Neighbours

Just so he can keep you updated Julie ?!

I blame my DS watching so much Neighbours in the 80s and 90s for his emigration to Australia!!

Franbern the Aussie soaps are renowned for that! Every week someone ends up in hospital, often with life changing injuries or illnesses. They lose limbs and organs, they have brain or spinal surgery, they cannot walk. But very soon are back to normal and it's pretty much forgotten. I also love the way they get a hospital appointment the same day, they never have to wait. Doctor Karl seems to deal with everything from pre-natal, through cancer to brain injury. It's a magical world where real life doesn't intrude! ?

Yes, I will probably continue watching it whilst they keep Paul in it. Such a very loveable rogue.

Not sure about story lines being worse now than the past. One I remember from very early days was the diver who had such aserious accident, that the hospital said that if they managed to save his life he would probably never walk again. Within less than a month he was walking, running and going on a camping holiday with his family.

Agreed, it is rubbish with some ridiculous storylines but I always love Paul. He behaves dreadfully but always with good intentions, it always ends badly for him, but somehow he rises up again like a phoenix from the ashes.

I’ve watched Neighbours since it began, I still enjoy it, although it was better in the past, these days it’s enjoyable rubbish. Passes the time.

Not in my world nadateturbe

Amy's daft storyline anmoys me. Do people really behave like this??

My mother used to watch it in the 80s . Whatever would she think of it now? I don’t think they even drank alcohol back them , let alone have LGBTQ characters.

I watch Neighbours and Home and Away because they are such an easy watch when you want something light. British soaps are far too grim. I thought Nicolette swapping the two babies was a great storyline because you knew the real baby would turn up one day. I guess they couldn't wait to do this, it was only a couple of weeks. They certainly have 'modern' storylines. A gay couple, a lesbian couple, two of them brother and sister, and then Nicolette offering to surrogate a baby for the boys. Now the appearance of a second baby who belongs to one of the gay brothers. You couldn't make it up. Oh, they just did ??

I like watching Neighbours. at least there are no disasters and deaths every few months as in corrie and emmerdale which I no longer watch.
Can't stand 'amy' her teeth dazzle me.. the storyline of two boyfriends is daft isn't it.

It’s absolute rubbish but I always watch it. Nicolette is so inconsistent- carts the baby around constantly then puts her in the crib and leaves her to scream. Poor Isla. I know- it’s only a story!

I watch it because unlike other soaps it is generally light-hearted. It was only recently that I realised Harlow is Jason Donovan’s daughter.

I must catchup. Was out shopping today.
I can't stand the mother Nicolette. I wish they would write her out! Ditto Amy. The polyamorous relationship storyline is so silly. I'd never heard of this until Neighbours.
But I still love watching.

I love both Neighbours and Home and Away, they`re the only soaps I watch apart from Eastenders. Haven`t seen today`s yet though, as I had visitors.

I always watch yesterday’s episode on my iPad while I eat my breakfast. Like you *Franburn I didn’t watch for many years but came back to it a while ago the story lines ridiculous but I enjoy it.

Isla does have three parents, threesomes seem popular in Neighbours !
