Neighbours Muff Diver - 30th August ETA

Neighbours new lesbian Lana CrawfordHow exciting for us Neighbours watchers! Ramsay Street will be having someone of the lesbionic persuasion arriving soon, and she’s going to have a pash with Sky Mangel - how positively raunchy!

Lana Crawford will be played by ex-Canuck Bridget Neval, who has previously starred in a Channel Ten children’s show Wicked Science and something called Guinevere Jones. Says Bridget about her impending role on Neighbours -

“My initial reaction to the role was ‘What? A gay character in Neighbours’? But the nature of the character never bothered me. My only concern was that the story would not be told in a sensationalist or distasteful way. It’s not a stereotypical character and being gay is not her only character trait.”

All in all, things look to be spicing up on the show which should make 6:30pm a far more interesting time slot than ever before. My only hope is that they don’t do a Gypsy from Home & Away storyline where she’s only gay for a while and eventually gravitates towards one of the shows male heartthrobs.

PS: Was forced at gunpoint to go to the pub for dinner last night, so I missed out on seeing if Jack Scully is dead. Can anyone fill me in on what happened?

Random Jack Scully Memory
Remember when Michelle, Lori and Nina were discussing their spunky boyfriends over at Harold’s place? Oh, how I laffed when Lori said “Jick has the BIST arms!” - Jack Scully has chicken arms! Chicken arms, I tell you!

Jack is alive. Sadly. Damn sensationalist adds.

You know what will be funny to see... if neighbours take their stereotypical heartthrobs and turn them on each other! Stuart takes Jack up the bum. Oh how I will laugh!

I mean... neighbours... whats that? Never heard of it? I dont watch such silly soapie things religiously! no!

Are you knocking chicken arms? Oh, you are? Goodo. Just wanted to make sure.

Unfortunately, the once-much-desired-by-me-but-now-too-boring-for-words Jack Scully is very much alive, despite the coughing up of blood due to a punctured lung. Now Steph is faced with the dilemma of whether to tell Ma and Pa...pfft. Call THAT drama? Oh, and Jack is being charged with driving while under the influence by Mack and Stu (ooh, how ironic etc.)

PS. Pippa's son, Chris, came back to Home and Away briefly as a gay character! I was so excited. You could tell he was gay because he took lots of showers and complimented girls on their outfits. Oh, and he tried to pash Seb. Such masterful characterisation...

You know, I stumbled across (no really!) some rather disturbing fan fiction regarding that very thing - and it was rather traumatic. Dr Karl taking Drew up the ring? Joel and Stuart in the shower? Leo and Matt Hancock?! More worrying than any of the storylines was the fact the writer of said scenarios was completely illiterate. If you're into gay SMS-like erotica, three thumbs up. If not - give it a miss, it'll give you nightmares!

This is like, the THIRD auto based accident that has ended up a schmozzle. I'm starting to get angry. Stu? Jack? Stingray? Hell, Boyd? There was someone else too so I've missed out on FIVE GOOD NEIGHBOURS DEATHS! On the upside, Joe Scully is still gone. And Hannah Martin hasn't returned.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jack Scully's face is slowly falling into it's centre, as though a cranium-like black hole has appeared on his nose. Or something. I'm sure Stephen Hawking could explain it better. However, since you're a game show veteran, I'll let your previously dodgy taste slide. Tee hee!

Oh and I wasn't watching Home & Away when young Chris Fletcher-Ross showed up but I investigated it and during my Google travels I stumbled across something very very very very disturbing. One clue: ET

PS: Seb? Seb I ask you?! Terrible taste! PPS: If anyone cares, I've worked out the next TWO Appreciation Weeks and they're wicked. And they may even be held!

I demand clues for said appreciation weeks.

Much as I hate to sound like a pervy old uncle, is Sky the one that miraculously turned from "rebellious" (cough) brunette nuffy to blonde "hello boys" bit-a-alright? Cus her appearance in a bit of lesbian gear might just make me start paying closer attention (ie taping back-up copies) of Neighbours. Any chance of getting the younger bird Dr Karl is porking to get in on the act? This could finally be the end of staying up until some ungodly hour waiting for the L word to stop sucking and start living up to it's inevitable climax of an all-in girl on girl lovefest...

Taw, you are the pervy old uncle from hell!

Yes, Sky is the blonde bombshell - following in the vein of her famous fellow blonde Neighbours bombshell brother - Jason Donovan!

It is an extremely saucy move on the Neighbours producers behalf, but I can't imagine there's going to be too much DeGeneres-ing going on during dinner time around Australia. Still, we can hope?!

Oooh! Imagine a Neighbours Adults Only 8:30pm special?! Sky and her new gay lover, Harold and Lou, the truth behind Darcy's prison shower escapades, Susan and the local rabbi\priest\guru group sex shock - the possibilities are endless!

I can't believe someone managed to stumble upon any neighbours fanfic at all! I have been looking for SkyBoyd fics for ages and I can't find any...so some help would be nice

I have no idea what'll happen with Sky and Lana...I mean they kissed, but now Boyds being such a jerk about it and on the previews for monday it was like "never touch me again boyd"-Sky (I live in Australia BTW)
