Amber apparently goes to Queensland-so Lauren and Paige could go to visit her and the baby. I'm going to assume Kathy will look after the baby (and let's hope she manages not to give this one away! 😀) and Bailey is living with her I think, so he'll have to see Lauren.

Tyler told Paige he was in love with her and Paige said she did feel something for Tyler. I reckon they will build up the unresolved sexul tension between them over the coming weeks and then they'll get together.
The kiss that happened when they were trying to find the stolen tools & bikes from the garage is still a secret. I wonder how much longer it will stay a secret. Secret don't stay secret for long in Ramsay Street.

She has no chemistry with Mark this time around

She never had any chemistry with Mark the first time either. They have no spark at all. They are so awkward to watch.

I find the writing of Mark has been a bit strange over the last 18 months or so in his relationships, it's not just with Paige he's never had issues previously with women but has to keep asking others for tips on his own girlfriends like when he was seeing Naomi he kept asking Paul for tips on how to give her a good time and dating advice and then in the last few weeks we've been seeing him need to take advice and pointers from at different times about his problems with Paige from: Tyler, Aaron and Nate and even Sonya/Toadie they've written him to have no idea and be so clueless!

He needs both his brain cells to be a cop, he has no brainpower left over to figure out women 😜
Will it last?

I think they had really good chemistry the first time they were together. This time however, it does just feel like they put them together for the sake of creating drama for Tyler.
It's nothing to do with Kate or anything (i'd rather have them stay together than Kate rising from the dead :p ) I just don't like them together but I think it also comes down to how annoying and immature (in my opinion) they have made Paige, maybe if she was written like she was when she arrived they'd be better?

I agree. Mark split up with Paige the first time as she was too immature, re Dakota, yet now she is 10 times worse and they are still together. Yes, bring back the old Paige. She had the cheek to call Amber a spoilt princess when she first arrived, now Amber is the mature sensible one 😀

Yes she did say when Lauren and Brad first found out she was their daughter that her adoptive parents had given her everything money could buy but not much else. Plus she overheard Mary when she was 10 saying that everything went wrong when she was brought into the family (although it has now come out that she misconstrued that remark). She was close to Ethan though, I wonder where he has gone-she hasn't mentioned him in ages, has she abandoned him too in favour of her "real" family 😀

I think her mum and dad could have done more, but when Mary popped up, she didn't SEEM that bad. In terms of how her life COULD have been, she got off lightly. This whole "woe is me" thing she does really bugs me.
I want the writers to take her back to how she was when she first arrived. I really liked her then.

Yes that's right, she obviously didn't feel like she had a real family unit..... And yes good point, its like she doesn't need him anymore although maybe Ethan comes into down the track and creates some drama :) that would be fun ;) x

I feel she never thinks of her half siblings from Brad's side and is perhaps more close to Lauren's kids i.e. Amber even though I felt she was borderline bullying Amber who was uncomfortable to let Brad stay
Paige is more childish and immature than Nell :p

I really don't believe Paige when she says she wishes her parents could be together without any drama and without causing any hurt. The amount of time she spent manipulating the situations, pushing Terese out of the picture (folding also ;) ) and making Terese paranoid. She knew exactly what she was doing and she knew exactly how much hurt it would cause without a second thought for anyone else.
Ugh, I just don't like her :p

Yes I agree. When she first came to Erinsborough I did like her, and the things she did such as trashing Harold's and swiping Kathy's heart meds were examples of a troubled child lashing out. She did seem to settle down when everything came out and it seemed like she saw the Turners as her happy family unit, she was much closer to them than to the Willises, probably because Matt made her feel a lot more a part of the family than Terese did. Although Terese did make efforts later to welcome Paige, she was still clearly battling with feelings of paranoia and jealousy. When Matt died and Lauren was alone, I think she developed a desire to re-create that happy family unit with Brad in the role Matt had previously played. She clearly didn't give any thought to how hurt Terese and the kids would be when she was folding that photo and planning to get Brad and Lauren back together. She may not have been the cause of all Brad and Terese's problems but she certainly didn't help! She didn't respect that they had been married for 20 years and had a family together and never once tried to empathise with Terese. I always though she had a rather prickly relationship with Imogen too and clearly preferred Amber. The writers have turned her into a spoilt petulant selfish manipulative brat and I can't bring myself to feel any sympathy for her upset about Brad and Lauren's breakup as she is acting like a child whose favourite toy has been taken away and given to someone else 😀 she should do something with her life instead of making a nuisance of herself with her obsession with Brad and Lauren and Mark/Tyler.

I agree I don't feel sorry for her at all because of Lauren and Brads break up!!!!! I also agree regarding Matt making her feel more welcome then Terese, which was probably the foundation for her nastiness towards her, although it doesn't excuse her behaviour...... I don't think Paige wants to be horrible I just think she can't help it LOL,,,, just my thoughts.....

Yes, it probably was Terese's attitude towards her, so I don't blame her. She hasn't really seen the best of Terese.

I agree. It's such a shame because she was one of my favourite characters too. Was. Hopefully the story writers straighten up soon cause it's getting to the point where I can't watch her. I still want her to be my favourite character, but the way she's acting is really battling my thoughts.

Not everyone.
I think the most annoying thing for me is the way she treats Tyler, she knows how he feels but is so not understanding when he wants some space. And then when she thought he had hooked up with Amy, she was very clearly jealous. If I was her, I'd totally get why he would need space.
Then with Mark, when they broke up after their first go at things, she was devastated and basically said she could see herself settling with him and when they got back together, as soon as he brings up long term commitment, she says they aren't right for each other.
I can appreciate she is thinking she's too young for kids, but she must have known that going into a relationship with a 10 year age gap (is that right?) that Mark would be way ahead in terms of where he wants to be. It seems like she wants that "perfect romance" but without the hard bits, the working at it and any long term commitment. Tyler and Mark should both runaway from her.

I'm kinda confused but I agree with your point. When Paige ended up proposing, was she going to break up with him or give him the 'baby talk'?
Mark’s devastated when Paige is hit by a car right in front of him...
With Paige missing after a row, Mark is terrified that something terrible has happened to his girlfriend when Brad accidentally reveals that she’s slipped away on a mystery errand.
Instantly realising that Paige has gone to find Michelle, it’s a race against time for Mark to locate his other half before it’s too late. He doesn’t know she’s already been kidnapped by men believing she’s Dimato’s sidekick, Michelle! (What are the odds, eh?)
When Mark and Lauren decide to check out an old Dimato haunt, they quickly find evidence Paige has been there very recently and the revelation leaves the pair panicking about where she is now.
Meanwhile, Paige is fearing for her life when the man holding her won’t believe she isn’t Michelle.
As things are looking bleak for the brunette, she manages to put all those hours of boxing training into practice! She knocks out her captor, escapes her makeshift prison and immediately makes a run for it down the road.
Incredibly luckily for her, that’s where Mark happens to be waiting, having been tipped off about where she’s being held!
Paige is desperate to be back in Mark’s arms (and who can blame her - just look at the hunk in that uniform!) She’s so impatient for their long-awaited reunion that she doesn’t look where she’s going and as she carelessly crosses the road, she runs right into the path of an oncoming car!
If being kidnapped, help captive and then run over wasn’t enough for one day, it also turns out that the person driving the car is the kidnapper who she knocked out cold eariler! Oh, no.
Mark can’t bear the thought of losing his fiancee and cradles her in his arms as they wait for the emergenct services to arrive - her fate reminding him all too much of the day he lost Kate.
Meanwhile, Lauren is also struggling with the stark reminder of Matt’s death and it’s a race against time to get her daughter to hospital so she doesn’t meet the same fate as he did. Is it already too late?
Luckily, it looks like Paige will be okay and Mark is so thrilled that he tells her they have to get married as soon as possible.
Little do they know Michelle is about to return to Ramsay Street and the dangerous Dimato saga is far from over..
What happens next?
Paige continues to help Michelle but now it’s behind Mark’s back..

Is Michelle playing Paige?
She insists she’s in terrible danger...
Just when Paige thought her trouble’s were finally behind her, Michelle turns up at her house out of the blue this week - and claims that crook Dimato has been abusing her!
Paige is horrified to see that Michelle has been beaten black and blue and takes her in for the night behind Mark’s back. Can Paige really trust the gangster’s moll?
“Paige is a good person and Michelle is a convincing victim,” explains Olympia Valance, aka Paige. “Michelle tells her that Dimato has been physically abusing her. Paige is hesitant to accept the story at first but she does believe that Michelle is in dire straits and needs a safe place to stay.”
When Mark eventually hears about Michelle’s reappearance, he warns Paige she’s being played - but his headstrong fiancée refuses to listen. When Michelle asks Paige to organise a new SIM card in her name, before urging the girl to help her get a flar lease, Paige is happy to help.
“Paige’s instincts are usually spot on,” reckons Olympia. “I think in this case, she can only see a woman being victimised and her empathy for Michelle clouds her judgement. If she found out Michelle was playing her, she’d be very hurt - but she’d also feel stupid because it would mean that Mark was right about her all along!”
Is Michelle telling the truth about Dimato - or will Paige live to regret her generosity?
Also this week...

An unlikely alliance forms between Paige and Paul as they both get caught up in Michelle and Dimato’s dodgy dealings Despite Mark’s warning for Paige to stay away from Michelle, who keeps getting Paige into trouble, Paige can’t help but offer her friend a place to stay when she rocks up to the Turner house bruised but when some of Michelle’s bruise makeup wears off it’s clear that she’s up to no good.
Pushing the friendship, Michelle (Ra Chapman) asks Paige (Olympia Valance) to get her a SIM card in Paige’s name and she does without a thought for what Michelle could really be using it for. She later suggest Paige also get her an apartment in Paige’s name but it’s not until Dimato (David Serafin), frustrated with Michelle’s lack of progress with the plan, slaps Michelle for real this time, that Paige is motivated to sign the lease.
Paul (Stefan Dennis) first gets mixed up with Dimato when they make a deal for the gazebo business Paul started with Amy (Zoe Cramond).
Wanting to check out Dimato’s business credentials before getting involved in another venture with him, Paul finds stolen goods in the apartment Paige leased for Michelle.
While Dimato makes Paul a tempting offer to forget what he’s seen, on Amy’s advice Paul decides to do the right thing and tell Paige.
To confirm Paul’s information, Paige checks out the apartment and finds the stash. She confronts Michelle who admits it’s payback for Paige sending Michelle to jail.
A scuffle breaks out; Michelle pins Paige down and calls the police about suspicious activity at the apartment in Paige’s name and then phones with details on the houses the goods were stolen from.
Paige is shocked and realises she’s been stitched up big time. She reaches out to Paul for help but will he be able to pull her out of this mess before she gets in deeper?

Neighbours' Olympia Valance could be about to follow in the Hollywood footsteps of former Home and Away star Chris Hemsworth.
The actress, who currently plays Paige Smith in the Australian soap, has been scouted by the same agent that looks after Chris and his brother Liam.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, she said: "I am very, very, very, very lucky, because people go over there [to the States] and work their asses off to find an agent, but these guys came to me.
"We work closely already and they know that I am on a TV show here, but they just want to keep the relationship going until we can do other things."
Valance has already expressed an interest in moving on from Neighbours once her contract comes to an end, but has revealed she would never rule out returning in the future.
She said: "I am very happy with Neighbours - I couldn't have asked for a better job. I am so lucky to be there and I have said to the producers, 'Do not kill me off', because if I ever decide to have a little break away from Neighbours, I want the opportunity to come back.
"As an actor, I definitely want to aspire to new things, but then again I don't want to take from my job that I love.
"I am doing TV and I love soaps, but it would be nice to try something different, I would love to do a movie. LA might be down the line."

Paige ends up on the wrong side of the law when her innocent attempt to help Michelle has criminal repercussions.
Part one of Michelle’s plan has gone off without a hitch, with Paige providing a seemingly bruised Michelle shelter. Now, the crim is pulling Paige (Olympia Valance) further into her web by successfully convincing Paige to buy her a SIM card in Paige’s name.
Next, Michelle (Ra Chapman) suggests Paige also put her name on the lease of an apartment Michelle can stay in and also organise a meeting with Tyler (Travis Burns).
Updating Dimato (David Serafin), Michelle tells him she has to stay in a shelter and he’s frustrated she hasn’t got the apartment yet or let Tyler in on the plan.
Michelle’s suggestion she hook up with Tyler to get him on-side is the final straw for Dimato, who slaps her, which makes her lies about being assaulted seem real. Ready to give up her revenge mission, Michelle pulls herself together. She wins Paige’s sympathy over Dimato’s latest attack and Paige agrees to the lease.
As Paige and Michelle grow closer, things start to unravel when Dimato asks Paul to join him in a business venture. Being the savvy businessman he is, Paul decides to check Dimato’s credentials and is stunned to find stolen goods in the apartment Paige leased for Michelle. Paul turns down a bribe to forget what he’s seen and tells Paige what he’s found.
Paige is horrified when she checks out the apartment and sees the stolen good for herself. Michelle reveals it’s all part of a revenge plan.
After a scuffle, Michelle pins Paige to the ground and calls the police, informing them about the apartment in Paige’s name and the phone with the details of the robbed houses. How will Paige get out of this one?

Paul turns down a bribe to forget what he’s seen
Perhaps Paul has learnt his lesson after all...
Perhaps Paul has learnt his lesson after all...
It's long overdue, but I reckon he's finally realised what he risks losing if he gets into more dodgy deals and I don't mean materialistic things, I mean Amy and Jimmy who are the most important people in his life.
I reckon Amy will work towards forgiving him for what he done to Steph, but give the whole "one more mistake and you won't see Jimmy again" line will be thrown in and he'll want to be so cautious!
Purely speculation here though :p haha

Paige wants to focus on her wedding but she keeps thinking about the mistakes in her past.
On-again off-again loves Paige and Mark have always been opposites. She is a headstrong rebel while he is a responsible police officer dedicated to upholding the law, so when they became housemates, sparks flew. Paige was the first person Mark ever considered moving on with after the tragic death of his fiancee Kate, who was shot dead minutes after Mark proposed.
Now Mark (Scott McGregor) is ready to marry again, worried Paige (Olympia Valance) might suffer a similar fate after she was run down while escaping her kidnapper earlier this year. So he’s keen to have their big day as soon as possible.
What Mark doesn’t know is that Paige has got herself caught up in all sorts of trouble once again. Thinking she was helping Michelle (Ra Chapman) escape Dimato’s (David Serafin) abuse, Paige provided Michelle with a phone and shelter by signing a lease on an apartment in her own name. Later Paige found the apartment full of stolen goods with Michelle framing her as part of a revenge plan.
Now Paige is in a race against time to get rid of the goods before she’s caught for a crime she didn’t commit. As if being a bride isn’t nerve racking enough, Paige is stressed about so much more than saying her vows.
Though Paige considers confessing, she’s worried about what Mark will think. Having formed something of an alliance with Paul (Stefan Dennis) she seeks his and decides to get rid of the stolen goods. When she dumps them in a charity bin Paul warns her that Mark will find out if she tips off the police and her fingerprints will be found. She runs back to the charity bin only to find the goods have disappeared.
There’s no time to look, however, as she has to be at the hens and bucks party but Paige’s mind is clearly elsewhere. Lauren asks an obviously distracted Paige what is wrong but Paige tells her she’s worried Mark will soon find out her true colours. Mark tries to calm Paige too but she lets him think she’s just feeling nervous about the wedding.
Just when you think Paige didn’t already have enough on her plate her grandfather Doug’s alzheimer’s is getting worse and she’s distraught when Doug can’t remember who Mark is. He’s much better the following morning so Paige decides to move the ceremony forward so Doug will be able to enjoy the occasion.
After sending Mark a text to let him know the time change she gets on with her preparations, thinking little of it when he doesn’t reply.
Will Mark and Paige make it down the aisle or will Paige’s past mistakes come back to haunt her?

Will Mark find out what Paige has been up to?
With a wedding to plan, bride-to-be Paige should be focusing on her special day. Instead, she’s desperately trying to dodge being implicated in a crime!
Paige (Olympia Valance) doesn’t want her fiancé, Mark (Scott McGregor) to find out Michelle (Ra Chapman) framed her for having stolen goods.
“She feels absoultely sick in her stomach at the thought of having let him down,” Olympia, 23, says.
Police officier Mark warned Paige about getting involved with Michelle but she didn’t listen.
“The fear of disappointing him outweighs her desire to come clean,” Olympia adds.
Paige thinks if she returns the stolen goods, the whole problem will be fixed but they’ve gone missing and she has no idea where they are!
The young woman tries to pretend everything is fine but is clearly distracted as they celebrate their hens’ and bucks’ party.
Her behaviour puzzles Mark, who wonders if she’s having reservations about the wedding.
Paige assures him it’s just nerves.
“The thought of losing Mark or damaging what they have so close to their wedding, is too much for her to bear,” Olympia says.
However, secrets have a way of coming out and Paige is playing with fire!

Looks like the wedding goes ahead :)

Will Mark dump Paige on their wedding day?
Paige and Mark’s big day is thron into jeopardy when the cop discovers his bride-to-be’s fingerprints all over a stash of stolen goods. Can Paige prove her innocence or could Mark call the whole thing off?
Michelle’s evil plan to frame poor Paige has worked a treat and Brad and Lauren’s daughter is up to her neck in it. With the clock ticking, Paul warns Paige she needs to dispose of the stolen items Michelle planted in the flat before Mark catches her.
Petrified Paige bags the dodgy goods and takes them to the charity shop, only to get busted by Mark! She quickly invents a convincing cover story and is relieved to have washed her hands of the whole thing.
Paige isn’t out of the woods yet... When Paul points out a flaw in her plan, she hurries back to move the bag out of the charity bin, only to find it’s empty! Could things get any worse?
Stressed Paige is forced to cut her search short to attend her hen party but she’s unable to let her hair down and enjoy herself.
Concerned Lauren can see her daughter isn’t in the mood for fun and Paige confides her fear that it’s only a matter of time before her by-the-book fiance finds out exactly what kind of woman he’s marrying.
As the day of the wedding arrives, Paige reckons she might just have got away with the whole thing. She couldn’t be more wrong because down at the cop shop Mark learns that her fingerprints have shown up on stolen goods from the Erinsborough robberies. Oh, no!
Loyal Mark is convinced there’s been some sort of big mix-up but Detective Ellen reveals more disturbing news - that Paige has a second mobile containing very incriminating messages.
Mark is stunned as tough-talking Ellen says she has no choice but to bring Paige in for questiong and still in a state of compelete shock, he agrees. Boo!
Needing some air, Mark goes outside and soon finds himself heading in the direction of the Turner backyard, where innocent Paige is waiting to say ‘I do’ in front of family and friends.
Is Mark about to make this the unhappiest day of her life?
What happens next?
Mark has only moments to decide what he’s going to do...
Going by the pictures which clearly show Mark with a wedding ring, there will be a wedding :)
Very sweet and they make such a lovely couple...the chemistry looks and feels very real between Mark and Paige...
I agree the chemistry in the wedding photos looks real. I also think the on screen chemistry has been much improved since Paige stopped dithering over Tyler and truly committed to Mark.

Paige Smith's wedding could descend into full-blown chaos on Neighbours next month, with the unlucky bride facing possible arrest on her big day.
Paige (Olympia Valance) has recently been caught up in a nightmare situation, with scheming Michelle Kim trying to frame her for being in possession of stolen goods.
Once Paige frantically disposes of the incriminating evidence, she tries her best to concentrate on her upcoming wedding to local cop Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor). Sadly for her, though, the worst is still to come.

Spending some time at the police station in the hours before his wedding, Mark is horrified to learn that damning evidence has been unearthed which links Paige to a spate of robberies.
Mark hears that Paige will be brought in for questioning soon, but he faces an impossible choice between his partner and his career when he's asked for his discretion in the meantime.
An overwhelmed Mark seeks an escape from the station by going for a walk, but he's soon horrified to stumble across his own wedding congregation. Why? Well, it turns out that Paige brought the timing of the ceremony forward slightly and he didn't get the message. Only on Ramsay Street!
Aware that Paige is a wanted woman, Mark knows that he has a major decision to make as everyone is waiting for the ceremony to start. Will the wedding still go ahead?
Digital Spy
I hope it does go ahead... but I don't think its going to :(
Will Paige and Mark’s nuptials finally go ahead?
Now that the day of her wedding has finally arrived, Paige is giddy with excitement.
In Neighbours this week, Paige (Olympia Valance) and Mark (Scott McGregor) are finally ready to tie the knot.
It’s been a long journey to the altar for this on-again, off-again couple but their love for one another runs deep.
“Paige’s feelings for another human have never been as strong as what she feels for Mark,” Olympia says. “He is her person.”
What will happen when police officer Mark learns his bride-to-be has been implicated in a stolen goods heist?
On the day of the nuptials, Paige gets ready for the ceremony surrounded by her closet family and friends.
Her adoptive mum Mary (Gina Liano) has also flown in from overseas to attend the wedding.
“Of course, she wants her mum there, despite what they’ve been through,” Olympia says. “There’s far too much excitement and anticipation in the air to get caught up in mistakes made in the past.”
Paige can’t wait to walk down the aisle and marry Mark, so she text him to say she’s moving the ceremony forward a few hours.
“Paige and Mark’s relationship has faced so many trials and tribulations,” Olympia, 23, admits.
“Through it all, they’ve always managed to find a way back into each other’s arms.”
Paige is glowing when she put on her beautiful wedding dress.
“It’s a mixture of bridal elegance and Paige’s edgy personality,” Olympia says of the dress. This is everything she could have hoped for.”
While Paige gets ready for her big day, Mark ducks into the police station.
He’s shocked when he’s informed by a colleague that Paige’s fingerprints have been detected on some stolen goods from a spate of robberies in Erinsborough.
As viewers would know, Paige was set up by Michelle (Ra Chapman) who is an associate of Dimato’s (David Serafin).
Knowing he’d by upset, Paige didn’t want to tell Mark about her association with Michelle.
“Mark is a striaght shooter,” Olympia says. “Her troublesome ways have come close to ruining their relationship in the past.”
At the station, Mark is troubled by what he’s been told.
“He’s devastated,” Scott, 34, confirms. “He asked Paige to stay away from Michelle.
“Finding these fingerprints and finding out she’s involved is a real kick in the guts.”
Mark feels betrayed and questions his relationship.
“If you’re marrying someone, you don’t want them keeping secrets from you,” Scott says.
Mark tries to come to terms with the suggestion Paige may have been involved.
Meanwhile, Paige has headed to the backyard, ready to exchange vows.
Will Mark turn up for the ceremony or jilt has bride at the altar?

Or they do get married but split immediately after?
Having seen today`s episode shown in Australia we need to wait until tomorrow to find out whether the wedding happens or not :crying:
Anyone else think Brad, Lauren and Paige's anger was directed at the wrong person?
Ok, Paige didn't technically do anything illegal (minus handling stolen goods) but if she had just listened to the 50,000 warnings she got against Michelle she wouldn't be in the mess, or if she had asked help from Mark after she realised what was going on it would have saved a lot of hurt. She constantly lied, hid things and went against advice from most people.
If that was my daughter, I'd be so so so angry with her, I'd stick by her but I'd struggle to give her all the sympathy they were giving her, she made the choices to get the phone, the flat and hide everything once she found out the truth.
After the whole thing with Dimato and Michelle before, she didn't learn any lessons? I'm not against Paige and Mark being together, but I can't blame him for doing what he did.
I reckon if she had went to Mark and said "I've effed up here, I need help." he would have been angry but he still would have stayed with her.
I miss the quirky, creative and fun Paige that was introduced to the show.

I agree 100%, Paige is up to her neck in trouble at all times, Brad and Lauren have both raised kids involved in all sorts of illegal activities, Mason (thief), Bailey (thief), Paige (the list is endless here really),Josh (drug dealer) and Imogen (generally taking the law into her own hands stealing/hiding files at the law office, perverting the course of justice) it's only a matter of time before Amber's baby is in court for something, I give that kid until it's five years old before it is a master criminal.

I sympathised with both Mark and Paige today.
She's been stupid, dismissed his opinion, schemed, and lied repeatedly, so I don't blame him for cancelling the wedding. However, him personally arresting her at the wedding was a terrible thing to do to someone you love. He did it for maximum effect - and it worked! It's a good job they didn't marry because they've got a lot of issues to work through (assuming they get back together).
I don't understand why the writers have turned the initially fun and likeable Paige to such an airhead and irritation. :searchme:

I felt for both of them but felt neither handled it well she shouldn't of lied and she should of went to Mark straight away when she knew she's been set up but his rejection of her and even Tyler the last time as well as how judgemental he is, I can see why she would fear the same again she is incredibly naive. The way he speaks to her like a child isn't something most grown women would tolerate either.
As for him he should of known that she isn't a criminal mastermind and considered there is likely to be an explanation he shouldn't of humiliated her dragging her away under arrest in front of her family and wedding guests when he should of been marrying her that was cruel he was supposed to love her.
She shouldn't of brought up Kate & he seems to have forgotten Kate also lied at times and had her flaws and he's given her a posthumous saint hood status in his mind if he carry's on like that he'll only end up alone.
I hope they get them back together eventually they need their heads knocking together they both deserve each other quite frankly.
Paige and Mark are each feeling fragile. It’s nothing that a trip overseas (for Paige) or a boys’ night out (for Mark) can’t fix... or is it?
Star-crossed lovers Paige and Mark are both dealing with shattered hearts and bruised egos after their wedding was ruined when Mark was forced to arrest Paige at the altar. After being released withouth charge because Paul confirmed Michelle had set Paige up for the robberies, their relationship is shattered by feelings of betrayal.
Paige (Olympia Valance) takes out her frustration on her wedding dress and rips it to shreds despite Mary’s (Gina Liano) advice to be patient. Seeing her daughter’s pain, Mary gives Mark (Scott McGregor) a serve, which embarrasses Paige though a part of her hopes it might make him come around. When Paige doesn’t hear from Mark she decides to get away for a while and leaves for Singapore with Mary just as Mark is ready to talk things through.
Clearly not coping, Mark buries himself in work and struggles to shake off his grumpy mood, which isn’t helped when Paige returns from Singapore looking relaxed. While Mark assumes Paige has moved on, Paige confides in Lauren (Kate Kendall) that all she did during her trip was think about him. After some words of encouragement from Lauren and Aaron (Matt Wilson), Mark and Paige meet outside the police station to exchange their belongings.
Instead of sorting things out they end up arguing about missing items with their fight getting so loud one of Mark’s colleagues is forced to break it up. They are both embarrassed about causing a scene but it’s even more humiliating for Mark who is ordered to take time off to sort out his bad mood.
Kyle (Chris Milligan) and Aaron think a boys’ night out will be the perfect way to help Mark forget his problems. However their wild shenanigans work a little too well when Mark wakes up in a motel the next morning with no memory of the night before. He doesn’t get much help from Kyle and Aaron as they can’t remember anything either.
Olympia Valance, who plays Paige, says partying is Mark’s chance to get some distance from his broken heart. “I think part of it is blocking out the disappointment,” she says. “Also, he is on a bit of an island when it comes to his straitlaced behaviour - all the other guys on the street are up for a bit of fun so if he doesn’t join in, he is on his own.”
Mark spends the day trying to figure out what happened and finds his phone with Karl (Alan Fletcher) because Mark had left it at Off Air. Unfortunately Susan (Jackie Woodburne) ended up receiving Mark’s late night phone calls and a voicemail meant for Paige. Susan urges Mark to tell Paige how he feels but she blindsides him by revealing the proposal was an accident and she wants to move on. Is she serious?
“She is in heaps of emotional pain so there is definitely some self-preservation in that response and I think she knows, there is no going back after what has happened,” explains Valance.
Not wasting any time, Paige feels it’s time to get some direction in her life and with the support of Imogen (Ariel Kaplan) and Lou (Tom Oliver) decides to study a fine arts course at Eden Hills University. Though she starts off confidnetly she makes a gaffe in her first class and is further disheartened by some silly comments from Courtney (Emma Lane).
Outside of class she bumps into Mark. Noticing she’s upset, he gives her the support she needs to give uni another try though he finds it hard to watch her start a new life.
While this bittersweet moment could leave fans wondering if the couple can at least be friends, the tension is set to rise again when Paige angers Mark by disrupting Sonya’s (Eve Morey) debut mayoral speech to protest against tree removal.

Paige attacks love rival Steph!
The fur flies this fortnight when Paige and Steph come to blows over Mark Brennan. Who can blame them when he looks that good?!
Steph is feeling anxious when estranged son Charlie comes to see her. The visit is a huge success as mother and son build bridges and Mark offers to take Charlie for a spin in his cop car.
Touched by Mark’s kindness, Steph is tempted once again by the easy-on-the-eye police officer following their recent cheeky song. So when she pops round to say thank you, Ms Scully makes her move and is delighted when muscly Mark kisses her back.
Following an afternoon spent doing you-know-what, Mark is unsure where he stands, while Steph is worried that her previous relationship with Belinda might be an issue.
There’s another obstacle standing in the couple’s way - in the shape of Mark’s former fiancée, Paige!
Having already spotted the pair playing at happy families the day before with Charlie, peeved Paige gives her ex a piece of her mind.
She tells Mark that Steph is using him to regain custody of her son. (wow - that is a bit harsh!)
With Paige’s warning on his mind, Mark confronts Steph and the couple agree to remain strictly as mates. Can they keep their hands off one another? As if!
Elsewhere, jealous Paige is still stewing about the possibility of Mark getting with another girl. Doesn’t she know that things move fast in Soapland? When Sheila tries to calm her down, it ends up backfiring spectacularly!
After seeing Steph and Mark playing darts in The Waterhole, spiteful Paige once again informs Mark that the Scully mum is just using him. Oh, change the record, luv! He obviously isn’t listening to what you have to say!
Refusing to be bad-mouthed in her own local, angry Steph then confronts Paige to put her in her place. This is going to get nasty!
Unsurprisingly, their war of words escalates and soon the girls are engaged in a full-on cat fight. Peacemaker Sheila even has to step in to separate the pair!
The next morning, Paige wakses up feeling awful about what she did and rushes over to Steph’s to try to make amends. She is left heartbroken when she arrives to find that Mark has stayed the night in Steph’s bed! Has Paige lost the buff Brennan for good?

I think Tyler wouldn't touch her with a barge pole now since she and Mark split .... she is such a miserable moo. Keeps on at others not having fun, but where is the fun in her. She is always jumping to conclusions which result mainly in her own jealousies and upsetting others with her nasty attitude when things don't go her way, there is always a sarcastic dig at others in her comments.

One of the biggest names in Neighbours history could be set to return to the soap, if her family is to be believed.
Paige Novak star Olympia Valance has revealed her half-sister Holly Valance may welcome a return to the soap in the future.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Olympia said: "Holly isn't completely against doing it. Our characters aren't related in any way, but Steph Scully is on the show. Who knows, it could happen."
She added: "I know Holly is busy with her baby at the moment but it would be amazing if she did a couple of episodes."
Nothing has been confirmed yet, but wouldn't it be great to see both Valance sisters together on Ramsay Street?
Holly Valance famously played Felicity Scully on the soap between 1999 and 2002. She went on to have a successful pop career, as well as starring in the likes of Taken, Prison Break and Strictly Come Dancing.

I think Steph and Mark do have chemistry, and he seems more laid back and relaxed around her. The age difference between them is about the same as that between Mark and Paige - perhaps even a bit less - so she's not too old for him.

The age gap between Steph and Mark is about 4 or 5 years. Mark is about 33/34 and Steph is 37/38.
Paige is 21.

Mark and Paige had no chemistry at all. It was all so forced & awkward. They have nothing in common. Mark wants kids, Paige doesn't want kids.
Paige lied to Mark over, over & over again. She got involved in criminal activity and still lied to Mark that she wasn't involved. He told her to stay away from Michelle and she didn't listen. Then when she found out she was set up, she turned to Paul for help and didn't tell Mark what Michelle did.
Paige is immature. She proved that by dumping Mark's belonging on the floor outside the station. It was partly Paige's fault that Mark had to take time off work, as she started the argument. She then started a fight with Steph. Mark finally realised how immature Paige is. Paige used both Mark and Tyler. Last year she used Tyler to get out of lunch with Toadie & Sonya and told mark she had a big order on at work. Paige didn't LOVE Mark. She told Lauren that Mark was the safe option. Paige doesn't want safe. She wants to have fun. She is 21. The whole proposal was a lie. She should have told Mark the truth in the first place and broke up with him like she was planning on doing.
Mark and Steph are quite fun together. They have things in common. Both ride bikes. Which Paige doesn't.
A lot of hard work went into producing some of the most dramatic scenes Neighbours has ever had for the Lassiters explosion. Olympia Valance, who stars as Paige, tells TV Soap what it was like.
What stunts and effects were involved in filming your scenes during the explosion?
It’s always a lot of fun filming huge scenes like these because they’re very different to the usual goings on in Erinsbrough! Safety is extremely important to make sure no one actually gets hurt. We have a number of stunt doubles and safety supervisors who ensure all the proper precautions are being taken. I have to give a special mention to the art department - they made each set look absolutely incredible - it truly felt as if we had been caught up in a real-life explosion.
How did working on the explosion scenes compare to your past storylines?
Paige has managed to get herself caught up in a couple of catastrophes, the other major one being the school fire, which happened last year. My scenes during the fire were solely in an elevator with Travis Burns (Tyler), so we were a bit isolated from the rest of the action. This time, I was well and truly caught up in the middle of it.
What do you enjoy about doing these more action-packed storylines?
Storylines like this force you out of you comfort zone. I had to put a lot more time and effort into preparing these scenes and as a result I felt myself grow as an actor. I walked away from the two weeks of filming and was proud of the work I’d done - I’m super excited to see it play out on air.
Can you describe how Lassiters looked after it had been transformed for the explosion?
It looked like an absolute mess! The art department did an incredible job. When we walked onto set fro the first time we were shocked by the transformation. There was a lot of debris, dust, collapsing concrete and loose wires. The inner workings and structures of Lassiters were literally blown apart!
What did you learn as an actor while filming this storyline?
It was emotionally exhausting. I went home every night and basically collapsed into bed! It was very taxing on my body and pulling that level of emotion out of you for hours and hours at a time, day in, day out, really drains you. I learnt how important it is to look after yourself outside of filming - I tried to keep up my training and was eaiting really well. Your body is going through a lot, so you have to do what you can to help it out.
A few of the characters lives are hanging in the balance. Were you emotional about the possibility of cast mates leaving?
Of course! It’s like farewelling a member of your family! We are all very close. We spend up to 12 hours a day together, either on set of in the green room. Everyone is always emotional when there’s the chance that someone could be leaving.
How do you think fans will react to the explosion and it’s aftermath?
It’s all pretty shocking and devastating! Fans will be on the edge of their seats the entire time. This is the best week of television Neighbours has ever put to air. It’s going to change the Ramsay Street residents’ lives forever.

Can we put in a request for Paige to be killed off? :p
Paige and Mark do not get back together. John Doe is Paige's new love interest.

Mark is better off with Paige. He needs a woman not an immature child.
Well, maybe John Doe ends up being the new love interest but you never know, they may find each other again! :D
I haven't seen any chemistry between Mark and Paige for a long time
Him and Steph seems to have come out of nowhere
I know what you mean by lack of chemistry recently but they were a much hotter couple lol. Just freaks me out a bit that he is with Steph lol...
And like you say, very sudden, considering he was still so in love with Paige... Apparently!
Of course Steph would be so selfish as to not tell Mark that Paige wanted him back when she came to visit her to apologise then caught them out... Although I don't blame Steph cause Mark is a hottie! LOL.

it is possible she has become even more annoying and selfish with john doe
Neighbours star Olympia Valance: 'I begged the producers not to kill me off'
And they're happy to keep her character alive.
Olympia Valance may want to take a break or two from Neighbours, but she has no intentions of leaving the show for good.She's explored other work in films and modelling, but she always wants her character Paige Smith to be able to head back to Erinsborough.
"I begged the producers not to kill me and they've promised not to," Olympia told The Herald Sun.
"I've always said I might want a little break... or go away for a few months, but God, please don't take away my character because I might want to come back."
In December 2014, Olympia became the face of lingerie brand Gossardand has since fronted several campaigns for the company.
In January this year, she signed with the same Hollywood agent who looks after Chris Hemsworth and his brother Liam.
"I am very, very, very, very lucky, because people go over there and work their asses off to find an agent, but these guys came to me," she said at the time.
"We work closely already and they know that I am on a TV show here, but they just want to keep the relationship going until we can do other things."

People often go before their contracts end. Daniel certainly hasn't been in Neighbours for 3 years! Just haven't seen Olympia announce anything definite anywhere.

Tim (Daniel) didn't have a 3 year contract. He had two 1 years contracts.

Whatever, Daniel still went too early. I think Imogen and Josh left a bit early. They leave to tie in with stories. May be the same for some others too.

Do you have a source for this?
I'm sure I read it somewhere when I was researching Tim's departure last week. I have a source confirming that initially Tim was given 12 months contract and his first on-screen scene was on my birthday in 2014 :)
You can read post #12 on Daniel's spoilers posted by Perdita in March 2015. Tim says there that he didn't think that he still would be at Neighbours for its 30th Anniversary and at the end of that post he says that he will definitely stay at Neighbours for another year. (Which kind of confirms that he was given another 1 year contract) but Tim was happy to stay another year after that or even longer. He said it a few times in 2015 that he would be happy to stay a long term on Neighbours. It seems that in 2014 he didn't plan to stay longer but he later changed his mind and was happy to stay 'forever' ;)
Do you want me to find the exact source to confirm that or are you happy with what Peridita posted at #12. I think it is from Digital Spy but I couldn't see it clearly that's just my guess.
Below is one of the many sources which confirm that he was given initially 12 months contract:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/04/18/neighbours-pulls-homesick-actor-home
Whatever, Daniel still went too early. I think Imogen and Josh left a bit early. They leave to tie in with stories. May be the same for some others too.
Probably you are right in some situations it is the case. But the actors who played Imogen and Josh had 3 years contracts and they stayed 3 years. Daniel (Tim) had two 1 years contracts and he left as he hasn't been given further contract.
I agree with you that it would be nice to watch all of them longer. Last year it was very sad not to watch Naomi longer. If I remember right it was her decision to leave the show. Not sure what her contract situation was.
I read somewhere here that the young actors usually are given 3 years contracts to bond them for that time. And later the young actors usually try their luck overseas.
Neighbours airs a shock accident for Paige Smith later this month as she's knocked unconscious while boxing.
Paige (Olympia Valance) is trying to take her mind off her complicated love life when things go badly wrong for her.
Upcoming Neighbours episodes will see Paige left devastated when Father Jack Callahan chooses the church over her, which leads to her going on the rebound by sleeping with Tyler Brennan.
Needing an escape from so much drama, Paige decides to do some good by lending her punching bag to the Outreach programme - much to the delight of Jack.

Paige's mum Lauren can see that she's deliberately trying to put herself in Jack's orbit again and urges her to keep her distance, but her warnings fall on deaf ears.
When Paige later spots a shirtless Jack sparring with his friend Dustin Oliver, she's once again confronted by her attraction to Jack and decides to take out her frustrations by taking his place in the ring.
It doesn't take long before Paige's involvement ends very badly as a punch knocks her out cold, but as a horrified Jack watches on, could this make him realise how deeply he feels for her?

I think it was totally negligent of Aaron to set her up with a fight for which she's completely ill-equipped. Who sets a newbie up with an experienced boxer? :wall: And why was Piper blaming Paige for losing Aaron the money if she pulled out? It's completely his fault in my opinion.
Now it looks like the fight's going ahead, I just hope we don't get the totally unrealistic scenario of Paige winning it.

Neighbours star Olympia Valance enters talks to extend her contract
Olympia Valance is contracted to appear in Neighbours until early next year, but she is hoping to stay on Ramsay Street for a little while longer.
The Herald Sun reports that Valance has asked producers to extend her contract by another six to eight months, meaning she could be on screen until at least early 2018.
"I love my job and I don't feel ready to leave just yet and they were happy to have me for a bit longer," the actress said.
Although she wants to carry on playing the role of Paige Smith in the popular Aussie soap, it has been reported that she's been filming pilot projects in London.
"The pilot was called Ghetto Heaven and was unlike anything I have done with Neighbours," she said.
"It was gritty, it was dirty, I was really nervous about going over there and doing it because I have never done anything like it before, but it turned out to be amazing and I was surprised at my ability."
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/news/a810478/neighbours-star-olympia-valance-enters-talks-to-extend-her-contract/

2017 is off to a rather complicated start for Neighbours favourite Paige Smith as she struggles to process the bombshell that she is expecting Jack Callahan's baby.
Paige (Olympia Valance) had an illicit one-night stand with her on-off priest lover Jack last year, but neither of them considered the repercussions to be quite so life-changing.
The closing moments of December's season finale saw Paige take a positive pregnancy test and the story will be picked up when Neighbours returns to our screens next week.

Paige Smith looks through Simone Bader's things in Neighbours
© CHANNEL 5
When a further hospital examination confirms that Paige is definitely expecting, she is thrown into the dilemma of whether or not to come clean with Jack - but the promo seems to indicate that she decides against it.
Paige appears adamant that her pregnancy has nothing to do with Jack, who has made it unequivocally clear that the church is his priority - not his love life.
When Jack gets wind of the situation, he confronts Paige over whether the baby is his, but will she tell him the truth? Or will she continue to keep him in the dark?

I hope she makes him suffer... the weirdo bedded her in a shed on the day she nearly died and was in trauma, he couldnt of picked an easier day to have sex wirh a women. Then after he has had what he wanted he is doing the priest act again, lets be clear, when he bedded the lady he ripped off his dog collar so Paige cannot be blamed.
To now doubt the paternity of the baby is beyond crass, by even doing so is admitting he broke his vows.

I think Paige wants him to find out, why else is she staying around, she could go see her adoptive parents or other half siblings, she loves him and is still pining for them and baby to be a family, she is her mother's daughter
I can't wait to see how he acts high handed and superior to Paige when he is the baby-daddy! Wonder what the church authorities will have to say to him, bad priest points - he broke the vow of celibacy, and fornication outside of marriage, good priest points - no contraception, it could be a close call on promotion to Pope! :rotfl:
If he stays true to form he'll get in a bit of slut shaming for good measure just to ensure Paige has no doubt of his moral superiority... :wall:

I'm sure you're right, although for the moment she seems to have accepted she'll never have him. In any case, it would be hard for her to move away from her parents when she's pregnant and alone and needs them the most.

She did her best to break up Brad and Laurens marriage to their respective partners to complete "her own" family ..... like with Jack ... she will make him pay in her own way, even if she gets him back .... it wont be happy ever after, she is too selfish.
Like wise with Brad and Lauren .. it was a quick bunk-up in a boat shed ... a minute wonder, there was no long term pining on Brads side, he was already with someone else. The story line as some long lost love is totally not how the original story line run (I do remember as well ...... yes, I am that old). :crying:

Daily Telegraph article this morning:
Neighbours star Olympia Valance discovers the greatest contraception ever.
THERE should be little doubt about Olympia Valance’s commitment to her craft.
Playing pregnant Paige Smith on Neighbours, the 24-year-old goes into labour on the Channel 10 soap this week — and in true Ramsay Street style, it’s no ordinary delivery, with the single mother finding herself alone in an isolated farming shed, just as her water breaks.
Valance tells News Corp Australia, it was no ordinary day of filming either, with the young actor pushing through a 12-hour “labour.”
“I was pushing all day long, from six in the morning, to six at night. There was one point, I was pushing so hard I almost fainted,” she says.
Warned her unborn was in the breach position, there was added drama for both mother and child — before Dr Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) and her baby daddy, priest Father Jack (Andrew Morley) can rush to her side.

http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/b9aace457b551a1765d2237ba229bb4b?width=650
After researching the complications associated with a breech birth, what’s not in danger, Valance confirms, is any chance she’ll be rushing out to get pregnant in real life.
“I reckon I watched about three hours of home birth videos and oh, my god ... it was the greatest contraception ever, 100 per cent,” she laughs.
Besides being “completely frightened out of wanting to have a baby,” Valance has her sights set firmly on an international career — presenting a different dilemma for the young star.
Now in her fourth year on the soap series, the Logie-nominated actor admits she’s edging closer to cutting the cord and leaving her TV family for new work opportunities in either London or Los Angeles.
http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/7fad6207be84fdfc20feeab1b8f61a11?width=650
Her endorsement deal with Gossard lingerie takes her to the UK capital regularly, allowing time too for her to visit with half-sister and former Neighbours star, Holly, who lives between London and Los Angeles with her entrepreneur husband Nick Candy and their toddler daughter, Luca.
Signed to the same US management agency, Roar, as the Hemsworth brothers, there are also doors set to open for her there.
And yet, Valance — loyal to where she got her acting start — is torn about leaving her Neighbours and FremantleMedia family behind.
“A lot of people don’t get this opportunity, so I feel very lucky and very blessed to have been given this chance. To go and throw it away for the unknown ... it’s going to be really hard because I’ve loved the cast, I love the crew.”
Her departure is already causing anxiety on the close-knit set, Valance admits.
“The make-up artist said to me this morning that Eve Morley [who plays Sonia Rebecchi] had said something like, ‘it’s going to be emotional to see Olympia go ...’ and I started tearing up, that’s how emotional I get. If I do go, it will be one of the hardest decisions I’ll ever have to make,” she says.
She plans to use the show’s end of year production break this year to spend a month in Los Angeles, trying her luck during pilot season. But she’s pleaded with producers not to kill her character off.
“Even if I decide not to sign on for another season, I want to come back and forth for cameos. It would never be the end of Paige.”
And, of course, the DailyMail article:
[B]'It's going to be really hard to throw it away': Olympia Valance reveals plans to leave Neighbours for opportunities 'in either London or LA'
Neighbours star Olympia Valance has announced plans to leave Australia to chase acting and modelling opportunities in 'either London or Los Angeles.'
The 24-year-old told The Sunday Telegraph's TV Guide she will follow in sister Holly's footsteps by risking regular TV work for a shot at stardom.
'I feel very lucky and very blessed to have been given this chance,' said the Melbourne-born lingerie model.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/05/28/01/40DF7FFF00000578-4548814-image-m-2_1495929847101.jpg
After four years on Neighbours, including a current on-screen pregnancy, Olympia revealed her departure was imminent.
The brunette actress insisted she was never going to lose sight of the rare opportunity she had been given.
'A lot of people don't get this opportunity, so I feel very lucky and very blessed to have been given this chance,' she said.
'To go throw it away for the unknown... it's going to be really hard because I've loved the cast, I love the crew.
Such is the extent of Olympia's affection for her TV family, she confessed to feeling hesitant about leaving.
She confessed: 'If I do go, It will be the hardest decision I'll ever had to make.'
Olympia's older half-sister Holly, 34, also left Neighbours to pursue stardom in 2003.
Unlike her sister, however, Olympia does not appear to have plans for a music career.
Olympia revealed she will use the TV soap's end-of-year break to spend four weeks in Los Angeles.
It's the perfect timing being 'pilot season' as major networks are looking for new talent to fill roles on potential series.
In 2014, Olympia became an ambassador for UK lingerie brand Gossard, and last year she signed a deal with LA management agency Roar.
Roar also manages fellow Australian actors Chris and Liam Hemsworth.

Neighbours: Paige and Mark's shock kiss to be revealed in flashback
But is a romance with Elly also on the cards for the cute cop?
http://images.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Neighbours__Paige_and_Mark_s_shock_kiss_to_be_reve aled_in_flashback.jpg?quality=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/141431.b5e738bc-a03e-4de1-9312-0ae317ae8875.jpg
Neighbours is setting up a potential love triangle in the coming weeks as it's revealed Mark Brennan and ex-girlfriend Paige Smith shared a secret kiss recently, but any hope of a romantic reunion for the pair is threatened as Mark starts spending more time with Elly Conway.
Next Monday, the root of the recent tension between the former lovers is explained when it emerges Mark visited Paige during her trip away from Erinsborough to Queensland - and events took an unexpected turn.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/141499.8e4f6995-16c7-449f-a812-e257048db46e.jpg
The old flames had a big heart-to-heart and discussed their relationship and the different directions life had taken them - caught up in the moment, Mark and Paige ended up kissing...
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/141500.8a5ac4e1-2760-47b3-830a-2df923a88321.jpg
Back in present day Ramsay Street, Paige is trying her hardest to forget it ever happened and is preparing for her birthday party. The celebrations turn into an emotional roller coaster for the new mum when baby daddy Jack Callahan admits he still has feelings for her - only to be rejected by his ex, who reminds him he chose the church over her and it was the birth of their son Gabe, not his love for Paige, that made him ditch dog collar.
Jack is crushed, but Paige then gets another declaration of love from Mark who can't shake the Queensland kiss. Telling him it's too soon after losing Caitlin, not to mention all the weirdness with Sonya Rebecchi, Paige insists they are better off as friends. But is that what they both really want?
Later in the week, Elly quizzes Paige if she regrets how things ended with Mark, but Paige insists it's all in the past. Offering her friend a wine tasting voucher at a vineyard she's unable to use herself, Elly asks Mark to accompany her - and try as she might, Paige can't conceal a tinge of jealousy.
http://www.radiotimes.com/uploads/images/original/141502.85cd1c6a-f966-4ffe-bb67-3433793e8898.jpg
Elly and Mark have a top day at the vineyard and it's obvious they've got chemistry (or it could just be the wine talking...), but will they act on it? And is Paige destined to be alone?
Neighbours airs these scenes next week from Monday 3-Thursday 6 July, and continues weekdays on Channel 5 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm

Apparently Andrew Morley is staying until 2019-unless he’s being axed before the end of his contract, which would be a pity as there’s so much more they could do with Jack. It’s sad about Paige though, I’ve actually become really fond of her character since Brad and Lauren left.

Well they did force the actor who played Daniel to leave so he and Imogen could have a happy ending. Won't happen this time as Jack and Paige are no more. Also means Paige and Mark break up - again.

That’s what I’m wondering, and she’ll probably take Gabe which isn’t great for Jack. Also, something must happen to break her and Mark up shortly before she leaves (they are still together in episodes currently being filmed). Maybe she leaves due to the break-up.

The Daily Telegraph posted this article in today's newspaper. It says that Olympia Valance's stepdad, Aussie rock legend Ross Wilson (who remembers the song 'Eagle Rock'?) will be making a cameo appearance on Neighbours. The article also mentions that Olympia has finished filming on Neighbours. This has spawned a couple of other articles on other sites saying that she is leaving:
Daily Telegraph article:
Rocking Into Ramsay Street.
Rock legend Ross Wilson has made a cameo appearance in Neighbours alongside Ramsay Street favourite and real life stepdaughter Olympia Valance.
"My acting was better than expected, apparently," Wilson told Confidential. "I've been in a few Z-grade movies with some mind-numbing lines, but Neighbours was a lot of fun."
Wilson, of Daddy Cool, Mondo Rock and solo career fame, plays himself in the popular Ten Soap. The episode, filmed this week, will air in March 2018.
It also marked Valance's last week of filming on Ramsay St. She is leaving the show to pursue overseas opportunities.

She's made no secret of her desire to forge an acting career overseas.
And after months of speculation Olympia Valance has finally left Neighbours, with News Corp reporting she has wrapped up filming on the soap this week.
The 24-year-old, who is the younger half sister of Neighbours star Holly Valance, has appeared on the soap for three years.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/11/30/19/46D8D0CE00000578-5133931-image-a-1_1512071082905.jpg
The newspaper reported that Olympia, who plays Paige Smith, had finished filming on Ramsay Street this week.
The lingerie model was 'leaving the show to pursue overseas opportunities', the publication claimed.
Olympia has made no secret of her ambitions to work in Tinseltown, signing to Chris and Liam Hemsworth's Hollywood agents, Roar Management, in 2015.

'I am very, very, very, very lucky, because people go over there and work their asses off to find an agent, but these guys came to me. I was very lucky,' she told Fairfax Media in 2016.
'We work closely already and they know that I am on a TV show here, but they just want to keep the relationship going until we can do other things.'
*Meanwhile also this week rock legend Ross Wilson is making history, joining the long list of celebrity singer cameos on Neighbours.

https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/47d47ee85f1a54d4c294619fa082f887?width=1024
NEIGHBOURS star Olympia Valance is relocating to Los Angeles for Hollywood’s so-called pilot season.
Valance, who played Ramsay St resident Paige Smith, filmed her last scenes in the popular Channel 10 soap last week.
Her stepfather, legendary rocker Ross Wilson, made a cameo appearance in one of her final scenes.
Wilson said Valance was leaving the show to pursue television and film opportunities, with her first stop in LA in late January.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/ab9c53a81af6e38c96b9396a1c4cfedf?width=650
“It’s an emotional week for her,” Wilson said. “I know there will be a few speeches and a lot of tears.”
Wilson said it was a “big move” for Valance to move her career abroad, but added she felt it was “time to move on.”
“Olympia, and my wife Tania, her mother, are going to LA in January, with management waiting with open arms,” Wilson said. “I know she will do really well.”
Pilot season is when US networks commission new shows, which are either picked up or shelved.
Valance is signed to US management agency, Roar, which also represents Chris, Liam and Luke Hemsworth.
“I feel very lucky and very blessed to have been given this chance,” Valance said.
Meanwhile, she pleaded with Neighbours producers not to kill off Paige Smith, so she can make a return visit to Erinsborough in future.
Valance also filmed a gritty new drama Ghetto Heaven in Britain earlier this year.

I think it will only be her and Gabe leaving as well. Andrew Morley said Jack and Paige don’t get a happy ending. I don’t think they’d have them leave as just friends, if Andrew was leaving surely they’d want to give “Jaige” shippers what they want. Andrew describes Paige’s exit as a very sad and emotional moment for a lot of people. The picture I’ve seen of it shows Paige, Elly, Amy, Piper and Jack (can’t tell whether he’s leaving or just saying goodbye). Can’t see Gabe. None of them look that emotional to me 😀

Yeah and if they were booting Andrew off, or if he’d decided to leave, I reckon they’d do a whole different storyline. My theory is that they’ve written this cheating storyline to make things end up with a believable reason why Paige would take Gabe away from Jack, without him leaving as well. I think she’ll realise what a massive mess the whole Jack/Mark thing is and will leave on her own to sort her head out.

Neighbours confirms sad return storyline for Paige Smith and Jack Callahan
The couple are on the rocks.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30950549/neighbours-spoilers-paige-smith-jack-callahan-return/
Neighbours will reveal that Paige Smith and Jack Callahan's relationship is on the rocks as they return to the show next week.
The couple, who were last seen in 2018 when they left Erinsborough together, are the latest characters heading back to Ramsay Street ahead of Neighbours' 35th anniversary celebrations next month.
Paige (Olympia Valance) is the first to reappear, surprising her family by turning up at the Willis house unannounced.
There's immediate tension between Paige and Roxy (Zima Anderson), but Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) can tell that there's more to Paige's visit than she's letting on.
Terese's compassionate approach helps her to uncover the truth behind Paige's sudden arrival, as it turns out that her relationship with Jack (Andrew Morley) is on the rocks.
Paige isn't sure they'll make it through, but after Terese pulls some strings, Jack follows his partner back to Erinsborough so they can talk properly.
Still fearing the worst, Paige is a mess as she awaits Jack's arrival and dreads what he might have to say to her.
Jack turns up with a heavy heart, but before he gets a chance to see Paige, he meets up with a fellow ex-local – Mark Gottlieb (Bruce Samazan).
The unlikely duo already know each other and Mark is on hand to offer Jack some advice as they chat candidly at the coffee shop.
Later, Paige continues to confide in Terese and expresses her fears that Jack may have had an affair.
Before long, Paige interrupts Jack's cosy heart-to-heart with Mark at the coffee shop and demands an explanation. Will she get the wrong idea over what has been going on? What is Jack hiding from Paige?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 24, Tuesday, February 25 and Wednesday, February 26 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Gottlieb_(Neighbours)#Religious_views
but it also sounds like he might have abandoned his faith after the coma, at least that's how I read 'comes to his senses'. But it probably is through the priesthood, or the congregation/administration at the church Jack went to.

Neighbours to revisit Paige Smith and Mark Brennan's relationship as they face big decisions
Could they still reunite?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a31064543/neighbours-spoilers-paige-mark-relationship-revisited/
Neighbours revisits Paige Smith's romantic chemistry with her ex-fiancé Mark Brennan next week.
The show gives fans fresh hope that Paige (Olympia Valance) could have a happy ending with Mark after she splits from her current partner Jack Callahan.
This week's episodes see Paige and Jack (Andrew Morley) both return to Erinsborough, with their relationship sadly on the rocks.
Although Paige still holds out some hope of sorting things out, the scenes ultimately lead to her splitting from Jack.
Next week, newly-single Paige tries to help out Terese Willis, who's trying to increase ticket sales for Lassiters' wedding expo.
Terese decides to have people dressed as brides handing out flyers, so Paige cancels a planned catch-up with Mark (Scott McGregor) in order to pitch in.
Chloe Brennan has also arranged for Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) to get involved, so there's a potentially awkward reunion for Mark's ex-brides at the complex. How will Mark react when he sees both of his former partners in their wedding dresses?
Later in the week, Mark's sister Chloe and brother Aaron try to play matchmaker by suggesting that he should spend some more time with Paige.
Mark isn't convinced that it's a good idea, pointing out that Paige has only just split from Jack and doesn't even live in the same state as him.
Despite this, Aaron continues his meddling by letting Paige know exactly where and when Mark will be having a drink, just in case she wants to drop by.
The next day, Mark is called back to work in Adelaide and is disappointed to be leaving Erinsborough so soon.
Mark invites Paige to his farewell meal at The Waterhole. She has plans with Elly, but suggests that she might come by afterwards.
When Paige fails to show up, David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) seeks her out and asks why she avoided Mark. Opening up to her friend, Paige shares a surprising revelation. What does it mean for her possible future with Mark?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, March 2, Tuesday, March 3 and Wednesday, March 4 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Good news Mark and Paige have good chemistry. I wonder if Paige is pregnant? Anyway if they do get back together lets hope Mark doesn't arrest her again on their wedding day:)
Mark would never be with her while she’s pregnant. Especially so soon after her breaking it off with Jack (who I assume is the father). It’s gotta be something else.
I think Jack might propose to paige that's why his been so distant
When Paige fails to show up, David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) seeks her out and asks why she avoided Mark. Opening up to her friend, Paige shares a surprising revelation. What does it mean for her possible future with Mark?[/[I]I]
Maybe Paige has discovered that Gabe is indeed Marks baby.

unrelated to Neighbours but in today's Better Call Saul (season 5, episode 6) there is a character in the Mesa Verde team called Paige Novak. I got a little kick out of that.

A Greek community newspaper based in Melbourne, Neos Kosmos, has reported that Olympia Valance will return for the finale episodes of Neighbours. Olympia also shared the news on her own Instagram story:

Olympia Valance to return as Paige Smith for Neighbours finale
In a Neos Kosmos exclusive, the Greek Australian breaks the news of joining the last ever episodes of Neighbours among a team of ?favourites from the past?, including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. No spoilers on Paige Smith?s final moves in Erinsborough, sorry! But Valance does reveal where she will be honeymooning soon with fianc? Thomas Bellchambers.
https://neoskosmos.com/en/2022/05/04/life/entertainment/olympia-valance-to-return-as-paige-smith-for-neighbours-finale/?fbclid=IwAR1ObOsA-Hf3ZPJ7khYlyG38np50V2784EclB4cGxqjvfctRvmL299wGoeE
As much as the bombshell news dropped in February about ?Neighbours? left fans disappointed, farewelling Australia?s longest-running soap calls for a worthy send off.
Neos Kosmos can now reveal that Olympia Valance is among the ?favourites from the past? selected by Network 10 to return to Ramsay for an on-air celebration.
Confirmation of Paige Smith?s comeback for the series finale comes just days after iconic TV couple Scott and Charlene (played by Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue) were announced to return.
?We are delighted to have Olympia join us for the celebrations, she is a much-loved cast member and character, and always brings a wonderful energy to the set. Paige Smith has an edge to her that is guaranteed to shake up things ? stand by, ? Neighbours Executive Producer, Jason Herbsion, said.
Since Valance first became a Ramsay St resident in 2014, much has changed both in fictional Erinsborough?s makeup and off screen.
Last time she appeared on the show was in its 35th anniversary in 2020.

But joining the season?s finale is much more than a guest stint for the actress; rather a homecoming.
?Neighbours has always felt like home to me. It was my first acting job, and it taught me so much. There is a reason why everyone refers to Neighbours as the best training ground in the world,? Valance tells Neos Kosmos.
Indeed, the show has the reputation of a stomping ground for Aussie talent across the industry, including Russell Crowe and Delta Goodrem.
Coming on board the cast was not a walk in the park, though. Then 21-year-old Valance had revealed in an interview shortly after landing the role that it took no less than four nerve-breaking auditions.
Asked to reflect on those times now, she says:
?Not only did Neighbours become my first acting gig, it was also my first audition ever, so I had no idea what to expect.
?I didn?t know how many call backs were considered normal, or how many other actors I was up against to get the part, it was a completely foreign experience for me. I decided to just give it all that I had, a real ?you have to be in it to win it? mentality.?
Valance knows the industry can be ?very tough, if you don?t have a thick skin?, but in hindsight the one thing she would tell her younger self ? and share with anyone entering the industry ? would be to ?give every opportunity that is placed in front of you everything that you?ve got. And if the cards don?t land in your favour, then remember not to take it too personally.?
From the opening scene in 1985, Neighbours has gained the hearts of viewers Down Under and overseas spanning different generations.
And before filming wraps up in June, producers are promising the last round of episodes ? with the very final one, the 8,903rd, set to air on 1 August ? will ?have something for everyone? with current cast joined by ?the most memorable characters from across many eras?.
Paige Smith couldn?t be absent from the party.
?Paige has shifted and grown so much since audiences were first introduced to her in 2014. She found her way back to her family, she became a mum, and last time audiences saw her on screen she finally got married to the love of her life. ? says Valance.
Asked for exclusive spoilers, sorry but she ?can?t say a word!?
?All I can confirm is that Paige is coming back.
?I think a lot of care and attention has been put into these final episodes of Neighbours. They really are a dedication to the fans, so I think everyone will be very happy.?
End of an era for a show that kept company to Aussies in their living rooms for the last 37 years.
Valance?s thoughts?
?I feel like I grew up on Neighbours, so it?s incredibly sad to be saying goodbye permanently.?

?[?]it?s incredibly special to step back into the shoes of Paige as Australia farewells it?s most iconic television program. I still can?t believe it is coming to an end.?
Thankfully for the Greek Australian actress, there are more big things to look forward to during the year.
?Thomas [Bellchambers] and I are about to get married, so that is the most exciting part of 2022 for me! We?re then heading on an extended honeymoon to Greece which I just can?t wait for[?] If there is one thing these past few years have taught us, it?s to take any and every chance you have to travel and celebrate, so that?s exactly what we?re planning on doing.?
Valance states with no hesitation that Greece is her ?favourite place in the world.?
We can?t blame her. It couldn?t have been otherwise for the granddaughter of Neos Kosmos founder.

Not a spoiler, but for any Olympia/Paige fans.

Neighbours? Olympia Valance has welcomed her first baby after years of infertility struggles
?My miracle baby?.
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/olympia-valance-baby/
Trigger Warning: This article discusses pregnancy loss.
Olympia Valance has welcomed her first child with husband Thomas Bellchambers!
The pair took to Instagram in December to share their big milestone moment, and to reveal the bubs name.
?Billy Bellchambers,? they shared, before revealing his birth date: ?03?12?2024?.
The lovebirds first revealed Olympia?s pregnancy on August 17.
?I?ve been hiding away for the past 5 and a half months to make sure this wasn?t all a dream. But you kept growing and growing and it?s starting to look like our dreams have finally come true,? Olympia wrote in her Instagram caption.
?I?ve been as open and honest as I could about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed that this day wasn?t going to be possible for us. So when I saw this positive pregnancy test I have to admit, at the time, I wasn?t jumping for joy. I was full of fear because that?s all I?ve known. But as the weeks kept going by it was hard to wipe the smile off our faces.
?To the little one we never thought we?d meet, we can?t wait to hold you in our arms. You were worth every tear, every setback, and every prayer.?
Former Neighbours star Olympia and former AFL player Thomas have been extremely open and honest about their struggle with infertility, and the heartbreaking pregnancy losses they have endured.
?I did get pregnant the first couple of times that I did IVF, but I couldn?t hold them,? Olympia said on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About.
?I was looking at life without a baby. I was trying to protect myself. I was saying to my husband, ?Will this just be enough? You and I?? And he?s like, ?Absolutely.? And I?m like, ?Great, it?s enough for me, too.? We were really happy. I needed a bloody break.
?I wanted to live my life. It?s been four years of just thinking about babies. I completely lost myself. I didn?t know what I wanted in my career anymore. I wasn?t driven because all I was thinking about was this,? she added.
Although they had accepted that maybe they wouldn?t be able to have a baby any time soon, the pair revealed they accidentally fell pregnant.
Olympia was ?depressed?, thinking she would have to endure another miscarriage, but ?then eight weeks went by and nine weeks, 10 weeks, the 13-week scan went by, and it just kept growing and growing and growing. So it?s the miracle baby.?
?I?m pregnant. I?m 25 weeks,? the 31-year-old shared.
Olympia and Tom were married in June 2022 in a beautiful farmhouse wedding in Victoria.
?Thank you for making me the happiest girl on the planet. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being you. I love you with every morsel of my being. And I am so proud to be your wife,? the Neighbours actress penned in tribute to her husband just days after their wedding.
