I'm pretty sure that never happened.

The show has gotten away with a lot of weird stuff over the years, but i think even they drew the line at him growing a new leg. :lol:

They sound mental :lol:


Every Neighbours fan remembers how tragic bride Dee Bliss (Madeline West) seemingly met a watery grave on her wedding day when husband Toadie accidentally drove their car off a cliff in 2003.

Nearly 14 years later, “Dee” was back on Ramsay Street, having returned from the dead, claiming to have suffered amnesia after the accident.

However, it turned out she was actually a Dee look-a-like called Andrea Somers who was trying to con Toadie out of his life savings.

Her true identity was revealed after Toadie had given into his resurfaced feelings for Dee and slept with her in a London hotel, as his horrified wife Sonya accidentally watched on via Skype.

It was later revealed that Andrea was pregnant from her encounter with Toadie and gave birth to a son, but was sent to a psychiatric ward after suffering a mental breakdown.

Months later, Andrea’s mother arrived in Erinsborough posing as a nanny called Alice, embedding herself in the Rebecchi household with a plot of getting rid of Sonya in the belief it would bring Toadie and Andrea together.

Alice was exposed after attempting to kill Sonya, who ended up dying for real months later after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.

But in another complicated twist, Madeleine then ended up playing two characters at the same time in 2019, when Dee really did return from the dead (she’d been living covertly up the coast as a woman called Karen for 16 years after witnessing a gang murder) for a clifftop showdown with Andrea.

It was later revealed the two were actually twin sisters separated at birth by a misguided nun.

Alice/Heather was a brilliant character, she posed as a perfect Mary Poppins type nanny, but when everyone's backs were turned, she'd be swigging booze from her hip flask, and preparing her 'homemade' cakes which were bought from the supermarket and the packaging quickly disposed of (later versions of which were also infused with drugs).

Everybody Needs Good Neighbours: It’s been a long-time staple for students, the unemployed, and the retired – and launched the careers of Australian stars Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, and more recently Margot Robbie. But the future of the soap opera ‘Neighbours’ is in doubt, as Channel 5 have decided to take it off-air

Its ubiquity is demonstrated by the fact that nearly six in ten (58%) Britons say they have seen an episode at some point

While 39% have not

Younger Britons (14% of those aged 18-24) are considerably less likely than Britons aged 25-64 (65-68%) to have watched the goings on at Ramsay Street

If I had known that Neighbours had morphed in to Sunset Beach, I'd have started watching it again! Cancellation of soaps is hard to take. Hopefully they give it a fitting send off for the regular viewers.

The silly neighbourhood vegetable.

Thank you for 4 decades of hot women. It was like Baywatch...but with women that could actually be your neighbours, if only you lived in Australia instead of Hull.

I was only really aware of it from the era when you just watched what was "on" and after school that was usually this. Once the number of options increased and people could choose to watch other stuff I'm actually fairly surprised that it has managed to survive this long before being killed off

Yeah, watched it all the time when it was on just after CBBC finished. Think I stopped watching it when it moved to Channel 5

Madge isn't, they killed her off in 2001.
