Neighbours Spoilers 23rd - 27th November 2020

Never liked Dipi, totally can?t stand her! Biggest hypocrite on the show! Yashvi has also been very disappointing! They threw Pierce under the bus with this storyline.

I'm quite surprised at how few shouting/screaming matches there have been in the street. Thought it would have been perfect to film a public meltdown.
Also a bit disappointed in Yashvi siding with her Mum - first because 'no one else is supporting her' or something, which is fine, but it looks as if she's going to take sides against Shane. Sure the addiction caused friction, but that's not the same as having an affair with your neighbour's husband.

Yeah Yashvi supporting her mother who had the affair and not Shane is pretty ordinary. Some poor writing there. Seems to me a few characters have been thrown under the bus to justify the reasons for Pierce leaving. Pierce Dipi and Chloe who is even more stupid and annoying then usual

They would not have been allowed to film public meltdowns or screaming matches, due to COVID and possible transmission of COVID particles through the air. Singing and choirs were banned for this reason.

In terms of other complaints here about the writing, try and remember that a lot of scripts had to be rewritten in a hurry to accommodate the restrictions in Australia, in different locations, rather than their usual offices at Nunawading. Scripts were bound to suffer a little, but it is just a show at the end of the day. They were also coping with a very severe lockdown in Melbourne for the past few months. A lot of what they would usually do they've had to work around or abandon completely. Everyone is still adjusting. Neighbours 2020 is not like Neighbours 2019 and likely won't be for some time to come.

hmm.

In the promos for future episodes they have a physical altercation between Shane and Pierce, so if they are able to have actual physical contact then they could have filmed scenes outside in the street at a greater distance - even if it meant doing the same thing they have very obviously been doing and having people further away than they usually would be, including on-screen couples. Even if it meant filming one side, filming the other side and editing it together into a back and forth.

Edit: I should have added yesterday that obviously it's a real residential street so being outside while the homeowners are in their houses is probably not going to happen...


As it is, the whole thing feels rather tame and could have been more dramatic. Even with the restrictions.

The scene when Chloe entered the hotel room and saw them together was less of a shock horror revelation and more as if she knew and this was confirmation.

Definitely seems rushed and more like the best exit for Pierce would have been after the miscarriage and his ex-partner giving birth, rather than this storyline. It's not been the dramatic scandal they'd have hoped for, I think.

The show is showing a lot of boobs overall. Both Dipi?s and Therese?s boobs almost fall out of their dresses. And then the men who go out running half naked....but perhaps that is normal in Australia. 🤔

The men running half naked is normal in Australia

Today (Friday) was a close call for Dipi! Nearly a spillage outside of the cafe as Shane seethed in the background. Would have boosted the ratings...
