It's great to have Steph back, but yes something doesn't feel right about her. It doesn't surprise me that she's changed since she's been in jail. There's a lot of unanswered questions that viewers will want to find the answers to. For starters, why was her initial parole application denied and what was going on with the custody dispute for Charlie between her and Max.

As I said earlier, I'm perplexed as to why so many viewers outside this forum and the NeighboursFans forum hate the Turner family so much. They're much better than the Parker family or the Kapoor family for example. What's ironic is people who hate them are the same people who loved Neighbours in 2009, when it was arguably the show's worst year in history.

There is a lot to catch up with Steph, like what happened to her in jail, how it's changed her and I wonder at the real affect it's had on her giving up both her children - she seems to be pretending that she's fine with it but I'm not buying it.

Looking forward to her first face-to-face with Paul and Toadie after so long away.

I don't mind the Kapoor's, but I'd definitely take the Turners over them and the Parkers. The Turners haven't been here long, yet they feel like they've slotted in just nicely and I'm liking the budding friendship between Chris and Amber; with all his old friends leaving him behind, he needs some new ones.

Not sure what to make of Rhiannon just yet and wonder how long she's sticking around for. At least she has shown a different side to Mason.

EDIT:

As part of the storyline, Neighbours has produced six webisodes, which will show Steph in prison and her reasons for returning to Erinsborough. The webisodes were directed by Neighbours actor Scott Major, who plays Lucas. The first of the six webisodes sees Steph talking to her prison counsellor, discussing her options now that she's being released on parole, and it can be viewed on Youtube. (from perfectblend.net)

Here's a video of Steph in prison....

The Steph in prison webisodes will be released weekly so make sure you keep checking back to the Neighbours YouTube Channel.

It's interesting that Scott Major who plays Lucas directs these webisodes.

There's a picture of Scott directing these webisodes on his Twitter page.

b2sb09 I am happy to hear many fans like the Turners as I hope they become another Kennedy like family!!!

I do feel sorry for Steph and like the way the show did these webisodes they should do more.

Its interesting she lost both of her boys including her and Dans son? Which brings me to ask why Dan allowed that and makes me think He and Sam (she might have something to do with steph troubles?) are back together?

Of course thats going to make her upset?

I agree with you in regards to the Turner family.

In regards to Adam, Steph gave him away to Dan at her own accord. Now you could easily argue she wasn't in the right state of mind, but nevertheless she did give him away. I highly doubt Sam and Dan are together despite you wanting them to be together.

In regards to Charlie, Steph lost custody of him from Max, but we're unaware of the events that took place when she lost custody of him as all of this took place off-screen. At least Charlie is with his father, but he is now living in Fiji with Max and presumably with Rosie Hoyland (Max's mother) as well.

IF they write the Turner family well They could become the NEW Kennedy's of Ramsey Street!

I do think by giving Adam to Dan she might think now what a mistake that was considering she now lost her other son and will never see him again? That proabbly will explain why she will be bitter when she comes.

ITs highly unlikely we will ever see Dan or Sam back on neighbours as I been told yet I would like to hear what happen to them. Thats such an unanswered question as we know Dan in Sydney with Adam and I wouldnt be surprised if Sam not there as well given her connections and given what happen with the trial we do not know how he feels about what happen to Steph even though we can bet Lucas told him what happen? So maybe Sam got even with Steph yet if Dan mad at her for that did she really win?

I like The Turner family so far. I think it will just take time for people to get to know them. I do think they should give us more scenes shared between Lauren/Matt and the kids individually though. I'm not sure what sort of chemistry they have with them as individuals if you know what I mean? Like for example Jim and Helen always bounced off the kids according to their personalities.

Good to see Steph back. I hated her exit storyline, but I'm enjoying this. Lot's of mystery.

[samdanfan]

Hi Alexx, I agree with you there too. Im a big fan of Blue Heelers the popular Aussie Cop show and think adding a family like the Turners was a great idea with the father a senior Cop which worked very well for John Wood on BH!

That shows actors have been very lucky at work after it ended back in 2006.

Yes from what I hear Steph return has excited many I know.

Any sympathy that I might have been able to regain for Steph (and I didn't have a lot back in 2010) was lost after that confrontation with Toadie. Hoping to Celestia she won't be back long.
