Bobby Forever Missed

You’re looking at it with 2024 eyes, imo you need to view the early years with the mindset of “oh well it was insert year here” otherwise you’ll end up hating anything that isn’t the modern product with regards to Frank’s values he was born on the early side of Gen X (late 60s) so he would still have had the values of parental figures like Tom who believed it was the man who went out to work, I do take his point about someone looking after the kids but that is what babysitters and later childcare are for. a lot of it as well came down to his biological parents neglecting him as Pippa said to Bobby

i said that at the time i saw it but even in 1988 they had to have a character getting shot lol my thing was Tom knew he was dangerous yet didn't try hard enough to stop Steve going over there that night

Nicolle asked to be killed off are you suggesting the producers should’ve ignored her feelings and not respected her choice? That’s not okay

Narelle had that happen at Alf’s original store, i don’t remember that happening to Maz though?

4 years shock horror it’s the end of the world Steven and Narelle never did anything except kiss yet Brett got Roo pregnant at 17 which you’re seemingly excusing?

Wow I actually never knew that about Julian, you learn something new everyday

Julian was Prime Minister's son??

They already did hiding the pregnancy with Morag though, so either way it’s the same result Bobby is in the Stewart bloodline

too young it was said in Martha's diaries Celia was newly engaged around the time Bobby was conceived and knowing Celia there's absolutely no sex before marriage

Mr McTavish i think his name was

Comments like “not sure he should’ve been sent there” are insanely ignorant and offensive I’m sorry but Bill was entitled to an education like any other student, the problem was that Luke was so insistent that he do everything for Bill that neither Fisher nor Roxy as the other teachers in the school were able to properly get to understand Bill’s needs, I have CP and my mother sure didn’t go to the schools and do everything for me and so every teacher and aide I had was able to get a handle on my needs (though admittedly I wasn’t in the same boat as Bill I was just using my situation as an example)

I first saw Nico when i was 16 in 08 and even 2008 me would agree with you but i especially agree with you now in 2023 when we're trying to be more inclusive as a society i have on occasion found myself wondering if Nico's stereotypical treatment by other characters had gotten complaints even in 88?

yeah gotta agree there Nico’s story has aged horribly but you have to look at it as if you’re watching in 1988, sadly I think Nico was the only character with ASD on the show until Mikey Dunne in 2002?

I mean every place has crime even a sleepy town like Summer Bay c 1992 I mean yeah not as much like i don’t remember Nick arresting people every episode but they definitely had to have a police character to make it more realistic imo but the current format is way too far the other way

I don’t understand what’s wrong with fostering, there are kids who go through foster care every day and yes I bet some were/are in gangs so they can still have their precious hot guy gangs and still keep the foster care element too it’s all about pandering to the social media crowd who like xyz character based on looks now sadly, H&A have over the last 12 years written themselves into a corner and i don’t know if they can get out at this point

I agree with all of this but just to add even as early as 1990 the producers definitely had their favourites Emma and Viv spring to mind from early 1990

Adam returned it after he found it on the side of the road after Pippa and Michael couldn’t sell it to a children’s home it was traded a goat yes as for how it got back I dunno continuity fail?

I see (and always have seen) the Stewart siblings ages as Alf Morag Barbara Debra Celia in that order Alf acts like the oldest child Celia acts the youngest Morag and Barbara always struck me as middle children

I’d tell Steve Irwin I mean Greg to rack off too (he looks like Steve Irwin)

Oops yes yes I do haha still I don’t think it is that because they weren’t on mushroom unless they did a modified version to avoid rights issues?

it sounds VERY similar to Cover Your Bliss by the B52s from 1989 i don't think it is though because they were never on Mushroom who had the music contract with H&A and Neighbours at the time

disturbing after what we found out in 1989 haha

Yeah that figures, not seeing Nico again was actually somewhat realistic because Lynn had left and he wasn’t particularly close to the other characters also we’ve never had a same sex relationship on the show Joey and Charlie Buckton kissed in 2009 and there was a huge backlash, Joey was quickly cancelled because of it absolutely ridiculous @nenehcherry2

We never see Danny again either despite the fact he’s A Pippa’s brother and B Tom’s best friend, why didn’t he show up for Tom’s funeral?

The lack of people with mental or physical handicaps, though this could be applied to the 2023 show as well
