The show needs new blood. There hasn’t been a new regular since Nicolette well over a year ago.
Home and Away has added 6 new regulars so far this year and feels fresh.
Soaps need to have a revolving door of comings and going’s to keep them fresh. Home and Away is excellent at this but Neighbours just feels so stale at the moment.
Agree. And the show hasn’t had a new family for a while either. Is this the first year that noone is at high school from Ramsay Street? Apart from Hendrix who sometimes does a special “year 13” stint from time to time at the school.
I’m slowly finding Neighbours harder and harder to watch. I’m six weeks behind in episodes and catching up via 10play with no real desire to hurry along and get up to speed, to be honest.
I think the main problem is some of these awful storylines. The show is in desperate need of new writers and a new EP.
Also doesn’t help that some actors are pretty average and ordinary, such as Georgie Stone and also Matt Wilson IMO, which might be an unpopular opinion.
British actress and TV presenter Amanda Holden is filming a guest spot in Neighbours. Meanwhile, Neighbours regular Jemma Donovan, who plays Harlow Robinson is currently in the UK and Amanda will be playing her auntie Harriet.
The Amy-Levi-Ned threesome storyline has been cringeworthy and painful to watch.
Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has filmed a cameo on Neighbours as part of the UK storyline involving Jemma’s character Harlow (article includes some spoilers).

I am a few weeks behind in Neighbours episodes and have just caught up with the ones from mid-late September where the baby swap story unfolds and the subsequent fallout.
I didn’t think I could hate Nicolette anymore than I did previously. What a vile human being. Who in their right mind gives a different child to the parents saying that it’s theirs when it’s actually not?
And then she has the nerve to say that she wants to be more a part of Isla’s life than originally planned! I know it can’t be easy for her to give the child she gave birth to up, but the agreement was that she gives birth to the child for Aaron and David and they are the primary carers. It’s unfair on the boys if she wants more. I don’t think she should get a say when she’s done a runner and let the false narrative go on for so long.
Nicolette is such a polarising character with many people supporting her actions, leading to multiple arguments on fan pages. Paul was right all along when he said they needed a contract because this whole thing is such a mess. Then again, this storyline has brought in a lot of new viewers so I doubt it will find resolution any time soon. Charlotte Chimes is brilliant as Nicolette.
I wish someone would reply to my statement
No there are enough locations. We just got the new outdoor bar area as a new location. It’s new cast we need. Not returning. New.
What new characters should there be I reckon get rid of Aaron ,Chloe Sheila, terese and clive
No they all have connections to the street. The strays need to go. Ned, Amy, Mackenzie and Hendrix. All characters that have no links.
I agree that we need NEW characters on the show. I’m tired of seeing old characters return. We need a new family.
Until recently, we always had at least one family that had high-school aged kids (going to “Erinsborough High School”), with the odd younger sibling that would attend the high school at a later date.
