The new actor playing Declan is about to come on screen in the UK, i've seen an article with him in Inside Soap magazine, i have to say i didn't like the look of him much. I never usually like it when an original actor is replaced by another, there's only one occasion and that was when they replaced Martin Dingle-Wall in Home and Away with Joel McIlroy as Flynn Saunders, my mum and i prefered the new one to the old one, weird that. I guess some people suit parts and others don't in some cases, but usually it is the case you prefer the original.

I agree i prefered the later flynn

Are we meant to be happy about Paul having won? Because I have a lot more sympathy for Diana after tonight than either him or Rosemary.

Hopefully he'll get what's coming to him when the Visitors get here.

I have no idea how to feel about Libby and Lucas. I liked them together back in 2008, when I still had some sympathy for her and when it was still soon enough after Dan and Samantha's breakup that she was giving him space. But it just seems too late now.

Loved the use of Suddenly at the wedding, and how Paul heard it at his brother's wedding.

Looking forward to tomorrow. One of the flashforwards earlier in the week reminded me of Watchmen, somehow. Not to mention the whole Who Shot JR/Mr. Burns? vibe.

I liked the use of Suddenly at the wedding.

I hope Paul finally gets what he deserves.I might like him if he owned who he is but he pretends to be some saint then goes around backstabbing everyone including his family.

It should come as no surprise that I am extremely pissed off by Sam's return, not least because the writers seem to expect us not to sympathise with her. Sam is the only character I sided with the whole way through Libby and Dan's relationship and pitting her against Steph frankly just makes her look better. For the second time in a few months, we're clearly in Designated Villain territory here.

I thought Sam was a great character during her first stint, she was layered and you really did have sympathy for her - then they turned her into what she is now and I dont like her.

How sad was Neighbours last night? Poor Steph going to jail. Lyn is so annoying telling Andrew to stay away from Summer. She pushed him into Tash's arms.

[alexx]

Yes last night was good - I was surprised that I really did believe she had been sent to jail, I haven't believed in much on Neighbours over the past 12-24 months but I did believe in this court case and I felt really sorry for Steph when she was given the guilty verdict.

[dncllpyk]

Last nights episode was good. Did Summer mouth I love you to Andrew? I'm pretty sure she did. I'm loving Summer and Andrew together

Has anybody else read that Dieter Brummer (Shane) is joining Neighbours for several episodes? I read in tv week....cant exactly remember his connection but I'm thinking he has something to do with Sonya. I can't wait to see Dieter again!
