Oh, sure -- I get that some people are like that, and in fact, I'd expect Imogen to freak out like that. But Amber has never been like that, so it seemed strange.

The only time I can remember Kyle's mum being mentioned was when Kyle went to look after her because she was sick (but actually, in real life, Chris Milligan had broken his leg or something so he had to have time off), and they had storylines planned for Kyle so they just brought in his cousin Dane to play out those stories, and then Kyle came back with his leg in plaster and said that he tripped over his mum's dog in Frankston. I think I always assumed that Sheila was his mum's mum, not his dad's mum, because it seems unusual to be so close with your dad's mum but not know your dad. Maybe Sheila did raise Kyle, but Sheila only arrived from Frankston a few years ago and Kyle has been on the show since he was in school, so I don't know who was looking after him then.

Why was Gary the only person listed under 'G' on Sheila's phone? What about Georgia? Haha. EDIT: Actually, just rewatched it, and it was sorted by surname, and there were others in the list besides Gary. So never mind. :P Amber was going way over the top with her massive freak out. How can you suddenly realise you don't know anything just hours before the exam when you've been doing the subject for the whole year? If she was that worried about the exam then she should have been studying for it the last few months rather than being silly with Daniel. Not a fan of Amber... :P

I always forget that the UK has Halloween too. I think of it as a US thing. Definitely not an Australian thing -- I don't know anyone who celebrates it, and I don't know why they felt the need to have an episode about it. Lol at the lamp storyline and Bossy giving Sheila those looks. :P Poor Josh! He doesn't belong in gaol. He's not a thug. I guess he deserves some sort of punishment, like a fine or community service or something, but he's hardly a dangerous criminal who needs to be locked up. And I think it's kind of out of character for Chris not to have forgiven Josh even a little bit (although maybe that can be explained by his head injury and stress, etc). As if you'd put up with everything Paul does but want Josh in gaol!

Here are the final three parts. The ending of Part 3 made me laugh so much, haha. Part 3: Part 4: Part 5:

I'm not into zombies either, but it's actually not very zombie-ish, because so far the zombies don't even realise that they're zombies, so they're just acting like normal people. So it's more just like a reunion with dead Neighbours characters. Although if you weren't watching back when these characters were on the show, then I guess it might not interest you. Part 2 is out now:

Are you guys planning to watch the Neighbours vs Zombies YouTube videos? They're being released every day this week. Here is the trailer: And here is Part 1:

Pretty sure he kissed the card!

Yeah, that nudist thing was silly, and Karl finding the scratchie on Toadie's bum, haha. That was the 7000th episode of Neighbours!

I was originally thinking that Lauren just accidentally slipped up when she mentioned Brad's cooking, because I've always thought she still liked him a bit but just liked Matt more. I guess I was wrong though; I doubt she would have lied in her journal. Also, I don't get why she was so angry at Matt for reading her journal. I get that journals are private, but when she started writing in it she told him she was only writing in it because she couldn't talk to him about the things she was writing because he didn't want her to. So shouldn't that mean that there's nothing in there that she wouldn't be willing to say to his face anyway? That fight scene between Brad and Terese in tonight's episode was kind of weird. It seemed like Brad was talking disproportionately louder than Terese so he just sounded silly and over the top. Couldn't they have given Paige a better injury than a burnt hand? As if she needs to rest for days and days just because of that. Also, lol at her awkward conversation with Brennan. Yeah, Kyle and Georgia: biggest noobs.

Yep, looks like Susan and Karl are going to stick around. And yes, Mal has always been played by Benji McNair (whenever he has been on the show in the past 20 years). I assume they just play with Nell a lot and film it all and then work her storylines around funny things she does. But I guess she's at an age now where she can understand some things, so maybe they can also tell her to do stuff and then she does it. Yeah, poor Josh. That was so nice of Daniel to buy all of Josh's trophies and then give them back to him.

That '20 Years of the Kennedys' episode was so good! <3

I don't think Amber and Daniel were necessarily trying to show that they could be independent, because they said they wanted Matt, Lauren, and Paul's support but would do things their own way if they couldn't get it. So if Lauren is willing to let Amber use the house, but won't let her and Daniel live together, then living in the car but coming back home doesn't seem to be going against what they said they were going to do. But anyway, if they can't even afford to live together in a unit then maybe it's not the smartest move to be getting married just yet, lol. And they should definitely wait until Amber has finished school before moving out. How old was Alice's grandma?! She didn't look much older than Lauren! I thought she was supposed to be Alice's mum at first, haha. Lol at the scene with her and Lou. :P

I don't think Chris would mind; I doubt he would want Josh to go to gaol. Obviously you're not supposed to represent your friends, but it's Erinsborough, and everybody is friends with everybody. :P

It wasn't just the punch, Kim; didn't Chris hit his head when he fell? And anyway, haven't people died in real life from being punched in the head? I'm really liking Josh and his storylines at the moment. Some people hate Josh but I reckon he has had the best and most interesting storylines and character development over the past year. Before he went out with Amber he was arrogant and annoying, but he got much nicer when he was with Amber, and then there was the whole Hudson/drugs thing, and then getting into the Commonwealth games and dealing with all the fame and attention, and then the shoulder injury that meant he couldn't swim anymore, and then he got into drugs a bit, and somewhere along the way he forgave Mason for convincing him to go abseiling, then there was going back to school and having to repeat Year 11, then ending up in hospital and finding out he was allergic to alcohol, then realising Daniel was interested in Amber and making a huge effort to be a good boyfriend, then being fined by the police for skateboarding illegally, then finding out that Amber was cheating on him, then finding out Paige was his sister, then getting the job at the gym that he wasn't qualified for, and getting together with Naomi, then finding out that Brad kissed Lauren, then breaking up with Naomi and finding out about Daniel and Amber getting engaged, and now the whole Chris situation. He's handling it all much better than he would've when he first moved into Ramsay Street.

By the way they were going on about it, sounds like there's a lot more than that in there now, haha, but I think there used to only be the cheerleading stuff. That bit with Josh in the spa was kind of dumb – as if you could expect to go in someone else's spa naked and not get caught. Although Naomi didn't think as quickly as she normally does, e.g. she could have yelled "What is THAT?!" and pointed in the other direction and given Josh a chance to breathe while Sheila looked the other way, and then she could've run inside and Sheila would've followed her. But obviously it was just a plot thing and they wanted Sheila to find out.

They've shown what's in the blue box before, haven't they? I thought it was a cheerleading outfit and pom-poms.

I think it's a little hard for them to avoid meeting up, and it's kind of unfair on Paige if they can't meet up, considering she's never been able to spend any time with her parents before. But the way they regularly discuss how things are going at home and with their respective spouses is a bit unnecessary, I agree. So the Blue Box has made a comeback! ;)

Eww, I hope not – I hate her! I want Paul and Terese to cheat on Brad so he can run off with Lauren. :P

Oh, yeah I realised it was Paul getting his mojo back, I just found it weird. :P I thought the kids all handled it pretty well. All of them seemed to immediately forgive Brad and Lauren. I LOLed when Imogen was like, "Daniel was so scared of the wombat; you should've seen him, he's such an idiot." Looks like they might even be going down the route I mentioned a few weeks ago, where Daniel and Imogen eventually cheat on Amber.

I don't think they were planning to tell the kids, it's just that Imogen happened to overhear Brad and Terese arguing about it, and obviously she was going to tell Josh, and so it would've been silly for Matt and Lauren to try to prevent Bailey and Amber from finding out. I bet Paige will go back to her old manipulative self trying to get Brad and Lauren back together. Not that I'm complaining – that would probably be good to watch. The baby wombat was so cute! What was with that scene when that random dude dropped some rubbish and Paul told him to pick it up because he's the mayor, and then after the guy put it in the bin the camera zoomed in on Paul as he made that weird face? Haha.

I don't think Imogen likes Brennan anymore (not since he said he wasn't interested and she was all humiliated and stuff), but I also don't think she really likes Daniel either, she's probably just jealous because when Daniel first arrived it seemed like he was into Imogen, and then when he met Amber he immediately forgot all about her. And I don't think Imogen cared too much at the time because she was into Brennan back then, but now with everything else that's happened (Amber cheating on Josh, Amber "stealing" the school captaincy from Imogen, Paige-related issues, etc), it's like she just can't help being jealous of and angry at Amber so she's finding any reason to be like that. I'd like to see Daniel cheating on Amber with Imogen though, but I don't see it happening.

They probably hired Josh because it's a cheaper to hire him than someone older and more qualified, and they're going to train him up anyway (and also, as they said, they think that because he was semi-famous he might attract more customers). I guess he does have lots of experience in the gym as well, so he'd know how to use all the machines and stuff (although obviously managing the gym involves a lot more than that). Maybe they also thought that he'd be a good manager because Terese manages Lassiter's? I dunno. Nate is Alex Kinski's nephew. (Not sure if you need more backstory than that; Alex was Susan's husband but he died not long after he and Susan got married. Alex was also Zeke and Rachel's dad.)

LOL at Sheila and Paul. I reckon it'd be hilarious if they had a secret romance. It'd be much more interesting than some of the other storylines.

Probably not much chance with the current government, Kim, but I guess you never know. I feel like they bring up that issue a little more often than is necessary on the show though, so it's pretty obvious that the writers/producers have strong opinions about it. I really like how Chris has that "you don't have to be in a relationship to be happy" attitude though – the amount of emphasis the show puts on relationships is quite over the top at times. Thought it was completely weird when Lucy suggested having a baby with Chris after spending just a day with him. I mean, I know she wasn't asking him to spend the rest of his life with her, but when you share a child with someone, that's a pretty big bond, so it's a big decision to make all of a sudden like that. The Naomi/Josh storyline that they've been promoting recently also looks like it's going to be really weird. I bet they'll end up together though, mainly because Josh is still so upset about Amber and Paige. EDIT: Well, I guess I was right about Josh, although I was expecting that Naomi would have to convince him that it was a good idea, not the other way round.
