Let's ALL hate Libby I love the actress (and usually the character) don't get me wrong, but Libby really is a bi-atch when it comes to men. She's been like that since they brought her back. Darren was one of my favourites back in the day and I didn't understand why they bothered to bring him back (not that I'm complaining!) just so Libby could rip him apart on a daily basis and then drive him away - all because he wasn't Drew. Fair! Anyway, that's not what I came in here to grumble about. It was just a nice surprise to see that we're all on the same page

I came here to grumble about the university storyline, just because I can SO relate to it. I graduated already! I don't want to listen to how everything is sexist and men should all kill themselves anymore! Although that WOULD be just like a man, killing himself and expecting a woman to clean up the mess! So... just a head's up... if this storyline continues on in the vein of every advertisement featuring a woman being put under the microscope of the inherently misogynist "male gaze," it's entirely possible that I will be ranting and raving in here about how much I hate university and the feminazis that dwell within. Fairly warned be ye says I.

Am I the only Libby fan left!?

I like Libby I just don't like how she treats the men in her life then acts like she's been the victim.

That pretty much sums her up for me! I don't mind her as an individual character but what annoys me the most in relationships is how she will be AWFUL to the men she's with but because she's an iconic character in Neighbours were meant to be on her side and she'll act the victim and were meant to feel sorry for her. It really annoyed me how she insulted Dan to everyone after he'd gone and went on about how he'd left their family when she was the one who threw him out and told him she didn't love him anymore! What was the poor man meant to do?

[halcyon06]

Dan was getting a tad tedious towards the end though! After he went back to Sam the first time, I would have ended it there and then!

I'm confused.Tonight showed they're moving at our time which means Steph should be about 4 or 5 months pregnant doen't it?She doesn't even have a little bump yet which isn't alarming in itself seeing it depends on your build.What does surprise me is the other night the doctor said it was to early to tell for sure what the sex is.She's supposed to be halfway through her pregnancy so surely they can tell by now.

I wish they'd move it along.This Steph/Toadie thing is getting boring and making me hate people I usually love.

I haven't watched Neighbours since the episode with the new opening credits...I just haven't been bothered tuning into it for some reason. I'm going to try and have a catch up with it on the OS but there doesn't seem to have been anything going on to make me all that interested. I dont like the Steph/Todie storyline because I feel like its kinda out of character. It would be more interesting if Steph was keeping all of this to herself or had let Todie in on it as a friend, without this whole..'lets pretend we are in love and the baby is ours' storyline. I also dont believe Todie would do that for Steph iif it meant loosing a girl hes finally found happiness with in Sonia...unless he still love Steph.
