It won’t be
What you could show or refer to under the G rating evidently changed so much that it really dumbed the program down. They couldn’t say “sex”, but could have sex! They couldn’t say drug or alcohol addiction.
I remember the references to Sonya’s “party addiction”. Anyone would have thought she couldn’t stop playing Pass the Parcel or eating jelly and ice cream!

I remember watching the Neighbours 30th anniversary doco and Margot Robbie revealed that in one scene they couldn’t say the ‘period’ word.
I was actually referring to Jack Scully who was seen going out and they even showed under the influence of something but they said he was partying hard.
With Sonya, they didn’t want to actually say she was a drug addict which was really strange. When her son Callum was introduced and Toadie became his foster father, Callum had been living with his grandmother because his mother was a “druggie” who abandoned him. When they decided to make the link with Sonya and make her his mother, they didn’t want to make look too bad so they made her an alcoholic. Later they said she was an addict and chucked in gambling and drugs as well to suit the storylies.

I noticed with Felicity she said to Cash she was sexually assaulted didn’t use the r word . Would that be because of the PG classification?
Why are we seeing another explosion… we saw one 6 months ago at the petrol station in the car Felicity was in .

One was a car crash, and the other was a bomb… by the same token I think we add Mali’s birthday party to the list as there were flames ontop of the candles.

That’s a pretty interesting article. One question, what is a ‘sustained role’? Is it just another way of saying continuously? Or is it wording to differentiate between continuous service and the situation with Stefan Dennis where he originated the role of Paul Robinson at the very start of Neighbours and is still on air today, albeit with a twelve year gap where Stefan/Paul wasn’t on the show?

Not sure about this week, but noticed previously the past year for some reason Seven stopped airing that ‘switch now to 7Two for Home and Away’ at 7pm on main channel. Which wouldn’t help ratings, especially Sydney who aren’t used to this situation (where H&A usually always takes precedence over the AFL).

It did air on Thursday night in Sydney - switch to 7TWO for Home and Away or stay on Seven for the footy (with a six second countdown).

In Melbourne I’ve seen them do the ‘switch to 7two’ at the beginning of the ad break before the weather. Very strange, because H&A doesn’t start for about 7 minutes.

Just curious about Leah and Justin
Is there episode where they arrive at the “ so call 5 star resort”
I’m wondering in Perth have skipped an episode!!!
The Brownlow Medal aired main channel on Monday, did it air on 7TWO that night?
H and A was on 7Two in Adelaide and Perth.
All markets are running same episodes.

Strange check on 7plus , haven’t missed an episode. Did any else feel that they had skipped an episode???
It was very weird. I thought I’d missed an episode too, but apparently not. Perhaps we’re going to see something in flashbacks? Either that or perhaps they spent all their money hiring the old ice cream factory and didn’t have the funds to hire people to play the kidnappers?

Been wondering if that huge derelict factory/warehouse (exterior), where a current promoted storyline is taking place, is the same location used some 18 years ago for the infamous on/off story arc of Sally’s ‘Summer Bay stalker’ AKA the elusive Zoe (2004 - 2006)?
A refresher:
