-Andrew- Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't really think bringing characters back from the dead is what Neighbours needs right now, its on eggshells as it is....... However, bringing in a Madge-esque character would be fine by me, but resurrecting her would just damage the show. Oh, and get rid of the damn Carmella, she is the most irritatingly bland character on the show, she was great during her 04 guest stints, but she's like Amanda Vale, she ONLY works on guest stints!

Drew Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 *sighs* Why couldn't H&A do this. This could work in a way, because the audience is writting what they want to see... But then again it could be a complete disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamey-Maria Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 They're getting desperate aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieL Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 ^^ Yes, they must be desperate. I like the idea of the Parker's moving out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Pff. Nice to know they only want foreign opinions . I guess they're giving up on the Australian market altogether and investing whole-heartedly in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmins Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 come on people, lets give it ago. lets present our ideas to the given email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'm thinking of sending them an email writting that there's an Earthquake in Erinsbourough and that Ramsay street collapses into a crater... That will bring in ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will bring in ratings. you must remember that UK viewers tend to love the light-hearted, laid-back storylines. strong characterization. and the older and well-established characters. how about?: The return of Madge Bishop/Jim Robinson (from the dead) and Harold Bishop. - Love interest/new double act for Lou Carpenter! - A NEW Madge Bishop/Mrs Mangel feud - The return of the Bishop family with new kids for David/Liljana Bishop - Susan Kennedy's sister arrives, spicing up the street, embarrassing and driving the Kennedy's up the wall - injecting some comedy into the show! - Storylines to do with The 'Ramsay' family moving in! while the Parkers move out.

emmasi Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 IF they wanted my opinion, which they don't, my first recommendation would be to bring back Connor. Possibly Maddie and Laurie as well. Toadie needs a proper friend - he has no one. He has his foster parents, his colleagues, his ex, her housemate, and his housemates. He even has a kid now. But where are his FRIENDS? A guy his own age that he can hang out with and talk to about girls and stuff. Time to revive The House of Trouser!! Or at least half of it. I'd get rid of anyone who's Italian and thinks that I should care. Don't get me wrong, I am not anti-Italian, but I am anti-jerk. And Marco is a freakin' jerk about it. "Do I know about Soccer? Of course! I'm Italian!" and however many other times he's said it, which have been enough for it to annoy me. And it seems to have come from his father, "That baby is beautiful, she must be Italian!" Which then rubs off on Carmella, "Why yes, she is Italian! And so am I! Did I mention that I'm Italian!?" I thought the whole point of multiculturalism was not to constantly segregate yourself from everyone else by declaring how special you are based solely on your racial heritage. It annoys me that these characters seem so obsessed with forming their own little racial clique, so if that's how they're going to be, they can do it somewhere else. I want to see characters interacting with each other as people, not stereotypes. At least before when this stuff went on, I had Rosie's good acting and character as compensation. Next I would stop breaking up great families for the sake of drama. The Napier/Robinsons - what the HELL was that!? The law of cheating is that you trade UP. Why the hell would Paul give up Rebecca, and two step-sons that were important to him, as well as his own daughter's respect, for Kirsten? She is NOT his type at all. She has no class, she has a little boy who's father is still in both their lives for God's sake. Paul wouldn't get his hands that dirty. Although, after saying that, I suppose there was Lyn. But wasn't that the tumor? I'm so annoyed by that though. They really were the best family - I liked all of them. Now The best would be the Kennedys, and that has Rachel, Libby and Ben to deal with. It's not the same >.< I'd also get rid of the Parkers, because they are NOT a great family, they are a sucky family, Steve and Nicola at the very least. Perhaps they can have that filthy affair and get themselves kicked out of the family forever I don't like Miranda, but she's played by a good actress, so without the other two getting in her way she might have some potential. And I got nothing against Bridget. Although I do wish she'd stand up straight once in a while... And just for fun, let's make Ringo gay, and Declan open to suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
