Another good one. A bit of a slow burner, but with some great moments.

Angus (sorry, Mr Henderson!) being so peeved didn't make it obvious that anything was going on at all, did it?! Loved Didge's "You pashed the replacement teacher!" She doen't need to feel worse! Didge was quite funny today; later rubbing Declan's nose in it whilst texting Josh.

See Rach and Zeke are still trying to get out of the other what they did *last night* and both being too shamed to say.

Loved Lou's morality regarding cheating Darren. Go, Lou! Harold was typically Harold, seeing the best in everyone

The interlocking scenes with Libby/Steph and Darren/Toadie were fantastic and unintentionally funny. In one fell swoop, Steph and Toadie have put their relationship down the swanny for their respective mates. That's what made me chuckle a bit!

I felt a bit for Darren when Libby used Ben, reminding him he wasn't his son I dislike Darren, but he is constantly reminded he missed out first time and that must be hard. BUT.....

....OH MY GOD! YOUR CHEATING IS NOT LIBBY OR DREW'S FAULT!!!!! Sorry, got a bit emotional there. Libby's right. Drew would never hurt her or cheat. He went through agony to get her so he wouldn't just let her go! Plus, he's her husband. They didn't divorce! He tragically died (keep it together, Sarah ) If he was still alive they would be living in Oakey; happy as anything. And I can understand her protectiveness over Ben, as he is all of Drew she has left that's tangible.

Oh, I loved Steph's grey top/dress thing! She looked lovely today!

Marco's sister was a bitch. Glad Carmella stood up to her. But the fact that he was married means the ex will come sniffing round. Things never go smoothly for poor Carmella

It sounds like it hasn't been easy for Darren though. Sounds like Libby's never really let him in. Maybe even Drew would have cheated if he had been in such a lonely relationship.

But it still doesn't make cheating right of course. If he was unhappy, he maybe should have ended the relationship rather than hurting Libby this way.

Stephs dress thing seemed very late 80s to me. Gorgeous!

Yeah, I know it can't have been easy for Darren. But he has to either trust that Liiby is 'over' Drew or get it all out with her. As I recall, it was Libby who wanted to live with Darren in Shep; she went of her own accord. It's so easy for Darren to blame Drew, but Darren chose to have an affair.

Whilst Libby never really opened up to Darren about her current feelings for Drew, Darren lied to Libby and told their friends. That's rubbing her nose in it slightly!

So, today's ep:

Angus may as well just write "I went out with Rachel and we kissed, but have since found out I'm going to be teaching her Virginia Woolfe" on the blackboard His obviousness is worrying.

Loved Valda nosing on Steph and Toadie's argument, then relaying all of it to Libby. Nosing grandparents in soaps are funny! Stephie and the Toad's recon was nice. For the first time I 'got it'. T'was really sweet

Dunno if anyone else noticed, but when Kirsten got off the phone from Steph, she fumbled her phone and it wouldn't shut. Funny!

Loved the irony of a bald Steve saying to Miranda about hair acessories The whole story of "will Kirsten go to Oakey or not" was just dull. We all knew she would and be alone with Ned so Janae can torture herself. I'm actually glad they've gone so Ned and Kirsten are off screen for a bit.

Loved Stu being mentioned! Yay!

No Neighbours till Tuesday

Happy Easter, everyone

I know i put five on at 5:30 ready for neighbours and there was a film on. I was like whats going on, then i remembered!!

Neighbours is back - Yay!

For some reason I love it when Karl and Susan argue. Karl gets all serious and Suse is so sarky - which results in some great banter. I know there is always a serious reason behind it, but it tickles me!

Oh, so glad Karl is back to being 'Dr Karl' again

It's weird seeing Paul Robinson as some lady's lap dog. Can't see it lasting.

So is Riley's big thing with Elle just getting her to get him food?! Easy!

I kind of feel for Darren everytime anyone mentions Drew. But then I think, well, Libby and Ben are back and it's only natural people (esp Harold) will comment.

Loved Steph today. First off with being 'Miss Sensible' with Libby regarding Drew (which was so true, btw) then with Janae. First of all I wondered, "why is Janae barging in Steph and Toadies'?!" Then I remembered Boyd and everything and how Steph must who she turns to now Janelle has left. Janae had some funny moments today. Loved how she called Kirsten "a mole"

Rebecca's speech at the end was really sweet. Awww. I wanna live on Ramsey Street! Normally it would feel weird having a Christmassy ep in late March, but with the snow on Sunday it didn't!

I've kind of lost track of Neighbours over the holidays. It's great having your updates, Sarah, to keep me up to date.

I did catch it yesterday, but can't really remember anything interesting. The whole Marco/Carmella/Oliver thing does nothing for me.

It's nice to know someone is reading my ramblings, Fi!

Yesterday's wasn't great, but the ending between Libby and Ben was soooo sweet. I welled up a touch.

To today's....

Loved Rachels' day dream about Angus. No soap does dream squences quite like Neighbours. It reminded me about Janelle's dreams when she was writing her novel.

I am thinking Rachel is looking more and more like Victoria Beckham. It's the pout. Very annoying.

Thought Ringo was acting like a drunkard. Falling into furniture and generally acting like he was high. Twonk

Can't see Jess keeping her imagination inactive for long about THAT! Ooooh, I give her 5 minutes!

I agree about Oliver/Carmella/Marco. It's sooo dull. Can't see what she saw/sees in either of them. But Rosie is not helping matters though. I know she hates Oliver for what happened, but he has a right to be involved and not pushed aside for a 'new family'.

Normal Karl and Suse banter. Alaways nice. Loved it when Suse said "Great! They've replaced me with a hunk!" when Libby told the family K about Angus

Great to have Fitzt back on screen! Plus, trying to get Lib back in the classroom. Go for it Lib! Tell Darren to bog off back to Shep and get back teaching those 18 year olds.....No! Not that...again!

The Steph/Libby chat at No.28 wasn't really needed but I loved it. They really can't be apart for too long!

Janae has had some great lines recently. Today calling Kirsten a "naughty girl" was class.

I like Miranda and Steve but he reminds me of Phil Martin sooo much. The fact they live in the same house isn't helping!

Darren - shot down again. Take the hint, love and jog on! She don't want ya!

I usually hate replying to my own posts, but after such a bloody fantastic episode today, I couldn't resist sharing. That's no April Fool!

First off - Janae and Darren And who's the last person you want witnessing that little mistake....you guessed: Kirsten. She's loving it, the silly moo

Now, to the important stuff. Dance party disaster.

Now, I know it was all pretty over-acted but this is Neighbours so go with me. I only really got genuine fear from Didge. Her screaming did annoy but it's what people do in crisis.

Declan was sweet. Coming back for his one true. Y'know after carrying her current fella to safety. What a guy! Seriously now, I felt *so* sorry for him when Didge just blanked him when he was about to tell her how he felt. God girl, be grateful!

Ringo/Jess: Both annoy me terribly so won't bother going into too much with them. I'll just say I loved the conviently placed gap in debris where they could hold hands

We had a lot of men standing by their women. Just thought that. Riley and Elle too. My my, Paul and Steve/Miranda will be in for a shock when they come out.

Love Fitzy in uniform

I love Libby. You all know this, but what a prize idiot she was today. Just running into a collapsing building with nothing remotely safe on. Hasn't her mother been through enough?! She's no good giving first aid if she's trapped under rubble!

The cliff hanger was great though. With pretty much everyone still in there we still don't know who gets out OK and who doesn't. Well, if you're spoiled (like me) you know!

The Janae/Darren thing is boring me (I'm easily bored). It was all too convieniently set up anyway, it didn't feel realistic to me.

I loved the Dance party disaster. Jess/Ringo was funny! But they should have killed off someone major.... I have a list.

Libby was an idiot, but I still love her.

Todays episode...

Libby and Darren back together, but for how long?

Rachel obviously talking about herself when talling Susan and Karl about Zeke and how he was feeling. I'm glad that Karl explained what happened and that he felt a little guilty, it is completely understandable though.

Ringo/Jess... ok, a little welling up.

Was that it?

Oh god no... Ned/Janae/Kirsten/Mickey.... please all DIE DIE DIE! I used to like Janae.

Libby and Darren back together, but for how long?

Until she finds out about the kiss and goes off her nut again. Darren's living on egg shells, I can't see him pulling it off to be honest.

Zeke has totally annoyed me over the dance party disaster eps. When the second collapse happens he told Karl to go and help Libby but Karl stays to help him; but when they all get out Zeke goes off at Karl! What the hell for?! Karl obviously feels guilty, but I don't see what he could have done differently.

Rachel and Angus is changing more than the weather. First he tells her it's over, then he wants to give it a go, then he's unsure again....Can't see it ending/going smoothly. But Rachel won't give up, which he making her slightly whingy. Not loving either of the Kinski kids at the mo.

Yeah, the scene with Ringo at the warehouse site was quite sad I fear bad times ahead for young Ringo.

quote:

Oh god no... Ned/Janae/Kirsten/Mickey.... please all DIE DIE DIE! I used to like Janae.

Why are they getting so much air time?! Ned/Kirsten/Mickey are beyond awful. Ned has one fixed expression (dumb, normally), Kirsten is just a watered-down, rubbish version of Izzy and the kid who plays Mickey can't act to save his life. And they have totally effed up Janae's character. She used to be strong, humourous and didn't tolerate rubbish and they have turned her into a simpering mess!

Jess's memorial made me cry.
Still think Angus is HOT.
Kirsten needs shooting.
We already know Libby is gonna stay as she is in the opening credits.

...and siting on Fitzy lap at the very end Ooooh!
