Lesley Bee Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm glad Janet's returning, i liked her character Lynne Scully. It will be nice for Susan as well, to have her old friend back for support through her difficult time Typical, David is leaving just as i am warming to his character oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_louise Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thank goodness, I never liked Oliver. He was a poor replacement for Will IMO. I'm surprised Lyn is returning so soon...I felt that her character was well and truly wrung out by the time she left. There was nowhere left for her to go so she ended up with some terrible storylines (like marrying Paul). But it's a nice bit of continuity for her to come back and see her family and friends, and it will be nice to see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_angel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm happy that Janet is coming back even if it is just for a month. But like mrsbaker, i'm sad that David is leaving just as i am starting to warm to Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lynd~ Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Lyn probably returns for Steph and Toadies wedding..I'm not happy David's leaving but i'm not surprised either as the rumours have been going around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevkehaa Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I stopped watching Neighbours because every good character is leaving the show, leaving the boring and new characters alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colette Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Bugger just as I am getting to like Oliver he leaves Lynn *yawns* can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucaspatrick Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Oliver isn't the only one leaving... Riley, Marco, Ned, Carmella, Rachel, Mickey and Elle are also on their way out - within the space of a few of months of each other. This, on top of Frazer, Rosie, Harold, Valda, Janae all leaving Ramsay Street... It's called "jumping off the sinking ship"!! And from what I hear most of the rest of the cast (especially the new ones like Jane Hall and Steve Bastoni who agreed to come onboard because they were promised Neighbours was "changing") are cursing their contracts and regretting they can't jump ship too... I really wish they'd let this show go while it still has SOME grace... It's all too sad to watch it die this slow and painful death... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm sad that Oliver's going, but seeing that Elle and Riley are going too, it's not so bad. I can't stand watching Elle lower herself to Riley's level when Oliver is right THERE. She's way too classy to be with a surfy bum who looks like he's eternally stoned. There is a time and a place for such characters, but none of them should be awkwardly affiliated with my Elle. Happy to hear that Rachel is FINALLY getting off my TV screen. Perhaps she'll be moving to Orange County like she's so obviously wanted to do for the past three years Ned and Mickey will be a big loss for me, but I can only hope they'll be going off to join Janae and the rest of the Timminses. Perhaps there'll be a delightful spin-off... None of this is as big a problem for me as the mass exodus on Home and away. With the exception of Ned and Elle (who I've been pained to watch anyway, given her stupid circumstances), these are characters I can either take or leave. I like Frazer and Rosie, but they haven't been around long enough for me to be overly attached. Oh, and Harold of course, but he's getting on so I can't expect him to stay around forever, and I don't begrudge him a change of scenery after so many years. When all these people go, I'll still have Karl, Susan, Toady, Steph, Lou, Zeke, Declan, Paul, Rebecca, Bridget, Ringo(?), etc to care about. When the people on H&A go, I think I'll have about 3 or 4 characters left that I have a genuine interest in, and even then I'm not confident that the writers will actually DO anything interesting with them. If Neighbours goes down, I don't think H&A's got much chance of staying afloat either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellboy Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I don't know where you heard that Marco, Ned, Carmella, Rachel, Mickey and Elle are all leaving. Certainly not true as far as I'm aware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
