Neighbours Spoilers 9th - 13th November 2020

[courseiam]

Now it just has silly moments that aren't funny and take you out of the show.

They have a story that starts at A and ends at Z, and everything in between needs to be filled in however possible - doesn't matter if it fits the character or even makes logical sense (or even, let's say, emotional sense).

Things like Toadie cheating on Sonya was out of character for a guy we've seen for 20yrs.
Dipi deserting Shane during his addiction after being so supportive of Sonya.
Dipi accepting the necklace from new Pierce after he said Chloe didn't want it - wow, how's that for making your mistress feel special. I struggle to believe 'the other woman' would want a gift that was rejected by the man's wife.

Sure there are others. The first one I listed sticks out most. All of these drive the story forward but takes away from the character they built up. Feels very short-term. Week to week, story to story and reset afterwards expecting audiences to do the same thing.

Could not have put it better!

And chole. When she was doing cash for conversation.

A lot has happened since then, and I don't think Dipi cares about Shane now.

We always see characters do things that are out of character for the sake of the story arc. If an actor leaves though I suppose they have to find some reason for a couple to break up even if it doesn't make sense. Another recent example is Chloe going off at Pierce during the cooking class. I don't like Chloe but this was not in character but the producers had to create friction between them
