I'm sorry I kind of lost track of what was happening in Neighbours the last couple of weeks, but luckily now I'm back on it I see very little has changed. Kate is still in Port Douglas, the only difference being sex with surftaneous boyfriend has curled her hair (geez I have got meaninglessly coarse, I mean just look at the post below). Rhys, according to today's Neighbours teaser, is going to crush Toadie and Sonya like ants. He seems to be giving them fairly good advice at this point but what would I know. I wonder if he is charging them for this offhand consult. What is the age difference between Callum and Sophie? Seems like he's 9 and she's 29. I reckon Karl should have scheduled an appointment with Sophie just like Rhys should have scheduled one with Toadie and Sonya.

According to Karl, Rhys has monkeys.Well, he's talking about the affect of caffeine on Rhys' monkeys' sperm count. I imagine that will be one hell of a scene when he does his expermiments.

As per Karl and Paul's conversation a few weeks ago about raising children, where Paul's huge amount of children was ignored, now all this stuff about how Sophie only has Kate, what about Sophie and Kate's brother, Harry?

Kate is so going to go back to Ramsay Street.

Channel 11 always spills over7 pm with Neighbours. I blame Labby and Stav.

I've been in Perth all week so the only Neighbours I saw this week was a little moment yesterday when everyone went outside to the pool for a few minutes. That was when I learnt that Sophie had gone wild at the high school and smashed up a toilet and been expelled. Also there was a funny moment when Paul and Karl were in conference over what to do about Sophie with the fan on them and mosquitoes in a kind of tropical meltdown.* Not sure why Paul doesn't have air con but it made a good setup. Now we are enjoying a vignette re: Toadie and Sonya doing different work. Intriguing. A contretemps between Sophie and Paul was also most engaging, and what was particularly interesting was the way that Sophie seems entirely unable to mask her deepest psychological issues.

Then there was an adbreak that lasted about 9 minutes.

Speaking of nutty women, Sonya's ovulating and that has apparently made her severely manic to the xth degree.

I have to go and pick Mia up from the train station but wow, I guess I'm going to have to back and watch the whole week's worth on the ATV-0 website.

* Also it was intriguing that when Karl ribbed Paul about his lack of experience when it came to parenting, all Paul could come up with was one son - not, like, his 8 living and 2 dead children in the past (that's an exaggeration but not much of one).

tonight's episode was just tasteless, on many fronts.

I don't care much for this Audrey story - unlike most of Neighbours (aside from the formal lesson plans) it's too much like real life. Anyway, I suppose if Audrey actually does die, they'll have to change the opening credits, and I guess that'll be the opportunity to bring in Priya's family. Priya is such a dork. I suppose this will change when she has that affair with Callum. As for Freya Stafford and Michael Williams stuck under a table in that rather suggestive arrangement, who wants to think, let alone know, about that! At least we weren't then shown a train going into a tunnel.

Do you think that despite himself Dr Rhys is becoming drawn to Erin? I don't know enough about Dr Rhys to know whether he has a heart or not. Erin seemingly wears the same clothes all the time, that's interesting. No, now he's doing extra devious and appalling things to suggest Erin is an alcoholic. He really needs a moustache to twirl.

The woman who is talking with Karl looks very familiar. She must have been in something. I wonder what. Nice how Dr Rhys is lurking round corners to listen in to their discussions.

Sonya is going to have Susan's baby. Oh no, a sex montage. That was horrible. I'm glad it was really short. I assume if you see fireworks and trains in stations, that conception has taken hold. Certainly Sonya's head has gotten bigger.

Dr Rhys is going to celebrate getting into the surgery programme by cutting someone's hand off and attaching it to their head like a cocky crest.

Well, Dr Rhys isn't the only person who knows how to lurk.

Then it ceased. Good show what! I am very much anticipating next week's run of instalments.

Does Dr Rhys live with Kyle and Jade or has he broken in to their house?

Is Kate like a greek chorus of one? Why does she hate Summer (the person)? Why is Karl drinking out of a baked bean can? Why is Paul talking to Karl? Have they ever met before? I have a feeling they should have been introduced. Karl is very open to suggestion, all it took was for Paul to tell him to get the feminine stuff out of his house and next scene you know he's doing it. In-karl-red-ipaul.

I love the Rhys-Kyle-Jade house's backlit cupboards.

Erin has this thing about how ugly she is. It's so bizarre that they got someone like this to play this character. You'd think there were no objectively ugly actresses or something. It's ghastly to think they found this person to play this character. Anyway, I am finding this whole thing really awkward.

Now Paul is focusing on Karl's penis. I don't know what happened between Karl and Susan, it's just you know, the 105th bust up between those two. You could compile a shortlist, without even thinking, of the things that will bring them together again (potentially fatal illness, potentially fatal fire, Susan will get a new love interest, Karl won't).

What did Kate do that means she can't do now whatever job she previously did? I suppose I could research this too. Michael has 'back to back meetings' - what kind of meetings are these perchance? It's some kind of variation on face to face meetings I suppose. Now he's resigned. Way to get out of the show man. He's going surfing with Freya Stafford.

I loved the way that Dr Rhys, his evil plan working, can barely bear to touch Erin when she hugs him. Why does Dr Rhys tell Kate constantly what he's up to in this crafty scheme? She could, let's face it, just warn Erin that Dr Rhys is evil, and why isn't she doing that? Oh, wait, back from ad break and she's doing it. Cool scene coming up. She slapped him that was reasonably rad. It was funny then the perspective on tiny Karl. I'm going to have to research the Kate-employment thing, and the Kate-Sophie thing. I guess they are probably connected.

Then it ended. It was grouse! Can't wait for the next ep.

Today as Toady discusses the strange business of his framing by Peter Noonan, he is wearing a scout uniform. The woman at reception at Noonan Enterprises was obviously going to help him out as she had a speaking role. Karl is apparently cohabiting with Sky now. He said she was very much a part of the household, at least he didn't say 'family'. He is looking younger. Here is someone called Aden, I wonder who he is (a nurse, but is he otherwise a character?). They are very concerned about this strange person called Chris, whose only decoration in his hospital room is his own ribs' x-ray. I see Chris is in Room 123. Does that mean there are at least 123 rooms in Erinsborough Hospital? There may even be 124. Sonya today is wearing a glittery cowboy jacket over a spotty shirt dress.

Paul is here. He appears out of breath. He appears to be Rupert Murdochesque, on a small scale, insisting on an interview on something or other for I assume his newspaper, or for Paultel.

I don't understand what the problem is with Susan and Karl but I have to say I am fairly not interested in the third major bust up of their Neighbours tenure. It's hard to know what incarnation of their family unit they'd be most likely to put on display, there must be a hundred. At least they still have that mental family portrait on display above the fireplace.

Toady's name is actually spelt J-a-r-r-o-d.

I really should look at the website or something to get some appropriate background to figure out why Karl and Susan have split up this time, but I'm worried I might get bored.

Then it ended. It was great! Can't wait for tomorrow's.
