join previous FFS threads, but this one gets my full support, |
