Piper Willis

[Aussieguy]

I like the character but lately she's been annoying and more dramatic than usual. Terese did the right thing. If they'd been caught later Tyler could have gotten more jail time or even worse. 10 years is not the end of the world

I can't believe what an airhead piper turned into ... and she still won't accept her part to play in the destructive influence she had on the relationship.

I don't think Tyler would have dumped her if she had shown some inner strength to stand by him and wait rather than her usual tactic to run away (How many times have we revisited this story with what ever boyfriend she has).

That was one of the most brutal break ups ever. Even Mav had a hard time dealing with it. Surely they could have ended it with some hope they may get back together.

She didn't play a destructive part. That was all down to Hamish.

Honestly think Hamish was the most evil character ever in the history of the show. Makes Paul look like a choir boy

A couple of Digital Spy articles on Piper's storyline for next week:


Neighbours' Piper Willis fights off newcomer Lockie in attempted rape storyline.

She faces a frightening ordeal next week.

Neighbours teen Piper Willis faces a terrifying situation next week as newcomer Lockie tries to force himself on her.

Piper (Mavournee Hazel) finds herself in danger after embarking on a mission to track down a mystery participant of Erinsborough's book exchange programme, believing that this unknown person could be a kindred spirit.

Last week, viewers saw Piper get excited when she discovered that a fellow book lover had underlined various passages in copies of novels at the exchange.

In the wake of losing her boyfriend Tyler Brennan, Piper can't help feeling a connection with this individual – and she finally gets a lead when she spots new character Lockie dropping off one of her favourite books.

When Piper takes a look inside, she's delighted to see that parts of the novel have been underlined. As a result, she jumps to the conclusion that Lockie must be the person she's been searching for.

Piper later finds out that Lockie works at the Back Lane Bar and decides to follow him there to ask him about the books.

Although Lockie actually has nothing to do with the underlining, he lets Piper think that he does in the hope of taking things further with her.

Lockie soon has to come clean when Piper talks about specific themes from the books, forcing him to admit that he actually knows nothing about them.

Turning sleazy, Lockie adds that he just thought Piper wanted to hook up with him. When Piper sets Lockie straight, her strong denial angers him and he locks the door at the bar – claiming that he knows why she came here and she's going to get it.

Fortunately, Lockie is distracted when Piper receives a phone call, giving her the chance to knee him in the groin and rush to the door.

Although Piper manages to get away unharmed, she later admits to her loved ones that it was a very close call.

Piper's mum Terese and newcomer Chloe Brennan both encourage her to report the incident to the police while it's fresh in her mind, so will Lockie face the consequences of his actions?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, April 16 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Neighbours to explore mental health storyline for Piper Willis after an emotional outburst over Tyler.

Her friends and family become worried next week.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neig...mental-health/

Piper Willis's mental health becomes a cause for concern on Neighbours next week, after she lashes out at the Brennan brothers in an emotional state.

The popular character struggles to cope when she finds out that Mark and Aaron have given away Tyler's old chair following his dramatic Ramsay Street exit.

With Tyler languishing in prison, Mark and Aaron notice that Piper (Mavournee Hazel) has developed an unhealthy attachment to the chair and decide that a dose of tough love is needed here.

Wanting Piper to stop moping over her lost love, Mark (Scott McGregor) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) donate the chair to a local "trash and treasure" sale behind her back.

When Piper realises what's happened, she's devastated and demands an explanation for Mark and Aaron's cruelty.

As the argument escalates, Piper completely loses it and seems overwhelmed by her grief – leaving the Brennans feeling deeply remorseful for taking away her one source of comfort.

Although they regret their actions, the Brennans quickly realise that Piper's extreme reaction could be a sign of a bigger problem and call in doctor David Tanaka for support.

David suggests that Piper should undergo regular therapy and begin taking medication for anxiety and depression, but she stubbornly refuses to take any of his advice.

Deeply worried about her daughter, Terese later convinces Steph Scully to talk with Piper about her own experiences.

The idea works, with Piper finally opening up about everything – including how she fears she'd appear weak by taking medication.

Steph reminds Piper that mental illness is valid and there's no shame in asking for help, prompting her to finally commit to a recovery plan. Will this be a positive turning point for Piper?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, April 19 and Friday, April 20 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.

Really hope they don't put Piper on anti-anxiety or depression medication if it's just depression and not something like bi-polar. Both can become extremely addictive and do more harm than good. She'd be much better off with something natural and non-addictive

[Aussieguy]

Piper's break down over the chair was pretty intense. Would have been a tough scene to film

[Kyzaah]

I’m personally glad they’ve added this storyline for her. It raises awareness and shows a side of anxiety that some people may not know about. The breakdown over the chair was so heartbreaking, I applaud the actress for it.

[Aussieguy]

I agree but not sure about putting her on SSRI's which can be extremely addictive and hard to come off. Steph's situation was much different. Putting her on something natural like Tryptophan would have been better IMO
