Today, both Home and Away and Neighbours return to out screens.

Do not watch H&A, but a long-time viewer of Neighbours, I love the way the story lines have just totally ignored the Pandemic. But do notice how the actors keep distance from each other, and there is none of the past hugging and kissing.

Oh goody, I've watched H&A since it started I think and miss it when there's a break.

I know it's not a soap but I loved the 'Dr Blake Mysteries'. The actor playing Dr Blake was excluded from it due to being charged with sexual assault but recently was found not guilty. I hope they have him back in a new series.

At last something that isnt a repeat! the amount of repeats over the holiday period was ridiculous!!

On the subject of Australian TV, the next Married at First Sight begins tonight on E4 at 7.30. I know there were a few fans of the last series on GN, myself included.

Apart from EastEnders, Neighbours and Home and Away are the only soaps we watch, so am so glad they`re back.

Only soap I watch is Neighbours, glad it’s back , will the ghastly Nicolette be in it for 9 months !

Probably Annie, but then she`ll more than likely change to a nicer person, they nearly always do!

I would rather they all discovered her true character and she had to go. And she could take bossy Dipi with her.

But I'm so glad Neighbours is back.

On the point of Dipi = I really do wonder at the manipulation that has managed to mean that a woman who has an affair with another man, (also breaking up his marriage), and actually asking that man to take her away with him, has somehow turned that to mean it is HER husband who is at fault!!!! AND, gets people feeling sorry for HER.

I don`t watch any soaps at all,but it sounds like i`m missing out on some entertainment.
Watching BJ is a soap in itself .

Craig McLachlan who plays Dr Blake started out in Neighbours though for the life of me I cant see any resemblance to the cheeky young man he was back then.Not only is he a decent actor but his features look different .

Anyone heard if Five Bedrooms is coming back? I really enjoyed that.

Anniebach Tue 05-Jan-21 11:43:19

In fairness to Dipi, she is married to Shane and Nicolette has
been trying to break up the Grayson marriage.

Why do I watch it ? The women are rather unpleasant

nadateturbe Tue 05-Jan-21 14:38:04

I just don't like Dipi. Never have. She's bossy with Shane and doesn't have much personality. I don't think she adds anything to Neifhbours.

nadateturbe Tue 05-Jan-21 14:38:23

Neighbours!

Hellogirl1 Tue 05-Jan-21 21:46:43

AND she needs some new dresses, she`s bursting out of them lately!

lemsip Tue 05-Jan-21 22:20:11

I'm glad neighbours is back on, be glad when audreys past is revealed!

I think so too Hellogirl. Just wasn't brave enough to say it.
