The 2008 Neighbours thread!

I think the new title are OK, not least for the beyond-parody bit where Karl, Susan, Rachael and Zeke are rowing in banana canoes. You really couldn't make it up.

Ok that bit is fucking funny.

Could they have telegraphed today's ending any more? Shots of Susan feeling dizzy at the wheel whilst Bridget walks in the area with her mind elsewhere.

A big sign saying 'Look out children crossing'?

 

[i_hate_beckham]

When 'Bridget' was hit the person rolling over and over was so obviously not her, in fact i dont think it was even a woman.

 

[stavros]

Today's episode was truly shite, just focussed on Bridget, a character who I couldn't care less if she dies or not. I'm more concerned about Susan.

I've also formulated the hypothesis that Steve isn't really Ned and Stew's brother because he doesn't have a stupid little beard underneath his bottom lip.

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm more concerned about Susan too. She's looking really old these days!

 

[stavros]

I think they've just fucked around with her make-up a bit since she started going menopausal/mental. "Creative imagery", you know.

 

[Dillinger4]

I am enjoying the teenage angst. Its got so angsty!

 

[Dillinger4]

Susans gonna be a biddy after this storyline is over.

 

[May Kasahara]

Yeah, but she'll then have the Helen Daniels factor.

 

[El Sueno]

Yeah, but she'll then have the Helen Daniels factor.

Helen Daniels: Phwoar.

Rachel and whatsit were a shit teen addition but I'm warming to the new ones.

 

[CalmerChameleon]

I think Bree was the best teenager from recent years. She was like Lisa Simpson + angst.

 

[May Kasahara]

This is so stupid I can't believe no one, absolutely no one, has made even the most tentative connection between Susan saying she blacked out at the wheel and Bridget being mown down by a hit and run driver. Lame-o!

 

[stavros]

Agreed, although Sky was good until she started fucking anything with a pulse.

The all-time classic teenager though is Toadie, complete with his rat's tail.

 

[i_hate_beckham]

In yesterdays episode Mickey nearly drove me to give up the soap, i've never seen him be more annoying. I FUCKING HATE HIM!

 

[zoooo]

Is he the English one?

Or the little kid...

They are both annoying.

Bring back the Irish boy! I loved him.

Little kid.

 

[stavros]

I agree, bring back Connor. Toadie's not nearly as good without a decent foil. Alternatively bring back Lance or Stony on a permanent basis.

 

[zoooo]

Lance!!!!!

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Lance!!!!!

I watched yesterdays today hoping to see Lance but he wasn't there..

 

[zoooo]

Oh sorry.

I wish though.

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Oh sorry.

I wish though.

I have his final apperance from 2005 saved to my sky plus box.

 

[Dillinger4]

That is dedication, IHB

 

[i_hate_beckham]

That is dedication, IHB

It's from the 2007 UKGold repeat so not 3 years of dedication.

 

[Dillinger4]

Just saw the first Channel5 Neighbours trailer.

Starts on the 11th February, apparently!

!

 

[wtfftw]

Oohh! Good info there Dillinger.
I can't think of anything I currently watch on five so there's no way I'd spot that.

 

[Dillinger4]

I watch football italia every Sunday.

Otherwise I would have missed it as well.

Ah. Perfect sense. I'm still trying to think of what else is on channel 5... In other news I'm very excited about the imminent start of the Africa Cup of Nations.
