I liked the photo album, and Harold passing it on to Toadie. Does that mean that Toadie is trapped on Ramsay Street forever ??

I was very concerned that Harold would leave without saying goodbye to Lou, so it was awesome to see him there at the end Even if Susan is Harold's favourite

I don't like Miranda, but that was ridiculous. What was she supposed to do? I don't like babies either, but even I wouldn't leave a baby on it's own. The cops should arrest the mother, not Miranda.

Quite!! - Seriously,that felt so,so lazy and actually a bit insulting to watch to be honest. Oh,and I need to get this off my chest,I actually hate Zeke. I truly wish the character some serious harm. I'm just gutted he wasn't actually dead.

That spoilt what's been feeling like quite an impressive run for Neighbours at the moment!

Considering what's happened to Ringo and Donna, I kind of preferred it when Zeke was dead as well. He hasn't had a decent story since Taylah left.

[~Lynd~]

I like Zeke but they've made his memory return to fast,and i like Ringo and Donna so they need to find somebody else for Zeke.Having said that,Ringo is being a jerk atm.

I agree with Jem about the baby.I don't like Miranda but what the hell was she supposed to do?!

I love how she goes around demanding a divorce when she's the dodgy one,not Steve.

Hm. I think I might start commenting on Neighbours for a while.

I'll get the 'negative' out the way first..I actually,truly hate Zeke. I sincerely mean that and I can't ever remember in the 22 years is it? that Neighbours has been on air,that I have ever felt that way about a character before. It obviously means Matthew is playing his role so well,it's having the right effect. But,I still feel like that nonetheless.

Here's hoping this boxing match,puts and end to it,though I very much doubt it.

Moving On!

This 'triangle' with Cass/Paul/Rebecca and Andrew. Is,I have to say,being played brilliantly by all four,with Elle kind of in the middle. Apart from Paul,who when the door was shut on him,looked really old and a bit ill,I feel deeply sorry for him. But,most of all,for Cass. She's deluding herself,and her kids,desperately in the hope of a new start with a new man.

I get the impression,she's tried and failed numerous times to get the life she's always wanted. I'll be interested to see,how Paul,treats her now. I have a inkling,he won't end his relationship with her,just allow it to continue,blinded by the fact that Rebecca has Andrew now - who by the way - ,and longing to have someone in his life,will stay with Cass.

It all feels really sad,and headed towards some emotional scarring for them both. I just cross my fingers and toes,that Rebecca and Andrew will remain,however my sinking feeling tells me they won't.

Lastly,Rachel and Ty. I don't know what to say,I've seen the preview on YouTube,and it was just really cruel. I'm sad they're not together,but,with

him soon leaving,maybe they will be!

I hope so anyway.

I also felt sorry for Steve too.

And,I'm done and I feel better for that!

I don't feel as if Cass would give a monkeys if her and Paul ended , its as if shes using him for some reason - she knows he doesn't really want her, and is just settling for her because he cant have Rebbecca. Maybe I'm wrong. I do enjoy watching how bad Cass is as a mother, it isn't usual for a Neighbours mum to be so rubbish when it comes to advice and being there for her kids..etc

I feel sorry for Paul - its like he's doomed. I wish Helen were still around, then we could still get those really nice Gran/Grandson moments we used to always get when Paul was depressed or making a mistake. I suppose everything Elle is doing now, she would do!

Zeke, he has definitely become someone that is annoying - its interesting how the story-lines going. I do agree that I think his memory has returned too fast, or it hasn't been explained properly or something..

[~Lynd~]

I'm becoming sick of Rebecca playing the victim.She either wants Paul or she doesn't,stop playing with him.What he did to her is starting to look like child play in comparison,imo.

[JackWilkins]

Where to start? Well,Declan made me cry! - I wasn't expecting that and I guess that's why it worked so well!

I'll miss Rachel,a bit too. But,this does feel right for her and I can only think and hope to be fair,that what I said yesterday will happen for her and Ty. They belong together. They just do.

Which,isn't the case for Miranda and Steve. I'm not as sad about that as I thought I might be,and it was actually refreshing to see Bridget respond the way she did too. I do feel for Steve,well I did yesterday,and I have feeling despite what the promo was implying,I will even more soon too!

I have a sinking feeling,Rebecca doesn't feel as she should for Andrew either - the fool!! I'll have him!

I really think Neighbours is doing great guns at the minute,though it does feel sad that with so many impending departures, that it's taken them to show such great performances from those going.

[JackWilkins]

Yet another great episode! - Loved the contrast of the kids 'fight' with Ringo and Zekes too! Though,it would make a refreshing change if Ben was actually allowed to be himself and not be 'bloked up' - I like his friendship with Callum don't get me wrong,I buy that far more than I ever did with Mickey - I still can't believe the actors who play Mickey and Ben are real life brothers!

Feeling really sorry still for Steve,and the rest of the Parkers too,if I'm honest. I'll say it again,with impending departures it's such a shame it's taken them to realise these performances. For me,anyway!

Promo looks good and who knew Jim Carrey had come to Erinsborough!
